Temple Of The Spirit

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?
(1 Corinthians 6:12,19)

The law says yes
but justice says no.
Rules do not rule
in the temple of the spirit.

Seen above (and on home-page mastheads): Nuestra Senora de Tejas (Our Lady of Texas) by James A. Mangum in the current ECVA exhibition, "Recognition & Return."

Readings are from Streams of Mercy: a meditative commentary on the Bible by Ann Kristin Haldors Fontaine (used with permission of the author.)
