AIDS/ HIV
September 15, 2009
“Why didn’t he tell me before?”
“What is going to happen no?”
“is there any hope?”
HIV/AIDS is another threat to the joy that,Jesus wants to give us. But though there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, there are some definite choices you can make to avoid contracting the disease are virtually eliminated it you do not have intercourse, share needles or get a blood transfusion. This is because HIV/AIDS is contracted through body fluids.
But sometimes people have no choice in the matter. You can also acqiure HIV/AIDS through birth, blood transfusions, and infected needles.
People with HIV/AIDS may feel isolated, scared and alone. We need to show compassion to people who have contracted HIV/AIds, just like Jesus showed compassionto sick people in his life.

HEALTH ADDICTION
“ My friends smoke….how can i be part of the group?”
It’s a scary world. At school, on television and next door,we see people struggling with drug and alcohol addictions.AIDS and terminal diseases. But God doesn’t want your life to be hopeless. He wants to give you a life of hope and joy.
Drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes are a threat to this joy. It may seem like the cool thing to do, but being cool has a price tag.Drugs and alcohol can cause brain damage, smoking leads to lung cancer, and they are both addictive. They take hold of your life until you can’t say “no” anymore.
Maybe one of these addictions already has control over your life. THe good news is that God is more powerful. He has the strength to help us break free from the prison of addiction. Just like Jesus was more powerful than the demons that he cast out you can rely on His power to save youo from any addiction.
