July 21 Camp Fire Smoke

It is the season of year for campfires and marsh mellows. Have you ever wondered why campfire smoke seems to follow you? It turns out there is a reason for this phenomenon. Apparently, it all boils down to physics. When a person stands next to a fire they create a barrier that blocks the surrounding air creating a low-pressure zone. This draws the smoke. This can be understood. Did you know there is a phenomenon from the Bible that the Psalmist could not understand? It had to do with the knowledge of God. In Psalm 139 verse 3 it reads, “You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. In verse 6 it reads, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.”

July 19 Higher Risk of Dementia

CNN shared recently regarding a study that noted people who develop prediabetes when they are younger are likely to have a higher risk of dementia in later life. Did you the Bible tells us there is something that all of humanity is not simply at risk of developing but actually has? Romans 3:23 reads, “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Thankfully the treatment for our sin has been made available and is accessible through the person of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:23 reads, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

July 17 Confusion

CTV news put out an article recently entitled, “personality changes, confusion could be signs your liver is failing.” The reality is many people do not make a connection to confusion having a connection with their liver failing. Did you know the Bible gives guidance when followers of Jesus Christ are confused about hardships they are facing. It reads, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

July 14 Running In Middle Age Helps Your Brain Function

CTV put out an article entitled running through middle age can help keep brain healthy and neurons wired. Apparently continuing to get your exercise as you age helps keep your brain working better. In the bible in the book of Philippians, the writer Paul addresses other followers of Jesus Christ by sharing something that relates to running that he is moving towards. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

July 12 Strengthening Your Legs

According to new research presented last month at the Heart Failure 2023 Scientific Congress, having a higher level of leg mussel strength appears to be “strongly associated” with a lower risk of developing a heart failure after a heart attack. So, in essence, if you had a heart attack it might be wise to join a gym. Did you know the Bible speaks about strengthening ones legs. This was shared about 600 years before the coming of Jesus. It reads, “Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees, say to those who are fearful-hearted, “be strong, do not fear! Behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”

July 10 NHL Draft

The 2023 NHL Entry Draft was just completed recently. Don’t you find it interesting in professional sports how they form their teams? Something I find very fascinating is when a player from one team is traded to another team for multiple players. Something I find to be beyond fascinating, that is revealed in the Bible, has to do with a trade made by Jesus Christ for the salvation of humanity. His life, Jesus being God in the flesh, being of such value, valuable enough to pay for the sin of all humanity. Jesus says of himself in Matthew 20:28, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

July 7 Boy Saved From Drowning

Recently a video of a firefighter from Southern California saving his one year old son from drowning in a pool circulated on social media. The Firefighters Association said on Facebook, “Even though both parents took all proper precautions including a gate around the pool and an appropriate PFD, the boy still managed to get in the water.” Thankfully it was a successful rescue. Did you know there is a rescue shared about in the Bible that is absolutely amazing and is successful for all who take part? John 3:16 reads, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

July 5 Four children found in the Amazon after 40 days searching

Thankfully last month the four indigenous children were found alive whose plane had crashed and were lost in the Amazon jungle for forty days by themselves. The children were 13, 9, 4 as well as a baby who was 11 months old. Did you know the bible shares about a search that God is on? In the book of Luke, Jesus shares regarding Himself that, “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. We are lost because our sin has separated us from God. We are found when we recognize that the penalty for our sin was paid by Jesus Christ on the cross and we can access that payment by placing our faith and trust in Him for our salvation resulting in a changed life.

July 3 Expensive Ice Cream

According Guinness World Records the most expensive ice cream in the world costs $6,380 for a serving. It is made in Japan and is known as “white night”. Can you imagine paying such a price for ice cream? Some people have such a desire to enjoy the ice cream they are actually paying this high price. I would say people are desiring something in this case that would not be worth the expense. In the Bible, Jesus speaks of having a desire that can definitely be satisfied. He says in the book of Matthew, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.” The Bible also tells us that the means to experience this righteousness is through Jesus.

June 30 $660,000 Rookie Card

Last month Bill Russell’s 1957 rookie card sold for $660,000. Who would of thought a small piece of cardboard with a picture on it could be worth so much? In the Bible, Jesus addresses the value of the kingdom of heaven. He shares a story of a man who found a treasure in a field and then went and sold all that he had to buy the field so he could have the treasure. The kingdom of heaven is of infinite worth beyond what we can fully comprehend but we can possess it. Jesus also shared the way to the king and kingdom. He said in John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by me.
