God Uses The Weak To Win Souls

May 17, 2014

“God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness; let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls.” —Dwight L. Moody
Today is Saturday SOS missionaries and volunteers go to events to seek the lost. Every person that makes a decision for Christ is drawn to the booth by the Holy Spirit. It is He that wins them. We are vessels for His use. Pray for SOS workers today and remember you too can be used of God to win others to Christ. Need help? Contact SOS. Info@sosevents.org

1 Corinthians 1:27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

Look for Opportunity to Witness

May 14, 2014

Tom and I went out to eat to celebrate Mother’s Day.
We went a day late because the restaurants are too crowded on Mother’s Day.
As we approached the restaurant a woman was sitting on a bench outside. Just then fire trucks went by with an emergency vehicle also. As the sirens screamed, the woman said to me, “I really hate that sound, it makes me so nervous.”
Tom returned to the car to get some Bible tracts, and I handed the woman a tract that I had in my pocket and told her, “Read this and it will take away your fear if you do what it says.”
When Tom came back towards the restaurant he also handed the woman a Bible tract.
She was reading the one I had given her, and thanked Tom, because she wanted one for her husband also.
Inside the restaurant after we had finished eating, we got into a conversation with three ladies sitting at the next table.
We had the opportunity to talk with them about the Bible and found out that they had a grandfather that was a godly Christian man.
They said he was religious. We gave each of those three ladies a Bible tract.
Also gave one along with a good tip to the waiter.
Witnessing is something everyone can do. God wants us to have our eyes open looking for opportunities to speak to someone about him or just hand them a Bible tract.
Today look for an opportunity to Serve Our Savior by handing out a Bible track or telling someone about Him.

Acts 5:32
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Got Fruit?

May 13, 2014

“God expects spiritual fruit, not religious nuts”

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:against such there is no law.

What Kind of Influence Are You?

May 10, 2014

Mothers and Grandmothers have a great influence on their children. A Biblical example is Eunice and Lois to Timothy.
Grandmother Lois. She was the first convert. Then the daughter was saved, and finally Timothy. This did not come through heredity, but through prayer and Christian training.
The Apostle Paul wrote 2 books of the Bible to Timothy, then a young man but the influence of 2 women on Timothy’s life blesses us yet today.
Our influence as Mothers and Grandmothers has a lasting effect on future generations. We need to be Godly examples to our children and grandchildren.

2 Timothy 1:5
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

This picture reminds us that when Jesus, the Messiah, reigns on earth animals will be at peace with one another as well as man. There is coming a day when there will be peace.
Isaiah 11:6
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.

Forgive Your Enemies

April 26, 2014

“Forgive your enemies, it will mess with their mind.”
This is a quote from a church sign. Catchy but true. The Bible tells us to forgive and also do something good for your enemies.
The best thing we can do is pray for them, the next is to witness to them in a simple non confrontational way.
SOS asks this question, ” Do you know the 3 things God cannot do.”
Simple, thought provoking and an easy way to witness even to your enemies.
On our home page are 2 training videos that will help you. Sign in to watch them.

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
