Abraham Lincoln Quote

September 7, 2014

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
Abraham Lincoln
Everyday on the news we see this statement coming to pass. History repeaters itself. Christians we need to humble ourselves before God and pray for our nation.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Jesus Paid It All

“Forgiveness is based on the atoning work of the Cross, and not on anything we do.”
Charles Stanley

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Making Important Decisions

September 4, 2014

Do you have a problem making decisions? Many people have that problem. Godly decisions are very important in life. The Bible has the answer. Read God’s word. Pray. Wait on The Lord for direction. The waiting is the hardest part. And when in doubt don’t.

Psalms 27:14
Wait on the Lord:
be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:wait, I say, on the Lord.

God’s Plan For You

September 2, 2014

”God has a master plan for your life, and that master plan does not change either. It is a plan designed specifically for you. It is a plan that God intends for you to live out fully, beginning at the moment of your birth and never ending until the moment of your death.”
Charles Stanley

Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

Fear Not

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:

Special Blessing

August 30, 2014

Stone! Piles of stone that needed to be spread out in front of the property. We tried to hire someone to come and spread it but no one was willing to work.
Tom has not been feeling well so he could not do it, so everyday for over a week I would go out and do my best but could only move about six buckets a day. We are in our 70’s and things are not as easy as they once were.
I was getting a little discouraged when one evening the phone rang.
One of my grandsons, Justin, said, “Grandma, The Lord put you on my heart, is there anything I can do for you.”
Once again, God showed me of His loving care for His children. Justin has 4 children and a full time job,so we rarely see him because he is a busy man.
Yesterday, he and his wife came over and he worked on that stone. Before noon everything was in place.
We are so thankful, first to The Holy Spirit for prompting Justin to call and then for the obedience and work of this grandson. We are blessed.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Jesus Is Knocking

Jesus is knocking on the door of many hearts today. If you do not know Him, He wants to come into your life as your Savior. If you do know Him, He wants you to be a witness for Him and tell others how they can have Him in their lives.
Watch the training videos on the home page and you will find help for both of these situations.

JOY

August 27, 2014

“If you have no joy, there’s a leak in your Christianity somewhere.”
~ Billy Sunday
Happiness is something everyone searches for, but it depends on the things that happen to us in life, our circumstances. Some people never attain happiness.
Joy is different. No matter what our circumstances we can have joy. Joy is from the heart. It is our attitude toward our circumstances. The only way to have true joy is to have Jesus as our Savior.
We can also practice the advice in this little saying:
J put Jesus first
O others second
Y yourself last
Have a joyful day!!!

1 John 1:4
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Day of Worship

August 24, 2014

Some people are unable to go to church and worship on the Lord’s Day.
Care givers, police, firefighters, hospital workers, illness are some that may not be able to assemble as the Bible directs.
A word of encouragement to you if you are one of those people. God loves you and true worship comes from the heart.
If you are able to go to church be thankful and remember those who are not able to go. Maybe a note or a phone call would brighten their day.
Pray for those you can think of that may not be in the congregation.
If you need prayer Tom or one of the staff at SOS wants to pray with you.
Call 813-784-8242.

John 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
