Stressed?

April 9, 2016

Stressed? We live in a world where situations bring on stress all around us. Maybe it is at the workplace,  sick children, car problems, a spouse or sibling with a severe disease or worry over the unrest in the world. All we have to do is listen to the news to hear the conditions that would cause stress.

Maybe it is a good thing that is causing your stress, graduation, wedding, new baby or an upcoming family reunion.

There is an answer that comes from the greatest source, the Bible: 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

10 Blessings

March 19, 2016

God gives His children many blessings. The challenge for you today is to stop and name ten blessings the Lord has given you. It would be a good idea to do that daily. Sometimes we as Christians can be negative. Let’s look at the positive every day and our negativity will disappear.

My ten blessings for today are as follows:

1. Salvation (He took me out of the mire and placed me on solid ground)

2. The Bible (my guidebook for living)

3. Prayer (He hears and answers)

4. My spouse (my friend, companion, helper, lover)

5. Children (sons and daughters who love me and are there in times of joy and sorrow)

6. Grandchildren (the little ones make me smile and the older ones give me joy as they serve the Lord)

7. Great grandchildren (it is a blessing to see them born and watch them grow)

8. The promise of Heaven (many of my loved ones have gone on but I will see them again, glad reunion)

9. Friends (people who love me and stick by me through whatever happens, most of all they pray for me)

10. SOS Events ministry (many opportunities to see people come to Christ and a way I can serve the Lord)

These are only 10 of the many blessings God has given me. How about you?

Psalms 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Asking for Prayer

March 1, 2016

There are many of you who are blessed through the blog and today I am asking for your help. Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Evevts ministry has been fighting to recover from surgery since mid October 2015. Three of the incisions have not healed on his left leg. He is in need of prayer for healing. One doctor has operated twice and we need to have a different opinion and it becomes a difficult situation because doctors do not like to take over another doctor’s patient. We know that Jesus is the true healer and He can bring healing quickly through our prayers.

Tom is the most dedicated soul winner, leader, husband, father and friend and he is needed in the ministry as well as on the home front. Please pray for him today even if it is just one time right now. God does answer prayer of His children.

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.

The Bible

February 25, 2016

“THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN TRUST IN THIS CHANGING WORLD!” This is a quote from a church sign but so true. The world around us may be changing faster than we ever expected but the Bible is always true, consistent and our handbook to get through the changes in the world situation and even the changes in our personal lives.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Favorite Bible Verse

February 21, 2016

Do you have a favorite Bible verse? Every Christian should have a life verse or a scripture that in good times or trials that verse or section of scripture will come to mind to help and comfort or help you rejoice.

My favorite is Proverbs 3:5&6. These two verses have guided me through many things in life and always remind me to trust in the Lord and He will direct and bring me through.

What is your favorite? You can comment on the blog and give your verse there. We would love to know what scripture that you love.

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.

Word Study

February 17, 2016

Have you ever done a word study in the Bible? Maybe it is something you are thinking about or have an interest in. Love is a great one to start with. Go to a concordance or download a Bible on your computer and just type in a word in the search option. 

Sleep is my word study today, probably because it is difficult to stay asleep because of a cough. Just a few verses to help you realize what a neat way to study God’s Word.

Genesis 2:21-22 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Proverbs 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

1 Thessalonians 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Bad or Good?

January 28, 2016

“There is nobody so bad that they can’t be saved and nobody so good that they don’t need to be saved.”                                         Adrian Rogers

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Politics

January 18, 2016

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.

Opportunity for Study

January 8, 2016

What a wonderful time of food and fellowship at Evangelical College and Seminary in Plant City, Florida last evening. This gathering was to meet with teachers, students and friends of the school. Dr. Wallace Lont welcomed everyone and Dr.Gary Williams gave a wonderful overview of where we are in God’s plan for the world. 

The spring semester begins Monday, January 11. The purpose of ECS is to help believers to develop a deeper understanding of God’s Word and experience God’s transforming power in their lives.

This semester SOS Events will have a part teaching Evangelism and Decipleship on Tuesday mornings starting Tuesday, Januay 12 at 9 am. Tom and Carolyn Curtis will be teaching not only in the classroom but there will be opportunity for witnessing and follow up for each student in the class. This is a great step for SOS Events and a long time answer to prayer as God laid the desire to teach evangelism in Tom and Carolyn’s hearts many years ago.

If you live near Plant City, Lakeland, Brandon or Tampa area in Florida and want to further your education check out ECS website for more information. http://www.Evangelical-College.org. 

Please pray for ECS, the teachers and students as the spring semester begins.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
