Tuesday, September 15

Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason.—Rom. 12:1.

 

Christian husbands need to guard against adopting an improper view of women. Why? One reason is that a person’s thoughts often lead to actions. The apostle Paul warned anointed Christians in Rome to “stop being molded by this system of things.” (Rom. 12:1, 2) When Paul wrote to the Romans, the congregation had evidently been in existence for some time. Yet, Paul’s words imply that some in the congregation were still being influenced by the customs and thinking of the world. That is why he exhorted them to change their thinking and behavior. That counsel certainly applies to Christian husbands today. Sadly, some of them have been influenced by the thinking of the world and have even abused their wife. w25.01 9 ¶4

When I went to pioneer school many years ago, we had a circuit overseer that joked that that we're not allowed as pioneers to have any organs removed from our body, or else we wouldn't be whole souled in our service. -- Just a memory the verse made me think of.
