To hear the latest episode of Solomon's Porch Teaching with Barry Borthistle, click on the button at the top of the page to learn more about the life-changing truth that Your Body is God's Temple!


I Cor. 3:16 - "Do you not discern and understand that you (the whole church at Corinth) ARE GOD’S TEMPLE (His sanctuary) and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you (to be at home in you, collectively as a church also individually)?"


“To recognize and receive the wondrous truth of being God’s Temple is the beginning of walking and living a supernatural life!”  ~~  Michael Ellison.


This truth is life –changing. There are at least 40 Bible verses on this awesome truth.


The late Australian Bible teacher and author, Keven Conner (1927-2019) frequently taught on them of God’s dwelling place on earth, emphasizing that the human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit according to New Testament Scripture (such as I Cor. 6:19-20).


Key Teachings on the Body as a Temple


·  Scriptural Foundation: rooted in the Apostle Paul’s teaching that believers’ bodies are indwelt by the Holy spirit and belong to God rather than themselves.


·  Spiritual Stewardship: emphasizes honoring God physically through personal discipline, purity and lifestyle choices.


·  The Habitation Theme: connects to Conner’s broader structural teachings on the dwelling place of God – moving from the Old

Testament tabernacles and temples to the individual believer and the corporate church

God did not promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. 

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it: 

The essence of life.
