Sowing Seeds

March 18, 2014

Many of the verses in the Bible can be applied to our lives in different ways. The Holy Spirit uses God’s Word to bring us to the place that He wants us to be.
In context the following verse is talking about our giving of money, however, it can also be used in many areas of our lives.
In a parable, Jesus spoke of seed and the sower as a witness, and I like to think that this verse can be applied to witnessing also.
We will never see God work in our lives to win souls if we never witness to anyone.

2 Corinthians 9:6
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

St.Patrick’s Day

March 17, 2014

It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D. Although his father was a Christian deacon, it has been suggested that he probably took on the role because of tax incentives and there is no evidence that Patrick came from a particularly religious family. At the age of 16, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family’s estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people. Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian. (It is also believed that Patrick first began to dream of converting the Irish people to Christianity during his captivity.)
On March 17 many people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with parades, parties and many other activities.
Much of what we think about this day is tradition of men. God wants us to worship Him in spirit and truth.

John 4:24
God is a Spirit:and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Who is God Looking For?

March 16, 2014

“GOD IS LOOKING FOR IMPERFECT MEN and WOMEN who have learned to walk in… dependence on the Holy Spirit… Believers who have… TAKEN TIME TO INVESTIGATE everything God has to offer in this life.” ~ Charles Stanley

Psalms 14:2
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

Are You a Fisher of Men?

March 13, 2014

As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw 2 men, Simon Peter and Andrew, his brother. They were fishermen and Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Soul winners are made, not born. To be an effective witness, you must be taught, trained and motivated by the Holy Spirit.
One of the purposes of SOS Events is to teach Christians how to be taught to witness for The Lord. If you need to be a better witness, SOS has the tools and training to help you. Contact us by phone: 813-494-7512 or email: info@sosevents.org.

Matthew 4:19

Spring Ahead, Fall Back

March 10, 2014

Time change. One of the difficult things in life for me is the time change that we, in many states of the USA, go through twice a year.
Spring ahead, fall back is how we remember which way to set our clocks.
Man is always trying to improve what God has done.
God created the times and the seasons and before our lives got so “scheduled”, in simpler times, people got up when it got light and went to bed when it got dark.
If you, like me are finding it difficult to adjust to the new time schedule, let us rejoice that in Heaven there will be no time change. Looking forward to that Day.

Revelation 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Jesus is Coming Again

March 9, 2014

“He came the first time to die; He is coming again to raise the dead. When He came the first time, they questioned whether He was King; the next time the world will know that He is King of kings and Lord of lords. The first time He wore a crown of thorns; the next time He will be wearing a crown of glory. The first time He came in poverty; the next time He is coming in power. The first time He had an escort of angels; the next time He will come with ten thousands of His saints. The first time He came in meekness; He is coming again in majesty.”
Adrian Rogers

Acts 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Not By Works

March 7, 2014

Enjoy the cartoon but the message is true. We must remember it is God that uses us as His vessels. It is not our works that save us, nor is it our work that saves the new convert at SOS events. To God be the glory for every soul that comes to Him.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The Cure For Shot Nerves

March 5, 2014

Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.

Ephesians 5:19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

True Wisdom

February 26, 2014

Today in our world there is a great lack of true wisdom. We see politicians make decisions that effect all of us but they don’t want these decisions to pertain to themselves. Some police officers believe they are above the law but are quick to make the average citizen obey whatever they say. Teachers who take advantage of students, etc., we could go on and on, but the main problem is that we have allowed the lawmakers to take God out of our society.
We need wisdom in our homes, our cities, counties and nation.

Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Are You A Signpost?

February 22, 2014

A good witness is like a signpost. It doesn’t matter if it is old, young, ugly or pretty; it has to point to the right direction and be easily understood. We must be a witness to Christ and point to Him.

Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
