God loves us so much, and He wants to see His image reflected in us so we will stand out in our communities and God’s children in the world will be drawn to Him. Not only is He desperate to see us living the best life possible … He is also desperate for them!

Appreciating God’s Blessings

He has given us everything we need and placed us in one of the best countries on earth; the “promised land” of our contemporary world. Many people hear about what Australia has to offer and are doing everything they can to get here. How blessed we are. Some are dying to get here.

Live Life to the Full

We have been given the oracles of good health so that we can “live life to the full;” lives exploding with energy, vitality and happiness; waking up every morning feeling absolutely great and ready for anything! These are blessings to pass on to our children and our children’s children. God does not want to see any sick amongst us. He wants us to enjoy abundant life well into old age so that we can keep on praising and thanking Him for His goodness.

Healthy Adventist living continues to be a role model to our world.

Medical Science Validates Adventist Health

Malcolm Rea, Health Director, said “When I studied in the School of Health Administration* at NSW University, one of our text books dedicated three pages to writing about the Adventist lifestyle setting it up as “an ideal.”

Medical science continues to validate Adventist health.

What are the key elements of our Health Message?

Adventist-produced programs,** NEW START, CREATION and CELEBRATIONS, capture the central message.

Ellen White sums it up with: “Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness (temprance in diet), rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power …” Ministry of Healing p127.  I am sure when Jesus said, that He wanted to give us “life to the full,” He had our complete, mental, physical, financial, psycho-social, emotional and spiritual health in mind.

In today’s busy world time management is a real struggle for many of us. Perhaps the key to the balance we struggle to achieve might be found by truly making Jesus centre of our lives. When we do this many times pressures “evaporate.”

The “lucky country:” health, joy and vitality; we really do have much to thank God for!
