The Dusty Bible
Dust off your Bible to a diamond mind!
Suppose you worked in a research lab tracking down cures (NATURAL ORGANIC CURES) for dreaded diseases. Your work specialized in nutrition and the effects of various foods on personal health. Day after day you conducted very sophisticated experiments, and day after day you were frustrated by your lack of progress.
Then something wonderful happened. While you were at home lying in your hammock and sipping a glass of tahitian noni juice, you noticed that these minutes were the most refreshing, most relaxing, most rejuvenating of your day. You began to wonder if there was any link between your hammock and your good health.
When you returned to the laboratory, it dawned on you: The secret was not the hammock; it was the Noni Juice Bible Connection. (HOLY COMMUNION!) You began testing the effects of pure noni juice on various diseases. Eureka! Almost accidentally you discovered that some properties in fresh-squeezed noni fruit slowed a rapid pulse rate, lowered cholesterol, broke down the fats in the diet, boost immune systems, and could possibly extend life by a dozen years.
This is a hypothetical case, of course, and I'm not suggesting that communion, using noni juice can do any of these things. But suppose it were true. Suppose you found the secret to retarding many disabling conditions in the human body.
You immediately wrote a book about your findings. It had the potential of changing life as we know it on our planet. The book was translated into dozens of languages, printed, and shipped to bookstores around the world. Sales were brisk. People everywhere bought it.
Then something unexplainable happened. People bought your book, but they didn't read it. You made a major discovery that would both extend human life for many years and improve its quality, but nobody paid any attention to what you had to say. You were dumfounded. What's more, you were heartbroken.
Had this noni juice scenario been true, perhaps you would know something of the heartache God must experience. He carefully communicated a message that would save men and women from the devastation of hell and enable them to enjoy his company forever. He communicated the book to some forty authors over more than fifteen hundred years. He inspired them in such a way that what they wrote accurately reflected what he revealed. He gave us his written Word---the Holy Bible.
And we bought Bibles. Did we ever buy Bibles. We bought black Bibles, red Bibles, burgundy Bibles, and denim Bibles. Brides bought white Bibles to carry down the aisle. Parents bought their children Bibles with cartoons and pictures. Teens bought their own special editions. When we got older, some entrepreneurial published even printed giant print editions for those of us with failing eyesight.
United States presidents placed their hands on God's Word when they took the oath of office. Courtroom witnesses did the same to certify that they would tell nothing but the truth. The Bible really got around
We bought Bibles in such quantities that it became the best-seller of all times. God must be pleased. So many people were so interested in what he had to say.
But the Bible is a little like exercise bikes. A lot of people buy Bibles, but few people use Bibles. Exercise bikes show up in garage sales more often than anything else. Why? The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The same is true with Bibles.
While the number of Bibles printed and purchased is phenomenal, the number of Bibles read and heeded is pitiful. For many people the Bible has become a family heirloom, a coffee table dust gatherer, or the object of a maddening search on Sunday morning that makes you late for church.
It has often been said that if everybody blew the dust off their Bibles at the same time, we'd all be killed in the dust storm.
Revelation 22: 2
down the middle of the street of the city. The tree of life was on each side of the river. It produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of all the nations.
Your body, you know, is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you since you received Him from God. You are not your own property. You have been bought and paid for. This is why you should use your body for the glory of God
I Corinthians 6:19-20
But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 30:17a
Your doctor went to school for years. He put in his time as an intern and a resident. He keeps up with most of the headline-making medical news. Thank goodness we have educated doctors to treat us when we have cancer, cataracts and health problems that we can't take care of alone. Doctors are good at blood tests, surgery and prescription medicines. The aren't so good at telling you how to avoid getting cancer or cataracts in the first place. And they often don't take the time to help you improve your arthritis and allergies with simple preventive remedies you may find reading your Bible, meditation does wonders for the immune system.
Japanese researchers have just uncovered a remarkable compound that boosts your immune system's ability to kill cancer cells by up to 300%. They're getting much better results than chemo, radiation, or surgery alone have been able to produce.
Why not lose weight without dieting, lower your risk of heart disease to nearly nothing and feel better than you ever have in your life?Dr. Dean Ornish has the miracle you're looking for.
Allergic reactions trigger most asthma attacks. Allergy triggers, or allergens, include pollen, dust, mold, animal hair and feathers. Clean your house regularly to keep dust and mold to a minimum.
Don't cut fat and maintain your weight. Here's more surprising fat news: Reducing fat might not be as "heart smart" as it sounds. Tufts University scientists recently put 11 middle-aged men and women volunteers on a variety of average, reduced and low-fat diets.
