HEALTH MINISTRIES: Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all
to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
At Knoxville First, we advocate a healthy lifestyle for our membership in keeping
with the guidelines of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, which includes
abstinence from tobacco, alcohol and caffeine products. We actively promote through
Health Ministries a lifestyle that includes exercise, plenty of sunlight, spiritual
emphasis and a vegetarian total plant based whole foods diet.

The more perfect our health, the more perfect will be our labor. When we overtax
our strength, and become exhausted, we are liable to take cold, and at such times
there is danger of disease assuming a dangerous form. We must not leave the care
of ourselves with God, when He has placed that responsibility with us (Testimonies
For The Church 3:13).
If our physical habits are not right, our mental and moral powers cannot be strong;
for great sympathy exists between the physical and the moral. The apostle Peter understood
this and raised his voice of warning to his brethren: “Dearly beloved, I beseech
you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the
soul.” {LHU 159.3}
