健康和治疗
1. 为了引起人对健康改良兴趣所作的每一努力，都会蒙上帝赐福，因为健康改革到处都需要。在这个方面应有一个复兴，因为上帝定意要藉此成就大工。(《文稿》1890年6a号){PH137 4.1}
2. 圣灵从来没有、将来也决不会将医疗布道工作与传福音的工作分开来。他们是密不可分的。传扬圣道和医治病患的工作因着与耶稣基督相连而成为一体。(《特别证言》B第7号64页){PH137 4.2}
3. 安息日复临信徒应当向世界呈现上帝所赐健康改良的先进原则。{PH137 4.3}
在福音工作中主使用不同的工具;决不可让任何事物将这些工具分隔开来。(《信函》1899年209号){PH137 4.4}
4. 在我们奉召前往的各国中，我们若要提高道德的标准，就必须先从改良他们的生活习惯着手。人的品德，全赖乎适宜地运用身心的能力。(《健康勉言》505号){PH137 4.5}
5. 基督藉着将医师和传道人的工作结合在一起、照顾身体和心灵的需要、医治身体的疾病，然后说出给烦恼的心带来平安的话，从而完美地表现出真正的敬虔。(《健康勉言》528号){PH137 4.6}
一个有效的工具
6. 医疗布道工作一旦与其它福音工作相结合，就成为一个最有效的工具，使地土为播撒真理的种子做好准备，从而获得收成。医疗布道工作是传福音工作的助手。福音工作者应尽可能学会怎样服务人身体和心灵的需要，因为他们这样做，就是效法基督的榜样。不节制使世界充满了疾病。福音传道人不可能用他们所有的光阴和精力来照顾人们身体的需要。上帝已经命定让基督徒医师和护士与传道的人合作。医疗布道工作应与传福音工作相结合。(《评论与通讯》1908年9月10日){PH137 4.7}
不可妥协
7. 试探将会临到从事医疗布道的工作人员，诱使他们抬高自己，为求效果而讲究外表的煊示。你的工作中要除去一切这类的东西。要像基督那样一心工作，不可与世俗的习惯和做法妥协。我们应站在纯洁永恒的真理基础之上。在这方面，别人可能会以我们为怪，可是一切接受基督之人的命分都是这样的。每一个从事医疗布道工作的人都应藉着与那伟大“工人”的联系而使工作取得成功。(《文稿》1898年96号){PH137 5.1}
复兴教会
8. 要动员教会里的青年男女去作工，把医疗布道工作与传扬第三位天使的信息结合起来。要组织定期的活动，使信徒们摆脱多年所处的无生命状况。要把实行健康改革原则的传道人派到各教会中去。要让那些奉派的人看出在食欲上舍己的必要性，否则他们就会成为教会的网罗。要看看这样做会否使生命的气息进入我们的各教会中。需要使新的元素参加工作。上帝的子民必须感悟自己的重大需要与危险，并且开始从事最切近身边的工作。(《教会证言》卷六267页){PH137 5.2}
上天所指定进入人心的方法
9. 在各城市应开展医疗布道工作，应按正确的方法建立起医疗中心和布道机构。我一直蒙指示：福音传道人应与医疗布道工作合作相配合，这样就能消除世上对真理所怀的偏见。(《文稿》1901年33号){PH137 6.1}
成千股水流
10. 我们将会看到医疗布道工作因为有成千股水流的涌流而在前进的每一方面变得更宽更深，直到全地都被充满，像水充满海洋一样。(《文稿》1901年32号){PH137 6.2}
11. 在每一座城市里都要开展真正的医疗布道工作。要通过我们的健康刊物和书籍，清清楚楚地把真正健康改革的原则传给疗养院中的病人。在每一个城市里都会有人希望到附近的疗养院去，他们不能走太远的路程。有许多现在看来似乎不在意的人将会认罪回转。我很清楚地看到这一点。(《信函》1905年203号){PH137 6.3}
赎民的工作
12. 在天上是要工作的。得救的状态并不是无所事事的。确有安息为上帝的子民存留。但这安息乃是在爱的服务之中。在赎民中间有些人是在生命的最后时刻持定基督的。他们在离世时还没有完全明白救恩的计划，所以在天上将要继续教导他们。基督要带领赎民到生命河边，告诉他们在世上的时候不能明白的事情。(《信函》1905年203号){PH137 6.4}
就像吗哪
13. 上帝已经赐给，并将继续赐给人有关食物问题的亮光，这对于祂现代的子民来说就像古时赐吗哪给以色列人一样。吗哪从天而降，百姓奉命收取，并准备好食用。照样，在世上各国中，主的子民也要得到亮光，知道怎样做出合乎各国之用的健康食品。(《文稿》1902年78号){PH137 7.1}
给传道士的指教
14. 凡希望成为传道士的人应当接受称职医师的指教，这样的医师会教导他们如何不用药物来照料病人。这种功课对于那些要到国外去的人具有最高的价值。他们所使用的简单疗法将会救许多人的性命。(《文稿》1908年83号){PH137 7.2}
不要妨碍改革
15. 主已经把宣扬健康改良信息的工作委托给我们。如果你不能随宣传这个信息的人一同前进，就不利于它的传播。你既妨碍了教导健康改良信息之同工们的工作，就是脱离正轨，站在错误的一边。(《信函》1902年48号){PH137 7.3}
有感染力的榜样
16. 上帝要试炼人的真诚。那些舍己，背起十架跟从基督的人要不断地作工，去恢复堕落人类起初的形像。那些为真理而牺牲自我的人会给世人留下深刻的印象。他们所作的榜样是有感染力且令人信服的。人们将看到教会里有那生发仁爱并洁净心灵的信心。然而当那些自称为上帝作工的人谋求自己的利益时，他们就大大地阻碍了这圣工，并且使其受到批评指责。(《信函》1901年第38号){PH137 7.4}
极端分子
17. 撒但的希望和计划是把一些极端分子带到我们中间。这些人心地狭窄，尖刻挑剔，非常顽固地坚持自己对真理的见解。他们会很苛求，会设法强制实施严格的职责，在一些无关的紧要的小事上花费大力气，却忽视了律法中更重要的事，就是公义、怜悯和上帝的爱。因为这一小群人的做法，整个守安息日的人被看为一班固执、伪善、狂热之徒。因为这些工人，真理的事业被人视为不屑一顾的。(《评论与通讯》1888年5月29日){PH137 8.1}
这个时代的罪恶
18. 耽于声色是这个时代的罪恶。可是耶稣基督的宗教要坚决限制一切不法的自由。道德的力量要坚决控制每一思想和言行。从真正基督徒的口中察不出诡诈。他们不应当放纵一个不纯洁的念头，陷于任何粗心大意的举动，讲出一句近乎下流的话，做出一件有丝毫不良印象的事。(《文稿》1885年4a号){PH137 8.2}
PH137 - Health and Healing
【Selections From the Manuscripts】
1. God’s blessing will rest upon every effort made to awaken an interest in health reform; for it is needed everywhere. There must be a revival on this subject; for God purposes to accomplish much through this agency. MS-6a-1890.?{PH137 4.1}[1]
2. The Holy Spirit never has, and never will in the future, divorce the medical missionary work from the gospel ministry. They cannot be divorced. Bound up with Jesus Christ, the ministry of the word and the healing of the sick are one. Series B, No. 7, page 64.?{PH137 4.2}[2]
3. Seventh-day Adventists are to be represented to the world by the advanced principles of health reform which God has given us.?{PH137 4.3}[3]
In the work of the gospel the Lord uses different instrumentalities, and nothing is to be allowed to separate these instrumentalities. D.F.?{PH137 4.4}[4]
4. If we would elevate the moral standard in any country where we may be called to go, we must begin by correcting their physical habits. Virtue of character depends upon the right action of the powers of the mind and body.Counsels on Health, 505.?{PH137 4.5}[5]
5. Christ gave a perfect representation of true godliness by combining the work of a physician and a minister, ministering to the needs of both body and soul, healing physical disease, and then speaking words that brought peace to the troubled heart.Counsels on Health, 528.?{PH137 4.6}[6]
【An Effective Instrument】
6. When connected with other lines of gospel effort, medical missionary work is a most effective instrument by which the ground is prepared for the sowing of the seeds of truth, and the instrument also by which the harvest is reaped. Medical missionary work is the helping hand of the gospel ministry. So far as possible, it would be well for evangelical workers to learn how to minister to the necessities of the body as well as the soul; for in doing this, they are following the example of Christ. Intemperance has well-nigh filled the world with disease, and the ministers of the gospel cannot spend all their time and strength in ministering to the physical needs of the people. The Lord has ordained that Christian physicians and?nurses shall labor in connection with those who preach the word. The medical missionary work is to be bound up with the gospel ministry.The Review and Herald, September 10, 1908.?{PH137 4.7}[7]
【No Compromise】
7. To those who engage in the medical missionary work, the temptation will come to exalt themselves, to put on an appearance for the sake of effect. Cut away everything of this character from your work. Let the whole burden of soul be to be just what Christ was in His work. We are to make no compromise with the habits and practices of the world. We are to stand upon the platform of eternal truth, pure, unadulterated truth. In this we may be considered singular, but this is the lot of all who make Christ their portion. Every worker in medical missionary lines is to make that work a success by living in connection with the Great Worker.—Manuscript 96, 1898.?{PH137 5.1}[8]
【Will Revive the Churches】
8. Get the young men and women in the churches to work. Combine medical missionary work with the proclamation of the third angel’s message. Make regular, organized efforts to lift the church members out of the dead level in which they have been for years. Send out into the churches workers who will live the principles of health reform. Let those be sent who can see the necessity of self-denial in appetite, or they will be a snare to the church. See if the breath of life will not then come into our churches. A new element needs to be brought into the work. God’s people must realize their great need and peril, and take up the work that lies nearest them.?Testimonies for the Church 6:267.?{PH137 5.2}[9]
【A Heaven-Ordained Means of Entrance to Hearts】
9. Medical missionary work must have its representatives in our cities. Centers must be made and missions established on right lines. Ministers of the gospel are to unite with the medical missionary work which has ever been presented to me as the work which is to break down the prejudice which exists in our world against the truth.—Manuscript 33, 1901.?{PH137 6.1}[10]
【A Thousand Streams】
10. We shall see the medical missionary work broadening and deepening at every point of its progress, because of the inflowing of hundreds and thousands of streams, until the whole earth is covered as the waters cover the sea. MS-32-1901.?{PH137 6.2}[11] 11. In every large city there should be a representation of true medical missionary work. The principles of genuine health reform are to be brought out in clear lines, in our health publications, and in lectures delivered to the patients in our sanitariums. In every city there are men and women who would go to a sanitarium were it near at hand, who would not be able to go to one a long way off. There are many who will be convicted and converted, who now appear indifferent. I look at this matter in a very decided light.—Letter 203, 1905.?{PH137 6.3}[12]
【Employment of the Redeemed】
12. There will be employment in heaven. The redeemed state is not one of idle repose. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God, but it is a rest found in loving service. Some among the redeemed will have laid hold of Christ in the last hours of life, and in heaven instruction will be given to these, who, when they died, did not understand perfectly the plan of salvation. Christ will lead the redeemed ones beside the river of life, and will open to them that which, while on this earth, they could not understand.—Letter 203, 1905.?{PH137 6.4}[13]
【Like the Manna】
13. The light that God has given and will continue to give on the food question is to be to His people today what the manna was to the children of Israel. The manna fell from heaven, and the people were told to gather it, and prepare it to be eaten. So in the different countries of the world, light will be given to the Lord’s people, and health foods suited to these countries will be prepared.—Manuscript 78, 1902.?{PH137 7.1}[14]
【Instruction for Missionaries】
14. Those who desire to become missionaries are to hear instruction from competent physicians, who will teach them how to care for the sick without the use of drugs. Such lessons will be of the highest value to those who go out to labor in foreign countries. And the simple remedies used will save many lives.—Manuscript 83, 1908.?{PH137 7.2}[15]
【Do Not Counterwork Reform】
15. The Lord has given us the work of proclaiming the message of health reform, and if you cannot step forward in the ranks of those who are giving this message you are not to make this prominent. In counterworking the efforts of your fellow laborers, who are teaching health reform, you are out of order, working on the wrong side.—Letter 48, 1902.?{PH137 7.3}[16]
【A Contagious Example】
16. God will test the sincerity of men. Those who will deny self, take up the cross, and follow Christ will have a continual work to do in the line of restoring the fallen human order. Those who sacrifice for truth make a great impression on the world. Their example?is contagious and convincing. Men see that there is in the church that faith which works by love and purifies the soul. But when those who profess to be working for God seek to benefit themselves, they greatly retard the work, and cast a reproach upon it.—Letter 38, 1901.?{PH137 7.4}[17]
【Extremists】
17. It is the desire and plan of Satan to bring in among us those who will go to great extremes,—people of narrow minds, who are critical and sharp, and very tenacious in holding their own conceptions of what the truth means. They will be exacting, and will seek to enforce rigorous duties, and go to great lengths in matters of minor importance, while they neglect the weightier matters of the law,—judgment and mercy and the love of God. Through the work of a few of this class of persons, the whole body of Sabbath keepers will be designated as bigoted, Pharisaical, and fanatical. The work of the truth, because of these workers, will be thought to be unworthy of notice.?The Review and Herald, May 29, 1888.?{PH137 8.1}[18]
【The Sin of the Age】
18. Sensuality is the sin of the age. But the religion of Jesus Christ will hold the lines of control over every species of unlawful liberty; the moral powers will hold the lines of control over every thought, word, and action. Guile will not be found in the lips of the true Christian. Not an impure thought will be indulged in, nor any careless movements, not a word spoken that is approaching to sensuality, not an action that has the least appearance of evil.—Manuscript 4a, 1885.?{PH137 8.2}[19]
