A thought based upon a couple of scriptures and a quote from the Spirit of Prophecy. There are many teachers and preachers who maintain their position of authority as instructors in the word of God, while making themselves unfit for the position because they fail to heed the message found in the Biblical teaching of the health message. Whether in willful ignorance or in direct conflict with the word of God, many refuse to take their position as the head and not the tail by following the counsel to live a life of a health reformer.This may seam hard and cutting but often truth makes it presence felt in just such a manner in order to arrest our attention. This is a solemn and important thought worthy of further study and the type of prayer found in 2 Chronicle 7:14.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
James : 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Jeremiah 29:19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them]; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
Failure to Practice Health Reform Disqualifies For the Ministry :
Why do some of our ministering brethren manifest so little interest in health reform? It is because instruction on temperance in all things is opposed to their practice of self-indulgence. In some places this has been the great stumbling block in the way of our bringing the people to investigate and practice and teach health reform. No man should be set apart as a teacher of the people while his own teaching or example contradicts the testimony God has given His servants to bear in regard to diet, for this will bring confusion. His disregard of health reform unfits him to stand as the Lord’s messenger. {CD 453.4}
The light that the Lord has given on this subject in His word is plain, and men will be tested and tried in many ways to see if they will heed it. Every church, every family, needs to be instructed in regard to Christian temperance. All should know how to eat and drink in order to preserve health. We are amid the closing scenes of this world’s history; and there should be harmonious action in the ranks of Sabbathkeepers. Those who stand aloof from the great work of instructing the people upon this question, do not follow where the Great Physician leads the way. “If any man will come after Me,” Christ said, “let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24. {CD 454.1}
