Taking Care of Our Health is Stewardship of God‘s Gift
Healthy Enough to Fulfill God’s Assignment

Our goal is not perfect health. Our goal is faithful stewardship for God’s glory and Kingdom purpose.

“Why did God leave us here?” – Herline Knights

The purpose of good health should not just be to look better.  This is a Kingdom agenda.

“Am I stewarding this body in a way that advances God’s Kingdom?” – Herline Knights

Stewardship does not begin when you become older.  Stewarding your temple begins now!

Don’t look at your neighbor’s plate.  Look at your own plate.

Move from ownership to stewardship.

Ownership asks, “What do I feel like doing?”

Stewardship asks, “What honors the one to whom I belong.”

“Never weaponize the message to people who are sick.” – Herline Knights

My life belongs to Jesus Christ. I choose truth over lies, faith over fear, obedience over compromise, and wisdom over neglect.
