Should We Keep Holy the Sabbath?

By Michael Tummillo Regarding my own House Church gatherings, I get asked from time to time, "Does your House Church meet on Sunday?" Actually, no. In fact, 99% of the time, the house church I belong to does NOT meet on Sunday. However, considering that we ARE the Church - the ekklesia, the "called out ones" - we meet ALL the time. We might take in a movie with some friends, go to dinner, watch a ball game. Whatever we do, we ARE the Church. We will ALWAYS be the Church so, who knows where we might find ourselves? We just might even accidentally get together with Christian brothers and sisters on a Sunday, too. Today - on Sunday afternoon - I'm with my wife and, very shortly, I will join her staining wood in our new addition. We will be "being the Church" again just as we were yesterday in Dallas at a conference that lasted from 10am to 6pm. A few of us had Mexican food afterward and were The Church there as well as in the van all the way home for two hours. Ah, such freedom in Christ we have! Are we "forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Heb 10:25)? Hardly. We are two or more with Jesus in our midst, carrying within us the very Spirit that raised Him from the dead. Frankly, all by myself, I'm never NOT the ekklessia. The Kingdom is not a place; it's the dominion of a person. That person dwells within me. And you. Paul asked the Galatians, "But now after you have known Godhow is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?" (Gal. 4:9). What was the evidence of their "turning again"? Paul accused them of "observ[ing] days and months and seasons and years" (Gal. 4:10). Likewise, circumcision was another source of contention. Paul wrote, "You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you are fallen from grace" (Gal. 5:4). In other words, they were trying to be justified by keeping the laws as is man's nature. Paul addressed this with the Roman Christians as well and dealt with such issues as eating meat versus vegetarian diets. Regarding the Sabbath question, he wrote, "One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it" (Rom. 14:56). Under the new covenant, Believers are now free to observe, or not observe, the Sabbath according to their consciences. We are NOT free to judge each other in this regard (verse 10). "THIS is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it" (Ps 118:24). We must bear in mind that such legalism does not line up with the teachings of Christ or any of the Gospel writers. You have read that "There is therefore now no condemnation from those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). You have read also that, "all things are permissible but not all things are beneficial" (I Cor 6:12;10:23)For those who think these verses imply that it's Ok to go on sinning because of God's grace, you've also read "God is not mocked. A man will reap as he sows." (Gal 6:7). Though nothing can separate us from the love of God (Rom 8:35-39), we WILL reap as we sow. Frankly, even if breaking the Sabbath WERE a sin, it would be a sin no greater than lying, gossip, lusting, fear, doubt, or a lack of faith. In man's attempts to compare ourselves with ourselves (2 Cor 10:12), Sabbath-keeping is used as a unit of measurement; a deceptive standard of a person's goodness and a means for classifying the heathen among us. We forget that "there is none good but God" (Ps 14:1;53:1) and that "our righteousness is filthy rags" (Is 64;6). So, has God erased the command about keeping the Sabbath? Yes, He has. With His new and better covenant (Heb 8:6), once ratified by the shedding of the Blood of Jesus, ALL the debts have been paid. All our feeblest attempts at holiness, righteousness, goodness and rule-keeping have been fulfilled as we are now seen as "the righteousness of God in Christ" (I Cor 1:30). In many ways God has changed His commands and laws. Our failure to grasp the concept that God has, in many respects, revised His commands, has created confusion as we interpret the Scriptures. Too frequently, we attempt to channel the things of God through our carnal, Adamic nature, placing all the emphasis on our own ability to keep rules, make the grade, or do better than the next guy. How can humans, so engrained in a world that rewards the best - from gold star book reports to Olympic Gold Medals - easily grasp the concept that our best will NEVER be good enough and that somebody ELSE had to do all the work because we were simply too incapable, even with the most noble of efforts? LET THEM EAT MEAT! Does God change His laws? Certainly! A clear illustration can be found in regard to the eating of meat. God gave Adam and Eve a vegetarian diet (Gen. 2:16-17). Prior to the fall, we do not read of Adam and Eve eating meat. After the Fall, they were commanded to sacrifice animals. Mmmmmmm...bar-b-que! You think they nibbled on some of that delicious meat, its splendid aroma filling the air? I would have! Later, under the law of Moses, the one offering the animal sacrifices WAS allowed to partake of certain of sacrifices, such as the peace offering (Lev. 7:1118). After the flood, people were meat-eaters. God declared, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs" (Gen. 9:3). His only restriction was that the blood not be consumed with the meat (Gen. 9:4). I guess everything had to be cooked well-done? Oh, no! Another law to keep! So much for having that steak medium rare. Is prime rib now out of the question! I'm kidding, of course but share this example to show a revision that God instituted in one of His initial laws. When things changed, God did a new thing. Pretty simple. The Jews were at Sinai were given dietary restrictions by God (Lev. 11) when He distinguished between clean and unclean animals (sorry, shrimp lovers). The point is not that God declared some animals clean and others unclean - Noah had taken both clean and unclean animals onto the ark in Genesis 7:2. The point is that God restricted the eating habits of the Jews - and ONLY the Jews - to a specific diet at that moment and with reasons. The diet of ALL mankind was unrestricted prior to that time, according to Genesis 9:34. After the cross, all such Jewish dietary regulations were abolished. This is clearly revealed in Peters vision (Acts 10:916, 28; 11:510) and in Pauls epistles (Rom. 14:23; Col. 2:16; 1 Tim. 4:35). Likewise, the Sabbath is no longer binding on Christians (Col. 2:16). Christ has set us free from the law of sin and death. HOLY DAYS GONE BYE BYE. Yes, we are released from keeping holy the Sabbath. His blood on the cross abolished all the Mosaic ordinances, including the Sabbath commandment. Ever notice that only nine of the Ten Commandments are repeated in the New Testament? That's because the fourth commandment was part of the Jewish law which Paul referred to as "the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us" (Col. 2:14). The moral standards in the other nine commandments regarding worshiping other gods and idols, taking Gods name in vain, dishonoring parents, murdering, committing adultery, stealing, lying, and coveting remain in effect because they reflect the character of God and, as such, are timeless. The expression of these moral standards in the form of the Ten Commandments, however, was not timeless. Paul clearly stated that Christ took this "handwriting of requirements" and "nailed it to the cross" (Col. 2:14). The result could not be clearer. In Colossians 2:16, Paul writes, ""Therefore, let no one judge you in food or in drink." That statement is based on the fact that the shed blood of Jesus canceled the debt, those Old Testament regulations that had burdened the Jews for centuries. Those regulations were instantly abolished. Pork is now as lawful as beef, chicken, or fish. Even meats offered to idols were suddenly not prohibited, unless eating such food might cause a weaker brothers conscience to stumble (1 Cor. 8:49). In verse 16, Paul added that no one can judge you "regarding a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths." Why? Because Jesus Christ abolished those observances, which were mere shadows, whereas Jesus Himself is the substance; the body that creates the shadow. This verse 16 reference to the yearly festivals like Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles (Deut. 16:16), the monthly festival of the new moon (Num. 10:10; Ps. 81:3) and the weekly observance of the Sabbath used the same terminology found elsewhere in the Old Testament (Isa. 1:1314; Ezek. 45:17; Hos. 2:11) therefore, it was familiar to Pauls Jewish readers. The Sabbath rest also represents a picture of Gods finished, completed work, initially at Creation and later with salvation by faith in Christs substitutionary death, burial, and resurrection. The writer of Hebrews used the Sabbath analogy to note that when one believes, he enters into the reality of Gods rest, pictured by the Sabbath. As a result, the believer "has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His" (Heb. 4:10). Those who keep the Sabbath do so with a belief that law can be divided into moral and ceremonial aspects. They believe Sabbath observance is part of the moral aspect and remains in effect, but the detailed instructions are part of the ceremonial aspects that have been done away with in Christ. The law, however, cannot be so easily divided. Deuteronomy 27:26, for example, cited by both Paul (Gal. 3:10; cf. 5:3) and James (James 2:10), shows that one's attempts at "keeping the law" is a two-edged sword; to fail in one point makes one guilty of breaking ALL. The New Testament, furthermore, provides no clear distinction between moral and ceremonial aspects of the Mosaic law and frequently speaks of the entire law (for example, Gal 3:23-24; 4:4-5). IF WE TRULY KEPT THE SABBATH... What would Sabbath keeping look like if we were to practice it today? Let's take such thinking all the way out to its logical conclusion, shall we? According to Exodus 16:29, God required strict home-abiding on the Sabbath for all Israelites. Imagine the airlines, buses, trains, and roadways being empty and the impact on the economy. I've read that Orthodox Jews in some parts of Jerusalem still stone cars that are driven through their neighborhoods on Saturday. Hmmm. Are they violating Sabbath to defend Sabbath? Numbers 15:32,35 forbids the gathering of sticks but NOT the stones for stoning those who gather sticks...OK, I guess that's kosher. Nehemiah took stern action against buying and selling on the Sabbath (Neh. 10:31; 13:1522). So, our beloved shopping malls would need to remain closed. So would restaurants and individuals who fall under the ban on baking and boiling food (Exod. 16:23). If seeking and finding ones "own pleasure" and doing ones "own ways" were also prohibited on the Sabbath (Isa. 58:13), so much for heading to the lake after church. Death would be the lot of such day-trippers, including whoever performed any yardwork or went into the office (Exod. 31:1415; 35:2). When Jesus healed a lame man on the Sabbath, rather than rejoicing with that man, the Pharisees condemned Him to which He replied. "I am the Lord (Kyrios, or "owner") of the Sabbath." In other words, "I am the Creator of this day, time itself." What COULD we do on the Sabbath if we were still under such restrictions? Jesus - who was living under the Mosaic law Himself - attended synagogue, worshiped God, taught and applied the Scriptures, performed deeds of mercy and encouraged others to do the same, and He no doubt rested from some of His usual labor. But when moved by compassion to help others, even He stepped out. Now, under the New Covenant, all those legalistic shackles have come off, thank God! If there IS a principle that one day should belong totally to God, then it should be used to arrest us from our normal pursuits and allow us to devote more attention to Gods Word and work. Who do you know who does that, even on the so-called "Day of rest"? Christians are not obligated to observe the Sabbath. We are NOT committing apostasy if we exercise the freedom we have in Christ NOT to do so. Frankly, for a lover and follower of Jesus, serving God and doing everything to His glory, is nothing less than a 24/7 lifestyle. From the movies we watch to the things we wear and listen to, whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, let's do it all to the glory of God (I Cor 10:31). Finally, lest anyone forget, the Sabbath was the day we now know as Saturday. In Italian, Saturday is Sabato. In Spanish, it's Sabado. Those words look an awful lot like the word "Sabbath" to me. Point being, for those who think our Sunday is anything like the Hebrew Sabbath, that's wrong, too. You want to meet on Sunday? Go right ahead...and with God's blessing. For those who meet, let's say, at lunch time on a Tuesday at 1:00 because you have a shift on Sunday, God's blessing is on you, too!

Get the Essence of Nature in Essential Oil

By Bryan Josling Essential oil is an extract of aromatic plants, flowers, roots, stems and herbs. They are used in flavoring, perfumes, cosmetics, medicine and various house hold products. Essential oil in aromatherapy is used for healing. It is true that the term oil attached to the essential oil, may let the person give a sticky feeling. But, in reality they are not sticky rather they are clear and are available in real flavor of plant or herbs. Usually, it has been founded that essential oil is mixed with the term perfume and fragrance oil. But essential oil is not at all artificial fragrance added oil rather they embraces, the real essence of the plants or herbs, from which it is extracted. Essential oil helps in achieving psychological and physical healthiness. They are basically absorbed by the body either through inhaling or by means of applying on the body in an appropriate manner. Following are the ways of inhaling and absorbing: The easiest way to inhale essential oil is pouring few drops of oil, on tissue paper and start inhaling. It is suggested that the while inhaling, if there is any sensitivity, then the person should stop using it. It can also be taken by means of steam, that is, pouring few drops in the boiled water and inhaling the stream, but it should not be taken for long, as it can result in irritation. But, it is considered as best means to cure cold and influenza. Another way is through massaging on different parts of body. Many times, it is seen that essential oils are also used as repellant against the insects. In the sense, that, they are poured on the cotton or tissue papers and are placed at the door step of the house or window to safeguard the house from insects etc. Other than this application of essential oil, it is also used in body lotions, toners, soaps, gels and other naturally prepared products. Essential oil helps in developing a positive view towards life. Along that it also brings the calmness and enthusiasm in mind. It basically helps in healing and curing the pains in the body. It relaxes the body in such a manner that the person find himself with enthusiasm and excitement. Lastly, while using essential oil the person should keep in his mind that it should not be used in the pure undiluted form. Essential oil is regarded as the main ingredient and most valuable product in aromatherapy and in fragrance industries. Bryan Josling is working with the Horticultural Research Station in Adelaide. He has also been involved with research on plants.

Accupressure

By Niti Shahi Below our bodys skin surface their lies a complex structure of nerves, veins and aster ices, each of them performing different functions. The onset of pain or any other common problem like backaches, asthma, heart attach, arthritis is the result of blockage of one of these veins only. The location of the actual site of the pain or problem is hard to discover by the normal individual. There are pressure points of our each and every part of the body. By pressing these points we can heal many ailments and this healing of points is known as Acupressure. Fed up by the side effects of allopathic drugs, the people of India are new turning there attention towards acupressure therapies mainly nature cure methods that offer easy, home treatments without expensive drugs that leave side effects. This ancient science of healing traveled in the days of Buddhism to Sri Lanka and then to China but it originated in India. Acupressure therapy is one of the simplest, safest and effective methods of stimulating the site of pain or other disorders. The Chinese used needles to stimulate these sites and named this healing as acupuncture while the Indians used bare fingers and hence name it Acupressure. It has been proved helpful in relieving many types of arthritis, back pain, neck pain, and many other every day ailments, it can be used in combination with other treatments for a variety of general illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, chest pain, menstrual cramps and abdominal disorders. The main aspect of the treatment lies in locating the pressure point, which offers connectivity to an area of pain or ailment. The patients cry of pain is the indication that the right site has been located. It offers relief without an intake of medicine, pills, hot and cold application etc. Mainly acupressurist believe that our palms and feet control the working of each and every part of the body. Each body part has its pressure point on the palms and feet. According to acupressurists the human body has fourteen imaging meridians that transfer the energy to the whole body. These meridians start from the fingertips and are connected to the brain and then they are connected to the organs associated with each meridian. Any pain in the body or any other disorder is the result of blockage in the meridians associated with the particular organs or parts. There are different types of acupressure and each type may be involving different methods. Most popular are: Shiatsu A Japanese technique. In it whole body is used to apply strong pressure.

Free Yourself of Bondage

By Isabelle Epstein "To be free of bondage, we have to break down conditioned responses; we have to go beyond boundaries and experience the boundless" - Deepak Chopra How are you today?
Did you take the time to exercise today?
Did you drink enough natural clean water, herbal teas, and fresh vegetable juices?
Did you plan your meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner?
Did you plan a little snack, like a fruit, between your meals? To enjoy success with our weight management, we need to free ourselves from bondage. Our worst enemies, those that keep us in bondage, are our eating habits and our lack of motivation to change these habits, as well as lack of exercise. One must not go from one extreme to another.
Healthy eating does not mean starvation or frustration.
If you deprive yourself of your favorite foods, 100% of the time, you will feel deprived and frustrated. You do not have to sacrifice all your pleasures. You must reward yourself once or twice a week for your healthy nutrition. Nutrition satisfies our taste buds, our body and our soul. Do you remember the NO-NO Food? You can indulge yourself once in a while with this kind of food, such as ice cream, cakes, refined foods, fatty foods, fatty meat, soft drinks high in sugar, alcoholic drinks.... I do not like to focus on what we should not eat. I found the more you focus on what you shouldnt eat the more you crave it. Better focus on what we should eat. Could I convince you to eat a salad a day? You will never be bored. There are so many possible combinations; you can easily have a different salad everyday of the month. A salad can both nourish your body and please your taste buds. It can be cold; it can be cold and warm. It is a garden in a plate, so colorful, so many flavors in a plate. You can just have a selection of your favorite lettuce leaves. You can add raw vegetables, some sprouts for the garnish, or a fruit. You can add a grilled breast of chicken, a broiled filet of salmon, or some cooked prawns to transform your salad into a meal. You could add edible flowers for a special effect, like flowers of chives or flowers of runner beans. You can sprinkle some flat parsley leaves, some nuts, or some almonds. There is salad for every taste and every occasion. We can eat a salad everyday. Starting tomorrow, I suggest a salad a day. Isabelle Epstein,

Ten Healthy Weight Loss Tips

By Dulce Azogue People who are planning to go on a diet think they should not eat for 2meals a day only to pig out on steak, chocolate, and chips later in the day. Many people have fallen for it, but you're not alone. Millions of Americans are facing a tremendous weight problem despite fitness programs and equipment made available each year. So if you are one of the hapless millions who have tried everything, here are ten simple and practical weight loss tips to help you lose weight and keep it off. 1. Eat on smaller plates. People finish what they eat - whether it's pop corn in a supersized bowl or large bowl of ice cream, leading to excessive pounds that are only hard to get rid of later. But prevention is better than cure, they say, so avoid too much calories by eating on smaller plates or bowls, and utensils. Research shows that people are not aware of how much food they eat when they use large plates. But using smaller plates, bowls or utensils can make you full while eating less. 2. Learn portion control. People get fat because they don't measure how much food they eat, period. I don't suggest that you use scales and rulers, but you can use your hand and other visual representations to measure how much is enough, since "moderate" means differently to every one. For example, a deck of cards is equivalent to a 3-ounce serving. A ping pong ball is equivalent to 2 tablespoons of salad dressing. And a cup of pasta or rice is equivalent to a baseball. 3. Eat whole grains and high-fiber cereals. Replace chips and cookies with high-fiber cereals. You don't have to deprive yourself of nutrients when going on a diet; you can gain lots of nutrients while trying to lose weight. Research shows that dieters who ate cereals high in fiber and whole grains were able to lose weight effectively while improving the quality of their diet. 4. Recognize hunger triggers. Is it real hunger, or is it just boredom? Recognize the real hunger trigger first
before you go look for food. If it's just boredom, do something else. If you're
stressed, talk to a friend or get a massage. 5. Mind your beverage. Another culprit to excessive pounds is that beverage that goes along with a valuemeal. For Americans, they make up 50% of daily excessive calories. Cut back on soft drinks, coffee and fruit drinks and replace them with unsweetened tea and coffee. 6. Eat more protein. Eating foods high in protein can make you feel full longer than when you eat a meal with no protein-rich food. So include an egg, meat, or any other source of protein to make you less hungery later. 7. Surround yourself with low-calorie foods. Your tendency to snack on chips and chocolates increase when they are present in your fridge. Next time, buy fruits and high-fiber cereals when you go shopping and keep them in your kitchen. 8. Eat breakfast. It's not called the most important meal of the day for nothing. And for dieters, it
has an additional benefit - it prevents you from binge eating later. 9. Drink lots of water. When you are dining out, your diet has the chance to be ruined because of all the good food in front of you. The trick is to drink a big glass of water first before eating that main meal. It curbs your appetite and makes you want to eat less because you're already "full." 10. Eat everything in moderation. As a general rule, eat everything in moderation! As tip #2 states, "moderate" means differently to every one, so learn to measure your food intake accurately. Use your hand in measuring the food to eat. And eat only when you're truly hungry.Losing weight is a big battle that seems difficult to overcome. But the bigger challenge not lies in how to lose weight, but how you can keep it off forever. So start learning the techniques above, and make them part of your habits.

Tasty Fat Burner Helps Hypothyroid People

By Monica Villarreal If you love the warm, spicy taste of cinnamon in your coffee or in your holiday desserts, you may be happy to know that this potent spice is not just delicious. Cinnamon is also a natural fat burner! The spice has been used for centuries for a wide variety of medicinal purposes, many of them related to metabolic function. Cinnamon has gained much recent attention for its ability to lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar. The finding, which occurred somewhat by accident at the USDA research center in Maryland, came from a study of the effect of various foods on blood glucose levels. One of the foods in the study, which had cinnamon, had the surprising effect of lowering blood sugar rather than raising it as expected. They went on to test the specific effects of cinnamon on insulin levels by conducting a study that measured the effects of small daily doses (from to 2 teaspoons) of cinnamon on insulin levels in diabetics who were not yet taking insulin by prescription. The study found that both insulin and cholesterol levels were lowered in those subjects who were given daily doses of cinnamon over a forty-day period. The ability of cinnamon to lower blood glucose levels and regulate insulin levels is good news for people who have low thyroid function and need to lose weight as a result of a sluggish metabolism.
Because insulin is related to fat metabolism, people with conditions like hypothyroidism, which can interfere with metabolic function, can benefit from adding cinnamon to their diet to help regulate blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are kept in check, weight loss is easier as well, particularly with respect to fat around the belly. The abdominal area is very sensitive to high insulin levels and, because there are more fat cells around the abdomen, unregulated blood sugar is highly correlated with expanding waistlines. Since fat cells in the abdominal area are so close to the organs of the digestive system, it is especially easy for them to store glucose, so anything that helps to lower glucose levels, such as increasing the consumption of cinnamon, is a plus for those with a sluggish metabolism.
