For Heaven’s Sake…
“Eli did not manage his household according to God’s rules for family government. He followed his own judgment. The fond father overlooked the faults and sins of his sons in their childhood, flattering himself that after a time they would outgrow their evil tendencies. Many are now making a similar mistake. They think they know a better way of training their children than that which God has given in His word. They foster wrong tendencies in them, urging as an excuse, “They are too young to be punished. Wait till they become older, and can be reasoned with.” Thus wrong habits are left to strengthen until they become second nature. The children grow up without restraint, with traits of character that are a lifelong curse to them and are liable to be reproduced in others.
“There is no greater curse upon households than to allow the youth to have their own way. When parents regard every wish of their children and indulge them in what they know is not for their good, the children soon lose all respect for their parents, all regard for the authority of God or man, and are led captive at the will of Satan. The influence of an ill-regulated family is widespread and disastrous to all society. It accumulates in a tide of evil that affects families, communities, and governments.
“Because of Eli’s position, his influence was more extended than if he had been an ordinary man. His family life was imitated throughout Israel. The baleful results of his negligent, ease-loving ways were seen in thousands of homes that were molded by his example. If children are indulged in evil practices, while the parents make a profession of religion, the truth of God is brought into reproach. The best test of the Christianity of a home is the type of character begotten by its influence. Actions speak louder than the most positive profession of godliness. If professors of religion, instead of putting forth earnest, persistent, and painstaking effort to bring up a well-ordered household as a witness to the benefits of faith in God, are lax in their government and indulgent to the evil desires of their children, they are doing as did Eli, and are bringing disgrace on the cause of Christ and ruin upon themselves and their households. But great as are the evils of parental unfaithfulness under any circumstances, they are tenfold greater when they exist in the families of those appointed as teachers of the people. When these fail to control their own households, they are, by their wrong example, misleading many. Their guilt is as much greater than that of others as their position is more responsible.
“The promise had been made that the house of Aaron should walk before God forever; but this promise had been made on condition that they should devote themselves to the work of the sanctuary with singleness of heart and honor God in all their ways, not serving self nor following their own perverse inclinations. Eli and his sons had been tested, and the Lord had found them wholly unworthy of the exalted position of priests in His service. And God declared, “Be it far from Me.” He could not accomplish the good that He had meat to do them, because they failed to do their part.”

For Health’s Sake…
Humira is used for autoimmune conditions. Autoimmune conditions tend to result from an overactive immune system in response to excess toxins in the body. Excess toxins result from improper diet and lifestyle. TOR simply advises a highly nutritious juice feast or water fast, in some cases, to successfully flush out toxins and strengthen the immune system. Instead of saving money on simple, healthy alternatives, people annually spend $8.2 billion on Humira.
Abilifi is used for depression. Pastor Flemons says, “We’re depressed because of living outside of God’s will.” The body’s response causes chemical imbalances. This can also result from eating too much sugar, which sets the stage for depression. The annual user cost of Abilifi is $7.9 billion. TOR has a Happiness Tea and Tonic that will help to balance brain chemicals.
Crestor is used for cholesterol. The body makes all the cholesterol that it needs. Excessive cholesterol is introduced to the body through eating the flesh of animals and their byproducts. If the biblical diet were strictly followed, then no cholesterol would be added to the body. There is no cholesterol in nuts, grains, fruits, or vegetables. Yet, people annually spend billions on Crestor, when they only need to change their dietary and lifestyle habits.
