BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT

BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT

Today I picked up the first edition of  Health and Herbal News for 2011. (Complimentary Copy, Vol 21 – Issue 1) On the front cover I read “Keeping kids healthy & happy” and “Go for Super health”.

It’s all about health, as the name of the magazine says, and there is no doubt that we are interested.

Some time ago I picked up a book produced by the Salvation Army called A ROAD TO RECOVEREY. It’s all about “Working for the eradication of poverty in New Zealand”.

The Bible teaches that we are a tripartite being.  We consist of three component parts: body, soul and spirit.

Our spirit gives us the ability to communicate with God. Our soul gives us the ability to be a person, a personality. Our body gives us the ability through the five senses to understand. The five senses are sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.

WHY ARE WE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE BODY AND WHY ARE WE FORGETTING THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT? 

PRAISE

“When a man is sincerely humble, and never ventures to touch so much as a grain of praise, there is scarcely any limit to what God will do for him.” – C. H. Spurgeon
