Health Care and the Bible. A Framework for Wellness.

March 22, 2011 By Dale Fletcher Leave a Comment

Written by Dr. G. Scott Morris, founder of the Church Health Center in Memphis, Health Care You Can Live With puts a human face on the hot topic of health care.  Making the argument that healing—both physical and spiritual—is a key aspect of the Christian faith, Dr. Morris provides a biblical framework for wellness and encourages us through real-life stories of those who found a better life within the overarching love of God.

It’s an excellent read! I began reading the book last night and almost completed it in one sitting. I now plan to read it over a second time. I will share in brief, individual posts the things that ‘jump out at me’ and reinforce what I believe and have come to understand over the years about the connection between health and the Christian faith. Typically, I’ll include short excerpts from the book and occasionally add my own comments. Below is my first excerpt.

“Jesus’ life was about healing the whole person. – the body and spirit – and the church is Jesus in the world.  Jesus’ message is our message. Jesus’ ministry is our ministry.”

“The church can choose to get involved by reclaiming the biblical mandate to bring healing. Individual congregations can choose to get involved by envisioning their role in the health of members and the community around them.  Individual Christians can choose to get involved in changing health care by taking charge of their own health care. And it has nothing to do with what happens in Washington or who is President.”

Questions to Reflect On:

Is your church choosing to get involved in the health of your members and your community?

To what extent have you chosen to be involved in your personal health care?
