If we choose to conform to the patterns of the world, we can\u2019t expect to be able to discern the will of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Christians, we are not meant to conform to an angry, fearful, upside-down world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In relationships, we meet each other at the point of our dysfunction. You can\u2019t grow by being surrounded by people who are exactly like you. They reinforce your weaknesses. If your mind isn\u2019t being renewed, you\u2019ll spend time with people who stay stuck commiserating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewing your mind means no longer walking according to your old ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Christians, we don\u2019t leave people behind because we\u2019re better than them. We invite them to come with us because we\u2019re growing in Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Setting Your Minds and Hearts on Things Above, Not on Earthly Things<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God has given you the ability to focus your attention on what is most important according to him, which is Jesus Christ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you gave your life to Christ, you died to your old self and its ways. You now live for him and his kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let the Peace of Christ Rule in Your Hearts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a follower of Christ, you have the gift of his peace in you as evidence of the Holy Spirit. But you have to let him rule by cooperating with him and letting him be in charge of your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Rules Your Mind? What Dominates Your Thoughts?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Self-Doubt<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fear of Failure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regret<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Negative Body Image<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Comparison to Others<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Perfectionism\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Social Anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Financial Worries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Relationship Concerns<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Members of One Body Called to Peace<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The renewing and healing of our minds and hearts is not just about us. It\u2019s about everyone else as well. <\/span><b>You have a responsibility to be emotionally healthy for the people around you that depend upon you. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you show up emotionally healthy in your relationship, it spills onto the lives around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The voices around you will eventually become the voices inside you. Are the people surrounding you the kind that remind you that Jesus loves you and is in control when things go wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your healing is also meant to be for the people around you, not just your happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The importance of peace within the body of Christ, the church, is this: Sometimes, people coming to the church will give the church one time in their lives. They\u2019re walking in with all the stuff they\u2019ve heard from the world\u2014that Christians are judgmental and terrible people\u2014but we have to show that we\u2019re not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let Your Light Shine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bible often contrasts light and darkness. Darkness is used as a description of separation from God for eternity. It\u2019s also regret, lack of vision, and aloneness. Light is illumination, beauty, and goodness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two ways that people shine:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here I Am!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There You Are!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Christ followers, we ought to be the \u201cThere you are\u201d kind of people who leave others shining because we encourage, support, and strengthen them. As they watch your life and see the encouragement, hope, strength, and goodness, it glorifies your father in heaven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cHere I am\u201d type of person glorifies themselves. But those who shine their light on Jesus and others cause them to want to know more about what makes Jesus great.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let the Gospel of Christ Dwell in You Richly<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Living a life saturated in the message of the Gospel means it doesn\u2019t change based on the people you\u2019re hanging out with. The gospel is always on you, over you, and in you. You\u2019re teaching people by the way you live your life as they watch you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The message of the Gospel also allows us to correct one another with godly wisdom. When you correct someone with the Gospel, there\u2019s supposed to be a seriousness to it, but there\u2019s also a winsomeness to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ministry is not restricted to the stage or a list of things to do. But it is whatever you do, whether in word or deed, all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]<em>Catch up or rewatch the full messages from our Relationship Reset series <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLz5PuMh2kVdRyt-VWvRNRXZBhpqMTtksZ&amp;si=0NDj-JwYISKhlzzC\">here.<\/a><\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":115042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[139],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-115039","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-relationship-reset-issue"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
