Needed Prayer! Today is our last training for soul winners for the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. The Festival starts Thursday and SOS is still in need of Christians to be a witnesses.
Pray with us that laborers will come to help us and then pray for SOULS to be saved.
This is a great opportunity as people from many states and even several countries come to the Strawberry Festival every year.
James 5:16B
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
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.
Are you motivated from passionately sitting to positively sharing?
God commands every Christian to be a witness. Most think going to church, tithing and doing good works is enough.
If we truly loved our neighbor as the Bible commands we would share the gospel with them and give them the opportunity to be saved.
Our neighbor is anyone who we come in contact with in our daily walk.
The least you can do is hand someone a Bible tract today.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
John Newton wrote “Amazing Grace” in 1779.
His Godly mother died when he was 7 years old, but not before she taught him Bible verses and hymns, and prayed fervently for him.
He was saved after much sin and many years of service in the British Navy. After a terrific storm at sea, when the sailor thought that all was lost and he was going to die, on March 10, 1748, he gave his life to Christ.
He wrote, “The Lord came to me from on high and delivered me from deep waters.”
He became a powerful preacher, a foe of slavery and wrote hundreds of hymns.
He never forgot his Mother’s influence. We can learn from his experience.
Start teaching our children and grandchildren about The Lord when they are young and even though they may stray, our prayers and training will not be fruitless.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Billy Graham was returning
to Charlotte after a
speaking engagement
and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there
to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get
into the limo,
he stopped
and spoke to the driver.
“You know”
he said,
“I am 87 years old
and I have never
driven a limousine.
Would you mind if I
drove it for a while?”
The driver said, “No problem. Have at it.”
Billy gets into the driver’s seat and they head off
down the highway.
A short distance away
sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.
The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper pulled out
and easily caught the limo
and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver’s door
and when the glass
was rolled down,
he was surprised to see
who was driving.
He immediately excused himself and went back to his car
and called his supervisor.
He told the supervisor,
“I know we are supposed to enforce the law….
But I also know that
important people are
given certain courtesies.
I need to know what
I should do because
I have stopped a
very important person.”
The supervisor asked,
“Is it the governor?”
The young trooper said,
“No, he’s more important
than that.”
The supervisor said,
“Oh, so it’s the president.”
The young trooper said,
“No, he’s even more
important than that.”
The supervisor finally asked,
“Well then, who is it?”
The young trooper said,
“I think it’s Jesus,
because he’s got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!”

Sunday, the first day of the week, the disciples came together to hear Paul preach. On this Lord’s Day my God bless you as you take time to worship Him. It is the day set aside for Christians to Honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
Let us clear our minds of worldly things today, and meditate on Him.

The song “Oh How I Love Jesus” was written in in the early 1855 when Frederick Whitfield was a student in England. The chorus was not part of the original song.
The chorus was written by an unknown American songwriter. The tune of the chorus was catchy and it was sung and added to many hymns until finally someone put the words of the two together and it became the song we know and love.
1 John 4:19
We love him, because he first loved us.
Today is a day set aside to show love to your sweetheart. It is a tradition started in the 5th century.
To some it is a day of happiness as they share their love as a couple, but to others it may be a day of hurt and sadness because of the loss of a spouse or loved one.
The good news is that we all have someone who loves us unconditionally and continually and His name is Jesus. He died in the cross that we might have forgiveness of sins and a home in Heaven.
If you have not received His great love, ask Him to forgive you of all your sin and invite Him into your heart and life.
1 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him
