Your Body--Temple Of The Holy Spirit
March 16, 2016
First Corinthians 6:19 says, “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
Every so often, we will have guests in our home and say, “My house is your house, make yourself at home. Here is the key to the front door.”
But suppose you came home one evening and your houseguest was not in the bedroom that you assigned to him? Suppose he was in your bedroom going through your income tax returns, reading old love letters or your private journals?
You would say, “Umm....may I help you? Are you looking for something?” And your guest says, “Those old love letters are a hoot. And you know, I really thought you made more money than that.”
You would probably feel the back of your neck getting hot. You might even say, “Well, that’s really none of your business. What are you doing here?” And they say, “I don’t understand. I thought you said that this house was my house. I thought you told me to make myself at home. That is just what I am doing.” You respond, “I didn’t mean that!”
Is there any area in your life that is off-bounds to the Holy Spirit?

What is the mission of the Church?
Love Worth Finding's newest book, "A Final Charge to the Church, "is based on the final series of messages Pastor Rogers preached before retiring in 2005. Pastor Rogers wanted to prepare his congregation for the future. In doing so, he provided a biblically sound blueprint that applies to all Christians on topics including unity among believers, standing strong in opposition to the enemy (Satan), the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, steadfastness in prayer, true worship, faithfulness to God's Word, caring for others, and the kingdom authority given to believers in Jesus Christ. The book is a great read for all believers who want to become better prepared, as the bride of Christ, to be radiant, pure, and faithful to Jesus, the living Word of God.
