A comic book to celebrate the birth of Christ published by Kingstone Media.
I wrote a blog on Around My Home Town that talks about my interest in comic books. Take a look at http://aroundmyhometown.com/blogs/robertbradley/. This is the comic book, Seraph that I reference in that blog. As I step back into the comic book creation arena, I came across this comic. Take a look and let me know what you think.
What is Holistic Christian living?
The term holistic has been used for various situations, but more extensively regarding holistic health. A simple definition of a system or situation being holistic is the ability to include all aspects of any system to make it work more efficiently and be more effective.
For a person focusing on holistic health, he or she takes into account their environment, their nutrition, their exercise, their mental and emotional condition and anything and everything that may affect their health. The idea of a healthy quick fix, by taking manufactured pills, eating processed fast “nutritionally enriched” foods and the “instant” exercise workout are seen as dubious at best and things to be avoided for optimal health. In short, holistic health doesn't separate the different aspects of a person's life from their overall health and well-being.
Taking that philosophy, holistic Christian living is simply living the way Jesus lived. He didn't separate the different aspects of His life as secular and sacred. Everything He did was sacred. He took into account everything that would help Him to live a life “worthy of His calling” as God the Father's chosen vessel for the salvation of mankind. So, holistic Christian living is to live in a way that takes into account everything that helps us to live worthy of God the Father's calling on our lives. Holistic Christian living doesn't separate between secular and sacred; all of life is sacred.
Something that we must take into account regarding God's calling on our lives is that there is a general calling or what may be called God's will, which is general and inclusive for everybody. But, there is also a specific calling on each of our lives. And taking into account and embracing anything and everything that will help us to accomplish that calling in an efficiently and effective way is basic to living a holistic Christian living.
Holistic Christian living includes embracing a person's:
ü Spirituality
ü Health
ü Mental Strength
ü Emotional Stability
ü Vocation or work choice
ü Recreation and relaxation
and making sure that it all dedicated to God the Father and His kingdom.
The goal of Spirit Warrior Ministries is to help you live a Holistic Christian life free of the dichotomy of scared and secular.
