“Your beautiful body is your temple”

“Your beautiful body is your temple,” I am reading in the magazine called WellBeing. (WellBeing Issue 146)

Which ardent reader of the Bible is not reminded of a question the apostle Paul is asking the “sanctified in Christ Jesus” in CORINTH, when reading those words?

The question he asks is:

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” – First Corinthians 6:19

He says also that we are not our own, that we have been bought at a price, and that we must honour God with our body.

The Bible says that our beautiful body is “a temple of the Holy Spirit”.

“All over the world in the most diverse situations are to be found Christian men and women who owe incalculable debt to the ministry of Dr D. Martyn Lloyd – Jones …”

I am reading that on the dust jacket of the Book called “God’s Ultimate Purpose” which is  an exposition of EPHESIANS one. The book has 37 sermons and so far I have read the first 20! On the cover it says also:

“By that date Dr Lloyd – Jones had been more than 25 years in the ministry and his convictions on how Scripture should be taught were fully matured.”

I am one of those Christian men who owe incalculable debt to the ministry of Dr D. Martyn Lloyd – Jones.

“WHERE YOUR SATISFACTION AND TRUST IS OUR PRIME FOCUS”

That is written twice on the card I receive when my dentist reminds me that I am due for my regular dental check – up!

This is the most severe WINTER we have experienced in KAITAIA, in the Far North of New Zealand, since we came to live here at the end of 2004. It is the time for reading good books!
