It turns out the I am not the only Manchester United fan in the world! My very good friend Rev. Andy Economides is as well, and earlier this week he wrote the below which I thought well worth sharing<\/p>\n

The Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liverpool 2 : 2 Manchester United, Sunday 4th January 2025. Martinez, the United player, scored the first goal. After the game, Martinez was asked by the BBC: \u2018There have been some very poor performances this season. You wonder how you can go from that to this so quickly?\u2019 Martinez replied by passionately pointing to his head saying: \u2018The mind\u2019. Following his gesture, Martinez explained:
\n\u2018Today we changed the mindset, the belief, the confidence. I saw everyone secure today with confidence, in every duel, with the ball, defending. We really enjoyed the game today. We have to believe; we have to believe. Sometimes when we had the ball, a few games ago, we were like stressed. Thinking too much. Today, we played without feelings. When you play like that you can enjoy football.\u2019
\nNew Year. New Mind. New Belief. New Security. New Confidence (in Christ)<\/p>\n

The Apostle Paul tells us we can be transformed by renewing of our minds (Roman 12:2). Let God transform you into the new person by changing the way you think. When we allow God to transform us by the renewing of our minds then we know<\/span> what God wants us to do and how good and pleasing and perfect God\u2019s will and purposes really are.<\/p>\n
