Maybe you cannot go to church because of illness, your job or family responsibilities. God understands.
But, you may have stopped going during Covid and never went back. Disagreement with a church member or hurt feelings. Think about it. Are those really valid reasons for staying home?
We do have many ways to get church services on TV, radio or YouTube. But does that really satisfy?
We miss fellowship with other Christians. We miss the opportunity to see people baptized after they have been saved. Sometimes we may miss seeing the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of others. We also miss the opportunity to help someone else who may need us to be their friend.
Have you ever been on a trip, in a hospital or just visiting but you are longing for home?
There is an old saying “Home is where the heart is”. How true. We can be in any place and still feel at home if we are surrounded by people we love.
As Christians we should be long for HOME. Our heavenly home where we shall see Jesus and be reunited with family and friends who have gone one before us. However, while we are still traveling this earth we do have our loved One Jesus, who is with us 24/7 no matter where we are.
So, today, wherever you are you can feel at home with your Comforter and Friend Jesus but looking forward to the day when we will reach our Heavenly home.
One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat. “This wheat should be planted,” she said. “Who will plant this grain of wheat ?” “Not I,” said the Duck. “Not I,” said the Cat. “Not I,” said the Dog. “Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did. Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow. “The wheat is ripe,” said the Little Red Hen. “Who will cut the wheat ?” “Not I,” said the Duck. “Not I,” said the Cat. “Not I.” said the Dog. “Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did. When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, “Who will thresh this wheat ?” “Not I,” said the Duck. “Not I,” said the Cat. “Not I,” said the Dog. “Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen.’ And she did. When the wheat was all threshed, the Little Red Hen said, “Who’ll take this wheat to the mill?” “Not I,” said the Duck. “Not I,” said the Cat. “Not I,” said the Dog. “Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did. She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said, “Who will make this flour into bread ?” “Not I,” said the, Duck. “Not I,” said the Cat. “Not I,” said the Dog. “Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did. She made and baked the bread. Then she said, “Who will eat this bread ?” “Oh! I will,” said the Duck. “And I will,” said the Cat. “And I will,” said the Dog. “No, no!” said the Little Red Hen. “I will do that.” And she did.
This story was read to me as a child, to teach the value of work. Today I see it from a Christian perspective. There are people who are not saved and many Christians are not willing to go out and work in God’s fields. There are only a few “Little Red Hens” in our churches today. Be a “Little Red Hen” today and witness for The Lord.
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Don asked Tom Curtis (cofounder of SOS Events) this question. “Does God ever speak to you?
Tom’s answer, “Yes, God speaks sometimes through reading His Word, sometimes when listening to the preaching, sometimes in a still small voice in your heart.”
The end of that story. God spoke to Don and he gave Tom and Carolyn his property, where Carolyn lives today and SOS Events office and workshop are there also.
SOS Events Team Members are resourceful. They were unable to take a display board to Montana so they made a poster board sign. Then used the little flip board to win people to the Lord.
This SOS Team is from Church on the Rock in Plant City, Florida and have reported 3 salvations so far. Praise the Lord!
Please continue to pray for SOS Teams as the ministry continues to grow.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12
This is the flip board. Available from SOS Events Ministry. $10.00 plus postage.
An SOS Events Team from Ekklesia Revived Church in Plant City, Florida went to Sisseton, South Dakota on a missions trip recently.
The trip was successful. 21 people trusted Jesus as their Savior while the SOS Team was there. Please pray that these new Christians will grow and they will be attend a good Bible believing church.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24
American is a great country. However right now the events of the weekend have caused heartbreak and unrest.
It is sad when a candidate for a public office is a target for assassination when at a rally.
If you love America now is the time to pray. The next few months are a critical time as Election Day comes closer. Pray that God will bless our Country with the right choice for any of the candidates that are up for election.
Jesus is THE GOOD SHEPHERD, however, someone else is a shepherd also, he is the Pastor of your church.
Pastors look after their flock. That is you and me. They look for lost souls, they bring comfort when we are sick or hurt, they keep us from getting into sin through their preaching.
Pastors who love Jesus and look to Him for help and guidance, they want their sheep to follow Him. Pray for your pastor today!
Many of us travel especially in the summer. Vacations, Family Reunions, Weddings maybe even Work.
Someone who goes wherever you go is God. If you know Jesus as your Savior, He is with you wherever you go. That is a great blessing.
It is also a challenge. If you are tempted do do something you know is wrong because no one is there. Remember, God is with you and He sees everything that you do.
So enjoy your travels. Be thankful for the assurance that you are in the safety of God’s presence.
