Your Heavenly Bank Account

July 11, 2014

C. T. Studd
One thing everyone on this earth has that has been given in equal measure. Time. 24 hours in every day. How much of your time is spent for Christ? We are banking treasure in Heaven for eternity. How much is in your Heavenly bank account?

1 Corinthians 3:12-15
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest:for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Fear Not

July 10, 2014

The Bible tells us not to fear over 365 times, and yet we do fear many things. Children fear the dark, monsters or snakes. Teens fear how their peers accept them. Young adults fear the present, job security, finances, relationships. Old people fear illness, poverty, and loss of loved ones.
All that and more sounds hopeless but there is Good News. We have Someone who is willing to take all our fears, problems and worries. His name is Jesus. All we have to do is give all our cares to Him and allow Him to work out the solution.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Faithful Workers

July 8, 2014

While most Americans were celebrating Independence Day, faithful SOS team members were in the marketplace witnessing for The Lord. A total
of 19 decisions were recorded from flea markets in Florida this past weekend. Praise The Lord.

1 Timothy 1:12
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

America the Beautiful

July 7, 2014

“America the Beautiful” was written by Katherine Lee Bates in 1893 from the summit of Pikes Peak. She wrote the lyrics but the music was written by Samuel A. Ward. He died in 1903 one year before the words and music were put together. The two never met.
Katherine gave hundreds if not thousands of permissions to have the song published in hymn books and pamphlets and the song became an American favorite. Many wanted it to become the National Anthem instead of the “Star Spangled Banner” and the debate still goes on today.

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

How Is Your Prayer Life?

July 6, 2014

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”
― Leonard Ravenhill

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks:for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Proud to Be an American

July 5, 2014

As Christians we need to be proud to be Americans. We have responsibilities as citizens. Stand up for our freedoms given to us by the constitution. Vote so that the government is run by leaders of our choice. Teach our children and grandchildren, first the principles taught in the Bible, then the history of the USA.

Ephesians 6:14-17
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
