The Bible is an amazing book! In it’s pages are answers to all of our life’s questions.

Another thing you can do is look up wisdom in the Bible, and all the verses that have that word in them will come up and you can read what God has to say about His wisdom. Also, ask God to give you wisdom, and He will give it to you .

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.

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

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
