“It is a much easier thing to build a temple for God than it is TO BE A TEMPLE FOR God.” C.H. Spurgeon
 
A Good Start: A Book for Young Men and Women by C.H. Spurgeon
 
How can we BE a temple for God?
 
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 5:23 that we are body, soul, and spirit - what do each of these components mean and how can we improve in each?
 

Spirit
Must be “born again” - and being made alive in Christ means that you see the rest of reality through a different lens



Soul
Mind - we don’t want to conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our MINDS - trained to think differently, learning to use your mind to advance the Kingdom and not just yourself
Emotions - good indicators, bad masters - listen and learn
Will - what are you doing that is worthy of being a child of God?



Body
Be careful of vanity and chasing after temporary things
Can you serve the Lord…your family…and others in your present physical condition?
