One of my favorite things is a little figurine. 3 monkeys, the first has his hands over his eats, the second, hands over his eyes, and the third, his hands over his mouth.
Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. Good advice for us. If we are careful what we watch and hear we will think before we speak.
Matthew 15:17 those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Are you willing to ask God to search your heart and your thoughts?
Sin starts in the mind. If we truly want to have a pure heart, then we need to ask God to reveal to us any thoughts that may not be pleasing to Him.
Wow! That can be a risky prayer. We may have to give up that secret sin.
But, the reward of knowing that we have pleased the Lord will far outweigh anything we want to hold on to.
If you are a trained volunteer with the Florida SOS Events Team, we need you!!
Strawberry Festival in Plant City starts tomorrow. There is still several 3 hour slots that need volunteers.
Hundreds of people pass by the SOS Events booth. Most of them are lost and do not know that Jesus is the only way that they can have eternal life.
You have the answer. Are you going to let these men, women, boys and girls go by without an opportunity to be saved?
Go to the website signupgenius, scroll down to find a sign up, type in info@sosevents.org. An icon will pop up about Strawberry Festival and sign up in an empty slot.
If that is to difficult for you call the office at 813-494-7512. We will sign up for you.
God commands us to be witnesses. This is your golden opportunity.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:13
Are you willing to get out of your comfort zone to please God?
Sacrifice. That’s what it takes. Giving your time, talent and resources to communicate the Word of God to others.
Praise is the first step. Only through praise and prayer can we accomplish God’s will for our lives.
Today, ask God what He wants you to do. Be ready for Him to show you. It will take some sacrifice, but the reward of pleasing Him will far outweigh any sacrifice you can give.
“The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing”
John F. Kennedy
Evil is running rapid all over the world, and even in the USA and it seems that nothing is being done. What can I do? You might ask.
One man or woman with the power of the Holy Spirit can make a difference one soul at a time.
How? Witness of the love and grace of God. JESUS is the answer. Do something today, tell someone about Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Don’t be a “do nothing”.
1 Peter 2:15
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
25 days until Christmas. To some that is exciting. Children waiting, anxiously waiting. Will it ever come.
Moms and Dads are thinking, so soon and so much to do.
Older folks may not welcome the day so much. Maybe they are alone or away from loved ones.
Whatever your expectations about Christmas, it will come.
Looking back to the birth of. Jesus. He was expected for years. People looked forward to His coming. When He did enter the world it was not as a king as they expected, but as a little baby in a lowly manger.
He was born to die. He grew up, died on a cross and rose again. Then after appearing to many He ascended into Heaven.
He will return. This time as King. Are you looking and waiting? Just like Christmas past, Jesus is coming again!
For many years in the USA the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. People are out looking for a bargain. A lot of shopping for Christmas presents.
We are tempted to overlook the true meaning of Christmas and turn it into a day to get and give gifts.
So today, shop if you must but it is a good thing to put Jesus first in your quest for that bargain.
Remember the greatest gift you can give is telling someone about Jesus. That costs absolutely nothing and it is the most lasting gift anyone could receive.
As every man hath received the gift, even sominister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10
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. John 3:16
This is a page from a church hymnal. Many churches today do not use hymnals anymore, they project the words on a screen. New technology is good as long as we don’t forget that music is to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus.
Today when you go to church worship the Lord by singing from your heart.
Are the words you sing truly honoring Him or do they just make you feel good?
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16
An old saying, “Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” This statement is totally untrue. Our words can encourage, uplift and help someone else, or they can deeply hurt and wound. Once spoken we cannot take them back. God tells us in his word to speak good words.
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!
Think about it.
