Here's to Your Health
APRIL 29, 2008
by DON STEDGE
The Men’s Health Day Breakfast was held on Saturday, April 26. In keeping with the theme, a healthier menu was offered which included: turkey sausage, turkey kielbasa, whole wheat French toast, scrambled egg whites, and a fresh fruit salad with real whipped cream (whipped up that morning…no sugar added).
 After the meal, our guest speaker, Pastor Philip Bonaparte, M.D. from New Hope Church of God in East Windsor, NJ, spoke on health issues affecting men such as prostate disease, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.
Giving many scriptural references he showed that God desires us to live long and healthy lives. When Jesus healed people, a lot of times his method was prescriptive. The sad fact is many Christians die prematurely from ignorance and neglect when they could have been treated. 7 out of 10 Americans who haven’t visited a doctor in the last 5 years are men. Seeking medical advice and treatment from a doctor does not constitute a lack of faith; it’s wise and biblical.
For each topic in his presentation entitled "Men's Health Check", Dr. Bonaparte explained the specific anatomy, function, signs to look for, tests needed to detect a problem, questions to ask the doctor, prevention and treatment. The bottom line was: Get Educated, Get Tested, Get Treated, and Live a Healthier Life. You have control over your health.
To bring the topic closer to home, Fred Lavigat, George Hoffmann, Emilio Seda, and JR Rodriguez gave testimonials on their recent health challenges and how God, through early detection and doctors, brought them through it.
In addition, LifeBuilders Men's Ministry held a special offering during this event and collected $430 towards the Scholarship Fund at Solid Rock. Photo gallery>> |
