Q. Does the Bible mention health as part of the GOSPEL? A. Well….let’s look at the definition of the GOSPEL, and let the Bible answer for itself. “And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News (GOSPEL) to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. “Fear God,” he shouted, “Give glory to him, for the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of waters.” Revelation 14:6-7 The Bible tells us how we give glory to God: “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor (glorify) God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 So, we believe that we as a church cannot focus only on spiritual matters, but that people have physical and social needs as well.

Q. Do you believe that vegetarianism is a Biblical requirement? A. No. We believe that you should eat an optimal diet, and strive to obtain optimal health. There are many benefits to a plantbased diet as compared to a meat-based diet as far as reducing the risk of many Western killer diseases we as a society face today. Q. Why then should a CHURCH concern itself with HEALTH AND NUTRITION? A. As Christians, we profess to follow Jesus Christ. And when we look at his ministry as found in the four gospels, one thing which stands clear is that Jesus ministered to the people’s physical needs as well as the spiritual. Some who have looked at the life of Christ feel that he healed more than he preached. God is interested in our physical health, as well as our spiritual health. “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.” 3 John 2 “And so dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.” Romans 12?1 We believe that part of the good news that we can give our fellow man is that God wishes us to have abundant health in all areas of our life….and that it is really a part of our gospel commission.

Put soaked beans and water into pot. Bring to a boil, then turn to simmer and cook until tender, about 1-2 hours. Drain excess water off the beans. While the beans are cooking, sauté onions in oil until translucent, then add the remaining ingredients. Once the beans are done, drain the beans and add the sautéed ingredients. Serve.
