Elder John Melvin of Camp Creek Church opened our Fall 2009 meeting by giving us motivation to conform ourselves to the image of Christ in every moment and in every place.

In the days of temple worship before the birth of Jesus Christ, holiness was limited to specific places and people. The temple was holy, and its various parts were ascribed different degrees of holiness. Certain offices were holy, others were not. Certain activities, foods, and items were classified as holy; others were not.

Today, God has spilled out of the temple! The veil containing the holiest of holies was rent when Christ died; the common and unclean things are cleansed if they be in Christ. This means no buildings, no people, and no places are ordinary if God is present. As His children, our mission is to share our father’s love with everyone around us–be ready at all times to recognize holiness, delight in it, and react to it.
