Last month Fox News shared how Texas police said they apprehended a “reckless driver” who rammed a truck into two cars and were very surprised to identify the culprit. The police were surprised to find that a dog had apparently set the vehicle in motion by bouncing around while waiting in the truck. Let me ask you, “is there an unsuspecting culprit in your live that is destroying your outlook on life?” In the Bible there is direction for followers of Jesus Christ that addresses a culprit that can wreak havoc. The culprit is un-thankfullness. The means to address this is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

In a study put out last month by JAMA Neurology it was noted that if twenty percent of your calorie intake consists of ultra processed foods you may be raising your risks of cognitive decline. Frozen pizzas and ready-to-eat meals may make our busy lives easier but you have to use some caution. It is wise to watch what you eat! Did you know the Bible has something very essential to share regarding not what we eat but what we think. A way of thinking that is available for a person whom has experienced salvation through Jesus Christ? It reads, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

A study was published last month in JAMA Neurology that proposed that managing hearing loss may help prevent or delay cognitive decline and dementia. Within the study group the use of hearing aids was associated with a nineteen percent reduction in long term cognitive decline with those whom needed hearing aids and used them. Did you know the Bible shares how essential hearing is in the context of faith. It is not necessary that a person literally hears this truth but rather comes to know it and embrace it. Romans 10:17 reads, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Recently three people were found sitting on a ship’s rudder having survived an 11 day voyage from Nigeria. The Spanish coast guard rescued three people who were stowed on top of the rudder of a ship in desperate shape. Did you know in this life we are all spiritually in desperate shape before being rescued? The Bible tells us, “For the wages of sin is death”. That places us in desperate shape because we have all sinned but thankfully the rest of that verse reads, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Receiving this gift is made possible through a person recognizing their need of forgiveness of sin and placing their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior and living for Him.

According to an Australian study put out recently putting the kettle on every day could be key to a healthy life. The study assessed more than 800 elderly woman and found that flavonoids found in beverages such as black and green tea could lead to notable health benefits. Did you know the Bible points out nutritional advice in relation to reading it? 1 Peter 2:2 it is written, “as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby”. It is interesting because the benefits of the bible are like tea in the sense like tea if you just leave the tea bags in the cupboard and do not brew them you do not experience the benefits. With the Bible if it remains on the bookshelf and you don’t read it there is no spiritual benefit.

A number of years ago, while we were shopping, my wife had her purse stolen. It was not ripped off here arm but rather a person bumped into her, managed to take my wife’s purse without her realizing, and then left. It was stolen and she did not even know it happened. I don’t know if you realize it or not but our contentment can be like that. We can be content with what we have or what we have accomplished and then we see someone who has more or has accomplished more and our contentment is stolen. In the Bible, in the book of Philippians the writer shares, “for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” He also shares how he experienced this ability, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Looking back at the Fifa World Cup in Qutar there were a number of interesting upsets. One of the greatest upsets was, possibly the greatest upset in World Cup History, Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia. It was such an upset the Saudi government made the next day a national holiday and gave each player a gift they never imagined. Each player was given a Rolls Rice Phantom. Did you know there is an upset shared about in the Bible that changes a person’s trajectory for eternity. This upset is actually made possible as a result of a gift. Ephesians 2:8-9 reads “ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

This year, a very unique villa in the heart of Rome will be auctioned off at a starting price of 350 million dollars. What makes this villa so unique is that it has a ceiling mural by the Italian painter Caravaggio. The mural covers approximately 30 square feet. That would bring the value of the ceiling to somewhere around 11 and a half million a square foot. That would be quite a site to look up at. Did you know in the Bible there is direction given to look up at something that is absolutely magnificent? It the Bible there is direction given by Jesus Christ regarding his second coming and signs that will be given. He instructs his followers present during those signs to, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Many years ago Socrates said, “Thou shouldest eat to live, not live to eat.” Socrates was pointing out that the most important aspect of food is ultimately the nutrition it provides. Did you know the Bible points out nutritional advice in relation to reading it? 1 Peter 2:2 reads, “as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby”. The spiritual nutritional fact pointed out here is a Bible does not benefit a person unless the person reads it. It is like buying a jug a milk and putting it in your fridge. It is of absolutely no nutritional value to you personally, unless you take that milk out of the fridge and drink it. A Bible only benefits you if you read it.

Have you ever seen an advertisement promoting the possibility of having one’s criminal record removed? Imagine not being able to travel because of something that comes up from your past whenever you get to the border? The Bible tells us of a way we can have our sins before God removed. It tells us of a way we can have a clean record. This is made possible by a person being sorry for their sin and trusting in what Jesus did on the cross as a payment for their sin. Causing a person from then on to see sin differently and God differently and live differently. This clearance is spoken of in Psalm 103:12 which reads, “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
