YOUR BODY
First Corinthians 6:19,20
Introduction:
“Do you not know that your body
1. is a temple of the Holy Spirit,
a. who is in you,
b. whom you have received from God?
2. You are not your own;
3. you were bought at a price.
End:
Therefore honor God with your body.”
“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.”
First Corinthians 3:16,17
This picture was taken almost two years ago and does it not mean that what drives you is Caltex?
But what is driving us?
“TUESDAY 7 pm = DRIVEN BY ETERNITY STUDY” you can read on the notice board of one church here in Kaitaia. I like that.
Only today when I passed the meeting place of the congregation I noticed that the notice board was gone. The strong wind at the present time must have removed the board from the wall where it was fastened.
Are we driven by ETERNITY?
I still have to read the book by Rick Warren “The Purpose – Driven Life.” I have it here before me.
BIBLE + PRAYER = A CHANGED LIFE.
I am reading that in a letter from Biblesinaction partnering with Bible League International, I received today.
That’s actually how it was in my life.
I have said it before that the Bible was always in our house. I have also said it before that my mother prayed for me.
BIBLE + PRAYER = A CHANGED LIFE.
Praise the Lord!
“CAST YOUR CARES ON THE LORD AND HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU.”
Psalm 55:22
“He who cannot calmly leave his affairs in God’s hand, but will carry his own burden, is very likely to be tempted to use wrong means to help himself.”
C. H. Spurgeon
“Stand out from the crowd.”
I read that at the bottom of the front-page of our local paper, THE NORTHERN ADVOCATE today, Monday, May 24, 2010. There is also a picture of four people with raised hands standing on tiptoe and rejoicing. It seems to me that they are yelling something.
Are we as born again believers not the ones who stand out from the crowd with raised hands on tiptoe praising the Lord? Are we or are we not?
“stand out from the crowd”
“Limited front page and other Prime Positions Available now through to Christmas.
Next week we will be holding a special Prime Position Promotion and contacting many valued clients with Prices That Will Never Be Repeated.
What are Prime Positions? They’re advertisments that appear on our highest read pages, the pages that Your Customers Read.”
That’s what I read in the paper!
“Stand out from the crowd.” The Bible, the Word of the Living God says that to born again believers.
Philippians 2:15,16 – Click on the verse and read it please.
Are we shining like stars in the universe?
Are we holding out the Word of life?
Matthew 5:13-16
Here the Lord Jesus Christ says that we are the salt/light of the world!
Ephesians 5:8
Are we living as children of light?
Fruit of light is:
–goodness
–righteousness
–truth
First Thessalonians 5:4,5,6
We are sons of the light!
Please remember that the letters in the BIBLE are written to believers.
In Proverbs 11:25 it says:
“A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”
WE CAN EXPERIENCE THAT!

First Kings 8:10,11
“When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.”
