Against Desecration

Wednesday, August 17, 2022

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12: 1-2

“What will the end times be like? The story of Chanukah, a foreshadowing of the end times and the battle of the anti-Christ, provides a key. Chanukah centers on the desecration of the temple. But the Bible says that our human bodies are now God’s temple. So end times will be characterized by desecration, specifically desecration of the human body. We are now witnessing the selling and exploitation of sex and human sexuality, the explosion of pornography into a multi-billion dollar industry, and an increasingly blurred line between pornography and mainstream culture. People are no longer seen as sacred, but as cheap commodities to be used and abused. As end-time believers, we need to consecrate our lives, our hearts, our bodies, and our sexuality to God so there is not even a hint of immorality. Keep your eyes, your ears, and your thoughts from what is unclean. You are an end-time believer living in an age of desecration. Therefore, live sacred, think sacred, act sacred, and be sacred because you are the temple of the living God.”

From Message #1006 – The Age of Desecration
Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
