📖 SCRIPTURE THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
The tree of life mentioned in the book of Revelation is like the tree of life in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2:9. After Adam and Eve sinned, they were forbidden to eat from the tree of life because they could not have eternal life as long as they were under sin’s control. But because of the forgiveness of sin through the blood of Jesus, there will be no evil or sin in the holy city, the New Jerusalem. We will be able to eat freely from the tree of life when sin’s control over us is destroyed and our eternity with God is secure.

Don’t be confused by the scripture below about “healing leaves.” This is not implying that there will be illness in the new earth; here the apostle John is emphasizing that the water of life produces health and strength wherever it goes.

📖 SCRIPTURE THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
The book of Jude was written by one of Jesus‘s half-brothers, who emphasized the important relationship between correct doctrine and true faith. But how do ordinary Christians defend the faith today? Think about these ideas:

1. We can defend the faith by knowing the truth. We do that by studying the Bible. Don’t ever imagine that pastors and seminary professors hold a monopoly on this task. Without study, you cannot know what to defend. You must understand the basic doctrine of faith so that you can recognize false doctrine and prevent wrong teaching from undermining your faith and hurting others.

2. We can defend the faith as we grow personally with Christ. While knowledge is important, your personal relationship with Christ is essential. Through that relationship, God has given you the Holy Spirit to defend the faith that God has trusted once for all time to his holy people.

3. We can defend the faith by remaining unified on the essentials. While Christians can certainly disagree on many non-essentials (music in worship, method of worship, methods of outreach), we must always defend the truth of the basics of our faith as found in God’s word.

Additionally, when trying to find common ground with those to whom we witness, we must be careful not to fall into the quicksand of compromise. When reaching out to others, we must be sure that our own footing is safe and secure. Be careful not to become so like non-Christians that no one can tell who you are or what you believe. Influence them for Christ – don’t allow them to influence you to sin! (Jude 1:3, 23 NLT Note)

🚰 DRINK UP!
In the Northern Hemisphere, July and August are typically the hottest months of the year. To safely avoid dehydration during hot summer days and enjoy your summer, experts suggest:
* Drink continuously: Sip fluids gradually throughout the day rather than drinking large amounts all at once.
* Adjust for activity: If you are playing sports or working outdoors, increase your intake to about one ounce of fluid per pound of body weight.
* Monitor your color: Check your urine to ensure it stays a light, straw-like yellow. Darker urine indicates you need to drink more immediately.
* Eat water-rich foods: Help meet your daily fluid needs by snacking on watery foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges.

📖 SCRIPTURE THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
In an effort to get along with a persuasive person who might have a false idea of the existence of Jesus, have you heard someone cowardly say: “Your truth is your truth, and my truth is my truth.” The great danger of deceitful leaders is that they seem so sincere and believable. They are not easy to spot in a crowd. Usually they are charming and attractive; otherwise, how would they gather people unto themselves?

The Apostle John declared the existence of an Absolute. God is that ultimate standard by which all else can be judged. God is true, his words and ways are true, and whatever or whoever contradicts or opposes him is false, deceptive, and dangerous. Christian leaders, teachers, and parents must engage now in the difficult but critical battle for truth; we all need to stand up for the truth. To paraphrase a familiar saying: “All that is required for Deception to triumph is for the people of the truth to do nothing.” Begin an intentional campaign to teach those under your care how to distinguish between truth and error.

If believers are to invite these deceivers into their group, such an action would show that they were approving of what the false teachers said and did. John adds that a person who supports a false teacher in any way shares in the teacher’s evil work. (2 John 1: 3-4, 7, 10 NLT Note)

🚰 DRINK UP!
Filtered tap water is generally cleaner, significantly cheaper, and better for the environment than bottled water, which often costs thousands of times more and can leach microplastics from packaging. If your refrigerator has a water filter feature you’re in luck, as this may be an easy way to improve the taste of your water.

To safely avoid dehydration during hot summer days, health experts from UCLA Health suggest avoiding excessive amounts of alcohol, sugary drinks, and caffeine, as they can cause your body to lose water faster.
