God’s Promises

June 21, 2016

There are literally hundreds of promises in the Bible. God’s Word is true. He can not lie. We can read the promises ourselves and know that God will do as He promised. Need an answer for a problem? Find a promise in the Bible, pray about it and God will keep His promise to you.
2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

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.

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.

Stressed?

April 9, 2016

Stressed? We live in a world where situations bring on stress all around us. Maybe it is at the workplace,  sick children, car problems, a spouse or sibling with a severe disease or worry over the unrest in the world. All we have to do is listen to the news to hear the conditions that would cause stress.

Maybe it is a good thing that is causing your stress, graduation, wedding, new baby or an upcoming family reunion.

There is an answer that comes from the greatest source, the Bible: 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

The Bible

February 25, 2016

“THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN TRUST IN THIS CHANGING WORLD!” This is a quote from a church sign but so true. The world around us may be changing faster than we ever expected but the Bible is always true, consistent and our handbook to get through the changes in the world situation and even the changes in our personal lives.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Favorite Bible Verse

February 21, 2016

Do you have a favorite Bible verse? Every Christian should have a life verse or a scripture that in good times or trials that verse or section of scripture will come to mind to help and comfort or help you rejoice.

My favorite is Proverbs 3:5&6. These two verses have guided me through many things in life and always remind me to trust in the Lord and He will direct and bring me through.

What is your favorite? You can comment on the blog and give your verse there. We would love to know what scripture that you love.

Proverbs 3:5&6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

James, Son of Zebedee

February 12, 2016

Matthew 4:21
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

James, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, was also a fisherman like Andrew and Peter. He had a rough temperament and history tells us that fishermen were of the lower class of people in that day. He and his brother, John were called “sons of thunder”. He also left his occupation immediately and followed Jesus.

He became one of the disciples that was closest to Jesus and was present at some of the miracles that many of the other disciples did not see.

He preached boldly and was outspoken and was beheaded by Herod. James was the first of the 12 to be martyred.

Simon Peter

February 10, 2016

The Bible gives an account of how Jesus chose His disciples. In Mark 1:16 and 17 Simon  and Andrew are chosen.

They were just common men, brothers, who earned their living catching fish. Jesus told them to follow Him and they would become fishers of men. 

Simon was a impetuous man, bold, boisterous had a temper. Jesus changed his name to Peter. Peter was always putting his foot in his mouth but one thing about Peter was that when Jesus told them (Peter and Andrew) to “follow me” they simply walked away and left everything they had without a second thought.

Peter also was the disciple who denied Jesus 3 times and wept bitterly over his betrayal of his Savior. Even with all his faults and sins, Peter became one of the greatest witnesses. He was the first one to preach on the day of Pentecost after the coming of the Holy Spirit and he was the first one to proclaim Christ to a Gentile. He was one of the boldest apostles of all. He willingly suffered persecution, imprisonment, beatings, and even rejoiced at the fact that he was worthy to suffer disgrace for the Lord‘s sake.

Jesus changed the life of an ordinary man into one who became a great witness for the Lord. Jesus is still changing lives today and through the power of the Holy Spirit we too can become great witnesses for Him.

Mark 1:16-17 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.


Worry

February 9, 2016

SOS Events is blessed to have many volunteers to help in the ministry. Our Senior Servant ladies are a good example of some of those people. Knowing that everyday we share something on the blog, some of the ladies bring little sayings to share with others. Thank you Nancy for the following  saying:

“Worry is like a rocking chair–it give you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere.”

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