Jesus is waiting with open arms to welcome you into His family if you have never invited Him to be your Savior.
Many people think that everyone is a child of God. It is true that He created every person, however, you are not His child until you accept Jesus as your Savior.
Call upon Him today. There will come a time when it may be too late.
If you have not done Porter Barrington Bible Studies you are missing a great opportunity to learn more about the Bible, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Start today to study God’s Word.
Every person who makes a decision to follow Jesus at a SOS Events venue, receives a Bible study to start their new life with Christ. It is very important that we grow in knowledge and understanding.
Really! Do we as born again Christians really believe that if we die we have gained?
Many people have died for their faith. The disciples, martyrs, missionaries and ordinary people who loved Jesus enough to stand for Him even in the face of terrible deaths.
We Christians, especially in America and the Nations in the free world are soft, lazy and contented to live out our lives in comfort.
What if persecution should come. Are we ready? We need to re-examine our faith. To die IS GAIN. We are going to meet our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ!
Think about it.
We make choices every day. We choose what we wear and what we eat. Where we go. We can choose to be happy, sad or grumpy.
The most important choice we will ever make is to accept Jesus as our Savior. The next choice is a daily one, serve the Lord today in our speech and action.
Choose today. Who will you serve?
Can you rejoice when things go wrong? Sickness, death of a loved one, loss of job, children on drugs or some other tragedy in your life. YES!
We don’t rejoice about the situation we are in, we rejoice that we have a Savior, Jesus, who walks through the problem with us.
It is ok to cry and even ask why, but we should never forget that God is there.
You may be questioning how I would know. I have been through many tragedies in my life time, the death of 2 sons, a grandchild and 2 wonderful husbands.
Tears and mourning, of course, but God is good. His love and mercy are always there.
There are things in life that we all struggle with! Maybe it’s fear. Fear of sickness, lack of finances, or something else.
Is your problem an addiction? Alcohol, drugs, smoking, over eating.
Even good things can become a problem. Too much television, games, anything that we do that takes the place of serving God and family.
Laziness, hatred, gossiping. All these things the Bible addresses. These are the things that we don’t talk about, but they are constantly on our mind. How do we overcome these problems in our lives?
Jesus is the answer. First, we must be sure we know Him as our Savior. Then we must trust Him to help us overcome whatever our problem is causing us to focus on the wrong thing.
Daily turn that problem over to Jesus through prayer. Find verses in the Bible that address your problem. Memorize those verses and when you are tempted to do what you are trying to overcome, repeat those verses and turn to something else to replace that desire.
You can have victory over your problems, but only if you give them to Jesus and trust Him to help you.
Wednesday, the middle of the week. Have you had a good week so far?
Maybe you’ve had a great week or it may have been terrible.
However your week is going there is one thing that the Bible tells us to do. Rejoice!
It is easy to rejoice when things are going great, but not so easy when there are trials and trouble.
God‘s word tells us to rejoice. It is a decision. We can make up our mind to rejoice regardless of the situation. Try it. God is with you and he will never let you down.
The Fourth of July celebration is over for this year. Many people will go back now to the same old routine, forgetting why they even celebrate it in the first place. Forgetting that we celebrated freedom and our wonderful USA.
Some people do that after they’ve accepted Jesus as their Savior. They go back to the same old routine, forgetting that they are now a child of God.
If you are someone who has forgotten that you have been forgiven, that you are a new creation in Jesus, and that your life needs to change.
Go back to the foot of the cross. Ask Jesus to forgive you for forgetting his great love and ask him to help you make a change in your life. He is waiting for you!
Today, let us take a few minutes before we get our day started to pray for America. Land that I love. As we see the deterioration of our beloved Country, let us Christians humble ourselves and pray. Let us ask God to heal our land. He is the only one who can.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
God Bless America!! Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July weekend!!
America has been blessed by the Lord since the founding of our great nation. However, our freedoms are being taken away as the focus has turned away from God. America as we have known it will have the blessing of God taken away if we do not get back to loving and honoring the one true Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Today, stop for just a few minutes before the picnics, parties and fireworks and pray for our country that we may return to the only hope of peace and freedom by the true worship of the Lord.
Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
There are many people from other countries who will read this. To you this verse from God’s Word is true for your nation as well as America.
