If we listen to the news media, we may experience fear, worry, doubt, defeat, and discouragement.
Wars, natural disasters, spreading of coronavirus and other bad news can cause us to have negative thoughts.
These thoughts can cause our faith in Jesus to falter. How can we overcome and get back to a secure faith in Jesus?
First, read the Bible daily. Remember who Jesus is and what He has done for us. He is our Savior. We can trust Him with our life.
Do not listen to negative reports. Be aware but do not let the news become an obsession. Turn it off if you have to.
Stay away from people who are negative. Fellowship and seek Godly council from spiritual Christians.
Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us into a closer relationship with the Lord. God loves us and will take care of us no matter what the circumstances.
2022 is here. Will it be a year full of joy or sorrow? Will we have success or failure? Sickness or health? God does not allow us to see into the future but he does promise to guide us if we put our trust in Him. He is with us in every circumstance, good or bad and He is always good.
The staff of SOS Events wishes you and your loved ones a happy prosperous New Year. May God bless you as you trust in Him.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2021. It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2022 and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.
Witnessing is a little more difficult because of the restrictions in some areas, but we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative. Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.
Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentil
It’s hard to go anywhere during Christmas without seeing stars hanging from street lamps or sitting on top of Christmas trees.
The star is one of the most recognizable symbols of the holiday. It represents the star that appeared in the sky when Jesus Christ was born. The star led the Wise Men to Jesus and reminds us to follow the light of the Savior just as the Wise Men followed the light of the star to find Him.
Have you found Him?
Matthew 2:1&2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
The wreath has significant meaning for the season. It’s circular shape represents eternity, for it has no beginning and no end.
For a Christian, it represents an unending circle of life. The evergreen, most frequently used in making wreathes, symbolizes growth and everlasting life.
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. John 10:28-30
What a wonderful verse to start with for the month of December! God does supply all our needs.
Some people have abundance of money and material things. Others have very little. The Christmas season is a time for giving. It is not the cost of the gifts, it is the gift given from the heart that counts.
A phone call, letter or an invitation for a meal can mean more than the most expensive present in the world. Your time with your friends and family is the most meaningful gift you can give.
God wants the same thing. You can give a large offering, go to church or do some charity work, but the most important thing you can give to God is time to read His word, pray and then tell someone else about His special gift, the Lord Jesus.
This is the last day in November, a special month to praise God for all His blessings to us. As we look now to the Christmas season with all the hustle and bustle, let us continue to thank Him every day for His goodness.
We get so busy at the Holidays that sometimes we forget the true meaning of Christmas. Starting tomorrow we will be looking at some of the wonderful traditions of Christmas and how they relate to the birth of Jesus.
Then we will look at some of the ordinary people GOD used to bring about the wonderful truth that God sent Jesus to be our Savior.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Ephesians 1:3&4
Most of us start our day with a cup of coffee. The most important way to start our mornings though, is to spend it with Jesus. We must not neglect to read His Word and pray. That is a perfect way to start our day along with the coffee.
Psalms 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
