Matthew 6:19 - 34

Jesus continues His teaching by reminding His followers of the abrupt and distinct change that is to be evident in the mind of the believer.  This change of mindset will work a renovation in the believer's character, resulting in their changed behavior.  This process is so central to the Christian life that to get the order incorrenct invites only disaster and failure.  The process is also where this blog gets its name (Know~Be~Do).

The mindset of the follower and student of Jesus will be markedly different in their priorities in life, their source of contentment and their life's authority.  The follower of Christ is to be distinctly different from the rest of the inhabitants of the planet.  A desire to see God's glory above all else is not innate to fallen man, yet is to be cultivated in the life of redeemed mankind.
