Words Make a Difference

May 25, 2023
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

On the SOS Events display board there is a question. “Are you 50%, 75% or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?

That is an important question, but what if you leave out the first line? It would read, If you died today you would go to Heaven.

What is the difference? The sentence that asked the question makes a person wonder if they know they will go to Heaven and makes them think about wanting to know how to get there.

Leave that out and the whole meaning changes. Now it is telling the person reading it that if they die they will go to Heaven.

Words make a difference. Change even one word and the meaning can change. Leave a word out and the meaning can change. Even rearranging words can change the meaning .

The Bible has many versions today. Some of these versions change words and even meanings of what God wants us to know.

Study for yourself and see what God wants to say to you.

Is Anything Too Hard For GOD?

March 31, 2023

This question was answered in the Bible when Sarah was told in her old age she was to have a child. Sarah laughed.

Sarah did have a child when she was 90 years old and her husband was 100. The child was named Isaac, which means laughter.

Is anything to hard for God? No. The story of Sarah should give us hope and assurance when we are going through things in our lives that seem impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.

Thankful for God’s Word!

November 23, 2022

God’s Word, the Bible. His way of communication with us.

All the answers to life’s problems and concerns are found in the Bible.

Where did I come from? How can I know what to do with my life? How do I choose a spouse? What should my relationship be with my children? Neighbors? Friends?

Is there life after death? How do I get to spend eternity with God?

All of life’s questions are answered in the Bible. God wants to bless us and He does give us the answers, but we have to be reading, searching and understanding what He has to say to us in His Word.

Today give thanks to God for giving us His written Word. Then make it a priority in your life everyday.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Heading Home

August 26, 2022

When we are on a journey, business or pleasure, the one thing we look forward to is heading home.

As Christians we are on a journey through life. God gives us many things that are for our pleasure. Family, friends, homes, good food, clothing and many things we can enjoy.

God also gives us work to do for him. Love for others, church, witnessing for Him. Many opportunities to do service for the Lord.

However, we should be longing for Home. Heaven. Are we headed in the right direction? We have a roadmap to follow. That is the Bible, God’s Holy Word.

It is important to check the roadmap on a trip, but more important to check the Bible everyday to keep us on the right road.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16

It’s All About Jesus!

April 29, 2022

Jesus! In God’s Word, the Bible, Jesus has many names. He is the beginning and the end.

If we don’t know anything else, the one thing we must know and believe to have eternal life is that Jesus died on the cross, He was buried and 3 days later He rose from the dead.

Once we know and accept Him all the other things that He is will become clear.

Jesus is our rock, our advocate, our redeemer and friend. Look at some of Hiss names in the image above and Praise Him for all He has done.

1 Corinthians 6:11 – And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Listen!

February 22, 2022

God promises to listen to our prayers if we are true believers.

The question is do we listen to Him. How does He speak to us? Through His Word, through a Pastor or other wise Christian, or in a still small voice through the Holy Spirit.

When we pray, do we take time for Him to speak to us? Today, decide to stop and listen. It will change our lives.

Love in The Bible

February 8, 2022

There are hundreds of verses in the Bible on the word “love”. It is a wonderful word study.

There are 4 types of love in the Bible.

  1. Phillia Love – A love that is affectionate but not romantic. This love is usually shared between family and friends.
  2. Eros love – A love that is romantic between a man and woman.
  3. Philautia Love – Is a love and respect we should have for ourselves and the Holy Spirit indwelling within us.
  4. Mania Love – This is a love in which we are obsessed. This love leads to false idols and putting things on a pedestal higher than God

Today we have looked at some interesting facts, however, we can know all about the word LOVE but until we experience God’s love all our knowledge means nothing.

The love of GOD for us is found in the familiar verse, John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
