Body Building

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 27, 2009

Did you know that God has a building code? Christ will inspect our buildings using the ultimate test - the fire of His holiness. I am challenging each individual in the ’Body of Christ’ today to prepare for a building inspection. If we ignore God’s codes

Opening illustration: We must use the right building materials if we want our ministries to stand in the day of His visitation. Every state in this country has strict building codes. You can’t just buy a piece of land and throw up a structure any way you choose. Local governments have standards ...read more

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 10, 2023

The Body Of Christ

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

“A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

The Resurrection Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul is writing this greatest of all chapters on the resurrection because of the questions of the Corinthians. Some of them were very strange questions. The saying is, there is no such thing as a foolish question, and that holds true even though Paul begins by calling their question foolish.

One of the strangest articles I have ever heard of was the one titled Who Ate Roger Williams. This great fighter for religious liberty, and the founder of the first Baptist church in America in Providence, R.I., died and was buried in a very insecure casket. The result was an apple tree broke ...read more

The Second Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Everything made by man is doomed. Only the God-made body, and the God-redeemed world can be the focus of the Christian hope. That is why Paul groaned and longed to be clothed with the heavenly body God had for him.

Most of us could tell true stories of our forgetfulness that allowed us to put a book, a casserole, or some other object on the top of our car, and then get in and drive off.
