The Body as Temple

By Benjamin

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?  (I Corinthians 3:16)

I really dig this. As someone who spent his early twenties on the bar scene and hanging out with lots of artsy types and musicians, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to get acquainted with the coping mechanisms of alcohol and drugs and pornography. When I’ve used, I think it’s always been as a distraction from my loneliness and my low self-esteem, but I’m sure there have been other reasons, too.

The temptation to get numb resurfaces from time to time, and there is usually hell to pay to overcome it. This piece of scripture

helps me.

Funky mood today so that is all.
