This short series of articles written by A.T Jones in 1898, covers a few of the basics of health reform: breathing, eating, and cooking. Faith is more than just a matter of the imagination; it finds expression in a desire, and positive energy, to glorify God in all the actions and decisions of life.
In spite of the progress of mankind in outward inventions, we live in a time of great disregard of the natural laws of health. Faith in God leads to a respect for His laws: both spiritual and natural. 94p
Temperance is self-control. Evangelistic temperance—Christian temperance—is self-control in all things,—of body, soul, and spirit. For he which “strives for the mastery is temperate [controls himself] in all things.” 1 Corinthians 9:25.
This is the only true temperance. And this is in order that we may glorify God in both body and spirit,—glorify Him, and Him alone, in all things, and so meet the object of our creation and of our redemption.
The Lord has created and redeemed the body as really as He has the soul. He cares for the body as really and as fully as He does for the soul. And He wants us to care for the body as really and as fully as we care for the soul.
