I Have A Dream


I have a dream; a dream not similar to Martin Luther King's, but with a similar mission.
My old close friend, my class mate of 2003 was making a speech in the church, "You are the temple of God"

In the first place, I'm not a theologian to preach the word of God; difficult and dangerous still, for the word of God is too deep for a common people like me to preach because it could be misinterpret without knowing , but having dreamt of what God had intended me to tell the world about it, I decided to make it a try.
So, what 'Your body is the temple of God' mean us actually?

Just as the temple is the most sacred house where the Israelite worship their God, our own God, Church is, for the Christian, where we worships and adores our saviour Jesus Christ and our Almighty God.

We have a norm when we come to the church, therefore, what we do with our body should have a norm as well.
Once you go inside the church, what are the things we ought to do or behave and shouldn't do? If those things which are forbade in the church, those things should be forbade with our body.

In the 1Corinthians 6:20, we were told that we were bought with a price, therefore we ought and we must glorify God in our body and in our spirit, which are God’s.

Gossiping is not allow in the church, yet we let our body enjoy the taste of it outside.

A dirty joke is never heard inside the church, so are we not ought to refrained it outside as we knew that wherever we are, our body remain the temple of God.

Consuming intoxicants or whatever is harmful to our body is forbidden inside the church, yet we never realise our body remain the temple of God once we go out of the church. There are many more, but let these three do the talking for now.

We takes our body for granted, uses in the way we wanted, defacing our own soul, making it suffered at the expense of the (our) pleasure the worldly provided.
God would definitely wants our body to remain pure, to glorify Him for what He had created.
He may not expected us to be perfect, for no human being can attain perfection, but He would definitely not wants us to commit deliberate sin  repeatedly.

Minimising or halting those defamatory objects/actions to our body would resulted our own benefits.
Why couldn't we make a decision just yet?
