“As long as men and women seek to gain their sense of significance and self-worth from anything other than God, they will be set up for temptation. Certain people, places, or things will always have an inordinate ability to lure them into sin. Until they change their definition of significance and until they transfer their security to Someone who can give them real security, they will never experience lasting victory in their lives…
Making the switch from your present set of values to God’s involves two steps. First of all, you must identify the things and people from which you draw your identity. I call this step of the process reviewing your life…
A second step in making this switch involves renewing your mind to the truth. To renew your mind, you must remove the old ways of thinking and replace them with the truth…The truth is that all of your security and significance is wrapped up in your relationship with God through Jesus Christ.”
