General Health Advice - Based Upon Spiritual Common-Sense

General health advice for longevity from someone with the education of a “simple” country doctor.

·       Walk a country-mile per day.

·       Eat an apple per day. That, an ample portion of bread, and a tall glass of water maketh a "wholesome" meal.

·       Live frugally. This shall reduce stress. An "old" used Honda, Toyota, or Ford is a mine of diamonds and gold.

o   Such might help one find an early escape from the nightmare of "long” arduous hours at a workstation, in a cubicle, or other vocational location for the typical “forty-five” year career path.

o   It might allow financial independence with the ample pay scales in many modern professional and paraprofessional roles plus the path of journeyman carpenters, masons, and other tradesmen.

o   And, this dream might be found in one’s late-thirties and permit enjoying a “second” career.

o   The modern “African-Americans” calleth certain consumer items a "whip" for a reason. They will keep one working for the entirety of his life like a slave for a relentless task master, as a result of owning one of them.

·       We, faithful believers, are often praying that we might get the "worm" out of our finances. In some cases, the 'abundance of finances' are the “annelidan”.

·       On occasion, we might have so much that it adversely effects our health and quality of life. Porterhouse steaks, unctuous "au gratin" potatoes, and intoxicating beverages, all of which, are a wicked indulgence, based upon scripture, are not for the "spiritually-wealthy" but for the "sinful" and "poor in spirit".

·       Do you know where these principles are found in scripture?

·       Search Leviticus and Proverbs.

·       Plus, modest living permits one providing an inheritance for one's children's children. Which is all that the Lord asks from a "truly" faithful man.

·       True "wealth" is Liberty in Christ. Which is described in 2 Peter 2. That is the second chapter of the second book written by the apostle Peter. Liberty in Christ is not a "license" for sin, as some falsely believe, and is "preached" from certain American pulpits, by the “red-letter” words of Christ in the Sermon on the Mount.

·       Such is "spiritual" bondage and a misinterpretation of the third chapter of Romans, written by Saul of Tarsus; whom the Lord gave a new name. When, he saw a flash of light that no other man saw. And, had a “solitary” conversation with the Lord. Yet, such must be "true" madness. As, modern physicians deem.

·       And, the notion that every abominable act is covered by Christ’s Blood is a "false" prophetic message for which modern ears itch. As, 2 Peter 2 also shares and is found near the end of Romans 3. “And, yea, we establish the Law”.

·       Furthermore, this "misinterpretation of Scripture" insults His Love for you. He is not the “doormat” of a “selfish-minded” mate in this relationship modelled after that of a matrimony.

·       If, there be not consequences for sin; why be there American jails, prisons, and forensic psychiatric wards.

·       When resolving our understanding of His Word; it is those "red letter words" that carry the most weight. These give their “greatest” insights on how those who claim that they are Christians should live.

·       I would suggest that the entirety of your behaviors, at all times, be “in-line” with those required by Scripture. In terms of mental hygiene, this truly should be the "standards" set forth by the modern behavioral health professional. "For, a 'rod' as long as that of 'modern statistical normality' 'spoileth' His children." He has ‘higher’ standards for us.
