Learning God’s Therapy

It was the end of January; ourLifestyle Educators had been intraining but a few weeks, yet

regular classes were put on pause asLifestyle Counselors joined them inthe chapel for a special three dayworkshop on biblical responsetherapy by Pastor Dan Gabbert.Questions were addressed such as:What is my ultimate purpose inhelping the sick? What are the stepsin healing? How do we deal withunderlying issues?

As long as there is sickness anddisease there will be a need formedical missionaries. Our LifestyleEducators and Counselors want tohelp people get well physically, butthat is only half of the healingprocess. Healing involves not onlythe physical, but the mental andspiritual as well.

The lack of spiritual experienceis a risk factor just like heart disease.The effect the mind has on the bodyis powerful. Wrong thinking leads to

wrong feeling.A story is told of a man who

once became the victim of falseaccusations, slander, andwrongdoing. It was a hard andhurtful ordeal and he harbored thesenegative experiences until one day hecouldn’t even get out of bed. Thediagnosis was nerve exhaustion.

How we respond to theexperiences of life does affect ourhealth. Pastor Gabbert emphasizedthe importance of starting with thebasics. We’ve got to help those wework with understand how torightly train their thoughts. “For ashe thinketh in his heart, so is he....”(Proverbs 23:7)

In treating sickness and diseasewe don’t want to just prescribe a“therapy,” we want to know the

“ There

are many so called remedies, butonly God’s way brings completehealing.

Biblical Response Therapy.”

Research shows that the averageAmerican consumes too much

protein and it hurts the kidneys. Ex-tra proteins are not stored by thebody. They must be gotten rid of.The end products of this metabo-lism are thought to destroy thenephrons in the kidneys. After yearsof eating the high-protein Ameri-can diet, the functional capacity ofthe kidneys can be reduced to half.

A low-protein diet is a real life-saver to someone with kidney dis-ease.*

Too much protein causes harm-ful amounts of ammonia to accu-mulate in the body. Ammonia hasthe quality of slowing the growth of

cells in cell cultures. It appears clearthat in a given tissue, ammonia willslow the growth of normal cells, buthardly affects the growth of cancercells, apparently giving cancer cellsan advantage over normal cells. Itmay be that the ammonia produc-tion from a high protein diet is thevery thing that increases the risk ofcancer from a diet high in protein.

The best dietary is a very simpleone consisting of fruits, vegetables,and whole grains. Apart from thesethree food groups, all other foodsshould be used sparingly.**

Normally when one hears the term The Three Self Movement,their mind instantly transports to China where the ThreeSelf Patriotic Movement describes their response to religion.Regardless of what one might think about the situation of re-

ligion in China (and I have had first hand experience there), the threeself movement is a great idea. So great in fact, the Lifestyle Educatorclass at Uchee Pines has adopted its principles as their own.

The three “self ” principles are self-governance, self-support andself-propagation. For sake of space, I want to elaborate on the “self-support” part. For many people, “self supporting” is understood as a sys-tem of ministry whereby the one doing the ministering raises funds, of-ten through donation letters to friends and family members, and thenministers until the funds run out, at which time the donation lettersonce again cry for more money. This is a good system, but seems to failthe truest test of “self supporting.” “Self supporting” is something I do,some service I perform (like Paul the tent maker) which enables me tocontinue in the work while at the same time providing some valuableservice to the world. So, how are we becoming self-supporting?

So far the students have learned how to make lovely and safe soaps(no sodium lauryl sulfate, no propylene glycol, no triethanolamine),non-petroleum chap stick, and safe lotions. They will also be makingvarious salves which can be a great blessing in many situations.

Another form of “self-supporting” will be the sale of books. Both

health and spiritual books will doubtless become moreand more important in the coming days. Some of thestudents like to canvas on their free time.

The most exciting “self-supporting” vehicle we haveis a fully functioning recording studio. In it we will pro-duce inspirational, health and spiritual DVDs. The de-partment has made a large investment in equipmentand hopes to soon recoup all of the initial outlay. Thisis true self-support. The move toward becoming fullyfunctioning has not been without its trials. In the stu-dio recently, there was an electrical short and in an in-stant nearly $3000 worth of equipment was worthless.The ATEM switching unit and a iMac computer had tobe replaced, but we also bought two surge protectorswith great guarantees. Shooting will have begun beforethis EYH is in your hands.

If any organization would like to have a health emphasis weekend,or week, the LE department would be more than happy to accommo-date you. If you are interested in a visit from one to a half dozen healtheducators, call 334-855-2903 or 334-855-4590 or email us atucheepines@gmail.com. We will come equipped with a heart to teach,safe soap, DVDs to sell, and your first steps to a new life. Hope to seeyou soon.

I’ve had the opportunity tospend quite a bit of time at our“city mission,” Country Life,lately. It has been a privilege tointeract with those who comethrough the doors, and share,in a small way, some of the in-formation I have been blessedwith over the years. I have alsonoticed, however, that themood of our city is changing;many are worried about the fu-ture, while there seems to bemore individuals experiencingtough times than when I haveserved there before. I knowthat, in the past, things havegone up and down, and likeli-hood is that we are passingthrough an economic cycle,but I also know that the onlyreal confidence anyone canhave is in things that are “fromabove.” Christ said to put our“treasure” in heaven throughtime spent with God, shownthrough good deeds to “theleast of these, my brethren.”After all, whatever possessionswe have in this life are tempo-rary anyway, and the realsecurity is in God and heaven.If only we can trust Him, andmake eternal “bank deposits,”because where our heart is,there our “treasure will bealso.”
