The Bible on Trial
By REBA MITCHELL
Alongr the pathway of life, there are many things some people
are in question about. There are others when they found it in the
Word of God or hear it’s in God’s Word who accept it.
Those that look to other sources for answers can be compared
to King Ahab. When the drought came in Israel, Ahab blamed
Elijah. I King s 18:17. Ahab was the one to blame. Read I Kings
18:18. God is a jealous God. He does not want any gods before
Him. Ahab and his father’s house had forsaken God to follow
Baalim. God sent judgment to Israel because of this-King Ahab
was too blind to see his fault. Many people are too blind to know
the answer when they find it. Wisdom and knowledge are very
essential ingredients for our life here, if we want to follow God
and not be deceived. First, we need to know Jesus as our Lord and
Savior, follow Him and serve Him with our whole heart. Ask God
for wisdom, study the Word and let your light shine before man
so the critics and all others can see God in your life. The Bible is
on trial. As the world looks on, is there enough of the evidence of
God in your life to prove the Bible is God’s Word?
Next week there will be a special question the critics have
dealt with and wondered about.
Scriptures to read this week I Kings Ch. 18, James 1:5 II Pt.
1:5-6, II Tim. 2:15.

Medicare Coverage Of
Hospice Care
A hospice is more a concept
than a place. It refers to the
care and treatment of a
terminally ill patient in the
patient’s own home and
includes physician’s services,
nursing care, medical
appliances and supplies, home
health aide and homemaker
services, and social services
and counseling. Medicare
hospital insurance will pay
almost the entire cost of this
care if the services are
provided by a Medicare-
certified hospice.
Patients eligible for
Medicare—covered hospice
care must be eligible for
Medicare hospital insurance,
and both the patient’s
physician and the hospice
medical director must certify
that the patient has a terminal
illness. In addition, patients
must sign a statement
indicating they are selecting
hospice care instead of the
standard Medicare benefits.
The hospice may be operated
either by a public agency or a
private organization whose
primary function is furnishing
care to terminally ill patients
and their families. The agency
must be certified by Medicare
to offer hospice care if its
services are to be covered.
Patients may receive
hospice care for two periods of
90 days each and for one period
of 30 days. Medicare pays the
hospice directly for the full
amount of all reasonable and
necessary covered services.
Only two items are subject to
a deductible or co-payment:
First, the hospice may charge
5 percent, up to a maximum of
$5, for each outpatient
prescription for pain relief or
symptom management; and
second, the hospice may
charge 5 percent of the cost of
inpatient care (up to $356 for
1984) for “respite care’’—i.e.,
short-term inpatient care that
may be necessary to permit the
person who ordinarily cares
for the patient to obtain some
relief.
National Safe Boating Week
June 3-9
The theme this year is
THINK BEFORE YOU
DRINK. . . .BE A RESPON
SIBLE BOAT OPERATOR.
Alcohol increase bodily heat
production and heat loss. It
does not, as some believe, keep
you warm. If you should fall
overboard, the combination of
cold water, alcohol and
improper clothing could be
fatal. For your safety,
remember to wear a personal
flotation device.. .it could save
your life. This and other safe
boating practices are
promoted by the Coast Guard
Auxiliary and the U.S. Power
Squadron.
