Simple Survey

Today, polls and surveys are used to gauge public opinion and define necessary action. Here’s a simple survey question: “Which is more important, physical health or mental health?” Obviously, both are important, and they affect each other. How would you answer the question? Jesus had a pretty good answer.

The Sun of Righteousness

The Sun of Righteousness

O soul in this life with temptations you’re dealing,
The devil is killing, destroying, and stealing.
Let not your heart faint for in Christ we are free,
He’s given us life, the salvation we need.

Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.

Perhaps with dark words in your mind you are dealing,
You can’t shake the dread and despair you are feeling.
Remember that God sent His Son for your health,
Embrace and enjoy all his saving true wealth.

Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.

God’s truth in the scriptures are for us revealing,
That Christ our Passover brings goodness and healing.
Remember his body was broken for you,
And sinless, his blood brings forgiveness anew.

Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.

Do negative thoughts to your mind keep appealing,
Your fate turning dark and your doom ever sealing?
Don’t listen to Satan, the father of lies.
Christ gives you victory, open your eyes!

Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.

O lift your eyes high beyond earth’s azure ceiling,
And offer up worship as now you are kneeling.
To God our dear Father Who gave us His Son.
Fret not, but rejoice, in Christ all has been done.

Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.

“But unto you that fear [respect] my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings [rays]….”

–Malachi 4:2

Ancient Hebrew Calendar

Every day is a special, holy, and sanctified day when we walk with the Father and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. But why did God set life in a seven-day cycle? We see this not only on our calendar, but in life around us.

Words and Healing

Vinson

A young person recently came to my wife and me for prayer about a health challenge. She had received a gloomy prognosis from the doctor and was quite downcast about it. The doctor’s words caused her to become very anxious about her healing. We noticed that words and thoughts—good or bad—can greatly affect the healing process.

Does our mental diet influence what happens to our bodies? The scriptures show that healing is very dependent on the words we allow into our minds and hearts.

During this time of year, many people think back on Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. They are reminded of his last supper and how he instituted “holy communion” as a memorial of what he would accomplish.

Blue Mountain Learning

The beautiful Blue Mountains in New South Wales

While camping with friends in Australia’s Blue Mountains west of Sydney, I was intrigued by the beautiful rock formations and miles of scenic forests. The many oil-bearing eucalyptus trees fill the local atmosphere with finely dispersed droplets of oil and combine with dust particles and water vapor to yield a rich blue color across the landscape.

During our first visit there, we went horseback riding in Gosford. On another occasion, we returned to the Blue Mountains for  a weekend to get to know each other better, study the Bible, and enjoy the local sites. I learned a few life-and-death lessons there.
