Most homes, and churches, don\u2019t fall apart all at once. They drift. Conversations get shorter. Patience gets thinner. And many of us are exhausted, not because we don\u2019t care, but because we\u2019re trying to hold relationships together with our own strength. When God\u2019s vision is missing, both our house and God\u2019s house slowly lose their warmth and direction.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do we stop the drift? How do we move from a home that is &#8220;perishing&#8221; for lack of vision to a home that is thriving in the Spirit? How do we get God\u2019s vision for our house and God\u2019s house?<\/p>\n<p>In the apostle Paul\u2019s letter to the Philippians, he reminded believers that since they had already been given the mind of Christ, they were called to live out of that new mindset in all their relationships. We are called to live out of the new mindset we have in Christ in all our relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13881,"template":"","tags":[],"series":[2986],"scripture-book":[1317],"scripture-chapter":[1334],"speaker":[2007],"class_list":["post-13880","message","type-message","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","series-vision","scripture-book-philippians","scripture-chapter-1334","speaker-gary-combs"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/13880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/message"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/13880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13882,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/13880\/revisions\/13882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13880"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=13880"},{"taxonomy":"scripture-book","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scripture-book?post=13880"},{"taxonomy":"scripture-chapter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scripture-chapter?post=13880"},{"taxonomy":"speaker","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker?post=13880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
