Take Care of His Temple

I have once again resumed my exercise/fitness program. I have started and stopped this process many times, which I am sure many you have as well. However, I feel a little different about this particular effort. I am committed to taking care of God's temple, because I realize there is so much more He wants to get out of my life. You see, before I was trying to do it for me, but this time I am doing it for Him. The Word of God tells us that our bodies are His temples - the place where He lives. I don't want God to live in a run-down, condemned building. Therefore, I have to eat better and work-out. I may lose a few pounds in the process, but that's really not my goal this time. This time its not about me, but Him. Instead of taking care of my body, I've decided to take care of His temple. What about you? Are you satisfied with the house you have put God in?

Independence Day

I hope you and your family are having a happy holiday weekend. The 4th of July is usually associated with fireworks, barbecue, and family fun. On this 4th, remember that this day marks the indepedence of our Nation from Great Britain. However, from a spiritual perspective we are also independent from the vices and control of the devil. As a believer, do not allow the enemy to imprison you through fear, doubt, or anxiety concerning life's daily affairs. Make up in your mind to live a saved life free from the tricks of the enemy. Remember, those whom the Son has set free are free indeed. Happy 4th of July. Enjoy your independence. Jesus paid for it!
