In
aligning ourselves with the view of the Seventh-day
Adventist NAD Health Ministry – The purpose of
our Health Ministries is to fulfill its role by providing
resource support, leadership training, organizational
development, representation, event planning and professional
support to our church and it’s members.
We are called to be a godly people who think, feel and
act in harmony with the principles of heaven. For the
Spirit to recreate in us the character of our Lord we
involve ourselves in those things which will produce
Christ-like purity, health and joy in our lives. This
means that our amusement and entertainment should meet
the highest standards of Christian taste and beauty.
It
also means because our bodies are the temples of the
Holy Spirit, we are to care for them intelligently.
Along with adequate exercise and rest, we are to adopt
the most healthful diet possible and abstain from the
unclean foods identified in the Scriptures. We are to
engage in whatever brings our thoughts and bodies into
the discipline of Christ, who desires our wholesomeness,
joy and goodness.
There
are a number of great articles on health and healthy
living at Pioneer Memorial Church’s website (The
Seventh-day Adventist Church on the campus of Andrews
University)
