Who knew? - Can you hear God saying, "I told you so"?
LifeScience.com has a report from Robert Roy Britt about a new study which finds that folk who are church goers live longer.
Britt writes:
A new study finds people who attend religious services weekly live longer. Specifically, the research looked at how many years are added to life expectancy based on:
- Regular physical exercise: 3.0-to-5.1 years
- Proven therapeutic regimens: 2.1-to-3.7 years
- Regular religious attendance: 1.8-to-3.1 years
Seems to me there's a scripture somewhere about long life.... where do you suppose that is....
Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time. Deuteronomy 4:40 (NIV)
That'll do.
