Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist before he was a disciple of Jesus. Andrew, like his brother Peter, was a fisherman by trade, meaning that he was an outdoorsman and must have been very physically fit. He was exposed to the conditions and had learned a trade that was also physically demanding.
Andrew and Simon were called by Jesus when they were fishing. They left their nets and followed Him leaving everything behind.
Andrew brought others to Christ, his brother Peter before Jesus made them disciples and the the little boy who had five loaves and two fishes.
Andrew was a great example of what we should be as followers of Jesus.
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

“God help me be the person my dog thinks I am.” This is a church sign with a lot of truth.
If you have a dog, you feed him, provide shelter, love him, watch that he is comfortable and he or she is your companion and friend.
A dog is loyal, loves you no matter what, is waiting and rejoices when you come home, is a true friend.
Our relationship with God should be the same. He takes care of us, provides food and shelter, loves us, watches over us and is always our companion and friend.
We should take a lesson from our pets. We should love God with all our heart, be loyal, watch for the Lord to come back and rejoice in His presence.
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all my mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

January is almost over in a presidential election year. TV, radio, newspapers and magazines seem to have one theme, the election. As an American I want to be informed but get weary of hearing the same thing over and over again.
Each candidate say they have the answer for our country, but the Bible has only one solution to the problems in any nation.
Christians can make a difference in the nation that you reside. The Bible says we must humble ourselves, seek God’s face and He will heal our land. It is our responsibility to be informed, vote, but the most important thing that we can do is put God first in our lives, Love and honor Him and trust Him for the results.
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.

Quite frequently Tom will wait in the car while Carolyn goes shopping. Always looking for someone to witness to, Tom saw a young man collecting the grocery carts to take them inside. Tom called him over to the car.
Tom was going to hand him my tract, and decided to carry on the conversation a little longer. Tom asked the young man whose name is Christian if he was 50, 75, or 100% sure he was on his way to heaven.
Christian said, “I am not sure at all.”
Tom then proceeded to lead Christian into the plan of salvation and Christian gladly accepted the Lord. All of this took place in less than five minutes.
Usually when a person is working handing them tract is all that should be done because we would not want anyone to have a problem with their employer. But Christian was working outside that day and the conversation was very short.
Tom did not get Christian’s full address because of the time but did get his phone number and will follow up.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Winners are losers who gave it one more try.
There is an insurance company in town that always has a interesting saying written on their sign. This one caught my eye because it reminded me of the Christian life.
God never promised that when we get saved our life will be easy. In fact the devil will attack a Christian and try to make him or her ineffective for the Lord. God did promise that He will go through our trials and testing. It is our responsibility to keep on serving Him no matter what the circumstances.
If you seem to be at a place where nothing is working in your Christian life, give it one more try. The biggest thing to remember is don’t quit. Some of the greatest inventors, statesmen, preachers and musicians failed many times befor they became successful at the goal they were trying to reach.
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

As a citizen of the USA we have a responsibility to be informed about the issues the people running for president and other offices in our government. As a Christian we have the responsibility to love one another.
Having watched all the current debates both Democratic and Republican I see that the candidates have many different opinions on how they are going to run the country if they are elected.
Christians also have many different opinions on who should be the next president. Sometimes our opinions are voiced in heated discussions and even arguments. We must be careful not to offend a Christian brother or sister because it can cause unrepairable damage in our homes, churches and friendships. It is better to agree to disagree than to fight among ourselves.
Keep informed, pray for our government and leaders and get out and vote. The most important thing is to love one another. Remember God is still on the throne. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. Let us not let politics separate the love we have for one another.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Christian life is like running a marathon. First a person must decide to run in the race.
The day we accept Jesus Christ as payment for our sin is the decision to begin the Christian race.
The marathon runner must train. Our training as a Christian begins by Bible reading, prayer, church, learning to witness and obeying God.
Proper food is very important to the marathon runner. The right amount of vitamins and carbs are important to be able to have strength to finish the race. The Christian must have proper food also. We get our strength from the Word of God the Bible and direction from the Holy Spirit.
Running in a marathon is not easy, there are health risks involved but the runner gladly accepts the risks to finish the course. The Christian race is not easy either but we must decide to finish our course.
How are you doing in your Christian race? The marathon runner does not give up or quit and as a Christian we must not quit serving the Lord no matter how long or hard life may become. Our prize is worth much more than the marathon winners. Our prize is our Savior telling us, Well done thy good and faithful servant. Matthew 22:21
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

What’s in your wallet? What you carry in your wallet or purse can make a great difference in someone’s life.
Every Christian should carry tracts wherever you go. Keep one or two in your wallet. Several in your purse. Always have them in your car, but don’t leave them there.
When you are in a grocery store, market, work, school just say sweetly “I have something for you to read.”
Most everyone will accept a tract and it is a way to tell others how they can go to Heaven.
If you need tracts, contact SOS Events and we will send you 10 tracts free.

Have you ever heard the fable of the turtle and the hare? They were in a race and the rabbit got so far ahead he thought he would rest awhile, but the turtle kept his steady pace passed the rabbit and won the race.
The big events are like the rabbit. Fairs, Strawberry Festival and other events with Thousands of people in attendance. Usually these events will have between 200 to 600 people saved. Praise the Lord.
The Wednesday flea market is like the turtle. Every week faithful workers go early (between 5 and 6 am) in the morning to set up the tent and displays. Sometimes as few as 3 people get saved and some weeks 20 or 30. It all adds up and in 2015 over 750 decisions were recorded.
The turtle just kept on going in a steady pace and won. SOS Events faithful workers just keep on going and God brings blessings to them each week.
SOS is thankful for all events and all workers. Some of our workers will work once or twice a year at the “big” rabbit events but it is the Wednesday “turtle” workers who see the most people make decisions at the end of the year.
Every Christian is in the race. Are you the “turtle” or the “hare”?
1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

“Worship in the truest sense takes place only when our full attention is on GOD – on His glory, power, majesty, love and compassion.” – Billy Graham
Are you a true worshiper of God? Our minds tend to wander when we are listening to a sermon, praying or reading scripture. We must give God our full attention when we are coming to Him in worship. Focus on God today and think of what He has done and more importantly who He is.
Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
