Vaccination – Make An Informed Church

Take note that the human race and all the species on our planet survived for thousands of years without any vaccinations. But why? The Bible tells “And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.” – Gen 1:31.
 
God designed us with a very complex, capable, and sophisticated immune system. I believe our creator God made the immune system perfectly. It is strong enough to protect and empower us to live a quality life without disease. In parallel, God designed the perfect food chain before He created us. This original food chain had all the qualities and nutrients to support a healthy and strong immune system. This is why we have survived to date on our planet.
 

What we as the human race recently discovered (over the last approximately 150 years), is the fact that there are certain nutrients that are so vitally important for the immune system to function properly. For example, think of Vitamin C. We all know that this is the first of thousands of nutrients that supports a strong and healthy immune system. Without Vit C, the body degenerates in many ways; scurvy, chronic infections, low immunity, and many more. However, if we just observe this one nutrient, it becomes clear that it is one of the many that is not present in our modern/convenient quick-fix, boxed, canned, refined, and processed packed diet. We, as humans on top of the food chain, attempted to re-engineer our food chain, but in the process, because of our limitations, have rendered our “new foods” to be nutrient deficient and stripped of vitally important nutrients – but if that is not stupid enough, our modern foods are also loaded with chemical preservatives and other nasty unnatural substances. This is exactly why we are in trouble against viruses with low immunity.


Castro Could Not Kill Christianity

After Fidel Castro’s death on Nov 25th 2016, journalists, Hollywood entertainers, and heads of state described the Cuban leader as an “iconic figure,” a “tireless advocate for equity”, and “a champion of the poor.”
Never was it so obvious that the world has gone crazy than this past year, when world leaders applauded a dictator who tortured his own people. Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, called Castro a “remarkable leader.” Vladimir Putin of Russia called him “a strong and wise man.”


Famous Last Words

The last words of a dying man can often tell us a great deal about his life.
The last words of John Wesley were full of the assurance of a man who walked with God. He said, “The best of all is, God is with us!” He died March 2, 1791. The great evangelist, D. L. Moody said, “One day you will read in the newspapers that D.L Moody is dead. Don’t believe a word of it. I shall be more alive in that day than every before.” And on his deathbed he said, “Earth recedes, Heaven opens before me! If this is death, it is sweet. There is no valley here. God is calling me, and I must go.” 
 

 There is one man in history whose last words to His disciples tell a great deal about how we should live our lives. Jesus gave them one clear instruction:
 “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel…and lo, I am with your always.”
He didn’t give them an instruction manual. He didn’t give them a list of do’s and don’ts. He gave them one simple challenge and instruction – “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.”
 
He was giving them one simple task asking these disciples to commit the rest of their lives to its completion. His last command should be the focus of our lives and our first priority.
