WAA Podcast Episode 45: A Vision For Better Health (49:10)

Diptheria was a deadly disease that threatened the lives of many
Americans in the 19th century

Living in the 19th century in America was like living in a third world country. Most Americans had no idea what a healthy lifestyle consisted of. As a result, many suffered from deadly diseases and because of the lack of proper medical attention many men, women, and children died. Very few medical professionals practiced natural medicine to treat their patients and those that did were not very well known nor were their methods widely accepted.

Christians were just as ignorant as the average American when it came to living a healthy life. There was very little difference in health habits between Christians and the world. Even early Adventists did not fully understand what a healthy life meant and it wasn’t until Ellen White received a divinely inspired vision that Adventists began to take a serious look at their health. This eventually helped spark a health reform movement that would literally breathe life into a sick, disease ridden, and dying nation (click on title to listen to podcast).

This week Jesse Sias talks about the vision that would eventually make Adventists the leading Christian denomination in health reform. Thank God for the light He shed on health and for alleviating some of the pain and suffering in our dying world.
