August 12 – Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the decay of uranium. The gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless, so the only way to find it is through testing. Health Canada estimates about 16% of lung cancer deaths in Canada are related to exposure to t his gas. Many people are unaware of this potential killer, iin spite of the fact that testing kits are readily available. How careless we humans can be. In relation to our spiritual well being, it is a similar but more serious situation. That’s because the Bible clearly states that all of us have siined, and that salvation comes to us only when we become properly related to Jesus Christ by faith. The Word of God also exhorts us not to put off our acceptance of God’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Sadly, so many choose to remain in ignorance, depending on their own self righteousness. This ultimately leads to spiritual death. How sad, since Jesus loves us all and extends an invitation to everyone to accept His generous gift.
