10 Welcome! Pastor Nathan here! We have nearly made it through the toughest part of winter in Ohio. God is good! In this season, I am reminded that we all need to take care of our bodies. Here s why! 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 [NLT] 19 Don t you realize that your BODY IS THE TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT, who LIVES IN YOU and was GIVEN to you BY GOD? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must HONOR GOD WITH YOUR BODY. God has LOVINGLY AND INTRICATELY created His home on earth us! He made our bodies to CONTAIN HIS PRESENCE for a lifetime. Another reference says that we live and move and have our being in Him. So we need to walk in the MEASURE OF HEALTH that He has intended. We are RESPONSIBLE! When God created us He said VERY GOOD! Of all that He created WE are MOST PRECIOUS to His heart. So I am suggesting that taking care of our bodies is one of our SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES a God-given responsibility. We are to do this as an offering TO HIM and FOR HIM. This is to be our MOTIVATION. As we rapidly move towards Easter during our 21 day emphasis on Prayer and Fasting [March 13 April 3] let s DISCIPLINE AND DENY ourselves in order to remind ourselves that we have been CREATED FOR HIS PURPOSE. Let s offer our bodies to Him as LIVING SACRIFICES. What s Happening Family Service TODAY: KIDZ grades 1-6 sit with their families.
