Reminders in Discipleship

It is really cool when you bring something to share with a younger student and it is what you need to hear.

I have been asking one of my guys to consider three questions:

1. Who is God?
2. Who am I?
3. What am I here to do?

Those questions should be read as if you or he are asking them, not asking him about me.

And so I planned to discuss 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. This occurs after Paul is discussing sexual immorality in the Church, but I find it's impacts to go further.

"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." (ESV)

We started to discuss this verses implications for the three questions. And came down to a few questions we both needed to consider this week...

- What would it look like if we truly believed our bodies were the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
- What would it look like if we lived like we were not our own, but were God's?

I need to be reminded of these things often, I do not do either well. Thanks God.
