By John Stenen There are several areas concerning the Bible where Christians disagree. For example, is there a huge gap between Genesis 1:1-2, was there a pre-Adamic race or not? Was Jesus born in a barn or a cave? Was Mary, the mother of Jesus, born without sin? Are tongues for today or did it pass away? Does God still heal today or is it all of the devil? You may have your belief and I may have mine, but if the issue has nothing to do with my salvation, it is not worth fighting about. However, when the issue is - How do I become a Christian? Then I am very adamant about that subject. Jesus said in John 3:3, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Many believe their good works will earn them salvation, but Eph. 2:10 tells us, that won’t save anyone. We are saved by grace through faith. Eph. 2:8. Read John 3:16; John 1:12; Rom. 9: 30-32; Gal. 2:16; 1 John 5:11-13 and many more that teach that we are saved through faith, not by works or by infant baptism. Water baptism always follows salvation; it’s all over the New Testament. Are you a born-again follower of Jesus Christ? God bless.

Tracy Hansen, Nurse Practitioner Murray County Medical Center High Blood Pressure….. the Silent Killer (Yikes!) Why is your blood pressure checked every time you see your provider? Because if it is elevated, it’s best to catch and treat early, before it wreaks havoc on some super important internal organs! We refer to high blood pressure as the silent killer (sounds morbid, I know), but really, even though you feel absolutely great, the high pressures in your pipes may be silently sabotaging the function of your heart, brain, eyes, and kidneys.
