Our Temple On Trial

Read:  Psalm 69 / Proverbs 14 / Jeremiah 13 /1 Cor. 3

 

Psalm 69:9 ~ The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Proverbs 14:27 ~ The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Jeremiah 13:23 ~ Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

1 Corinthians 3:17 ~ If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

 

The zeal of our Savior’s heart

Has put our temple’s heart on trial.

His Spirit prompts us to depart

From every sin that would defile. 

 

We are the temple of our Lord, 

Wherein we worship Christ our King.

His pleasure is our heart’s reward;

A clean heart is our offering.
