Chapter One
God's Promises When ...You Want to Be Cool
Stylin', chillin', and rollin' your way Are fine when you're breaking no rules. But helpin', respectin', and followin' God's ways Are the only way to be coooool.
Do not be shaped by this world. Instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you. And you will be able to know what is good and pleasing to God and what is perfect.
Romans 12:2

But you are chosen people. You are the King's priests. You are a holy nation. You are a nation that belongs to God alone. God chose you to tell about the wonderful things he has done. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
