Many churches have de-emphasized preaching and worship in favor of entertainment, apparently believing they must lure converts by appealing to fleshly interests. As if Christ Himself were in some way inadequate, many church leaders now believe they must excite people’s fancies in order to win them.

Shock

Shock

  • SHOCK ==============================

You should always treat a severely injured person for shock, whether the symptoms appear or not. Call an ambulance immediately if someone has gone into shock or has had a severe injury. These are the signs:

  • pale, blue, clammy skin
  • weak, rapid pulse
  • vomiting
  • strong thirst
  • severe blood loss

After you have called an ambulance:

  1. Lay the victim down and cover him lightly.
  2. If the victim’s injuries are severe, raise the level of his feet above his chest or head, unless there is a head injury or broken nose, or unless he is having trouble breathing.
  3. A victim who has severe wounds on the lower part of the face or who is unconscious should be placed on his side to allow drainage of fluids and to avoid blocking the airway with vomitus or blood.
  4. If the victim is having trouble breathing, place him on his back, with his head and shoulders raised. A person with a head injury may be kept flat. If you don’t know the correct position, keep the victim flat.
  5. DO NOT give the victim fluids.
  6. Be sure he is breathing and his airway is open.
  7. Try to stop major bleeding by applying pressure.
  8. Give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if necessary.
