Priority 

June 20, 2016

God’s Word and your prayer should be the priority in your life. Get up 15 minutes early everyday to spend time alone with God and your day will go much smoother. If you are not in the habit of having devotions early in the morning, try it and see how you will be blessed.

Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Successful Fathers

June 19, 2016

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads who read this post. Just another anonymous quote.

“If you want to be a successful father, play by God’s rules.”

Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

A Christian Father

June 18, 2016

“The Word of God is our chart and compass as Christian Fathers. Without it we lose our way.” Anonymous 

A Christian father has a responsibility to teach his children the Word of God. To often in today’s world that training is left to Sunday school, Christian school, Grandma or neglected altogether. Getting the family together for Bible reading and prayer daily is the way to rear children who will not loose their way as teenagers and adults. Dads, it is not to late to start now.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Hard Things

June 17, 2016

Sometimes as Christians we have to do things that are really hard. Standing for your convictions when everyone else is going along with the crowd. Telling the truth when it would be easier to not say anything to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. Witnessing to a close friend or relative when you know they will reject the gospel. Forgiving someone who has seriously hurt you.

These are just a few things that we may be called on to do. But we have the power and strength to do whatever is hard because God is with us in every situation and will bless our efforts when we follow Biblical principles. If we pray about those hard things and trust God to help us do the right thing, He does give the power and strength to do them.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Fruitful Labour

June 16, 2016

In Florida, God blesses SOS Events every week with decisions to follow Jesus. This week at the Plant City Flea Market 3 teenagers and 2 adults were saved. 

Praise the Lord for the souls that are saved and for the faithful workers who sacrifice to be there every week. 


1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Worldly Christians

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

A Special Find

June 14, 2016

“God Will Carry You Through” is the title of a book by Max Lucado. Not necessarily one of my favorite authors but I found this book on my bookshelf with a personal note from my husband, Tom Curtis, who went home to be with the Lord one month ago today. (This book sat on the shelf for 2 years and I never picked it up until today)

How special and wonderful is the Lord. The note said, “The Lord showed me this book. Read it before you write the blog. I love you. Tom

How perfect. The blessing is to know That God will carry me through and He will carry you through each problem and difficulty in life. The Bible has so many wonderful verses to help in every situation. All we have to do is trust Him and claim the promises in His Word.

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

Salvation Testimony

June 13, 2016

 A brother and a sister were walking by us along with their Mom’s boyfriend and decided to stop and hear the three things God cannot do. They were vendors, a few spots down from us. The dad permitted them to talk to us. The kids were so sweet and right away accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Later, they brought Mom to us and she spoke Portugese and very little English. She was also sweet and conversed with us and accepted Lord Jesus. She spoke her testimony in a video. Praise God for her testimony.
This is a testimony from Columbus Farmers Market in New Jersey. Praise the Lord for new salvations. The Bible tells us to go into all the world, but at events He sends people from other countries to the SOS Events booth.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Name of Jesus

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
