No one seems to notice that a person changes their thinking patterns before they change their patterns of behavior. But I guess that is why all of those freedom and liberty scriptures in the Bible are almost never preached on you cannot easily preach on these things and the 'cannot's' at the same time. For example, how does one understand and apply Titus 1:15 to one's life and also for the general assembly? Or, the application of Colossians 2:20-23 to the church body?
