What is Defiling the Temple?
My Christian Friends…I want your feedback. In I Corinthians 3:16-18 we hear Paul saying that if you ‘destroy the temple, God will destroy you’. In I Corinthians 6:19, after Paul commands us to flee sexual immorality, he declares that our Body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. In II […]
Christians, stop judging each other!
Within the past several months I went to a Church service where the Pastor of the assembly, on a Sunday morning, literally stood before the flock and mocked, pantomimed, made fun of and judged other quote Christians unquote.
