Bible Teaches
So Hilkiah the priest, and
Ahikam, and Achbor, and
Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto
Huldah the prophetess, the wife
of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the
son of Harhas, keeper of the
wardrobe; (now she dwelt in
Jerusalem in the college;) and
they communed with her. And
she said unto them. Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel, Tell the
man that sent you to me, Thus
saith the LORD, Behold, I will
bring evil upon this place, and
upon the inhabitants thereof,
even all the words of the book
which the king of Judah hath
read: Because they have for
saken me, and have burned in
cense unto other gods, that they
might provoke me to anger with
all the works of their hands;
therefore my wrath shall be
kindled against this place, and
shall not be quenched. But to the
king of Judah which sent you to
enquire of the LORD, thus shall
ye say to him, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, As touch
ing the words which thou hast
heard; Because thine heart was
tender, and thou hast humbled
thyself before the LORD, when
thou heardest what I spake
against this place, and against the
inhabitants thereof, that they
should become a desolation and
a curse, and hast rent thy clothes,
and wept before me; I also have
heard thee, saith the LORD. Be
hold therefore, I will gather thee
unto thy fathers, and thou shalt
be gathered into thy grave in
peace; and thine eyes shall not
see all the evil which I will bring
upon this place. And they
brought the king word again.
And the king sent, and they
gathered unto him all the elders
of Judah and of Jerusalem. And
the king went up into the house
of the LORD, and all the men of
Judah and all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem with him, and the
priests, and the prophets, and all
the people, both small and great:
and he read in their ears all the
words of the book of the cov
enant which was found in the
house of the LORD. And the
king stood by a pillar, and made
a covenant before the LORD, to
walk after the LORD, and to
keep his commandments and his
testimonies and his statutes with
all their heart and all their soul,
to perform the words of this cov
enant that were written in this
book. And all the people stood
to the covenant.
from 2 Kings 22 and 23

Almost every organization has
a motto, a short pithy statement
by which the members strive to
live. “Be Prepared,” the Scout
motto, is one of the best known.
There are also mottoes by
which Christians should live. The
Bible is filled with them. Take
for example 1 Peter 2:17. “Honor
all men; love the brotherhood,
fear God, honor the king.” Here
are guiding principles for all of
us.
“Honor all men.” Highly es
teem all men, women, and chil
dren. They bear God's image.
Use common courtesy and show
respect in all your dealings with
all others.
“Love the brotherhood.” The
brotherhood is the church of
Jesus Christ. It takes many forms.
It exists throughout the world.
This brotherhood is a fellowship

Question From Reader
What does it mean when people
in the Church talk of backsliding?
Response-
Backsliding is simply falling
back into old bad habits and sins.
Nugget of Truth
The burden you are feeling is
only the weight of the Potter’s
hand forming you for His glory.
Bible Lesson
A new believer does not have
to become a backslider. God has
given us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness (2 Peter
1:3). If we sin, we lose the joy of
our relationship with God, and it
is our own fault.
However, we should know the
cause and cure of backsliding.
This will help us to avoid being
backsliders, and will teach us how
to help others who may have this
of believers bound together by the
Holy Spirit. Believers and unbe
lievers alike should love the
church. Christ shed His precious
blood for her.
“Fear God.” The Bible says.
“The fear of the Lord is the be
ginning of knowledge” (Proverbs
1:7). If we properly understand
the world around us, ourselves,
and our neighbors, we accept God
for who He is. He is our Creator.
We live with reverence for Him.
“Honor the king.” We should
honor those, whom God places in
authority over us, even if we dis
agree with them. God puts them
in place. He “removes kings and
establishes kings” (Daniel 2:21).
Implement these sayings.

How
does
back
sliding
begin?
It is usu
ally a
slow
process
rather
than a sudden happening. Simple
pleasures may crowd out our
Bible study and prayer times.
Bad company may draw us away
Soaring temperatures were a
little late in coming this year, but
the traditionally hottest days of
the summer are upon us. Al
though they pose potentially se
rious health risks, the Georgia
Emergency Management
Agency (GEMA) says those
threats can be minimized.
Georgians are well aware that
summer temperatures commonly
reach into the 90’s for days or
weeks at a time. The blister
ing temperatures are often ac
companied by high humidity.
It is the combination of tem
perature and humidity that cre
ates the heat index, which can
result in a range of heat-re
lated illnesses, including heat
cramps, heat exhaustion and
heatstroke or sunstroke.
"We all enjoy the summer, but
there are some serious risks that
we have to be mindful of," said
GEMA Director Gary W.
McConnell. "Some common
sense mesures can help prevent
problems."
The heat index refers to how
hot it actually feels when the
relative humidity is added to
the actual air temperature. A
temperature of 92 degrees with
relative humidity at 60 percent,
for example, can create a heat
index of 105 degrees. Heat in
dex values are based on shady
conditions with a light breeze,
however, so exposure to full sun-
from interest in spiritual things.
Secret sin may dull our sense of
right and wrong. Bit by bit we
give in to the temptations of the
world, the flesh, and the devil. We
fail to speak openly of Christ.
Soon we donft seem to be at all
different from unsaved people
around us. We can see this pro
cess working in the life of
Samson (Judges 14-16);
Elimelech (Ruth 1:1-5); and Pe
ter (Luke 22:54-62).
When a person truly has ac
cepted Jesus Christ as their per
sonal Savior and has fallen into
shine on a hot, humid day can
increase the heat index by as
much as 15 degrees.
As the heat index rises, so
does the severity of possible heat-
related illnesses. A heat index
of 80-90 degrees can cause pos
sible fatigue with prolonged ex
posure to the weather. A heat in
dex of 90-105 degrees can possi
bly result in sunstroke, heat
cramps and heat exhaustion with
prolonged exposure and/or physi
cal exertion. Sunstroke, heat
cramps and heat exhaustion are
likely with prolonged exposure
and/or physical exertion when the
heat index is 105-130 degrees. A
heat index in excess of 130 de
grees makes heatstroke or sun
stroke highly likely with contin
ued exposure.
According to medical experts,
heat-related disorders are gener
ally caused by a reduction in the
body's ability to release heat by
circulatory changes or sweating,
or by a chemical imbalance
caused by too much sweating. If
the gain in heat exceeds the
body's ability to remove it, or
when the body cannot compen
sate for fluids and chemicals
lost through sweat, the body's in
ner core temperature begins to
rise. This sets the stage for po
tentially serious medical prob
lems.
Stagnant atmospheric condi
tions and poor air quality, such
sin and backslides, they demon
strates particular characteristics
that we may recognize. Next
week we will cover those certain
things that are seen in a person
that has wandered away from the
Lord.

as that often seen in the metro
Atlanta area, can also make the
problem worse.
Young children, the elderly and
people with chronic health prob
lems such as cardiac, circulatory
or respiratory disease are at par
ticularly high risk. The use of
some prescription medicines can
also precipitate heat-related ill
nesses.
Prevention is the best way in
which to deal with the heat and
humidity of summer. Medical
experts recommend wearing
loose fitting, lightweight cloth
ing; drinking plenty of nonalco
holic, noncarbonated, caffeine-
free beverages such as water or
juice; avoiding strenuous outdoor
activities and staying indoors
during extreme heat; and eating
fewer foods that increase meta
bolic activity, such as proteins. In
addition, children should never
be left in parked cars.
In an effort to more effec
tively make the public aware of
the threat of prolonged heat
waves, the National Weather Ser
vices has developed special alert
protocols, which are imple
mented when the heat index is
expected to exceed 105 degrees
for at least two consecutive days.
