Then Prax, with that idea and thought... we are the temple... You and I are the temple...
Scripture backs this up too... so wherever you go, or wherever I go... we ARE the CHURCH!
1 Cor. 3:16-17 "Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE OF GOD and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?, if any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE."
1 Cor. 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own?"
So.... this discussion about where is the church, Paul has already told us where the church, the temple of God is.... it is in you, and me... it is in each one of us that are bought with a price... (vs. 20) therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
I am the Church. YOU are the church! Our bodies house the temple of the Holy Ghost! Not a church building... not a building made with man's hands...
Our hearts are now the dwelling place, and temple of the Holy Ghost... what an amazing, wonderful, and glorious thing to know that I don't have to go TO a church, but I AM the church, the temple of the Holy Ghost! And where two or three are gathered in my name... I will be there in the midst of them... that means at a prayer meeting, a coffee break, a chance meeting at the grocery store... wherever you are, and you gather in HIS name, He has promised to meet us there...
Now THIS is something to get excited about!
