This is a very serious situation in our Country. We are to take care of our temple. Here inNew Mexico many are pushing for legalized pot! What are we doing? Killing ourselves! We are not honoring God!  Many in America are addicted to thinking they are above God.

Do you think you are above God? How are you and the Lord getting along?

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 30, 2019 West Nile Virus Cases Rise in New Mexico SANTA FE, NM – The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) has identified five additional cases of West Nile virus infection in residents of Bernalillo, Doña Ana, San Juan and Valencia counties, since the first case was reported in early August. West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States. It is most commonly spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito, and there are no vaccines to prevent or medications to treat it in people Five of the six West Nile virus cases this year resulted in neuro-invasive disease, the most severe form of the disease, and one case of uncomplicated West Nile fever. All six people, however, have survived the infection. There were seven cases of human West Nile virus infection in New Mexico last year and 33 cases in 2017. Increased rain routinely brings more mosquitoes, which can transmit West Nile virus, among other diseases. It only takes one bite from an infected mosquito for a person to get sick. “West Nile Virus can be dangerous, but New Mexicans can take precautions to protect themselves and their families” said Department of Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel. “The fastest, easiest ways are to use insect repellent and wear protective clothing where mosquitoes may be active.” Specifically, to prevent bites and disease NMDOH recommends residents Use an approved insect repellent every time they go outside and follow the instructions on the label. Among the EPA-approved repellents are those that contain DEET, picaridin, IR3535 and oil of lemon eucalyptus/para-menthane-diol. Regularly drain standing water, including water collecting in empty cans, tires, buckets, clogged rain gutters, saucers under potted plants, birdbaths, wading pools, and pet’s water bowls. Mosquitoes that spread West Nile virus breed in stagnant water and can do so in objects as small as a bottle cap. Make sure rain barrels are tightly screened. Wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Use air conditioning or make sure there are screens on all doors and windows to keep mosquitoes from entering the home. Mosquitos will likely continue to be a problem for months until the first hard freeze in your community. People 50 years and older and those with chronic conditions are at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill or dying when they become infected with the virus. If people have symptoms and suspect West Nile virus infection, they should contact their healthcare provider. Symptoms of the milder form of illness, West Nile fever, can include headache, fever, muscle and joint aches, nausea and fatigue. People with West Nile fever typically recover on their own, although symptoms may last for weeks to months. Symptoms of West Nile neuro-invasive disease can include those of West Nile fever plus neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis.

1 Corinthians 3:9-23, 1 Corinthians 4:1-5

Have you ever thought of your life as a building project? That’s how the apostle Paul describes it. Although He is specifically referring to the church as a whole, the principles in today’s passage also apply to our personal life. But unlike a physical structure that is visible, this one is spiritual, and as such, the quality of the building materials are not immediately discernible. However, there will come a day when the Lord will evaluate what we have built on the foundation of Christ.

None of us want to get to heaven and find out we’ve used materials that have no value in eternity and will go up in a puff of smoke. Although in our sinful human condition we can’t know exactly how God will evaluate our life, there are some guidelines in Scripture to help us live in a manner worthy of Christ’s reward.

If we use worldly wisdom to build our life, we will be disappointed. Paul says we are deceiving ourselves if we think that the wisdom, values, pursuits, and ambitions derived from a world ruled by Satan can be used to accomplish God’s will. Reliance on anything other than the Word and Spirit of God is wasted effort. Instead, we should make it our ambition to be faithful stewards of all God gives us and to live with a clear conscience.

Are you living as God desires—turning from sin and progressing in holiness. Does His Word fill your mind and shape your thoughts, behavior, and attitudes? Are you yielding to the Holy Spirit so He can produce His fruit in you? Each day is an opportunity to build for eternity.
