HIS ONE MISTAKE

He wore his raincoat when it rained.
He brushed his teeth TWICE a day...with a nationally advertised toothpaste.
The doctors examined him twice a year.
He slept with the windows open.
He stuck to a diet with plenty of fresh vegetables.
He golfed-but never more than 18 holes at a time.
He got at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
He never smoked, drank or lost his temper.
He did his "daily dozen" (pushups) daily.
He was all set to live to be a hundred.
The funeral will be held Wednesday. He's survived by eight specialists, three health institutions, two gymnasiums and numerous manufacturers of health foods and antiseptics.
He forgot God, lived as if this world were all, and is now with those who say, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." (Jeremiah 8:20)
For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36-37)

The Doctrine of the Bible 11 - Illumination

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." (Psalm 119:18)

Illumination is the ministry of the Holy Spirit by which He causes Christians to understand the truths of God revealed in Scripture. The word conviction, meaning "cause to see", is primarily used of the Spirit's work in revealing sin in the unsaved (John 16:8). The word understanding is used of the Spirit's work in revealing other truth in Scripture.
Illustration: The psalmist recognized the need for supernatural aid in understanding the Scriptures and prayed that his eyes would be opened. This would also be a good prayer for Christians today as they approach the Scriptures.
Application: Since the Bible was written by holy men of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, it should also be read by holy men and women of God illumined by the Holy Spirit.

I thought this was appropriate as the world seems deaf when it comes to listening to the real concerns of AIDS. "Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness-only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil." (Isaiah 1:5-6)

Seeking Aid on AIDS Day

The CNN special on Aids in Africa was heart-wrenching. The statistics are incredible! Does anyone remember when the numbers were quite low years ago? I still can't believe the statistics. They reported that over 11,000,000 have been orphaned by AIDS in Africa! Think about all those lives affected. 1/6 people have AIDS in Ethiopia.
In Bush's speech, he mentioned the success seen in countries such as Uganda and Kenya. What they don't tell you in the fine print is that they have concluded that only a (biblical) lifestyle of abstinence will solve the long term problems.
The A.B.C.s of conquering AIDS is taught world-wide.
A-Abstain from Sex (and if you can't do that....)
B-Be faithful (to one partner) (and if you can't do that...)
C-Condom Use
The results in Uganda show that Abstinence alone offers any real solution. But the problem is we live in a "if it feels good, just do it!" kind of world. People are so quick to argue for their rights but rarely are responsibilities mentioned. This world is a sinking ship, in case you didn't know it folks.
It is so sad to see so many people who have a laisse faire kind of approach to the spread of AIDS and once infected no longer bother to "wrap the rascal".
By far, the saddest thing is seeing how those infected are treated (according to the program).
"Those with AIDS are overlooked-many see them as already dead-a waste of valuable resources."
Here are the A.B.C.s that truly conquer AIDS, death & any disease:



























"My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. I am troubled; O Lord, come to my aid!" (Psalm 38:14)
