Deuteronomy 28:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
A health-care system such as we currently have is unsustainable, and we will begin to observe that the health message given in the Bible and in the writings of God’s servant, Ellen G.

It’s very sad to see our congressmen, many of whom may very well be well-intentioned, suggesting this or that idea, when, if we were to individually follow some of the basic instructions given in God’s word, we would be able to reduce both our national and personal healthcare costs by many hundreds of billions of dollars per year. As a matter of fact, because we focus more on the treatment of symptoms rather than causes, we are literally throwing money down the drain, chasing after an elusive dream.

John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
