Do You Believe In GOD?

July 23, 2021

At the Flea Market, a man walked by the “3 Things GOD Can Not Do” display and he said, “I do no believe in God.”

The SOS Events volunteer replied, “Someday you will.”

Philippians-2-10_2-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Preparing For Heaven

July 22, 2021

Jesus said He is preparing a place for us.

Are you preparing to go?

When we go on a trip we prepare by checking the route, making a list so we don’t forget anything, making sure our home is secure.

We need to make preparations to go to Heaven. The only route we can take to get there is Jesus. We find the list in the Bible. It tells us what we need to do to be sure we are on the right path. Finally we make sure we are secure, by accepting Jesus as our Savior.

Are you ready for the greatest trip we can take. Are you Heaven bound?

Read Your Bible Everyday

July 20, 2021

Read your Bible.
Pray every day (repeat 3 times).
Read your Bible.
Pray every day.
And you’ll grow, grow, grow (repeat 3 times).
Read your Bible.
Pray every day.
And you’ll grow, grow, grow.

Don’t read your Bible.
Forget to pray (repeat 3 times).
Don’t read your Bible.
Forget to pray.
And you’ll shrink, shrink, shrink (repeat 3 times).
Don’t read your Bible.
Forget to pray.
And you’ll shrink, shrink, shrink.

I love this little kids song. I remember teaching it to my children and in Sunday School.

It may be a song for children, but the lesson is also great for adults. We grow in faith and our Christian walk when we read the Bible everyday. Remember, this is one of the ways GOD speaks to us. We grow closer to Him when we read and understand His Words.

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

How Is Your Vision?

July 15, 2021

Our vision is very important. To be able to see clearly is a blessing from God.

As we age our vision may become clouded. We may need glasses or even surgery to see clearly.

In our spiritual life we have the same problem. When we first become a new Christian our vision is clear. We want to obey God’s Word. We have a desire to see people saved.

Then we grow older in the faith and we get complacent. We are not as quick to do God’s will. We do not have a vision for people who are lost.

Are you loosing your spiritual vision? Ask God’s forgiveness and get clear vision again. Read the Bible daily and pray. Then use every opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. People are perishing without someone to tell them.

What a blessing to see clearly, both physically and spiritually.

Social Distancing

July 14, 2021

Everywhere we go the signs are still up. Stay 6 feet away from each other. In an elevator there was images of 4 sets of feet and a sign only 4 people in the elevator at a time. Are you social distancing?

The restrictions are being lifted in many places and there is different opinions on if these restrictions should be kept in place.

The one place that encourages us to get close is in God’s Word when He tells us to draw close to Him. No restrictions. Just call on Jesus and remember He is close to you at all times, if you have trusted Him as your Savior.

Psalms 73:28 – But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

A Clean Heart

July 13, 2021

Our hearts are clean when we believe in Jesus, His, death, burial and resurrection.

Then call upon Him for forgiveness.

“Create in me a clean heart.”

Technology

July 9, 2021

Technology. It is amazing. We can be in one part of the world and communicate with people or control devices from thousands of miles away.

Technology can be used for evil like spreading pornography or it can be used for good, publishing Gods Word throughout the world.

As individuals we have abilities that are similar to technology. We can use our lives, living in sin or we can choose to accept Jesus as our Savior and live a good and fruitful life.

Romans 12:21 – Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Christian First, Then Citizen of USA

July 3, 2021


As Christians we need to be proud to be Americans. We have responsibilities as citizens. Stand up for our freedoms given to us by the constitution. Vote so that the government is run by leaders of our choice. Teach our children and grandchildren, first the principles taught in the Bible, then the history of the USA.

Ephesians 6:14-17
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of tthe gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

Troubled Thoughts?

June 30, 2021

As a man thinks, so is he. What do you think about? The Bible tells us what to think about if we want our minds not to be troubled.

Sometimes, we get depressed or worried, but if we deliberately think on good things, God will help us to be free of unrest, fear and sin.

Scripture verses and spiritual songs are good things to meditate and think about. Count your blessings is another way to bring joy and Praise to the Lord.
