Faithful Witness

September 7, 2021

Tom Floyd has been going to a local thrift store once or twice a week for about 6 years. He sets up a small table with the SOS Events “3 Things GOD Can Not Do” display board.

Over the years, he has had many opportunities to give people the gospel. People respond. Sometimes they accept Jesus as their Savior, or they ask for prayer about a problem.

God blesses the faithful person who never gives up. Thank you, Tom for you faithfulness.

Proverbs 28:20 – A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

Labor Day!

September 6, 2021

Labor Day is a holiday in the USA to honor men and women in the workplace. It is a day set aside to celebrate with parades, picnics and family gatherings.

The Bible tells us a lot about labor:

Exodus 20:9-11 – Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Ephesians 4:28 – Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

1 Thessalonians 1:3 – Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

These are just a few verses, there are many more. A good study. If you are struggling with burdens today these following verses will bring you comfort and rest:

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11: 28-30

Pray For Your Pastor Today

September 5, 2021

God gave us the Pastor of our church to help us get through hard times. The Pastor officiates at our wedding, celebrates the birth of our children, prays with us in sickness and sorrows, and at the death of a loved one.

All the time having the same problems we have in his own family. He needs our prayers. Take a few minutes and pray for him today.

Pray he will have power of the Holy Spirit to preach the truth. Pray he will not be distracted by people or circumstances. Pray God will comfort him as he has the burden of his own but also takes the burdens of his whole congregation.

Most of all do not have roast preacher for lunch. Do not talk negatively about him or his family. Let us love our Pastor and show him our appreciation.

Not By Power or Might

September 1, 2021

Have you ever tried to do something and you utterly failed? You failed because you were doing it in your own strength.

The Bible tells us it is not by our power or strength, but by the Holy Spirit.

God wants us to take our failures and fears to Him and the Holy Spirit will turn those failures into success if we give it all to Him.

Is Jesus Lord Of Your Life?

August 28, 2021

You have Jesus as your Savior, but is He Lord of your life? Do you allow Him in all the areas in your life?

Seeking wisdom and knowledge of Jesus as Lord is very important if you are expecting to grow and be a successful Christian. Jesus wants to help you, direct you and be your Savior and Lord.

Trusting Jesus gives us entrance into the very presence of God. Jesus is KING of kings and LORD of lords.

Be Still

August 26, 2021

Be still. In this busy time it is difficult to stop and listen to God. We read God’s Word, we pray, but do we take time to listen?

Probably not. Try it for just 5 minutes. Clear your mind and surroundings of all distractions.

It is amazing. Bible verses flood your mind. Maybe just silence. Total peace and relaxation.

Your relationship with God will be strengthened. Try being still today.
