Violence toward animals is so normalized in the world we live in. Are we reaping the effects of this violence? In this talk we explore what the Bible says about reaping what we sow.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Galatians 6:7-9, NKJV).

In 1 Corinthians we are told that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Are we treating them as such by filling them with the LIFE-GIVING foods that God said are very good? Or are we treating our bodies as a grave of craving, filling them with LIFE-DESTROYING products of death and suffering?

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own” (1 Corinthians 6:19, NKJV).
