How are we doing?
January 23, 2015Looking through past posts, the following blog was found, posted over a year ago. How are we as a nation doing? Things have not gotten better, only worse. Unrest all around, not only in the USA but world wide. Wars and rumors of wars as the Bible predicted.
“The USA is in trouble today because the leaders are looking for wisdom in the wrong places.
They have no understanding of what wisdom is, they seek answers from man instead of turning to God. We have banned God from our schools, taken the 10 Commandments off our buildings and forbidden prayer at public events. Will we wake up in time or continue down this path of destruction?”
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
John R. Rice Quote
January 21, 2015Quote by John R. Rice. 1896-1980
“To leave this matter of saving souls to preachers is not only heartless; it is inexcusably wicked.”
John R. Rice was a great man of God, pastor, evangelist, author, song writer and soul winner. Founder of ” Sword of the Lord” newspaper.
He was a man of few words in personal conversation but a powerhouse in the pulpit. One of his favorite Bible verse was Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.

Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Bigger Than God?

Do you know the answer to this riddle?
A clue is in the following Bible verse.
Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Consider the Ant
January 10, 2015The ant is a remarkable creature–
The most laborious insects in existence. The most highly industrialized. They collect food in proper seasons. Fondly attached to their young. They have keen foresight for others. They work quietly without show. They work tirelessly until the work is done. They work together in astonishing systems of organization to the best good of the whole community. They are ingenious carpenters and masons, building their own system of homes and underground tunnels. They keep their homes scrupulously clean. Each has a specific job to help meet the needs of the community. They fight to death to protect their own homes and young from enemies. Their social life compares with that of human beings in many respects. They are intelligent and wise. They carry out life’s work without being forced to do so by a guide, overseer, or ruler.
In our lives we have people like the ant and we also have people like sluggards. That is true especially in ministry. SOS Events are blessed to have many people who are like the ant. Willing to do whatever it takes to see souls saved.
There are a few who say they want to work but when asked to do something they always find an excuse.
In the work of the Lord, which one are you?
Proverbs 6:6-7
Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest.
SAD
January 7, 2015Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is the medical term for lack of natural sunlight. In the Northern hemisphere we are now in the winter season, the time of year that SAD becomes a problem.
Most parts of the world have three low-sunlight seasons. Some people have proved more susceptible to Seasonal Affective Disorder. Those with higher risk factors include women, those who live farthest from the equator (Eskimos, for example) and those whose family histories include members who have suffered from seasonal affective issues. This causes physical,
mental disorders and depression, and should be taken seriously. It could reach feelings of isolation, coupled with severe hopelessness and, perhaps, suicidal thoughts. Doctors suggest artificial light, extra vitamin D and even medication for depression.
SAD is a good acronym for this disorder. There is additional “treatment” that should help in any situation. The Christian already has the answer and the unbeliever needs to know. Jesus said that He is the light of the world. If you are a Christian then look to Him for spiritual light. If you do not know Him as your Savior, ask Him to come into your heart and life today. He will help you get through times of sadness.
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Leonard Ravenhill Quote

Hebrews 13:6
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Good News
January 4, 2015The first new day of the first new week of the new year starts today. Some people are looking forward to a new workweek, others are dreading the prospect of going back to work or school tomorrow. A few may feel hopeless but there is good news. If you are a Christian there are many promises in God’s Word the Bible.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
If you are not a Christian there are promises in God’s Word for you also.
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
To receive Him, (JESUS), ask Him to forgive your sins, believe He died on the cross, was buried, and rose again after the third day, and that He did, so you could be saved. Then call on Him in prayer.
