God has used the book of Romans to change many lives since it was written almost 2,000 years ago, including Saint Augustine’s back in the 4th century, Martin Luther’s in the 16th, John Wesley’s in the 18th —and mine in the 20th! So I’ve written this study guide to help you reap the benefits from this life-changing book, too. Each lesson in this study focuses on a different aspect of renewing your mind, based on different passages from the book of Romans. Some days you’ll read just a verse or two, while other days you’ll read whole chapters. But if you’ll keep reading through the suggested passages each day, by the end of this study you’ll have read through the entire book of Romans. At the end of each chapter, I’ve included some “Questions for Reflection” that you can use for personal reflection or group discussion. The study is divided into 40 lessons (counting the Introduction and Conclusion), so you can complete the study by doing one lesson a day for 40 days, or five lessons a week for eight weeks, or a lesson a week for 40 weeks, whichever suits you or your group best. At the end of this book, I’ve included four additional devotionals that I wrote, plus one that my wife Lana wrote, after Lana’s diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, which took place midway through writing this series. I’ve included these special messages to highlight the importance of keeping your mind focused on God’s perspective on your life at all times. May God bless you as you seek to renew your mind, day by day, and may your life be transformed in the process. Eric Elder
You promised the girls that tonight you would go with them to see that new movie. You are dressed and about to leave the house when your significant others comes through the door. He takes one glaring look and begins to assault you. With your mouth busted and bleeding he growls, now you can go out! Lets face it most of us have encountered a domestic violent/abusive situation at least once or twice in our lives. The problem with Domestic violence or abuse of any kind is that the underlying force is spiritual in nature, and it must be fought with spiritual weapons. But that seems incredible. How can you fight an attitude thats so pervasive? What seems incredible or impossible for you, is very credible and possible for God to do in you, and through you. Did you ever think that your life of abuse, the things that you encountered would some day help others to overcome their abuse? Did you think that God would use your life no matter how tattered, ripped, and torn to help mend others? He can if you would allow Him. The story of your life: the abuse, mistreatment, injury, and insults you have encountered are likewise the story of Gods love for you. God the Son withstood the most gruesome abuse, and ultimate death by man, His own creation, to redeem you back to the Father; thats real love. Therefore, this recovery plan is to help you to be renewed in your mind, body and spirit so you can help yourself and others to be delivered from domestic violence. Renewing Your Mind through Biblical Principles is Gods recovery plan for you. And it will work, if you work the plan He has given_ His Word.
