“But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God based on faith. My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.
-Philippians 3: 7-11
What another wonderful Sunday night service! I am so excited to get all the great feedback on this study. We are learning that our bodies are a temple for God's house. God will not live in a dirty house! Isn't it wonderful to know that when we confess our sins before God that we can be made pure again?
That teenager that had given their bodies before marriage and defiled themselves can come clean and pure before God through confession of their sin. He cast it out as far as the east is to the west! WHEW! That is just good stuff~ The lies that we have told or lived in, the abuse that we have put our bodies through, can all be confessed so that we can come to God spotless. Think about that this week. What is making your house dirty? Is it gossip, the computer, the cell phone, the tv, sex, drugs, drinking, lying. It could be a boyfriend/girlfriend, a job, a friend. Commit to not letting anything dirty up your house. Remember God will not leave where ther is ANY dirt. No matter how small we think it to be.
Have a great Tuesday! God Bless :]
