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.

"Prostitute" in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
In a passage teaching Christians to keep their bodies pure, Paul describes the human body as God's temple. Would it make any sense to involve such a holy place through contact with a prostitute? Of course not--and so we're to keep our bodies pure.

The body in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
This passage is a memorable description of how the diverse members of Christ's church all fit together. Using the analogy of the human body and its many different parts, each with its unique function, we learn that each of us has a special role to play in the kingdom of God. Nobody's talent is "better" than anybody else's--we're all working together to serve the body of Christ.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - What Really Upsets Jesus - #5283
You’ve been doing things with your body that damage it. Maybe things that dirty it, because you’re dragging the Holy Spirit of God into everything you do with that body of yours - which isn’t yours! Have you been doing things that degrade His temple or devalue it in some way? Have you been using His temple to gratify yourself, to do things that He died to keep you from doing?

Creating an Idea-Driven Youth Ministry Culture
Too many youth ministers miss out on an incredible source of youth ministry wisdom and ideas - their own volunteers and youth.
