Health & Spirituality

It is not possible for us to glorify God while living in violation of the laws of life.-H. R.  HL 39

Anything that lessens the physical power enfeebles the mind and makes it less clear to discriminate between good and evil, between right and wrong.-S. T., on E., p. 35.  HL 38

If our physical habits are not right, our mental and moral powers cannot be strong; for great sympathy exists between the physical and the moral. . . . Habits which lower the standard of physical health enfeeble the mental and moral strength.-T., V. III, pp. 50, 51.  HL 39

 If you pursue a wrong course, and indulge in wrong habits of eating, and thereby weaken the intellectual powers, you will not place that high estimate upon salvation and eternal life which will inspire you to conform your life to the life of Christ; you will not make those earnest, self-sacrificing efforts for entire conformity to the will of God which his word requires, and which are necessary to give you a moral fitness for the finishing touch of immortality.-T., V. II, p. 66.  HL 39 - 40

 True sanctification is not merely a theory, an emotion, or a form of words, but a living, active principle, entering into the every-day life. It requires that our habits of eating, drinking, and dressing be such as to secure the preservation of physical, mental, and moral health, that we may present to the Lord our bodies, not an offering corrupted by wrong habits, but a "living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God."-R. and H., 1881, No. 4.  HL 42
