Could we, as Christians, strive to be biblical instead of always deferring to culture in our use of language? The culture exalts the physical and its reference to the triadic nature of mankind reflects the culture’s priority- body, mind, and spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 gives us what I believe is a rightly ordered view of mankind- spirit, mind, and body! Come on, folks, let’s speak of things in the order that God would have us prioritize them, not the way the culture does. “As a man thinketh…….” Just, saying…… I’ve been writing about and attempting to sensitize people to paying attention to Scripture and keeping first things first with regard to how they are ordered in Scripture. it is my belief that God has organized his Word in order to teach us principles there. This, in my opinion, is one of them!
1 Thessalonians 5:23: “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I know this is a small thing, but the measure of our faithfulness, especially in teaching, preaching, and meditating on the Word, is defined by the details, the small things.
