You may have heard that your skin is the largest organ in your body. Well, it’s true! Your skin absorbs all of the chemicals that you throw at it.

Are You Looking For A Magic Bullet?
How has mankind survived so long without modern medicine? Because God designed a way for us to live in the world he created. That is what we teach at Reformed Health.
How to Legally Escape the Health Insurance Trap
The healthcare industry in many cases has become nothing more than a legal drug dispensary.

But over the last few days I have actually earned $26 buying many of the organic products I already use (without coupons). Including:
- Organic Tomatoes

And I have my dear daughter in law, Katrina, to thank (she has a food blog with some fun recipes you can check out here). I was recently visiting Katrina to help out with the grand kids for a week and she told me about the fun app Ibotta. If you are not using it, you are throwing money down the drain.

12 of the Greatest Metaphors in the Bible
Man does not create metaphors — he merely discovers them. And there may be millions of metaphors yet undiscovered in this vast universe in which we live. Many of the greatest metaphors, however, have been revealed through special revelation. I will share twelve. Be sure to click each link to learn more about the reality and the representation.

One of the Great Metaphors: The Walk of Life
As important as walking is in the development and day to day existence of humans, it is no wonder that walking is also a metaphor for the spiritual life of Christians. The Bible tells us again and again to walk a certain way.
One of the Great Metaphors: The Blood of Life
Blood should have been the first item in this list of metaphors, for a person cannot live one minute without blood. It is the foundational building block for life. The Scripture agrees. Leviticus 17:11 says, “The life of the flesh is in the blood.” But once again we find that blood represents something greater than physical life.
One of the Great Metaphors: The Rest of Life
This is the tenth in a series of the 12 greatest metaphors for life.
- The breath of life: a person can live three minutes without air.
- The shelter of life: in harsh climes a person can live 3 hours without shelter.
- The water of life: a normal person can live three days without water.
- The bread of life: the average person can live about three weeks without food.
- The light of life: if the sun were to stop giving its light, global temperatures would drop, plants would die, trees would vanish, and all life would cease to exist.
- The tree of life: trees provide life-giving nourishment, beauty, and shade.
- The true vine of life: grapes nourish the body and wine brings joy to the heart.
- The oil of life: the olive tree was once a primary source of oil for food and light.
- The spice of life: spice provides flavor for bland food, healing for sick bodies, and fragrance for perfumes.
- The rest of life: after three days of no sleep, the average person begins to hallucinate. Sleep is such a fundamental part of life that we just cannot live without it. We need downtime to regenerate, recuperate, and revitalize the human flesh God has given us. Even Jesus, very God, had to rest when He walked among us.
The Rest of Life.
When a baby is born, it needs 16-18 hours of sleep to grow and develop. As the child ages, the amount of sleep it needs diminishes, but the need for sleep never goes away completely.
Human beings must have regular intervals of rest. This is by God’s design. We are not eternal, nor self-rejuvenating. We are not the Energizer Bunny: we don’t keep going and going (without rest). Adults need around eight hours of sleep each night to thrive. In addition, we need one day of rest in seven. This is what God has designed from the beginning. It is a gift from God that refreshes and restores the body. Without this rest, we will not Continue reading “One of the Great Metaphors: The Rest of Life”

One of the Great Metaphors: the Spice of Life
Spices by nature add a special quality to whatever mundane thing they touch or mingle with. Can you imagine an apple streusel pie or pumpkin bread without cinnamon? Or chocolate chip cookies without a dash of vanilla. Or a mojito without a sprig of mint. Spice takes something that is already good and improves it, makes it better.
One of the Great Metaphors: The Oil of Life
In recent years, oil has received a bad reputation as unhealthy. Fat free diets were once a fad that I bought into. This wrong thinking caused me great physical harm as oil is necessary for the brain function and healthy hormone levels. In light of the great metaphor of the olive tree — we should see that oil (fat) is a necessary part of our diet.
