Creator

April 15, 2016

Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Great Creator, God himself. As I sit by the bedside of my very ill spouse I can view with wonder how our bodies react to heal themselves. The doctors have even given God the Glory for the resilience in the body. We have seen many small miracles.

Just think, when you cut your finger or maybe break a bone in your arm or leg then a few weeks later everything is back to normal. You may have a scar from the cut or a slight limp from the break but you are back to being able to function normally.

Sin is like that. When we sin and ask forgiveness, God forgives completely, however, there may be a “scar”. A broken marriage leaves children with only one parent in the home, theft may bring jail time, drinking may cause illness or death and on it goes. Are we forgiven? Absolutely! God not only created our wonderful body He made a way to be forgiven of all our sins through trusting in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Wednesday Witnessing

April 14, 2016

This past week a young lady named Marci came to our table at Plant City. I asked her if she knew if she were to die today if she would go to heaven and she did not know but wanted to know. I introduce her to Ramona and she shared the gospel with her. When Ramona read the example prayer we have on our tract, the lady “at that moment” prayed that very prayer and called on the Lord. Ramona asked her, “Did you just pray that prayer?” and she smiled and said yes! They both rejoiced!
This is a salvation story from Randy and Romona Thomas, missionaries of SOS Events ministry. The Plant City Flea Market is every Wednesday and hundreds of people are saved each year at this event. To God be the Glory for His faithfulness. When we go to witness God brings the results for He is not willing that anyone perish.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Live for Jesus

April 13, 2016

“We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.”  Adrian Rogers

2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

God is Good

April 12, 2016

God is good all the time is an expression that is heard many times by Christians. Do we just say things that are popular or do we really mean what we say?

A personal note today. Can we say God is good when admitted to the hospital for the 4th time in six months, when a wound will not heal and the body is weak? Tom Curtis is in the hospital again and his exact quote, “God brings me closer and He brings sunshine into my day. It gives me time to pray for others.”

May we as Christians realize that God IS good and will not give us more than we can handle. Tom will also use this time to witness to nurses and caregivers as this is where his heart is.

Psalms 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

God Is

April 11, 2016

All knowing John 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things

All powerful Luke 9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. 

Always present Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Always truthful Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Always the same Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not;

Give God the Glory

April 10, 2016

Praise the Lord on this Lord’s Day.

Psalms 29:2
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name;worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Stressed?

April 9, 2016

Stressed? We live in a world where situations bring on stress all around us. Maybe it is at the workplace,  sick children, car problems, a spouse or sibling with a severe disease or worry over the unrest in the world. All we have to do is listen to the news to hear the conditions that would cause stress.

Maybe it is a good thing that is causing your stress, graduation, wedding, new baby or an upcoming family reunion.

There is an answer that comes from the greatest source, the Bible: 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Catherine

April 8, 2016

Catherine is one of our wonderful, faithful Senior Servants. She is now moving on to a new phase of her life. She is moving to North Carolina to be close to here daughter and we at SOS Events want to wish her well. Knowing her she will find a place in her new home that she can continue to work for the Lord.

I like to call her one of the 3 Musketeers because she always comes with two of her friends, Caroline and Sarah to work. These 3 ladies are amazing. In the summer when Senior Servants do not meet because of the heat and many go away for the summer, these ladies insist on coming and working anyway. She has been a blessing to SOS Events.

Catherine, we love you and you will be missed.

Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

What Would You Do?

April 7, 2016

What would you do differently if you knew Jesus was coming today?

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.
