Today is William Slater’s birthday. He is the Chairman of the Board of SOS EVents Ministry.
It is wonderful to have a birthday to celebrate, but even better to have been born again. Thankfully, William accepted Jesus as his Savior when he was a child. So he can celebrate his physical birth as well as his spiritual birth.
Do you have 2 birthdays?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3
Yesterday, this family was blessed with adding this little girl into their lives thought adoption. Both their son and now daughter, who are biological siblings, have been welcomed into their home. Congratulations!
We all need to be adopted into God’s family. There is only one way we can be officially adopted. We must accept Jesus as our Savior.
He is the judge. Someday we will all stand before Him and the acceptance into His home, Heaven, will be if we have trusted Jesus as our Savior.
Are you adopted? If not trust Jesus today.
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Ephesians 1:5
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26
Adrian Rogers had some great sermons which are still recorded and broadcasted on radio and YouTube. His message on soul winning is one of the best I’ve ever heard.
This is what he said about Christians who use the excuse they don’t have the gift of soul winning. “Soul winning is not a gift, it is a command.”
He also said that 90% of Christians have never even lead one person to the Lord. The tragedy is that most Christians don’t even care.
This is a sad commentary and it must break God’s heart. Jesus came to earth, was crucified, buried and rose again that people may be saved. How about you? Are you making a difference?
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. James 5:20
In America we celebrate the working men and women with a special holiday. It is the people who work hard at whatever occupation they have who have made our Country great.
However, there is a special group of Christians that we need to honor today. That is the leaders and volunteers who labor in God’s vineyard who work diligently to proclaim the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
Wishing the leaders and volunteers of SOS Events Ministry a very blessed Labor Day! May you continue to work for Jesus winning people to the Lord. Today take some time to enjoy this day and get ready for a very busy and prosperous Fall Season.
Today there is no fancy picture. Only scripture. The message that the Lord Jesus wants us to see, read and believe!
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Thessalonians 4-13-17
Jesus is coming back to receive His born again believers. We do not know the day or the hour, but He is coming. Maybe soon. Are you ready!
Really! Do we as born again Christians really believe that if we die we have gained?
Many people have died for their faith. The disciples, martyrs, missionaries and ordinary people who loved Jesus enough to stand for Him even in the face of terrible deaths.
We Christians, especially in America and the Nations in the free world are soft, lazy and contented to live out our lives in comfort.
What if persecution should come. Are we ready? We need to re-examine our faith. To die IS GAIN. We are going to meet our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ!
