Do you know the 3 things God can not do?

June 9, 2013

“Do you know the 3 things God can not do?” is a sign on the back of our car along with my cell phone number. Coming out of a grocery store a few days ago the phone rang and a woman said,”I am following you and need to know the 3 things God can not do.”
1. God can not lie. 2. God can not change 3. God cannot let anyone into Heaven unless you are born again.
After explaining these 3 things, I asked her, “Are you 50, 75 or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?”
She answered that she did not know.
When the plan of salvation was explained, this lady trusted The Lord as her Savior.
She said “I did not know if i was going to be talking to some “nut”, but I had to know.” She then ask if she could give the phone number to her friends so they could find out how to go to Heaven also.
These simple signs on the back of the car has resulted in several salvations, plus at least 2 or 3 calls a week from Christians who are curious.
If anyone would like a sign for their back car window, email SOS at sosevents.org.

We are brought with a price

June 8, 2013

1 Corinthians 6:20
“For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
We belong to God because He bought us with His precious blood. What a price He paid so we can go to Heaven. Today and everyday glorify Him by giving thanks for so great a salvation.

When you don’t know what to do.

When you don’t know what to do, wait for instructions from The Lord.
Psalm 27:14 “Wait on The Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.”

Life is Short

June 4, 2013

My husband brought me a beautiful magnolia tree for my birthday. The blooms are beautiful and so lovely to see, but it saddens me that the next morning they are all brown and wilted. It reminds me that our life is short and we need to see the beauty God has given us while we have opportunity. Take time to witness for The Lord, take time to enjoy family and friends. Look around at God’s creation and Praise Him for all he has given us.
James 4:14
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

How Are You Walking?

June 2, 2013

2 Corinthians 5:7.(for we walk by faith, not by sight.) most people say, I’ll believe it when I see it. Faith is the opposite, you will see it when you believe it.
Our Salvation, hope of Heaven is something we cannot see, but we have it when we believe that Jesus died on the cross, paid the penalty for our sin, rose again, is now in Heaven and will return!
Have you ask Him to forgive your sins and are you walking in faith? If you are, God promises that we will see all the things He has promised if we walk in faith.

Congratulations Graduates!!

May 31, 2013

Congratulations to all graduates!! High School, College and Others who have reached a goal with hard work and perseverance. This year our family has 2 high school graduates, Michael Slater and Samuel Williams, grandsons. Both are fine Christian young men who love The Lord and our prayer is that they, along with other Christian young people, will follow the path that God has planned for them. The Bible says, Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in The Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Heavenly or Earthly

How many people do you know that are so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly good and how many are so earthly minded they are of no heavenly good?

Memorial Day

May 26, 2013

Today we honor our military. God has blessed America with freedom for over 200 years. Men have fought and died for the freedom we so richly enjoy. This weekend pray for those that are even now putting their lives on the line so we can pray, have freedom of speech and all the other things we enjoy. Pray for our country and leaders for wisdom to stand against those who would love to take away what our brave men and women fought and died for. God bless America.

Quote for today,

May 21, 2013

“God has had all there was of me to have.” William Booth
He was the founder of the Salvation Army. In those days he took people to the streets to witness for The Lord. His desire was to see souls saved. Oh that we as Christians would have that same desire today. SOS can teach you how to witness to others both one on one and at events.
Go to our training videos, watch them and if you need tracts or materials email or call SOS.

Personal word

May 18, 2013

Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of my son, John R. Slater, Sr. He was a Godly man, a husband, father, grandfather,
brother and son. Also, was the pastor in several churches over the years and his main passion in God’s work was missions. He spent time in Africa, the Philippines and other places serving The Lord and winning others to Christ.
He asked me once if I thought he could be great for God. God used him in many ways with many people. I personally know of four young preachers who The Lord called home early and we sometimes question, why?
God says his ways are not our ways so we may not know why until we get to Heaven.
The assurance of Heaven and the knowledge we will see our loved ones again is the great promise God has given us. So today, I am thankful God allowed me to be the mother of John and also my son Paul who are waiting for me and we will one day rejoice together in Heaven.
