3. Rebuilt Solomon’s temple

• 3 parts of salvation – corresponding to the 3 main areas of the temple – outside, inside, holy of holies

• The Ark of the Covenant is a box  – it holds the most priceless treasure (the ten commandments)
• The 10 commandments are at the foundation of His throne
• There are really only three temptations
• The lust of the flesh
• The lust of the eyes
• The pride of life
• You can stand still and backslide
• There’s only one road of life, the question is which way are you facing?  Toward God, or away from Him?

Lining Up

I am just blown away by how the Lord is lining things up in my life – thank you Lord.  Today, I went to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles with people from work, and after eating, I thought to myself ‘that was pretty good tasting but I should not have eaten it if my body is a cell of Christ’s body, if my body is a temple’.  Now I’m watching Amazing Facts and it’s talking about how the concept of the temple is cover to cover in the Bible, and how the body is one of the temples referred to.
