Health and Wholeness Ministry

Living Saviour Lutheran Church has established a ministry for Health and Wholeness that seeks to connect faith and health. Through a process of education about health and spiritual practices, the ministry seeks to integrate the whole person.

This wholeness flows from humanity to our good creation as well. The ministry seeks to integrate how we care for the earth and its inhabitants, plant, animal, and human, while encouraging those practices which focus on a healthy environment to promote a healthy humanity.

Focus for March 2026 is Dental Health.

Tip#1: Maintaining good care of your teeth, mouth, and gums can affect your overall health. It prevents bad breath and tooth decay, tooth and mouth abscesses, and jawbone infection. Brush teeth twice daily for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste. Floss or use a water flosser daily.

1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.  

Tip#2: Mouth bacteria can make you lose your teeth and may cause jawbone infection. See a dentist twice a year for checkups and cleaning. Eat a healthy diet and limit sugar in food and drinks. Avoid smoking. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Good dental care protects the health of your entire body.

Romans 12:1 Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Tip#3: The mouth is full of germs. These germs are usually harmless, but they can enter the stomach, lungs, or bloodstream from poor dental hygiene. This can cause endocarditis (infection of heart lining), premature birth, and has been linked to dementia. Brush your teeth twice daily and get dental checkups every six months.

1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Tip#4: Gum disease or periodontitis may cause heart disease, premature birth, clogged arteries and stroke. Mouth cancers can be cured when detected early from regular dental checkups. Care of our mouth is very important to our overall health.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

Tip#5:  Some health conditions make dental care especially important. Diabetics and people with high blood sugar are less able to fight infections. Also, blood sugars rise with infection. Cancers of the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, lung, breast, prostate and uterus have been linked to gum disease. Regular dental care can improve our general health.

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.
