Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-chapter by chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message from dust to dust.

As we pick up in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 4.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck. Back in the days of the Wild West,

when a man was buried where he was shot, the body was buried in the ground, decomposed, went back

to dirt, went back to the basic chemical elements. Prairie grass grew, the roots went down, took up some of the same chemicals

that once made it up a part of a person's body. The cows grazed, took those chemicals into

their systems, created milk, which was drunk by others. And so the chemicals that were once a part of another person's body now become a part of my body

as my body assimilates those chemicals and makes it a part of my body.

So who gets the chemicals in the resurrection?

Which body do they get to go with?

And in reality, they say that you have a new body every seven years anyhow.

You know, that through this process of rejuvenation of cells and so forth and the

recreating of the cells, that every seven years you actually go through a major change.
