God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1 (TLB)

Scripture tells us that God tempts no one. Temptation always comes from the devil. God will test us and allow us to endure the temptation, but the devil does the tempting. How do we overcome it? A little girl once told her mother, “When the devil comes knocking at the door,” she said, “I don’t answer it. I send Jesus to the door.” And that is exactly the way to take care of it. Send Jesus to the door!

Follow not that which is evil, but that which is good . . . 3 John 11

We must get this fact firmly fixed in our minds: we live in an upside-down world. “, fight when they should be peaceful, wound when they should heal, steal when they should share, do wrong when they should do right. I once saw a toy clown with a weight in its head. No matter what position you put it in, it invariably assumed an upside-down position. Put it on its feet or on its side, and when you let go it flipped back on its head. Unregenerate people are just like that! Do what you may with them, and they always revert to an upside-down position. That is why the disciples to the world were misfits. To an upside-down person, a right-side up person seems upside down. To a sinner, a righteous person is an oddity and an abnormality. A Christian’s goodness is a rebuke to the wicked; his being right-side up is a reflection upon the worldling’s inverted position.

As the temperatures rise, it's essential to be aware of the risks associated with heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Did you know that heat stroke is a medical emergency? It occurs when your body temperature soars to 104°F or higher, and it can lead to serious changes in your mental state. Symptoms may include confusion, loss of consciousness, a rapid pulse, shallow breathing, and hot, dry or flushed skin. 🚨

If you or someone you know starts showing these signs, don’t wait—seek immediate medical help! Your health is a priority, especially during these hot summer days.

At ARH/ER, we are hERe to address your emergency injuries or illnesses. Your well-being matters, and we're committed to providing the care you need when it counts the most.

Jesus saith . . . I am the way, the truth, and the life . . . John 14:6

With much of society a disappointment, young people have begun to search for answers on their own. Everywhere I travel, I find young people who are asking: What is truth? Who says so? What is right and what is wrong? Is there a final authority? Yes! There is an authority! There is a moral law! It has been exemplified in a real Person. There is a genuine Hero in whom you can believe, who will never let you down. His name is Jesus Christ. He was born into a world as jumbled and riddled with injustice as yours, but He changed it by changing people.
