Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “Don’t continue drinking only water but use a little wine because of your stomach and frequent illnesses.” 1 Timothy 5:23 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “The risks may outweigh the benefits”   This morning we will continue our discussion from yesterday regarding the use of alcohol as a beverage. As was noted, one of the factors people living in the geographic Blue Zones seemed to have in common was the lifelong habit of consuming one or two alcoholic beverages per day. Not drinking to excess, but one or two. The research showed:   “Epidemiological studies seem to show that people who have a daily drink per day of beer, wine, or spirits may accrue some health benefits. But the secrets of the Blue Zone suggest that consistency and moderation are key. In Okinawa, it’s a daily glass of sake with friends. In Sardinia, it’s a glass of dark red wine with each meal and whenever friends meet … A daily drink or two has been associated with lower rates of heart disease …”   However, the news is not all good and much of it is contradictory. While some studies show there may be some limited benefit to moderate alcohol consumption, some others show the opposite. Again, quoting from the book “Blue Zones”:   “Beware, however, of the toxic effects of alcohol on the liver, brain, and other organs – along with the increased risk of accidents … alcohol has also been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer … the risk of drinking can outweigh any health benefits.”   Additionally, studies sponsored by the American Heart Association and various prestigious medical schools and institutions show that even moderate regular use of alcohol raises your blood pressure both in the short-term and long-term. Some of those studies indicate that even two drinks per day over a sustained period can add 10-15 points to your resting state blood pressure and increase your likelihood of developing hypertension by 11% or more.   I personally do not believe the case can be made that the consumption of alcohol as a beverage is a sin. The Biblical evidence for that simply is not there. Drunkenness is a sin; having a glass of wine with dinner probably is not. Again, when it comes to letting the Bible speak for itself on this or on any other issue, we must trust that God has told us everything He wants us to know on the subject and that He has been as clear about it as He wanted to be. So, we need to let the Bible speak for itself without reading our own biases into it and without trying to make it say more than it really does say.   But in terms of living long and living well, I believe the evidence is not in alcohol’s favor. In addition to being a potentially addictive substance, the health risks associated with even moderate use seem to outweigh any potential benefits.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “He causes grass to grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, producing food from the earth, wine that makes human hearts glad – making his face shine with oil – and bread that sustains human hearts.” Psalm 104:15 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Use only with extreme caution”   This morning I’m going to address a subject that is controversial and for which many people have strong opinions on both sides of the issue. It’s the subject of Christians consuming alcohol as a beverage. The only reason I am bringing this up is because it is one of the factors for longevity that Dan Buettner and his team discovered among those in the geographic Blue Zones who tend to live long lives. Among the Blue Zone populations in his study, consuming alcohol as a beverage is customary in those cultures, and many of the people in the study who have lived long have consumed a glass or two daily for most of their lives.   My reason for addressing it this morning is simply because I said I would faithfully report the results of the Blue Zone discoveries. As Christians, we should not turn a blind eye to facts we are uncomfortable with. Instead, we should be able to critically evaluate the facts in-light-of Scripture, without trying to make the Bible say more or less than it does on the subject. We are not to add to or take away from God’s Word on any subject.   In Biblical times wine was a common beverage consumed by God’s people. It was one of the few beverages which could consistently be trusted as safe to consume. Milk and water were often contaminated or spoiled. Wine, which was fermented, was almost always safe to consume in small quantities.   There are many verses and passages in both the Old and New Testaments which address this subject. Psalm 104:15 (above) lists wine, along with other blessings, which are provided by God for His people to enjoy. In John 2:1-10 we find that Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding celebration. And not only did He miraculously provide the wine, but in the words of the master of ceremonies, it was the best wine, the good stuff. (If we are faithful to the context of the passage, we must acknowledge that the wine Jesus created was indeed a potentially intoxicating beverage). In 1 Timothy 5:23 the Apostle Paul urged his young protégé Timothy to use a little wine for medicinal purposes.   However, there are even more passages in both the Old and New Testaments that warn against the sin of drunkenness. While there may be many examples in the Bible of God’s people consuming alcoholic beverages in moderation, the Bible makes it clear that drinking to excess is a sin. Drunkenness is condemned.   Please understand me, this devotional is not intended to be an argument for or against consuming an alcoholic beverage as a beverage. It is intended to make two points: First, we must let the Bible speak for itself and do not try to make it say more, or less, than it does on this or on any subject. We must be careful that we are not reading our own biases into it. And second, I am simply reporting a fact that Dan Buettner and his team discovered in their research.   Tommorow I will share more of that with you and then we will learn that if you are going to use alcohol at all, you must do so with extreme caution.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years … indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away; Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.” Psalm 90:10;12 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Make the most of your life”   Last December, right at the end of the old year and as we were about to turn the calendar into the New Year, Aimee and I went away for a week. We rented a secluded Airbnb on the beach, and we spent the week prayerfully thinking through and discussing our plans for the New Year. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we each developed a list of personal goals as well as another list of things we hoped to achieve as a couple over the course of the upcoming year. Our reason for doing that is the truth expressed by the Psalmist in the verses above – life is short and we should make the most of it.   Aimee and I are both in our senior years now. We are both healthy and active, we are both still happily pursuing our careers, and we both make it a point to take good care of ourselves. But still, we have limited time left and so, we intend to make the most of that time. Being intentional about what we do, when we do it, how we do it, and why we do it is critical. Otherwise, we could end up wasting time – and once the time is gone, it’s gone – you can never get it back.   I came home the other night to discover that Aimee had taken her planning to another level. Based on our study in these devotionals about Blue Zones, she developed a detailed written plan to create her own Blue Zone life. Although she was already being careful about her diet, and she already goes to the gym 3-4 times a week, the plan she developed is much more specific and comprehensive. I’m proud of her for how intentional she’s being about this. (She is very much a creative, artistic, musical, free spirit. I’m the structured and disciplined military man. So, she is helping me to lighten up a little and I’m helping her so tighten it up a little.)   My point is that it’s important for us to be intentional about how we approach life and how we use our time. Having a clear purpose in life is a proven key to longevity and quality of life. Having a plan to guide you as you fulfill that purpose is critical to your success in achieving your goals.   I encourage you to make the most of your life. Time is fleeting and your days are numbered. Don’t waste them.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “You need a clear purpose”   I have a friend who is a successful businessman. He’s in his mid-seventies and he still leads his company. He has no intention of stopping any time soon because he loves the work and he uses his business as a platform for ministry. It provides an opportunity for him to interact with many people, and his profits are also a source of funds for charitable purposes. He keeps himself healthy and fit, and he also lives a balanced life that includes family and friends, rest and recreation, hobbies and ministry.   My friend has a clear purpose in life that gets him out of bed in the morning, keeps him focused throughout the day, and keeps him moving into the future. As Dan Buettner and his team discovered in their research for National Geographic regarding longevity, having a clear purpose in life is essential. Those who live long and live well all seem to have a defined purpose that keeps them going.   In his book Dan tells us, “Dr. Robert Butler and collaborators led an NIH-funded study that looked at the correlation between having a sense of purpose and longevity. His 11-year study followed highly functioning people between the ages of 65 and 92 and found that individuals who expressed a clear goal in life – something to get up for in the morning, something that made a difference – lived longer and were sharper than those who did not.”   Dan and his team found this to be true across the spectrum of Blue Zone populations. “Okinawans call it “Ikigai”, Nicoyans call it “Plan de vida”, in both cultures the phrase essentially translates to “why I get up in the morning”. The strong sense of purpose possessed by older Okinawans may act as a buffer against stress and help reduce their chances of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, and stroke.”   In Ephesians 2:10 the Apostle Paul reminds his readers that God has a purpose and a plan for each of us. It includes “good works” that He has planned for us to do, and for which He has prepared us. That’s true through all the seasons of life and it’s essential for each of us to have identified that purpose and then to actively pursue it each day. Having a clear sense of purpose in life is so important that we will continue thinking about it tomorrow.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “If you find honey, eat only what you need; otherwise, you’ll get sick from it and vomit.” Proverbs 25:16 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Eat less”   In general, slender people live longer and healthier than overweight or obese people. The reasons for that are obvious. We’ve covered many of those reasons already in this series and so rather than rehashing those, we will spend our time this morning thinking about ways to address the issue.   Reducing caloric intake is one of the Blue Zone strategies recommended by Dan Buettner. Moderate eating is one of the traits held in common by those who live long and healthy lives. One of the Blue Zone population groups Dan studied for his National Geographic research was Okinawans. As a group they tend to live longer and healthier than almost any other population group on earth today. They have a cultural saying that they often repeat to each other just prior to beginning a meal “Hara Hachi Bu”, which, roughly translated means, “Stop eating when your stomach is 80% full.” That’s because when your stomach is 80% full you are no longer hungry, but you are not yet stuffed either.   For most of us, simply reducing your calorie intake by 20% per day can result in as much as a 10% loss of body weight. Losing 10% of your body weight will significantly improve your overall health and your quality of life. Counting calories works. Eat a moderate amount of reasonably healthy food and get some exercise every day and before long, you will begin to experience positive results.   So, reduce your calories. Perhaps the most important way to do that is to control your environment. One of the primary reasons we overeat is because food and temptation are all around us. The Blue Zone researchers found, “We overeat because of circumstances – friends, family, packages, plates, names, numbers, labels, lights, colors, candles, shapes, smells, distractions, cupboards, and containers.”   Serve yourself smaller portions. If you are eating out in a restaurant, ask for a “to go” box when the food arrives and immediately remove one-half of the portion from your plate. Restaurants serve large portions so they can charge you more money. It’s typically much more food than a normal healthy serving. Also, eat your meals with other people who also make smart food choices. We are influenced by those around us. And control your environment. Avoid buffets. If donuts are your downfall, don’t park in front of the donut shop at the strip mall. Don’t fill your refrigerator or cupboard with snacks and foods that are unhealthy.   You can train yourself to eat less. Eating less will result in losing weight. Being thinner will improve your health and increase your chances of living longer and better. Step one to better nutrition and a longer and healthier life is to simply eat less.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,

Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”

Our Bible verse for today: “Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise. Without leader, administrator, or ruler, it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest. How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.” Proverbs 6:6-11 (CSB)

Our thought for today: “Stay active”

We can tell from his words in Proverbs 6:6-11 that Solomon had little patience for lazy people. But I also think he was preaching to the choir – he was preaching to himself. If you’re familiar with his story, especially as recorded in Ecclesiastes 2:1-3, you know that Solomon himself went through a long period (maybe years), of lounging around on the couch eating junk food and watching television (or the equivalent as it existed in his day)

The point is that inactivity is a killer. It wastes your time and therefore it wastes your life. It reduces your productivity and your sense of self-worth, and it destroys your health. The less active you are, the more likely you are to be overweight or obese. The less active you are, the weaker your heart and lungs will be. The less active you are, the less energy you will have. In short, the more active you are the more alive you are, and the less active you are the closer to being dead you are.

As Dan Buettner and his team of researchers discovered and reported in their National Geographic book “Blue Zones”, one character trait people who live long and live well seem to have in common is that they stay active. Even in their retirement years they exercise, take daily walks, do yardwork and gardening, play with the grandchildren, and do household projects; they enjoy hobbies, they go places and do things, and they keep moving.

In the final chapter of the book, Dan gives us a list of recommendations we can employ in our own lives to create our own Blue Zones. In other words, there are things we can learn from those who have lived long and well which we can incorporate into our own lives, and which will help us to live long and well also. As we learned already, one of them is to develop, maintain, and practice a vibrant life of faith. Now we learn that another is to stay active.

It really is true that the more active you are the more alive you are, and the less active you are the closer to being dead you are. That’s true figuratively, but also literally. Therefore, I encourage you to stay active.

God bless,

Pastor Jim

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23   Our thought for today: “This is why strong faith is most important”   Of all the factors held in common by people who live in the geographic Blue Zones (as discussed in previous devotionals in this series) which contribute to a long life lived well, I believe strong faith to be the most important. As supported by the research of Dan Beuttner and reported in his book “Blue Zones”, strong faith is a shared trait by a large percentage of those who have lived long and well. But why? Why is strong faith such a powerful positive contributing factor to long life?   While I can’t answer that question regarding the practice of any faith other than Christianity, for the Christian the answer is illustrated well for us by the Apostle Paul in Galatians 5:22-23. There we read of what the apostle calls “The fruit of the Spirit.” They are character traits of Jesus which the Holy Spirit develops in the life of a committed disciple of Christ. As the person grows in spiritual maturity, they begin to experience more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in their lives.   Over time those character traits begin to define who that person is at the very core of their being. That then has a positive impact on every other part of the person’s life. Deep in their soul they are at peace. The person is calm, settled, joyful, and content – as opposed to being agitated, anxious, unhappy, and unsettled. Every aspect of life becomes better because that person has the Holy Spirit forming the fruit of the Spirit in their heart.   In previous devotionals we have considered the truth that as human beings we are composite beings who consist of a physical body, mental/emotional capacity, and spirit/soul. All three parts of us are interrelated and impact each other. All three parts are essential parts of our being and all three need to be kept as healthy as possible for as long as possible. But our spirit is by far the most important part of us, and it is the part that has the most profound impact on the other two. If you are unsettled in your spirit, then the rest of your life will be unsettled too. But if you are at peace in your spirit, your emotions will be stable and even as your body slowly deteriorates with age, you will handle that challenge with dignity and grace because deep in your soul the most important part of you is strong, healthy, vital, and thriving.   I urge all of us to take proper care of our entire being – all three parts – but the most important part of you is your spirit. Take good care of yourself spiritually.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.” Acts 2:44-47 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Create your own Blue Zone”   As we approach the end of our study on living long and living well, we are considering some of the suggestions offered by Dan Buettner and his team of researchers as published in his book, “Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest.” A Blue Zone is a region in the world where a large percentage of the population tends to live long and healthy lives, often to 100 or older.   The idea behind the lessons the author offers us is that although most of us cannot move to and live in one of the geographic Blue Zones referred to in the book, we can all implement changes in our lives that help to create a Blue Zone for us and for those we love. And as I wrote in a previous devotional, the lifestyle habit that most of those in the Blue Zones shared and which I think is most important and most helpful, is strong faith. Statistically, people of faith tend to live better and longer than unbelievers – and Dan Buettner’s research bore that out. And the healthiest and most impactful practice of faith occurs in community, when you are surrounded by likeminded others and everyone is strengthened and encouraged by each other’s faith.   In Acts 2:44-47 we’re reading about the early church in Jerusalem. At that point the Christian Church was only months old and already they had established the importance of having a strong community of faith to be a part of and to support you. This is church life at its best.   The model of the early church shows us an ideal setting and one that was necessary at that early stage of the establishment of the new faith. It is not intended to be a blueprint for every church everywhere throughout history. However, the principles of love, support, fellowship, sharing, caring, and much time spent together, are the basis for healthy church life and the more of that that is practiced in any church, the healthier that church will be.   As we discovered in an earlier devotional on this topic, numerous studies have statistically shown that people who have a strong faith and who practice it in a community of likeminded believers tend to be happier and to live longer than those who don’t.   Perhaps the most important element in establishing your own personal Blue Zone is to develop a strong faith and practice it in community. You need to be part of a good church family.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “God sets the lonely in families …” Psalm 68:6 (NIV)   Our thought for today: “You’re welcome in the cool kids club”   My son Rick was bipolar from an early age. In those days we didn’t know it, we only knew that he was different and that he struggled with social interaction and building relationships. That was especially true in high school. He tried to fit in. He joined the chess club and the debate team. He went to dances and football games and other special events. But he would often come home frustrated and in exasperation he would say, “Some day I’m going to figure out how to get into the cool kids club.”   He hung onto that phrase and throughout his adult life, whenever he accomplished something of significance, like graduating from college, he would jokingly say, “Well, maybe now they’ll let me into the cool kids club.”   In middle age Rick finally found the acceptance he had been searching for his whole life. He moved from Los Angeles, CA to Crossville, TN and he joined us at Oak Hill Baptist Church. There he found a church family that welcomed him and loved him. He would sometimes joke that he had finally made it into the cool kids club. I think he was right – but only in a limited way. Oak Hill Baptist is a great place filled with a lot of great people but as good as it is, it is still only a shadow of the real thing in heaven.   Sadly, Rick died at the age of only fifty-five. He had suffered from a long list of serious health problems for many years and finally one day, he had a heart attack and died suddenly. I preached his funeral and I told the story of “the cool kids club” and how it is that Rick found love and acceptance as a member of a good church family. I also told them I’m certain that in the moment Rick’s spirit left his physical body and entered heaven, Jesus was standing there with a big smile and arms opened wide, and He said, “Rick! Welcome to the cool kids club!”   Heaven is the real cool kids club. But until then, as Psalm 68:6 teaches, a good church family is the best substitute you will find here on earth. And as we learned in yesterday’s devotional, being active in a good church is a key element for living well and being happy.   I encourage you to be involved in the full life of a good church. And if you don’t have a church home, and if you are close to Cumberland County, TN, then I invite you to visit with us at Oak Hill Baptist. I promise you will be made to feel welcomed.   God bless, Pastor Jim    (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Live long, live well”   Our Bible verse for today: “I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go up to the house of the Lord.” Psalm 122:2 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Going to church is good for you”    In his book “Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest” Dan Buettner and his team searched the world-over and found clusters of people in widely different locations where a high percentage of the population lived long and lived well. They studied those population groups and discovered that they all had certain things in common which seemed to contribute to the quality and longevity of their lives.   Out of the results of their research Dan and his team then developed a list of suggestions we can all adopt that will improve the quality of our lives in the immediate short term, but which will also increase the likelihood of living longer as well as better. In the days to come we will think about each of those suggestions.   The lesson from their research that I personally believe is by far the most important and most helpful is being part of a healthy community of faith. The people in Buettner’s population groups practiced many different faiths but the positive impact on overall health and longevity was similar. They found that:   “Healthy centenarians everywhere have faith … The simple act of worship is one of those subtly powerful habits that seems to improve your chances of having more good years.”   “Studies have shown that attending religious services – even as infrequently as once a month – may make a difference in how long a person lives. A recent study in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior followed 3,617 people for seven and a half years and found that those who attended religious services at least once a month reduced their risk of death by about a third.”   “It appears that people who pay attention to their spiritual side have lower rates of cardiovascular disease, depression, stress, and suicide, and their immune systems seem to work better. Put generally, the faithful are healthier and happier.”   Strong faith that is held deeply and practiced faithfully is an essential element in living long and living well. Additionally, it is essential that that faith be practiced within the context of a healthy community of like-minded people. Tomorrow we will think more about how it is that being part of a good church family makes life better.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville
