Are You Retaining The Knowledge That God Is Giving You ..... Or Is Your Mind Becoming Reprobate?

How is your mind?   What are your thinking?   What is the source of your thoughts?   The word I am hearing today is "reprobate".   It means unprincipled ... depraved ... shameless.    It means to be rejected by God with no hope of salvation.    It means to be lacking of the standards of rightness and morality.   Or should I say to lack righteousness and the desire to do what is right.   It means lacking honor and integrity.    Another word for reprobate is depraved.   Depraved means corrupt or perverted.  Reprobate also means shameless  ... to feel no disgrace.     Are there things in your life that you know don't necessarily line up with the word or will of God .... yet you feel no disgrace for doing it anyway?  

How is it that we walk with Him ... talk to Him ... talk about Him ... and even confess Jesus to be our Lord and Savior .... YET we do and say anything.   More than doing and saying anything ... we have no shame for the things we do and say that we know are totally outside of the will and way of the Father.   

Romans 1:28 talks about God giving the people over to their reprobate mind.    When you look at the scripture you can see how one's mind becomes reprobate.    People with a reprobate mind first of all do not retain God in knowledge.    Understand you have to gain and retain the knowledge of who God is.     By not retaining God in knowledge, it causes your mind to become perverse.    When something is perverse ... it is directed away from what is right or good.   When your mind is perverse, you do those things which are not convenient.    Those things that are not suitable for God's purpose or your needs.   

Gain knowledge today.     Refresh, Restore, and Renew your mind.    Keep in the forefront of your thoughts and your life ... who God is and what He has done.     Never allow your mind to come into a state of being reprobate.  

Romans 1:28 - King James Version (KJV)

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
