What Is Faith?

May 10, 2024

How can we have faith in God when our world seems to be falling apart? Disappointment, illness, accidents and many things happen in our lives to make our faith waver.

Faith is knowing that God is in control. Trusting Him even when we cannot understand why things are going so wrong. God does not promise Christians a trouble free life, what He does promise is that He is with us every step of the way. He will and He does work things out for our good.

You may ask me how I know. Today, I can Praise the Lord for taking me through the death of 2 sons, a grandchild and 2 Godly husbands and other trials and heartaches. God has never left me or forsaken me but always brings what I need when I need it. He uses those things in my life to bring encouragement to others. That is what faith in God does for me and He will do the same for you if you have faith in Him. The evidence of things unseen. Carolyn Curtis

Faith

January 26, 2024
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

The Heroes of the faith did extraordinary things in faith and obedience to God and His leading.

We sometimes forget that they were ordinary people who loved, trusted and had faith in God.

The verse for today tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God, but can you imagine what we can do through faith.

If you are lacking in faith, ask God to show you what He can do. He loves you and will help you in your uncertainty.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

The First Hero of the Faith

January 10, 2024

Abel is the first hero listed in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11.

Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve and the first martyr in the Bible. He was a righteous person who offered a more acceptable sacrifice to God than his brother Cain and was killed by him out of jealousy.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:4

Another Great Day In Alabama SOS Events

This precious grandmother and granddaughter

Another wonderful day at the Santuck Flea Market under the SOS Events Ministry tent.

God always humbles me at the way He moves in the lives of those that come back to hear scripture shared and the Holy Spirit draws them to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Saturday 12 people walked out of darkness into Glorious light and their lives are eternally changed.

One couple were 70 and 74 years old so we know God is always waiting on His children to come home. We are so greatful for the opportunity to Serve Our Savior with this life saving ministry.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8

Got Faith?

February 16, 2023

If we need more faith to trust in the Lord, the way we can strengthen our faith is to read God’s Word everyday.

Not only read it, but meditate on it. Make God’s Word part of our life. We will find all the answers in the Bible.

Answered Prayer

September 14, 2022

The secret to having your prayers answered is found in this verse from God’s Word.

To abide in Jesus daily requires dependence upon the Holy Spirit in which we do three things: Walk by faith. Spend focused time. Engage in intentional actions.

To have your prayers answered, you must abide in Jesus.

Traveling Blessings

April 2, 2022

While traveling, Carolyn Curtis and her daughter were not on a main highway but going through a small town when the phone rang.

A white work truck was following behind her. On the back of Carolyn’s car is this written: DO YOU KNOW 3 THINGS GOD CAN NOT DO? and Carolyn’s cell phone number.

Carolyn usually does not answer unknown callers but felt that she should answer this one.

A man said, “What are the 3 Things GOD Cannot do?”

Carolyn explained, GOD Can Not Lie, GOD Can Not Change and GOD Can Not Let Anyone into Heaven unless he is born again.

After a little more conversation, both Aiden and Howie, the 2 men in the truck, prayed and ask Jesus to be their Savior.

Both men will receive a Bible Study and will continue to learn more about their new faith.

It is a good thing to obey the still small voice that had Carolyn answer that phone call.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:23

Lucas 14:23 – Y dijo el señor al siervo: Vé por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.

Troubled World!

March 5, 2022

We live in a world full of trouble. Wars, disease, pestilence and natural disasters.

That brings fear into the hearts of many people, even Christians. God tells us to fear not. Have faith in Him.

Do you have little or no faith? A verse from the Bible for you.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20

Y El les dijo: Por vuestra poca fe; porque en verdad os digo que si tenéis fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis a este monte: “Pásate de aquí allá, y se pasará; y nada os será k. Mateo 17:20

Overwhelmed By Problems?

February 18, 2022

God’s Word tells us that ALL things work together for good. Add the word our good.

You may not realize that the circumstances that you are facing right now can be good.

Maybe it is the death of a loved one. My son died at age 20. How can that be good? God allowed tragedy so many family member found a hereditary disease that could be corrected by surgery.

Loss of employment. God provides a much better position if you wait on Him.

Lack of finances. God will supply all your needs if we trust in Him.

Fear. God tells us fear not- He is with you. 24/7.

Only God knows how your specific problem will work for your good, but trust Him and in time you will look back and see that He had it all in control.

The pain of the situation is still there, but we have a Savior who gives us comfort while we wait for His answer.
