Ten Biblical Keys To Physical Health
We must not make an idol out of physical health (1 Timothy 4:8). However, as stewards of God, we have a responsibility to make the most of all that the Lord has placed into our hands, for His glory. Our physical bodies must not be morally defiled, OR physically abused. As Christians, our bodies belong to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:20).
The Bible teaches much more about how to preserve physical health than many might realize. In this brief article, we will simply point out ten general keys to physical health that our Lord has graciously revealed in the Bible:

Crisco And Margarine: The Medical Establishment Changes Its Mind
In the 20th century, hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil (safflower, soybean, etc.) began to be used and praised in America. The public was warned by the medical community and the government to avoid time-tested foods like real butter (Genesis 18:8, 2 Samuel 17:29, Job 29:6, Isaiah 7:15, etc.), etc. “Butter is dangerous for your heart,” we were told. Certainly, pesticides, and cows raised in pens, instead of being grass-fed, limited the nutritional qualities of much that was sold as butter. But at least people were eating a real food. We might also add that there are much healthier things in the universe than pork lard! But at least it was “food.” But then came the scare!

Prepare For Radiation With Natural Iodine In Foods
“A United Nations forecast of the possible movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors shows it churning across the Pacific, and touching the Aleutian Islands on Thursday before hitting Southern California late Friday. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States…”
God will soon destroy those who destroy this earth (Rev. 11), and not only is mankind destroying the earth by his wicked sins, he is also destroying it by his continual manipulation of God’s creation.

82 Percent Of Schools Fail? Get The Government Out!
Read More” The number of schools labeled as “failing” under the nation’s No Child Left Behind Act could skyrocket dramatically this year, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Wednesday. The Department of Education estimates the percentage of schools not meeting yearly targets for their students’ proficiency in math and reading could jump from 37 to 82 percent as states raise standards in attempts to satisfy the law’s mandates. The 2002 law requires states to set targets aimed at having all students proficient in math and reading by 2014, a standard now viewed as wildly unrealistic. ‘No Child Left Behind is broken and we need to fix it now,” Duncan said in a statement. “This law has created a thousand ways for schools to fail and very few ways to help them succeed’…” http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gPmjfDMN5nHOpeSIZYLwkVfKAHGQ?docId=c7dc0757afd54b5ca2836c00de44535f

Organic Food And Church Attendance
There are many important things we can do to promote physical health. For example, we can rejoice in the Lord (Prov.17:22). And we can be sure to thank God for our food (1 Timothy 4:3,4). Many overlook the fact that God said every creature is good IF it is received with thanksgiving. How often Christians tend to ignore the “IF’S” of Scripture! Maybe this is why many are unhealthy. They sit down to eat and forget to give thanks. But I am convinced there is also another reason that many people get sick too easily in these last days. I believe our immune system is weakened by the antibiotics and other chemicals in our food. After quite a bit of reading on the subject, I decided to test it by eating only organic in our home. Our immune systems appeared to immediately grow stronger once the daily dose of antibiotics and other chemicals were not invading our bodies. The Lord then moved to open up the doors for our family to eat this way without increasing our food budget.

Child Criminals
I by no means wish to be understood as teaching that TV, Ritalin, etc. are the whole of the problem with modern youth. I do not hold to the error that sees TV, Ritalin, etc. as only “effects.” They are certainly actual, contributing “causes” as well as effects. Nevertheless, at the near bottom of the “problem barrel”, I would place the failure of multitudes of Christians to understand and preach the truth about the Judgment Seat of Christ and the reward of Kingdom reign. Along with this, I would place their embracing of the lies of modern textual criticism which teaches there is no written, “final authority,” thus resulting in Christianized-mysticism. These two sins produce “savorless” (saltless) Christians with little or no effect at all on the world around them. Indeed, there are other practical sins that are contributing to youthful decadence, such as the failure of millions of families to become involved with a strong church.
