By Anthony Joseph Hopkins July 20, 2021 1 st Corinthians 3:16 says Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? I really believe it that our bodies are the temple of the God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. This is the reason why I stopped drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.

Ephesians 2:1-5. And What it means to all People!! By Anthony Joseph Hopkins July 12, 2021 Praise the Lord Saints!! Praise the Lord!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. Ephesians 2:1-5 says and you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lust of the flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (By grace you have been saved). This means in spite of our transgressions and sins, we have been saved by God’s grace. It is rea...
