The Amazing Benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet part IV

Image
         Would you be excited if you learned that there is a diet that has been shown to help people to drastically improve, and even reverse, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and which also makes weight loss tremendously easier? Some medical professionals have come to see that the Whole Foods Plant Based diet can do incredible things for many of their patients: things that conventional medicine struggles to accomplish.  Today I will be sharing some free, online resources that give my readers scientific information on the benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-Based diet for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. I will also be sharing testimonials of people who have overcome obesity on this diet.       What I am sharing isn't a comprehensive ( comprehensive definition ) list of resources on these topics, but I hope that what I am sharing will be food for thought (that sounds like a pun!). As a friendly reminder, I am not a medical professional and what I am sharing is not a substitute fo

Some Wonderful Bible Promises

Image
  Hello everyone, Today, I will be sharing some Bible promises that we can use in our prayers. When we pray for things, God's answers to us could be yes, no or wait. God knows what is best for us, and He has all of our best interests at heart. There are some things that we can pray for that we can know with 100% confidence that God will give us. When we pray for forgiveness, for victory over sin, for wisdom and for strength to do God's will, we can know that God will grant us our requests.  Today I will be sharing some Bible promises on forgiveness, victory over sin, wisdom, and strength to do God's will. I encourage each and every one of you to prayerfully spend time with God and to claim His promises. What God says He will do for us, He will do. Forgiveness/ Victory Over Sin 1.   1 John 1:9 2.  John 8:10-11 3.   Micah 7:18-19 4.  Ezekiel 36:23-27 5.  Psalm 103:8-12 6.  Hosea 6:1-3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seven Scripture Songs that Have Ministered to My Heart

Image
  Hello everyone, Today, I was originally planning to share part IV (4) of "The Amazing Benefits of the Whole Foods Plant Based Diet" series. However, I realized that I actually will need 1-2 more weeks before I will be ready to share this. I look forward to posting part IV of the series when I have completed it. :) This being said, today I will be sharing with you some of my favorite scripture songs (all from my favorite scripture song author,  Esther Mui . I am so grateful for her ministry through music.) During my first year of college, especially, I found scripture songs to be very helpful. During breaks from study, I would often listen to scripture songs. These beautiful melodies calmed my mind while they filled my memory with wonderful words from God. Today, I will be sharing seven of the many Scripture songs that I appreciate along with my personal reflections after each of them. I'll be speaking in first person because I'm reflecting on what these songs mean t

He Can Keep Us From Falling

Image
 Recently, I have been sobered by the reality that it is possible to fall away from Christ even after loving and serving Him previously. The genuine experiences that we had in a loving, trusting relationship with Jesus yesterday are not going to ensure that we will walk with Him today. I have been shocked, saddened and amazed by seeing people who used to work for the Lord turn their backs on Him and become VERY different people. This is true. This has really happened...and it could happen to you and me too, but it does not have to!!  God does not lie, and He has told us that He is able to keep us from falling. " Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present  you  faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  To the only wise God our Saviour,  be  glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."  Jude 24-25   I believe God's promises, and I believe that His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. ( Psalm 1

Image
Hello everyone, Today I will be sharing part III of the series I am doing on the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet. Up until now I have not shared any recipes for foods that can be eaten in this diet. I am happy to let my readers know that this diet can be very tasty and delightful. In this part of the series, I will be letting my readers know what some of my favorite dishes have been through the years, and I will be providing links to where you can purchase the cookbooks that contain the recipes for these dishes, if you are interested in trying them. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are vegan versions of very many kinds of foods. There is vegan macaroni and cheese, vegan lasagna, scrambled tofu (a great substitute for scrambled eggs), vegan pizza, vegan cheese and sour cream etc. There is so much out there for vegans to eat. A vegan diet does not have to be a deprived, boring and miserab

You Are Loved

Image
You are loved. Jesus places a HIGH value on you...no matter how bad or how good you have been, no matter what you look like, where you are from, what your family is like, what other people say about you etc. The Bible helps us to understand how much Jesus loves us. Here are a list of the scriptures I read during this devotional talk: 1. Psalm 103:8-13 2. Romans 6 verse 23 3. John 3 verse 16 4. Isaiah 53: 3-4, 6, 11-12 5. Philippians 2:5-11 6. Hebrews 12:2-3 For those who don't know, the Pharisees were religious leaders during the time of Jesus. They had departed from God's pure faith, trust and love, and were legalistic, hypocritical and unloving towards others. If you read the gospels, you will see that the Pharisees did not like Jesus (not all of them disliked him). Even so, Jesus LOVED the Pharisees. He did have to use tough love with them many times and especially when He gave them the seven woes (Matthew 23), but oh how He loved them! Nicodemus, whom I mentioned in this
