Key Spiritual Concepts:

(directly related to our practice methods)

Ownership, Obedience, and Determination

We have responsibility when it comes to our health on several different levels. We must take Ownership by counting all costs before making a decision on a matter, seeking the Lord's will through prayer, His Word, and Godly counsel. Wemust also use the authority He has given us to make the necessary decisions about our families health.  

"To obey is better than sacrifice,..." -I Sam. 15:22

After we do this we must be wholeheartedlyObedient to His will.  Whether His will manifests itself through answered prayer, confirmation in His Word, or Godly counsel, it must be obeyed to receive His blessing. Seeking His wisdom is fruitless unless we apply it through Obedience. 

After these first two steps, there is one final step: Determination. After we have sought His direction and have purposed to obey his will, we must be determined to follow through to the end to receive His best for us. Sometimes the results are slow and distractions come along, but we must not let these factors interfere and cause us to lose sight of His best.

Counsel

"Without counsel purposes are disappointed..." - Prov. 15:22

The Lord has also instructed us to seek wise counsel before choosing a course of action. A wise counselor would base his counsel on the Lord's Ways. Dr. Nieten endeavors not to be just your dentist, but rather to fill a role he feels called to as a Godly health counsel.  The Lord has prepared him for this role through extensive training, wonderful experience, and his study in both the Word of God and in health and dental matters.
