Verse of the day

Verse of the day

“For bodily training is of some value; godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come”

ἡ γὰρ σωματικὴ γυμνασία πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστιν ὠφέλιος· ἡ δὲ εὐσέβεια πρὸς πάντα ὠφέλιός ἐστιν, ἐπαγγελίαν ἔχουσα ζωῆς τῆς νῦν καὶ τῆς μελλούσης

hē gar sōmatikē gumnasia pros oligon estin ōphelios; hē de eusebeia pros panta ōphelios estin, epangelian echousa zōēs tēs nyn kai tēs mellousēs

πρὸς ὀλίγον — "for a little" — is not contempt for the body but proportion: the exact grammar of evidence-based adjunct care. Some benefit, honestly bounded, within a larger hope.

  3. Tue James 1:2-4
  4. Wed Romans 8:11

A two-column praxis

Column one — the pulpit and the study: careful exegesis of the biblical languages, pastoral theology of suffering, and the pursuit of τελειότητα, maturity, in the Indonesian church.

Column two — the clinic and the bench: pharmacotherapy of oncology, phytochemical evidence appraisal, and honest counsel about what adjuncts can and cannot do for patients.

Where the columns converge, whole-person care becomes a discipline rather than a slogan — academic studies, clinical triage, and a secure distribution vault for digital editions.

Apt. Hanna, S.Farm., M.Farm.

Clinical Pharmacist & Integrative Oncology
