Church sign: The only way to Heaven is through your heart.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Praise the Lord, 15 souls saved yesterday at Talladega races.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Tom Curtis is always a witness for the Lord. Myra is a sweet young woman who is in housekeeping at the hospital. True to form Tom witnessed to her when he first got to the hospital. She trusted in Jesus and was excited to learn she would get a Bible study in the mail in a week or two.
The wait for his surgery was several hours and while sitting in the waiting room Myra saw me and came over to give me a hug. She was still talking about her salvation and wanted to be sure she sees Tom before he is released to go home.
Please continue to pray for him as recovery is not going as well as we would like.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Autumn is harvest time. Usually farmers are bringing in the harvest and working hard to make sure all the crops are safely stored or preserved.
SOS Events ministry is also in the harvest fields bringing in a harvest of souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. Yesterday again God brought in a harvest of souls. Twelve precious people made decisions for Christ at the Plant City Flea Market.
Praise the Lord for his faithfulness and also for the faithfulness of the SOS team who are at that flea market every week.
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Talladega Race this weekend and SOS Events will be there! Not to watch the race but to be a witness for the Lord. Alabama SOS team does a great job and 2 couples from Florida will be traveling to help also.
What a privilege and opportunity to win souls to Jesus. Pray with us that many people will make decisions for Christ this weekend.
Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
The Lord is Good all the time but we praise Him especially for answered prayer. Thank you all who prayed for Thomas Curtis. Surgery went well and now on to recovery, so he can get back to what he loves to do. Win souls to Christ.
Two of SOS Events personnel are having surgery today. Tom Curtis, founder and President of the ministry, for bypass in his legs to get better circulation to his feet and David Dow, display maker and maintenance man, for cataracts.
Both would appreciate your prayers. Pray specifically for wisdom for the surgeons, successful operations and quick recovery for both men.
Modern technology is wonderful but we know who the Great Healer is, Jesus.
We will have an update tomorrow and thank you for your prayers.
Matthew 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
This verse in the Bible has been a great comfort in times of great trial. Rejoicing is a choice. We WILL rejoice the verse says.
Many people, even Christians, go around looking and acting grumpy like they are angry with everyone including God. We choose to be a testimony for the Lord. Rejoice, not that you have a problem, but that you can trust the Lord to bring you through. The people around you can then see that Jesus is the One who gives you joy and comfort and will do the same for them.
“Are the things you are living for…worth Christ dying for?” Adrian Rogers
Recently in conversation, several people have said they need to get rid of “stuff” they have accumulated over the years. It is so easy to allow small things to overtake space in our homes or even our workplace.
What about the “suff” we allow to overtake our hearts and minds? Bad habits, little sins, unforgiveness, anger, sinful movies or tv, anything not pleasing to God. Just like we need to clean out our homes we need to clean out our hearts.
Jesus died for all our sins and He is the heart cleaner. If you are a Christian, ask for His forgiveness and allow Him through the Holy Spirit to take away the “stuff” in your life.
If you have never become a Christian, the first thing is to admit to Jesus your sin, ask Him to forgive you. Jesus died on the cross, shead His precious blood so you could be saved, then He rose again on the third day. If you believe that with all your heart and invite Him to be your Savior, He promises that your sins will be forgiven.
Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
