Do you ever wonder why, in spite of the fact that there are more and more churches being built in America each year, the church and Christianity are making less of an impact within our society? Each church was built for the purpose of bringing glory to God, ministering to people, and spreading the gospel. These are excellent aspirations, so what seems to be the problem? Why are God-seeking outsiders, and even insiders, becoming more and more put off with the church? The purpose of this book is not to reveal the failings of the church, but rather, to reveal how we Christians are failing to be all that we aspire of the church and all that Christ aspires of us. Take an intriguing walk through the Bible's history of the original temple as we explore its past and discover more about God's plans for these modern temples today. Then, examine the blueprint left behind for us of our new covenant temple design: the life of Christ. Following His model can transform us into the type of living temples that continue His aspirations and change the world in a way that the church and religion were never designed to be capable of.
