The Blood As a Cleansing Agent

[This brief story is taken from Nelson’s Complete Book of Stories, Illustrations, & Quotations, 2000]

William Cooper’s hymn speaks of “a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins, where sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains.” The apostle John said that the blood of Jesus Christ “cleanses us from all sin.” The multitude in Revelation 7 had washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.

But how is blood a cleaning agent? To us, blood is a soiling or staining agent, something we try to Continue reading “The Blood As a Cleansing Agent” →

Why Fasting is Needed – Part One

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

First we need to understand that our cells need to be fed and cleaned.

In particular we need to examine how our cells are fed and what are the major hindrances to them not getting fed.

This survey of fasting in the Bible is meant only to demonstrate the reasons and occasions it was practiced. There is little indication in the Bible that fasting has Continue reading “Survey of Fasting in the Bible” →

Healthy Blood Through Cleanliness – The Skin

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

The Largest Organ

The skin is the largest organ of the body and has the capacity to absorb that which it touches. That means you do not have to eat something to ingest it. Whatever comes in contact with your skin, may have instant access to your blood stream.

According to Dr. Jordan Rubin the skin is “a vital and integral part of the immune system. Even traces of chemicals can interfere with Continue reading “Healthy Blood Through Cleanliness – The Skin” →

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

When you hear the word leprosy, what do you immediately picture in your mind? A person with white skin and missing flesh as depicted in the movie The Kingdom of Heaven? Or perhaps you think of the social stigma associated with the disease as depicted in the classic movie Ben Hurr.
