Do any of us want to go to Hca\ cn'
Who would not'' Let's notice a very
important trait of those who arc described
as being there. Rev 14 12
says that those who keep the commandments
of God and have the
fault of Jesus will be there What is
the faith of Jesus? Faith is often a
misunderstood and misused word,
perhaps 2nd only to the word "love"
in it's misapplication of use The
Greek w ord forfailh is"Pistis" (noun)
and its action form "Pisteuein"
(verb), the noun is usually translated
as "faith", while the verb is often
translated "believe". Both of these
words arc important to understand
the faith of Jesus John 3 16 says that
if wc believe in Jesus we will not
perish but will have everlasting life
Many think that this is merely to
have an intellectual assent that Jesus
is in fact the Son of God While that
fact is true, we shall sec that this faith
consists of more than just a mental
conviction osa set of facts, more than
jlist a passive acceptance of God's
work for us without an active cooperation
on our part as we meet the
conditions for God's gifts to us In
the Old Testament as in the New the
"just" was (is) to live by his faith
. (Habakkuk2:4,Galalians.3:11). Let's
notice sonic of he words used with
^ faith/believe In Exodus. 4:8.9 to
rr believe is to hearken (to do or to
? obey). Mark 1:15 says that wc should
r also repent, while Acts 2:38 adds that
? wc should be Baptized. Luke 8:13
" tells us that when temptations come
,. we shall endure them (this means wc
shall overcome them and notbe overcome
by the temptation). This will be
as it was in jesus life. He had many
temptations come to him and because
His faith was rooted in His
. Father the temptation did not make
Him fall away; similarly wc should
have the faith of Jesus also and not
fall away into deception to Satan's
temptations (1 John 2:3-6). Luke
24:25 & John 5:47 tells us to believe
all of the prophets messages (this
means to study and then follow the
instruction). John 1:12 says that this
belief is what allows us to become the
sons of God. John 10:26 informs us
that wc arc His sheep if we believe,
and as such wc should be willing to
fol low hi m where He leads and guides
? us Wc need to recognize that He
reveals his will to us in the Holy
Bible, for His word is truth (John
' 1:14. 17:17; 1 Thcss 2:13). Acts
' 13:39 says that wc must believe in
Jesus in order to be forgiven.
Philippians 1:29 informs us that wc
will indeed suffer for Jesus if wc
believe in Him; thus proving that to
believe is more than just letting the
phrase "I believe" come out of our
niouth(s). For ifweare following his
will and sharing our experience as
God would haveustodo, then wC will
receive persecution, we will create
enemies within our own households
(Matt 10:33-37), wc may even be
I() 1.2) I ThcSv^ r? Sii>s tlial the
Word will be workiTt? in those thill
believe, that is when ^ve^read and
understand God.'s will for us and
make a connnilnicnl to follow the
Bible truth at all eosls. it is then that
we arc changed into jesus faithful
followers (2 Corinthians 3 18) Hebrews
10 39 we must believe unto
the saving of our soul We don't sa>
"I believe" and then fall back to
where vvc came from, the life of sin
and death Hebrews 11:6 relates that
our reward comes if vvc will diligently
seek (search) for Him (God's
will revealed in the Bible) Please
notice the contrast of those w ho believe
and those who believe not in 1
Peter 2:7 Unto you therefore which
believe. He is precious. But unto
them which be di sobedienl, the stone
which the builders disallowed, the
same is made the head of the corner
We see that those who do not
believe are disobedient and are contrasted
with those who believe and
arc obedient. Notice in the following
verses that the ones considered faithful
were the ones who were obedient
to do God's will. Sometimes even
contrasting the faithful and obedient
with the unfaithful and disobedient
Hebrews 11:4 through 12:2 Galatians
4:22-31 Here we sec the contrast of
theworks of the flesh (being disobedient
to God's will) and following
the Spirit (being faithful (odoasGod
had commanded with Sarah)
1 John 3:4 says that sin is the
transgression of the law Faith is the
opposite of sin. Men and women of
faith trust God and willingly obey
Him. not for any merit by as a love
response to what Jesus has already
done for them. The sinner distrusts
God and continues in his state of
broken relationship, rebellion, and
selfishness. Faith is stepping forward
in our relationship with God
and saying "There is enough evidence
from the Bible and the world
around us that you arc Lord in my
life. I accept your sacrifice on my
behalf and will diligently strive to do
your will, relying on you for the
strength that you have promised."
Faith and grace are not the same
thing. Grace is something totally
outside of yoursclfthal God has done,
is doing, or will do for you. while
faith is something thai you have apart
in. You must take a set of facts,
combine them with your life experiences
and feelings and then you come
to the conclusion that Jesus is Lord of
your life and you desire to do His wil 1
for it is Jesus who said "lfye love me
keep my commandments." John
14:15. John 15:10. Revelation 22:14
and 14:12 and 12:17.

Podiotricion ujith Robaton Hoolth Core j
Sometimes as parents (and as
phvstcians) we base to use our sense
ol hearing to determine if our children
are siek or not Remember that
certain sounds can be a tip ofT that
something is w rong. a cough can be
a sign of pneumonia, and whcc/mg
can mean a child nta> have asthma
And while snoring ts most often
thoughtofasbeing restrict cd loadulls.
ilis seen m chi Idrcn and can be a sign
of a medical problem
Snoring is the sound that occurs
when the airway collapses during,
inspiration (breathing in). Most normal
children snore at one time or
another, and mans. particularly those
who have nasal allergies, snore almost
even night In most children
who snore, increased breathing effort
successfully compensates for a
collapsing airway and both thebrcathing
pattern and sleep is unaffected
However, if the obstruction is severe
(like with poor muscle tone in the
airwav sorlargc tonsilsand adenoids)
the snoring can be more pronounced
and the normal sleep pattern may be
disrupted For reasons that are not
understood fully. disrupted sleep can
lead to growth failure, daytime
drowsiness, bcd-vvclling. high blood
pressure, school failure, headaches,
and other nonspecific symptoms. If
the obstruction becomes extreme,
children max go short pcriodsoftime
without breathing (apnea) which puts
a big strain on the heart and can lead
to heart problems
Snoring that is associated with
airway obstruction and is causing
health problems should be evaluated
b\ a physician Enlarged tonsils and
adenoids arc by far the leading cause
of airway narrowing, snoring and
abnormal breathing patterns in children
Removing the tonsils and adenoids
may often eliminate or improve
tnese conditions Remember, a
tonsillectomy or adcnoidcclomy is
not indicated for the vast majority of
snoring children, and just because
this procedure may decrease snoring
docs not justify its widespread use in
children who arc otherwise normal
A good rule of thumb for parents
is to remember that if snoring is
regular, not interrupted by pcriodsof
no breathing, docs not lead the child
to assume unusual postures during
sleep or to sweat profusely, it is probably
not a health problem. In the
absence of other signs or symptoms,
further evaluation is rarely indicted.
I fyou arc concerned you may want to
makca tape orvidcooryourchild for
your doctor to evaluate.
That's all on snoring See you
next week!
