Words Make a Difference

May 25, 2023

***Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.*** 2 Timothy 2:15

On the SOS Events display board there is a question. “Are you 50%, 75% or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?

That is an important question, but what if you leave out the first line? It would read, If you died today you would go to Heaven.

What is the difference? The sentence that asked the question makes a person wonder if they know they will go to Heaven and makes them think about wanting to know how to get there.

Leave that out and the whole meaning changes. Now it is telling the person reading it that if they die they will go to Heaven.

Words make a difference. Change even one word and the meaning can change. Leave a word out and the meaning can change. Even rearranging words can change the meaning .

The Bible has many versions today. Some of these versions change words and even meanings of what God wants us to know.

Study for yourself and see what God wants to say to you.

Pay Attention!

August 3, 2022

Do we really pay attention when we read the Bible or do a Bible Study? Are we ready to believe everything someone tells us about God’s Word?

Yesterday there was a mistake in the Reference to the Bible verse in this blog. Did you see it? Is there really a book in the Bible called coronavirus? NO!

The reference should have been Corinthians, but in haste the reference was not checked. We need to pay attention when studying God’s Word.

Someone did catch the error and actually the staff of SOS Events laughed over this mistake. We do apologize for the error, but it has taught us a lesson.

When And How We Speak

April 20, 2022

The Bible tells us a lot about how and when we should speak.

Proverbs 21 gives great advice, we will stay out of trouble if we keep our mouth shut. Angry? Sop! Say nothing. Wait and allow time to cool off before we address the subject.

Ephesians 4:29 – Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

James 1:26 – If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

1 Peter 3:10 – For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

These are great verses, and there are many more, that teach us to be careful how and when to speak. God will bless us abundantly if we can ask Him to help us to speak kind, encouraging words.

Love in The Bible

February 8, 2022

There are hundreds of verses in the Bible on the word “love”. It is a wonderful word study.

There are 4 types of love in the Bible.

Phillia Love – A love that is affectionate but not romantic. This love is usually shared between family and friends.
Eros love – A love that is romantic between a man and woman.
Philautia Love – Is a love and respect we should have for ourselves and the Holy Spirit indwelling within us.
Mania Love – This is a love in which we are obsessed. This love leads to false idols and putting things on a pedestal higher than God

Today we have looked at some interesting facts, however, we can know all about the word LOVE but until we experience God’s love all our knowledge means nothing.

The love of GOD for us is found in the familiar verse, John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Bible

June 16, 2021

Dwight L. Moody said, “The Bible was not given for our information, but for our transformation.”

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2
