The Gospel According To the Birds - #6513
If the usual means of supply are cut off, God doesn't need those. It's been God that's been the source all along. He'll deliver it another way. He will feed you from His storeroom. If you don't believe me, just ask the birds.

Parts of the body - a Christian perspective
Just as the human body is made up of many different parts, each of which has a unique function but which contributes to the whole, so individual Christians are joined together to form the church--the body of Christ on earth.

God's Temple in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
The idea that the human body is "God's temple," found in this passage, is a profound argument against violence--either violence inflicted on others, or inflicted on ourselves. We're made in God's image, and not just our souls but also our bodies have a special value in reflecting that image.

The body of Christ - a Christian perspective
The Christian church is, in a sense, the body of Christ on earth. Different believers are given different functions and abilities, just as the different parts of the body coordinate together.

"Body" and "temple" in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
The ultimate argument against harming ourselves or others comes down to the Christian teaching that our bodies are spiritual temples to God, precious to Him. Damage done to our bodies is damage done to God's temple.

A Very Expensive House - #5925
In a sense, you drag God into everything you do with your body. It's not your body to do what you please with, to drink what you want, eat what you want, watch what you want, listen to what you want. You don't eat what you want, do what feels good with it, put poison into it, and use it for things God hates. This house was bought at a very expensive price; in fact, the highest price ever paid - the life of the sinless Son of God. And now you've invited Him to move into this house He paid for with His life. Treat your body like what it really is. It's the property of God!

Dwells - a Christian perspective
Christians believe that our physical bodies are actual "temples" of God, in which His Holy Spirit dwells. When we turn our lives over to God, He sends His Spirit to live in us and direct us.

Spiritual gifts in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
This passage gives us perspective on "spiritual gifts" and their place in the church. Gifts are talents and responsibilities bestowed on us by God, and each has its own place in the life of the church--none is "better" or more important than any other; they're all key parts of the whole, just as the various parts of the human body work together.

Girl Watching - God's Watching - #5906
Both men and women have fallen for a casualness about sex that robs it of its God-given beauty. Like snow, it's beautiful when it's fresh and clean but it's ugly when it's trampled and soiled. Godly men, make that covenant with your eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. Godly women, dress for respect, not attention like the temple of God that you are.

Work together - a Christian perspective
Just as the different parts of the human body work together, so the different parts (people) of the church are called to cooperate and work together to accomplish the goals of the church.
