From the desk of Pastor Rogers
S.O.S
ANY CALL OR APPEAL FOR HELP. WHEN THE S.O.S SIGNAL IS GIVEN THE TRAGEDY HAS ALREADY
BEGAN TO TAKE PLACE. WE, AS SPIRITUAL LEADERS, NEED TO LOOK FOR THE SIGNS AND SIGNALS,
OF DISTRESS IN THE LIVES OF OUR PEOPLE. THERE ARE PEOPLE CRYING OUT FOR HELP, SO MANY
DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR HELP. HAVE WE CLOSED OUR EARS TO THE CRY, THAT IS SO
DESPERATELY GIVEN? HAVE WE HUSHED OUR VOICES OR CALLED BACK TO THEM LETTING THEM
KNOW WE HEARD THEIR CRY?
THE WORD SIGNAL MEANS: TO CONVEY [TO MAKE KNOWN] COMMAND WARNINGS, SUCH AS
RAILROAD CROSSINGS, INTERSECTIONS, STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, WARNINGS ON CLEANING
CHEMICALS, TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. WE ALSO HEAR MANY VERBAL
WARNINGS FROM PARENTS TO THE CHILDREN.
THE WORD DISTRESS: TO CAUSE SORROW, MISERY, SUFFERING, PAIN, AFFLICT, THE STATE OF
BEING DISTRESSED AND A STATE OF DANGER OR TROUBLE. IF WE WANT TO AVOID DISTRESS WE
MUST HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SITUATION AND TAKE ACTION NOT TO LET IT HAPPEN, THIS IS
WHEN WISDOM COMES IN.
JAMES 1:5 TELLS US, IF ANY OF YOU LACK WISDOM, LET HIM ASK OF GOD, THAT GIVETH TO ALL MEN
LIBERALLY, AND UPBRAIDETH NOT; AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN HIM. THIS SCRIPTURE MEANS; WITHOUT
REPROACH, LIBERALLY MEANS; GIVING FREELY, GENEROUS, AMPLE ABUNDANT, AND NOT
RESTRICTED LIBERAL REWARDS.
WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE? THE FACT OR STATE OF KNOWING, ACQUAINTANCE WITH FACTS, RANGE OF
INFORMATION, AWARENESS OR UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS KNOWN. WISDOM, IS GOOD JUDGMENT
BASED ON KNOWLEDGE. WISDOM IS KNOWLEDGE PUT INTO PRACTICE. SO MANY WARNINGS ARE
PUT OUT AND SO MANY HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF
THE WARNINGS.
IF WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF SOMETHING THAT IS DANGEROUS, RESPONDING TO THE
WARNINGS, WE SHOULD REFRAIN FROM THEM USING WISDOM.
PROVERBS 1: 2-33 TELLS US WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO NOT USE WISDOM. WHEN WE REJECT
THE SIGNAL AND SIGNS THIS WILL EQUAL TO AN S.O.S IN YOUR LIFE.
IF YOU NEED A LIFELINE PLEASE LET US KNOW. WE ARE SO GLAD YOU STOP BY TODAY, PLEASE
COME AGAIN. WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VISIT. KEEP IN TOUCH, THERE WILL BE UPDATES THAT
YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS.
