Does God Choose When We Die?

HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Many have misunderstood Hebrews 9:27. It does not say that God has set a certain time for each person to die. It only says that each person will die, and then be judged.

Some people believe there is a pre-determined date God has chosen for them to die. 

They don't think they have anything to do with when they will die, but that it is strictly determined by "fate."  High Temperature Grease

But the Bible gives us a different picture.

The Bible tells us things we can do that will shorten our lives, or lengthen them. For example, honoring our parents.

EPHESIANS 6:2-3 NKJ 2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: 3 "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

According to the Bible, what we say with our tongue also affects how long we live.

PROVERBS 18:21 NKJ 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

This says death is in the power, or the control, of our tongue. So the words we speak have an effect on how long we will live.

DEUTERONOMY 30:19 NKJ 19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

God said we should choose between life and death. That is certainly not the same as God saying, "I have already decided when you will die and there is nothing you can do about it!"

PHILIPPIANS 1:21-23 NKJ 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Spray Oils Manufacturer

Paul, who wrote Philippians, obviously believed he had some choice as to whether to stay here or die. We have the same choice.

Even if God may know when we will die, that does not mean He chooses it or causes it.

 This may be difficult for us to understand, because we are bound by time. But just because we do not understand something, does not mean it can't be true. God knows more than we do! God knows the future, but He still allows us to make choices. 

Somehow, not being restricted to time like we are, God knows what will happen in the future, without robbing us of our freedom to make choices.

God did not create humanity to be His puppets, robots, or slaves. We have a God-given right to make choices.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God has picked out a date for each person to die. So for us to say that would be adding to what the Bible has said.

SAY THIS: God has given me the right and the responsibility to make the right choices.

God Is Dependable

With His Word God gave us a firm foundation to base our life on. Something absolutely unchanging. Something God Himself will never change. So we can be certain about God's will. If we want to know God's will, we only need to see what He said in His Word, the Bible.

PSALM 138:2b NLT 2 I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. Apple Tree Spray Oil

The integrity of God is wrapped up in His Word; if He did not keep His Word He would be a liar -- and that will never happen!

PSALM 89:34 NLT 34 No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.

God will not change the words He has spoken. God will never break His Word. God will always do what He said He will do.

NUMBERS 23:19 NLT 19 God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Oil Manufacturer in India

God never lies! He is always alert, making sure every word He has spoken is fulfilled.

JEREMIAH 1:12 NIV 12 The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."

MARK 13:31 NIV 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

God's Word is more dependable than the stars in the sky and the ground you stand on. That will all eventually be changed, but God will never change any word He has spoken.

2 TIMOTHY 2:13 NLT 13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is. Special Fluids

No matter what, God is faithful to keep His Word because He cannot deny who He is -- the Truth (John 14:6). To do anything other than what He said He would do, would make Him a liar. God is not a liar!

SAY THIS: God's Word is more dependable than anything I can see or touch.

How Much Does God Love You?

Only God can answer this question. Fortunately, we have a book available where we can find out what God thinks: the Bible.

(What a wonderful thought that is! We can read and know what GOD thinks! Don't let yourself be robbed of this great privilege by being too busy.) Anti Rust Oil

PSALM 103:13 NIV 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

One way we can begin to get an inkling of God's love for us is to know what it is like to have our own children. Psalm 103:13 tells us that the same deep feelings a parent has for their child, are also present in God toward us. The word in this verse means much more than "compassion." It is a very deep feeling -- hard to express in words. This is what God feels for you! High Temperature Grease

(You may wonder why. I may wonder why God would feel that way about you or me. All I can say is: parents can think their own children are really special, even though others may think they are quite normal!)

Another way we can judge how much God loves us is by what He was willing to go through to redeem us and have us in His family. A lot! Anti Static Coning Oil

We are familiar with John 3:16, but often being familiar with something keeps us from grasping it as fully and clearly as we should. Think about it: God so loved the dirty, rotten, rebellious world of people -- even those who hated Him -- that He decided to suffer the punishment that justice demanded so they could go free.

God loves you -- no matter who you are -- no matter what you have done. He loves you more than you can imagine or understand.

God loves you more than He loves Himself. That is proven by the fact that He put your interest and your feelings ahead of His own, choosing to suffer so you could go free. Engine Oils

How can anyone not love and worship such a Being as our wonderful God?

SAY THIS: God loves me. God loves me. God loves me.

Teach Your Children

Teach Your Children

DEUTERONOMY 6:6-7 NKJ 6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. Automotive Lubricants Oil

God holds all parents responsible for teaching their children. But that does not require some formal approach to instruction. The best way is a natural flow of information as we go through life.

God's Word tells us that teaching our children should happen during the normal events of daily life. We can illustrate truth and apply it to what happens every day, just as Jesus did with His disciples. Anti Rust Oil

We must also realize that everything our children see us do in life is also unintentionally teaching them. Whatever they see you do is a lesson your children are watching and learning from.

If you never speak of God and His Word, it communicates to your children that God is not very important to you. If you don't read your Bible, don't expect your children to read the Bible.

It is also important to mean what you say, and say what you mean -- to always tell the truth. If your children know you don't keep your word, they won't expect God to keep His Word either. So if you tell your child something, either do it, or ask their forgiveness for not keeping your word. High temperature Grease

Don't try to leave the responsibility for teaching your children about God to someone else. You may not feel qualified but God will help you. Just be honest with God and honest with your children, and you will make progress with both.

SAY THIS: I will teach my children the knowledge of God.

Ties That Bind

Ties That Bind
Maya Backstrap Weaving 

Everyday in the highlands of Guatemala, Maya women engage in a moving meditation that is a metaphor for the mysteries of creation. Backstrap weaving is an ancient textile art, pre-dating history. According to Maya legend, the goddess Ixchel invented backstrap weaving and is credited with creating the cosmos on her loom. Even today, every Maya textile design is in homage to the goddess of medicine, childbirth, and weaving. The indigenous names of the parts of the loom, the weaving procedures, and designs are all part of the Maya vision of birthing and the cosmos. Grease

Known in Guatemala as the "stick loom," the backstrap loom is made of hand carved wooden parts. Weaving literally binds Maya women to their land, as well as their culture. The backstrap is tied around the waist of the weaver, the other end secured to a post or tree. The weaver is an integral part of the loom, connected to her environment, at one with nature. 

The textile art has been passed on from one generation to the next, from mother or grandmother to girls as young as seven and eight. For Maya women, weaving is a ritual part of everyday life, done between chores. The textiles created on the backstrap loom cannot be very long or wide. It may take two or three months to create a traditional huipil (blouse) that must be woven in pieces and then sewn together. High Temperature Grease

Despite government restrictions, Maya women have maintained their culture and have continued to create their unique, colorful textiles which are prized all over the world. Though linguistically they are challenged by as many as 20 different languages, through weaving the Maya people share a common heritage. Many aspects of Maya culture are communicated by traje, or costume. Thus, Maya women bind their people by their cloth.  Engine Oil

Backstrap weaving is a craft of indigenous peoples throughout the world. Such weavings are found in Africa, India, Indonesia, and Tibet, among other countries. The craft is so respected that there are even workshops offered in Guatemala and Mexico, as well classes in the U.S. and other parts of the world. SMK petro

Bad Breath - How to Control

Bad Breath - How to Control

Even with regular brushing and flossing, even with mints, mouthwashes and other breath fresheners, are there times when that h-h-h-horrendous h-h-h-halitosis h-h-h-has (ugh!) made some of those around you consider career opportunities in Arctic Circle weather stations? High Temprature Grease

If your mate or colleagues start inquiring about getting your mouth declared "endangered swamplands," don't take it too personally. After all, bad breath hits just about everyone sometime--and, unfortunately, everyone around us as well. "There are so many causes of bad breath, literally dozens of them, that it is occasionally difficult to pinpoint," says Joseph Tonzetich, Ph.D., professor of oral biology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Fact is, just about anything we put in our mouths, from antihistamines and other drugs to food and drink, can make your breath smell a tad uglier. Stress, sinus problems, mouth sores, talking, even our hormones can intensify bad breath. But breathe easy, folks, because here's how to kiss that nasty halitosis goodbye. Anti Rust Oil

Eat an orange. "Some cases of bad breath--particularly those caused by stress and taking drugs--are the result of your mouth being too dry," says Dr. Tonzetich. "Citrus fruits and other foods high in citric acid are very good at stimulating saliva. The acid also helps suppress the activity of some odor-causing enzymes, while the 'tangy' taste of lemons, oranges and grapefruit helps freshen your mouth."

Be a picker. "Probably one of the best ways to control bad breath is to use an oral irrigation device such as a Water Pik to 'irrigate' your teeth," says Fred G. Fedok, M.D., assistant professor of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery at University Hospital of Pennsylvania State University in Hershey. "Using a Water Pik helps remove food and other debris that cause a lot of bad breath." Clay Grease Exporters

Try the baking soda solution. You can add extra punch to your Water Pik by using a baking soda solution to clean your teeth. "You can brush on baking soda with a toothbrush and then rinse with water or use your Water Pik," says Dr. Fedok. "Or what I really recommend is mixing baking soda with warm water, pouring that solution into the Water Pik and using it to irrigate your teeth and mouth."

According to Dr. Fedok, "Baking soda is a great remedy for bad breath, because it changes the pH in your mouth and makes it a less friendly environment for many bacteria." He adds that baking soda is especially helpful to those with bad breath caused by gingivitis. Hydraulic Machinery Oils

Brush your tongue. "Perhaps the most overlooked way of eliminating bad breath is to brush the top surface of the tongue when you brush your teeth," says Dr. Tonzetich. "Although there are many causes of bad breath, usually the odor arises from the surface of the tongue." That's because the tongue is covered with microscopic, hairlike projections that trap and harbor plaque and food, says Eric Shapira, D.D.S., assistant clinical professor and lecturer at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. A daily, gentle brushing (including the top of your tongue) unlodges these odorous particles.

Or give it a wipe. Don't have a toothbrush handy? Not to worry. "Simply take a hanky or a piece of gauze and give your tongue a good wiping," advises David S. Halpern, D.M.D., a dentist in Columbia, Maryland, and a spokesdentist for the Academy of General Dentistry. "Even a quick wipe is good for removing the coating on your tongue that can cause bad breath."

Clean your sinuses. Since bad breath can be caused by any number of sinus problems, some people get relief by "washing" out the area inside your nose where the sinuses drain, says Dr. Fedok. If you want to try it, use a saline solution in a blue-ball syringe--the kind used to clean out ears. (Both the solution and the syringe are available at most pharmacies.) "You'll have to refill the syringe several times. Spray the saline up each nostril, letting the solution drain out the other nostril and your mouth. It may take up to a pint of saline to wash out your sinuses," says Dr. Fedok.

Use the right mouthwash. Just about any type of mouthwash will temporarily mask the odors of bad breath--usually for about 20 minutes. But to eliminate the foul smell with the efficiency of Rambo in a bad mood, choose a mouthwash that contains zinc. "Zinc has a tendency to do a lot of things to inhibit the production of sulfur compounds that cause bad breath," says Dr. Tonzetich. "And zinc mouthwashes don't taste as metallic as copper-containing oral products." Apple Tree Spray Oil

Eat breakfast. Miss breakfast and it's a good bet you may have tainted breath all morning long, adds Dr. Tonzetich. "You usually have tainted breath until you take in some food," he says. "A lot of people who go without breakfast have bad breath at least until lunchtime."

Complete your dining with water

Gargling

. Whether you're having a quick snack or a multicourse meal, a water chaser is the ideal after-dining drink. "Swishing a mouthful of water is a great way to get rid of odors caused by food and drink," says Dr. Halpern.

This is especially recommended after having coffee, tea, soft drinks which can leave a residue that can attach to plaque in your mouth causing bad breath.

Settle your stomach. Indigestion or stomach problems can cause you to burp, expelling foul gaseous odors, says Dr. Halpern. To relieve this problem, take antacids to settle your stomach. Automotive Lubricants Oil

Chew your "greens." Besides being instant breath fresheners, parsley and wintergreen also release pleasant aromatic substances into the lungs. The result: They'll be freshening your breath some 24 hours later, adds Dr. Bogdasarian.

Watch your diet. Some research indicates that a high-fat diet may contribute to bad breath. The theory is that certain fats-particularly those in cheeses, butter, whole milk and fatty meats--may contain certain aromatic substances that we metabolize and exhale, says Dr. Bogdasarian. If other causes of bad breath have been eliminated, try cutting back on deli meats and dairy products and replacing them with more carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Engine Oil Manufacturers

Know your medications. Many prescription and over-the-counter drugs contribute to bad breath by having a "drying" effect on the mouth. That's because saliva, being slightly acidic, normally suppresses bacteria. But some drugs cause saliva to dry up. When it does, the bacteria in your mouth start reproducing like rabbits in springtime. Antihistamines, decongestants, anti-anxiety drugs, diuretics and certain heart medications lead the list of drugs that have a mouth-drying effect. If you're taking any of these drugs, be sure to increase your intake of water. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candies will also keep saliva flowing.
