The Bible has a lot to say about working and providing for yourself and your family. Unless we are too old, too sick, or a caregiver for children or someone in our family we should work. If you cannot find the job you are qualified for take anything until something better comes along. A young man could not find a job and came to do hard outside work for SOS Events. He was not only on time but would come at least 15 minutes early. He worked diligently for small pay. We prayed and within a month he had a great paying job where he made an excellent wage plus benefits. We sure miss this hard worker. Christians, GOD will supply.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

The First Annual SOS Events Florida Meeting was a great success. Our thanks to Gapway Baptist Church for the wonderful meeting space. The room is spacious and the kitchen well-equipped. Those who attended had a good time. We were challenged by our newest board member, William Slater. There were several Great testimonies from team members of what SOS Events Ministry means to them. The food was good, we were able to get acquainted with some team members we had not met before, and there were several prize drawings. The object of the meeting was to get instructions and excitement for winning souls in 2018. SOS Events would like to make this even better next year by having all our team members, past and present, from all over the USA to come and join the Florida team in February 2019. The date to be announced soon. (The following verse is meant for church attendance but it is used today to encourage us to meet together and help get excited to win more souls to the Lord.)
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Today, Board Members, Staff, and Volunteers of SOS Events Florida Team will meet for our first annual Florida meeting. It will be a time of instruction, encouragement,food and fellowship. A great day is planned and hopefully those who come will get a greater vision for winning souls, encouraging other Christians to get out and be witnesses for the Lord. Everyone who is a soul winner is on the “front line” Serving Our Savior. We all need encouragement to keep up the good fight until the Lord comes and the battle will be won.
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

If we have children and grandchildren we are abundantly blessed. God tells us that they are our heritage. Sometimes they make us so happy and other times they hurt and disappoint, but God has given us the most wonderful gift and also with that responsibility. If you have children in your life the first thing you need to do is be a Christlike example. Love them unconditionally. Then pray for them and pray for them (duplicate on purpose). The devil is a roaring lion waiting to devour them.
Psalms 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Today is Sunday and your Pastor needs prayer. Please do not bother him before service with problems or things he needs to deal with. If you speak with him encourage him. Be faithful to church and give of your time and finances. Write him a note of appreciation. Tell him about the good things his children are doing, but if they need discipline tell him after the Sunday service or better yet wait until tomorrow. Do not go to his wife and complain to her about her husband and expect her to fix him. You want your pastor to be used of God to speak to your heart. Do not get upset if he steps on your toes during a sermon, it is the Holy Spirit convicting you. Remember, the visitor in your church may need to be saved and we show God’s love by our love one for another.
Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Five questions to ask yourself when studying God’s Word from Pastor Jonathan Watson in Appomattox, VA:
“Simple questions I try to ask myself every time I study God’s Word.”
– Is there a sin I need to confess?
– Is there a promise I can claim?
– Is there an attitude I need to change?
– Is there a command I need to obey?
– Is there an example I can follow?
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Many people are having problems with being sick this time of the year, especially in the southern USA. The drastic change in weather is probably a factor. The best thing to do if you or your family or friends are ill is to pray. Moms have an especially hard job to care for sick children and they need prayer and a helping hand would be a blessing. Adults who are ill please take care of yourself, rest and pray. The old remedy is chicken soup. Maybe not scientific but it sure makes one feel better. Our prayer for you is to get well soon and trust in the Lord for a quick recovery.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Monday morning starts the new work week for most of us. If you love Mondays, congratulations, if you dread the start of a new week, remember your attitude has a lot to do with how your day and the rest of the week will be. Christian, today is the day the Lord has made, He says to rejoice and be glad in it. Look for something positive and you will find it. Happy Monday!
Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Winter came in with extremely cold weather all over the USA. Some of us love the cold and others hate it, but the Bible says give thanks in all things. If you love the cold go out and enjoy it. For those who think they will freeze to death, curl up with a blanket and a good book. Be thankful for the change in seasons, it gives us verity in our lives. Weather changes but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
