Do your actually realize that YOUR BODY IS PART OF CHRIST?!?! 1 Corinthians 6:15-17

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Yesterday the scripture was about homosexuality and the male prostitutes in the temple of Apollo. Paul tells us we should avoid sexual sin. One day we will be with God in heaven singing holy, holy, holy; but until that time we must treat our bodies as part of Christ's body.

1 Corinthians 6:15-17

Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don't you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, 'The two are united into one.' But the person who is joined to the LORD is one spirit with him.

This teaching about sexual immorality and prostitutes was especially important for the Corinthian church because the temple of the love goddess Aphrodite was in Corinth. This temple employed more than a thousand prostitutes as priestesses, and sex was part of the worship ritual.

Paul clearly stated that Christians are to have no part in sexual immorality, even if it is acceptable and popular in our culture.

Stop and think about the t.v. shows you watch that are just a "little shady." Does this make it okay? You are an adult and "understand" but does this make it right? A little dirt or filth is okay? This goes back to the dad who made premium quality brownies with just a wee little bit of manure in them. Would you eat them? Then why would you allow the same manure to enter your household? Thought to ponder: are you living a life of Christ or a life of YOU? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
