Happy Mothers Day 

May 8, 2016

May God bless all the Mothers who read this blog. God gave us a special high calling in life when he gave us children. Every Mother is a teacher, nurse, helper, example and many more things to her children. It is a great responsibility but also one of the greatest blessings a woman can have.

Our children reflect who we are. So Moms be the best you can be for them. The only way that we can be what our children need is through Jesus Christ. Follow Him and get instruction from the Bible that has much to say about rearing children. Then when they are adults thy will know they are blessed to have a Godly Mother.

Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Children

April 22, 2016

The Bible says that children are a heritage from the Lord. We have been blessed with some wonderful children. So today I am thanking the Lord for the wonderful family he has given and I trust that you will be praising the Lord for your family also. If you have a son or daughter and grandchildren also, take time today to tell them you love them, give them a call if they live far away, or the best thing you can possibly do is keep them always in your prayers.

Psalms 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

One Child

“It is wonderful when God saves a drunkard which He sometimes does, but it is more wonderful still when God saves little children before they become drunkards, libertines, and degenerates.”  Bob Jones, Sr.

Yesterday, two of our SOS Events  workers went to the Plant  City Car Show to witness and win souls. We had great expectations for a good harvest at this event. We expected a large crowd because the weather was beautiful and it is a holiday weekend. We were disappointed however, because the crowds were sparse and there were only three other vendors at this event.

Only one salvation. Should we be disappointed? No! This one salvation was a young boy, eight years old, who made a decision to follow Jesus. God is the One who brings the increase and He knows what this one little boy will become. 

Great preachers, Billy Graham, Billy Sunday, Adrian Rogers, Bob Jones Sr., Charles Stanley, Jerry Falwell and many other preachers too numerous to name were once little eight-year-old boys. We rejoice that this one boy was saved yesterday and continue to pray with us that he will grow in Christ.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Little Children

Matthew 19:13
 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.Matthew 19:14  But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

SOS Events has many events where children make decisions for Christ. One of the testimonies from a 7 year old little girl, written on the back of her decision card:

“I asked Jesus to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins.”

Children many times understand and accept Jesus because they have unwavering faith.

Teach Children

This picture is of a Christian family who sends their children to Christian school. The children learn about the Bible, salvation, and the wonderful Godly heritage of the USA. You can see in the background a bulletin board with pilgrims from the first Thanksgiving.
We give thanks for all the Christian schools, the sacrifice of both the parents and teachers who devote their time and money to educate children to love and honor God.

Deuteronomy 11:19
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

This is a beautiful picture of a little child giving thanks for the food. It is a joy to be in a restaurant or with one of the grandchildren and see them bow their heads and give thanks. Jesus says we should be as little children and follow their example.

Luke 18:16
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:for of such is the kingdom of God.

Patriotic Poem

September 16, 2014

20140916-060022-21622318.jpg
This poem was written by a 7th grade student at Hendersonville Christian Academy in Tennesee. Praise The Lord for the many Christian schools that teach love of God and Country.
The future of America and countries around the world is the young people. We must train them in Christian principles from the time they are born.
You can be an influence on your child, grandchild, niece or nephew today. If you do not have close contact with them then pray for them. God is with them all the time.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
