God’s Word Makes A Difference!

August 8, 2025

There is no greater power on earth than the power of God’s Word.

How can 6 Bible verses make a difference in someone’s life?

At an event with SOS Events 6 verses make all the difference for the people who listen and accept Jesus as their Savior.

What are these 6 verses?

1. GOD cannot lie. Titus 1:2

2. GOD cannot change. Malachi 3:6

3. GOD can or let anyone into Heaven unless he is born again. John 3:3-5

4. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. Romans 3:23

5. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

6. For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Romans 10:13

These 6 verses are used by the volunteers for SOS Events, over the 23 years over 80,000 people have listened to these verses and accepted Jesus as their Savior.

These verses made a difference in each of their lives!

Sunday, A Day To Worship Jesus!

Forgiveness!

July 26, 2025

Has someone hurt you? You feel angry and that person does not deserve to be forgiven.

What about you? How many times have you hurt our loving Savior, Jesus? Maybe by thought or action that does not please Him. Then in His love and mercy, He has forgiven you. Not just once but numerous times.

How much more should we forgive that person who has hurt us? God tells us to forgive. It isn’t easy sometimes but if you truly want to forgive, He will give us the strength to forgive.

It is a choice. We can continue to have resentment in our heart or consciously forgive. The right choice gives us freedom that true obedience gives.

If You Have A Friend, You Are Blessed!

July 25, 2025

If you have a true friend you are blessed. If you have several good friends you are extremely blessed. 

God gives us friends in our lives to come along by our side to uplift us in times of trouble or sorrow. They rejoice with us when we have joy. They are loyal. 

Thank God for the friends in your life. Also, be a good friend to them. Maybe today, give your friend(s) a call. Write them a little note. Most importantly pray for them.

We do have a friend that is with us always. His name is Jesus!

Pray For Salvations In New York!

July 22, 2025

All set up at the Orleans County 4-H fair! Monday through Saturday come on out and see “3 things God cannot do”. Praying for many souls to be saved!

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

Let’s Sing Some Traditional Hymns!

July 21, 2025

Many churches have done away with traditional hymns, but we need to bring back these spirit filled old hymns.

Music is a viral part of any church service and our hearts can be stirred by some of the words and music of the older songs as well as the new.

Amazing Grace, in the Garden, Great is Thy Faithfulness and many more that are lost to the new generation.

Have A Blessed Sunday As You Worship!

Therapy!

July 16, 2025

Have you ever had therapy for a broken bone or strained muscle? That can be painful but necessary for complete healing.

We sometimes need spiritual therapy. We have not been seeking God for the difficult time in our lives. We find ourselves blaming God for our trouble or difficulties.

What is the remedy for a broken spirit? God’s Word. Prayer. Repentance. Not just a little bit but every day consistently. Sometimes it hurts, but we need to keep on doing it.

God is faithful. Just as He heals a broken body, He also can heal a broken heart.

 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psalm 34:18

Jesus Is Sending Us To Go And Tell!

July 15, 2025

This verse in John is Jesus speaking to His disciples after His resurrection. First He tells them Peace! He is with them.

Then He gives them the commission to go! Go and tell others about Jesus. His death, burial and resurrection.

This commission is ours today. We have the Good News. Jesus paid for all our sins and we need to share that with others. He paid for their sins too.

Find someone today to tell.

A Cure For Discouragement!

July 14, 2025

Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.

It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.

Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.
