Category: Taking Care of Our Temple

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-19

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

We are God’s temple. His word tells us so. We are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit! 

As the dwelling place of God’s spirit, He wants us to take certain steps to care for our temple. 

In today’s video we talk about the things that God’s word teaches us about being a good representative, a good ambassador for Christ, and a good steward by caring properly for our bodies. 

We talk informally today and share some things that we have walked through, as well as things we have seen others go through regarding caring for the temple of God. 

We believe this will be very, very encouraging for those who watch it, so we do hope you’ll set aside a few minutes to check it out.

We love each and every one of you. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-13

(1 Corinthians 3:16 NKJV)  Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

The Spirit of God dwells in us!

To dwell in anything means:  to remain for a time, to live as a resident.

Taking care of our temple is a big part of being a Christian, a child of the most High God. It allows God to remain in us or reside there.

How we take care of our temple determines how much God can do in us and through us. This is where He dwells, not in a church building or any building. He dwells in nothing made by hands.

(Acts 17:24 NKJV)  “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

It is important to God that we care for ourselves. We need to eat right and exercise, get the rest we need and make sure we even share laughter to help us have a good, healthy, balanced life.

We can not mistreat our temples and expect to be able to do the things He may ask us to do. We have to be ready and alert. We have to be trained and disciplined in all areas. He wants a place to live that is clean and healthy.

Temptation, can come by way of food or drink, lack of exercise, use of bad language, lack of studying or reading God’s word, watching the wrong movies/television shows, listening to music that is demeaning or slanderous to God, or even hanging out with the wrong crowd, etc.

These are some of the ways we can be tempted, causing our temple… our body, soul and spirit to be involved in things that can take us off the path, or destroy our walk or call with God.

These very things can cause stumbling blocks to rise up in front of us, preventing us from becoming all that God wants us to be. They can cause our relationship with Him to be less than what it needs to be in order for us to hear God on a regular basis.

It’s not necessarily one thing more than another that can ruin it for us, but in all these areas we need to be careful. Anything that is not good for our temple, we should steer clear of and not allow the enemy to continue to tempt us into trying even just a little.

Keeping our temple clean is important to God and it should be very important to us as well. These may seem like little things that are not very noticeable to others, but it’s the little foxes that come and steal. (Song of Solomon 2:15 NKJV)  Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-26-12

(1 Corinthians 6:19 NKJV)  Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

We are not our own. If we have become children of God, we do not belong to ourselves. We belong to Him.

In light of this, we need to honor our bodies and take care of them. There are many implications to this. We can look at this from a spiritual point of view and a physical point of view.

Today we’re going to look at the physical (or natural) side of it.

What do we do to damage or abuse our bodies?

Let’s take a look at a few things; smoking, over-eating, obesity, drug use, alcohol abuse, and others that can be named as part of this list.

Every single one of us has probably been guilty of at least one of these at some point in our lives. Not eating properly was a biggie for me for many years. I love snacks. Oh, and they love me too! I can tell by the way they would cling to me 🙂

But God convicted me about my eating habits and I have been working really hard to change them. And I feel so much better, healthier now.

Some people might say that things like this really don’t matter to God. But if He put it in His word it’s because it matters to Him! We can’t just pick and choose the things that we like or don’t like about His word.

What’s your bad habit? What can you think of that you do to yourself that isn’t pleasing to God?

We are His. He wants us to take care of ourselves and stick around for a while. He still has much for us to do!
