One of the 28
Fundamental Beliefs of the
00:00:07.05\00:00:09.91
Seventh-day Adventist
Church is Christian behavior.
00:00:09.94\00:00:12.50
We are called to be a godly
people who think, feel, and act
00:00:12.53\00:00:17.29
in harmony with the
principles of heaven.
00:00:17.32\00:00:19.44
For the Holy Spirit to re-create
in us the Christ like purity,
00:00:19.47\00:00:23.84
health and joy, means that
our amusements and entertainment
00:00:23.87\00:00:28.58
should meet the highest
standards of Christian taste.
00:00:28.61\00:00:31.95
While recognizing
cultural differences,
00:00:31.98\00:00:35.44
our dress is to be
simple, modest and neat,
00:00:35.47\00:00:39.07
befitting those whose
true beauty does not consist of
00:00:39.10\00:00:42.17
outward adornment.
00:00:42.20\00:00:43.28
It also means that because
our bodies are the temples
00:00:43.31\00:00:47.10
of the Holy Spirit, we are
to care for them intelligently.
00:00:47.13\00:00:50.47
with adequate exercise
and rest, we are to adopt
00:00:50.50\00:00:54.43
the most healthful diet possible
00:00:54.47\00:00:56.29
and abstain from the
unclean foods identified in the
00:00:56.32\00:00:59.91
scriptures, also
avoiding alcoholic beverages,
00:00:59.94\00:01:03.49
tobacco, and the
irresponsible use of drugs.
00:01:03.52\00:01:06.25
Instead we are to engage in
whatever brings our thoughts
00:01:06.28\00:01:10.11
and bodies into the
discipline of Christ.
00:01:10.14\00:01:13.46
God bless!
