The Biblical Basis for Community Health

Starting with the premise that God wants us to be healthy, this talk will outline the resources God makes available to us for living healthy lives. This includes (1) The biblical understanding of nature as orderly, with all created things functioning according to the natural laws God has built into them. (2) How the original man and woman rejected the order God had established in natural and human life. They brought on themselves and subsequent human history the consequences of disease, degeneration, and death. Ill health is our fault, not God’s fault. (3) Obedience to God’s laws favors health. This includes laws found in the Bible. (4) It also includes laws discovered by science for science studies what God has made. (5) Practical examples to demonstrate this.
