1 – Why should we care for our health? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Our bodies are a temple for the Holy Spirit and God is concerned with how we care for them. We are called to surrender every part of our lives to Him.
2- What does the Bible say about media? Philippians 4:8
All behaviour, whether good or bad, begins in the mind (Luke 6:45). We should train our minds to dwell upon things that are pure, true, virtuous, and uplifting.
3 – What does the Bible say about being sober? Proverbs 23:29-33
Christians should avoid the use of alcohol, illicit drugs and tobacco (Proverbs 20:1, Isaiah 5:22). The Bible states we are to “be sober…because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Anything that damages our body, interferes with our ability to reason, or causes others to stumble (Romans 14:21), must be surrendered.
4 – What does the Bible say about food? Leviticus 11:3-4, 9-10
God originally gave humanity a plant-based diet (Genesis 1:29), however, after the flood, God allowed humanity to consume some, but not all, meat. Even before the flood, the distinction between clean animals (can be eaten) and unclean animals (can’t be eaten) was given (Genesis 7:2-3). Clean animals chew the cud and have divided hooves (eg. sheep and cow, not pigs or rabbits), have both fins and scales (eg. bream and snapper, not shark or prawns), or are foraging birds (eg. chickens and turkeys, not bats or emus). The Bible tells us “whether you eat or drink… do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
5 – What does the Bible say about marriage? Hebrews 13:4
Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. It is the only appropriate context for sexual intimacy. Viewing sexually explicit material is a violation of God’s law against adultery (Matthew 5:28). Scripture also warns against entering into relationships with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14).
6 – What does the Bible say about money? Malachi 3:8-10
God calls all of us to return a part of our income back to Him. Tithe is 10% of our income that we return to God for ministry. Returning tithe is a test of faith, but God gives us the assurance of His blessing! Tithe is different from offerings, which are free-will gifts we choose to give to God.
7 – How does God ask you to live? Titus 2:11-14
We are called to a higher standard so we can have a more abundant life and be an effective witness to those around us.
Are you willing to trust God and align every area of your life to His will?
