Meeting Day

January 20, 2018

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.

Children Your Heritage

January 19, 2018

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.

Be Glad

January 18, 2018

No matter what the circumstance, weather or trial in your life, God tells us to rejoice and be glad. Not always easy to do but God will bless if we rejoice out of obedience even if we don’t feel it at the moment. The key is “we will”.

Pray For Your Pastor, Today

January 14, 2018

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.

5 Questions

January 12, 2018

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.

Illness

January 9, 2018

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

January 8, 2018

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 is Here

January 3, 2018

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;

New Year’s Eve

December 31, 2017

Many people will be celebrating New Year’s Eve tonight drinking, going to parties, etc., only to start the New Year with a headache and hangover. We can start our New Year with a clean heart. Christians take time this evening to pray for forgiveness for the unconfessed sins that we have committed. If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior there is no better way to start a new year than becoming a new person in Christ. Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you and your loved ones peace and joy that only the Lord can give.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
