Your reputation is what people say about you. Your character is what God and wife know about you.
Billy Sunday
Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Reputation and Character
August 5, 2015Do You Have an Idol?
August 4, 2015An idol is anything you put before God. Whatever you love more, serve more, fear more or trust more is an idol. Search your heart and put God first if there is anything in your life more important than Him.
Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Rainy Weather
July 23, 2015Typical day at the Flea Market in Plant City, FL. Every Wednesday the team from SOS Events is at the flea market. God always blesses us with many souls. Yesterday, after just a few hours the rain came down in buckets but before that there were 13 people who had accepted Christ.
God sends two kinds of showers, the rain from heaven and showers of blessings that many people are saved.
This picture shows some of the people who stopped by the booth before the rains came down.
Ezekiel 34:26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

At Calvary
July 18, 2015There are so many new worship songs sung in churches today, that some of the great old hymns are being overlooked.
At Calvary is one of the great old hymns.
“Calvary” means, the place of the skull. It is a place that is visited by thousands of Christian pilgrims each year, and it is the place where our Lord and Savior’s life was given to pay the penalty for our sin. The author, William Newell, was contemplating what this meant on the way to teach one of his many Bible classes.
As soon as he reached an empty classroom, he wrote them down on the back of an envelope. The words used today are these same words written in those moments. Then he met Daniel Towner, the Director of Music, and asked if he could try to put a tune to the words. After teaching his class, the two met up and the tune had already been written, so they sang it together. It was then first published in 1895.
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
caring not my Lord was crucified,
knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned
—then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus ev’rything;
now I gladly own Him as my King;
now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary.
O the love that drew salvation’s plan!
O the grace that bro’t it down to man!
O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!
Chorus:
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
pardon there was multiplied to me.
There my burdened soul found liberty—at Calvary.

Tool or Toy
July 6, 2015“Are you a tool for God or a toy for Satan?”
This a quote from one of the Benham brothers on Dr. Charles Stanley’s TV program IN TOUCH. The Benham brothers have a powerful Christhian testimony. They stand against abortion and gay marriage and it cost them a great contract with HGTV. Their program was about flipping houses and helping families that could not afford to own a house have the ability to purchase a home.
HGTV cancelled the contract after pressure from the liberals. The brothers acted with a CHRISTIAN attitude and thanked HGTV for the opportunity and did not get angry or retaliate in any way.
Then they learned that the financial institution which finances all their real estate business was going to pull all the loans and contracts ruining their successful real estate business. Once again the brothers reacted in a Godly way. They would not change their CHRISTIAN beliefs for fame or money. “It’s in God’s hands” was their remarks.
After much pressure from the conservative Christians who do business with the bank that handles all the real estate deals, the bank changed and decided to continue financing the Benham brothers business.
Thank the Lord for young men who will stand up for what they believe.
This story shows how far our country has come in taking away our rights as CHRISTIANS. If we value our freedom given to American citizens by the Constitution we must stand up for our rights.
Enough people contacted that bank and the decision was reversed. We must stand and do what needs to be done in a Christlike manner and then allow God to bring the Victory.
Ephesians 6:7 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Happy 4th of July
July 4, 2015God Bless America!! Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!
America has been blessed by the Lord since the founding of our great nation. However, our freedoms are being taken away as the focus has turned away from God. America as we have known it will have the blessing of God taken away if we do not get back to loving and honoring the one true Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Today, stop for just a few minutes before the picnics, parties and fireworks and pray for our country that we may return to the only hope of peace and freedom by the true worship of the Lord.
Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Forgiveness
June 25, 2015“God sometimes uses things he hates to accomplish things he loves.”
This is a quote from one of the granddaughters of a man that was murdered in Charleston, SC. What a testimony to the world of how a Christian should react to tragedy.
The families of the 9 people who were shot by an evil young man have shown love and forgiveness to the one who killed their loved ones. They have followed the example of JESUS who when He was dying on the cross said, “Father, forgive them.”
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
