So glad you have addressed this oversight in the church. It has always bugged me that you go to church & they usually serve junk food at their events, and there never seems to be any teaching on responsibility for our bodies.
I take seriously that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so why would I pollute it any more than I would pollute my mind with what the world provides and advocates? God has provided us with a huge array of healthy food and medical remedies, yet we seem to put more trust in what humans have made for their own profit (not necessarily ours).
Many take little care of their health, but then ask for prayer when illness comes, much of which could have been avoided by a healthy lifestyle. Though God is merciful and offers us undeserved grace, still we should not presume on God's grace, much as Jesus said in His temptations: Don't take unnecessary risks that put God to the test when you expect Him to then rescue you.
I hope your articles inspire more people to make this an important part of Biblical living and teaching.
I so appreciate this post and agree that to neglect our emotions is as detrimental as neglecting our body. God made us to uniquely operate as one whole unit. To overlook our part of the whole (body, soul, spirit) is to our peril. Thank you Mike! Keep up the great work!
As I get older I can feel how my thoughts and neglect of my soul creates stress and physical consequences for myself. It feels more readily apparent to me of the relationship between the physical body and non physical.
A timely message, considering it is cold season and everyone is hopping to the pharmacy to get their flu shot. Showing people how to boost up and maintain a healthy immune system would you much to improve the general health of the public and keep them away from the pharmacy and the needless jabs.
The current system of “health” in our society is controlled by the deception of Satan. He has convinced nearly everyone that covering up symptoms with drugs is “God’s” way. In fact, a drugged society is easier for Satan to steer away from God. They are weakened and gullible. Satan has taken advantage of the tendency of humans to avoid pain and suffering at any cost - and the cost is spending eternity with the devil. Check out my book on this subject.
If I have a bone protruding from my leg, trust me, I WILL go to a doctor. Short of that.... nope! I am nothing to a doctor other than a revenue stream, treat, treat, treat. Never heal, just treat. God gave us amazing bodies and I now believe that he also gave us everything to take care of them properly. I am actively making an effort to learn the healing properties of nature, also the connection between my physical body and my spirit. Mike, I am anxious to hear your next chapter on this subject!
Thank you, Kathy. Yes, I agree. Definitely don’t try to treat something like a broken bone yourself unless you are fully trained in doing so. But as you say so much of everything else that’s associated with the medical system has been abused. We need to trust in God. I’m not sure when I will put out the next article on this subject but God willing it will be soon.
No one should be a burden on society or their family if they have the possibility to be healthy. It’s our civic duty, our familial responsibility and our agreement with God.
Agreed. It pains me that so few see the importance of making a priority of their health especially when we are in such a poor state in the US. We need to be better stewards of what we have been given. Thank you.
You are missing the fact that these chronic conditions are now being diagnosed in much younger populations than before. It is not just a matter of "now we live long enough to eventually experience chronic conditions."
You are also attributing the decline in infectious diseases to "medicine," when in reality better living conditions should get most of the credit. Sanitation, clean drinking water, greater access to fresh food, etc. should get most of the credit.
Thank you for your reply. I agree and am not diminishing the contributions of many medicines to combating disease and extending life. I think we’ve become overly reliant on them while at the same time the pharmaceutical industry is taking advantage of us.

Sloth, it all begins there.
Agreed. It pains me that so few see the importance of making a priority of their health especially when we are in such a poor state in the US. We need to be better stewards of what we have been given. Thank you.
Amen, Thank you for this reminder🙏All Glory to the Lord✝️
Thank you. Amen 🙏🏼 All glory to Him.
Our body is God’s home, we should care for it with that in mind.
Amen to that brother. I agree completely.
