Danger High Voltage ***Do Not Touch***

Electricity is an awesome thing, we use it in our daily lives for many things. However, there is danger lurking in power lines.  If you need to work around power lines, maintain 10 feet of distance between yourself, your ladder and any equipment with power lines up to 50,000 volts and additional space for higher voltage. Heed the warning signs and DO NOT TOUCH.

If you can disable the power and release any energy beforehand, do so. Metal ladders conduct electricity so fiberglass ones should be used. Don't take electricity for granted and maintain a safe distance.

A similar thing can be found in our lives and can be just as dangerous spiritually as electricity is physically and those are hormones. Hormones are like spent up energy and touching can lead to an uncontrolled release. It used to be a common thing to hear about the 6 Inch Rule which states members of the opposite sex should maintain a 6 inch clearance between each other. This is good for all ages and situations, but especially during dating/courting in teens and young adults.

When members of the opposite sex begin flirting, touching or "petting" these hormones rise creating a dangerous atmosphere for sin to manifest itself in. 1 Corinthians 7:1 ...it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Until you are legally married, that person is not your spouse, DO NOT TOUCH.
