SOS - Can't find - Been there done that in the Epistles

"The S.O.S files are part of what I call THE S.O.S ADVENTURE. My concern is to help those on the field, by visits, written communications. It’s not a program or a separate ministry. It’s to help compliment what you are doing on the field. S.O.S stands for SOLD OUT ON SERVICE. " Rev. Robert (Bob) Vignola Can’t Find “Been There Done That” in the Epistles The Apostle Paul was either a Looney Tune or knew well the POWER OF THE WORD. 2 Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom is Phygellus and Hermogeness. Then in chapter 4, verse 2, he tells Timothy: 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. So basically in chapter 1, everybody’s SPLIT. Yet he keeps telling Timothy to go out and do it. Boy. These guys were either crazy or they knew Hebrews 4:12. They realized that nothing was more powerful than The Word. They knew and were sold out on THE WORD OF LIFE. Sounds like the book of ACTS, where that crazy bunch like Peter and John got in trouble and these NUTS go pray for more boldness. All these guys understood the effect of the Word on people and the community. Never get discouraged when some do not believe, and be thankful for those who split. Dr. VPW used to say “I’m thankful they stood for even 5 minutes.” Another thing we see in that crazy Paul’s life was that he never stopped speaking God’s Word. Those of us who are over 39, like Jack Benny, are to never get to the place where we sit in our easy chairs and smoke a pipe and then tell the youngins, “Been there done that.” I CAN’T find that scripture! Jesus Christ was all “Show and Tell.” It’s a counterfeit and damn laziness, ego and pride. If we want our younger people to learn, we need to not only tell but show how to witness, show how to counsel, show how to minister healing. WE are believers who have BEEN THERE AND STILL DOING IT!
