BODY STEWARDSHIP

by  John Roy Bohlen and John 5:30

  I ask people this question:  What would you think of me if I begged your money, begged your money, got your money with which to purchase a fine vehicle with which to deliver Bibles and ministries to the mission field, but then, in order to save money, or because of convenience, put toilet flushings and dirty water into the fuel tank of this expensive automobile?  Then prayed that God would heal the car when it did not work properly?  What would you think of me?  Eh?

  Then I ask:  "What should I think of you, when you do put the nutritional equivalent into your own body, which is more fearfully and wonderfully made than any vehicle or machine???  Eh?  This is exactly what people do who eat or drink that which is not healthy, who then ask God to heal them.  God says to us in the Bible, 1 Cor 3:16-17  "Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  17  If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are."  (NAS)
