What is your spiritual act of worship???

                                                      6/28/13

Pornography, pornography, and more pornography - when will it end?

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

We are to think of ourselves soberly.

Isn't one's inner beauty more important than one's outward beauty?

Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away; but a woman who honors the Lord deserves to be praised. Proverbs 31:30

God's Holy Word tells us about our Creator Lord and how we humans are created by our Creator Lord, in His image, and how we should value life, and how we should protect and support life, and how our Creator Lord loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus into this world to shed His blood and to die for us sinners, so that we might have eternal life. God's Holy Word is pure, perfect, powerful, profitable for doctrine and teaching, and cannot be broken.

"Food for the stomach and the stomach for food" - but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ Himself? Shall I then then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.  1Corintians 6:13-20

Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.   Romans 12:1-2

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge, I will repay, "says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.  Romans 12:17-21

We love, because He first loved us.  1John 4:19
