How can the church help those suffering from mental illness? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/a-very-expensive-house-5925 2009-09-25T09:52:50-05:00 In a sense, you drag God into everything you do with your body. It's not your body to do what you please with, to drink what you want, eat what you want, watch what you want, listen to what you want. You don't eat what you want, do what feels good with it, put poison into it, and use it for things God hates. This house was bought at a very expensive price; in fact, the highest price ever paid - the life of the sinless Son of God. And now you've invited Him to move into this house He paid for with His life. Treat your body like what it really is. It's the property of God! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3%20John%201:2&version=NIV 2009-09-20T19:03:37-05:00 This encouraging greetings wishes good health for Gaius, a close friend of the author and the recipient of this letter. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/bumpy-landings-5841 2009-09-10T13:22:16-05:00 Things aren't out of control just because you're experiencing some bumpy landings.

And we get careless when we forget who we are - God's temple, God's people, God's son or daughter. He says, "Don't touch any unclean thing." Remember who you are. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Prov.3.1-Prov.3.35&version=NIV 2009-07-17T08:58:50-05:00 This passage describes the many benefits of godly wisdom. While some of these benefits are spiritual, many are physical, including health. This is a good reminder that followers of God are called to employ wisdom in all aspects of their life, and can expect that God will provide for them in very practical ways. http://rbc.org/utmost/index.php?day=04&month=12 2007-12-04T08:46:40-05:00 Finding a balance in every area of our life is vital to our growth.

Here, two blind men cut off from their society, and from the sight of the glory of God’s creation, saw an opportunity. What they could not physically see, they saw by a vision that was stronger than what mere eyes could ever have beheld.
