Fear Not

July 10, 2014

The Bible tells us not to fear over 365 times, and yet we do fear many things. Children fear the dark, monsters or snakes. Teens fear how their peers accept them. Young adults fear the present, job security, finances, relationships. Old people fear illness, poverty, and loss of loved ones.
All that and more sounds hopeless but there is Good News. We have Someone who is willing to take all our fears, problems and worries. His name is Jesus. All we have to do is give all our cares to Him and allow Him to work out the solution.

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

America the Beautiful

“America the Beautiful” was written by Katherine Lee Bates in 1893 from the summit of Pikes Peak. She wrote the lyrics but the music was written by Samuel A. Ward. He died in 1903 one year before the words and music were put together. The two never met.
Katherine gave hundreds if not thousands of permissions to have the song published in hymn books and pamphlets and the song became an American favorite. Many wanted it to become the National Anthem instead of the “Star Spangled Banner” and the debate still goes on today.

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

How Is Your Prayer Life?

July 6, 2014

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”
― Leonard Ravenhill

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks:for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Work

Work is an important part of living. The Bible teaches that we should be diligent workers. The founders of the United States knew the value of work.

2 Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Stand Fast

Thankfully the founding fathers of the USA were willing to stand for freedom and rights of the citizens of our country.
The Supreme Court made the right decision in the Hobby Lobby case yesterday. Employers have the right to reject a health plan that is against their religious beliefs if you are unfamiliar with the case.
This is 4th of July week and we as Christians must stand up for principles set forth not only in our Constitutional rights but in our Biblical rights.
Don’t be a Christian who falls for anything.

2 Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Psalms 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;
and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Too Busy?

June 27, 2014

“We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.” ~R.A. Torrey
Most Christians fall into this category today, unfortunately. In our churches we see very few conversions, in ministry there are few people that are willing to spend even three or four hours a week or even a month to go to the marketplace to witness to the lost.
Someday we will be judged for what we have done for The Lord. Will we hear “Well done” or will our works be counted as wood hay and stubble and be cast into the fire?
When we stand before Him, will our excuse be, “I was too busy”?
The is always room for dedicated Christians to Serve Our Savior with SOS Events. All it takes is a email info@sosevents.org.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest:for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

We are thankful for the interest in SOS by many of the conference attendees . One of the pastors is going to Micronesia next week and taking the “3 Things God Can Not Do” display board to win people to The Lord in that country.
Once again The Lord is increasing the outreach of SOS Events ministry around the world.
