Old hymns that have been sung in our churches for years are wonderful. Some of the new worship songs speaks to the heart but let us not stop singing the hymns of the past. They speak volumes of how great God is. We need the old along with the new.
Just read the words of this great hymn and make it a prayer of worship today.
Psalms 86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Praise God for the 16 decisions for Christ during the month of September, for the over 40 newly locally trained SOS volunteers in Alabama. SOS Events Alabama team led by Dale and Dorothy Brown and Patty Mills do a wonderful job all year to bring souls to Christ and train new soul winners.
Your prayers are vital in helping us fight the attacks of the evil one as he seeks to do what he does best: “steal, kill and destroy.” As the ministry rolls into what promises to be the busiest season of the year, will you please commit to join with SOS Events Ministry in prayer, specifically for complete and total surrender to God’s will and for His protection? There is a spiritual battle being waged but make no mistake – we know Christ is the victor!
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
New events are being added to the SOS EVENTS calendar for the September to December busy season. We are thankful for the opportunities God gives us to win souls. Please pray for the workers and the lost that they will be saved.
You can have a part in the blessings. Pray, give and participate. There is always room for more events and more volunteers. SOS Events needs you to help in any way you can. Lost souls are waiting to hear the gospel.
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Federal court judge Carlton Reeves, appointed by Obama, has ordered the marching band of Brandon High School (Mississippi) to remove the hymn, “How Great Thou Art”, from its half-time show. Everyday our Christian freedoms are being taken away in America.
This coming election is so important because the judges make decisions that effect our lives. The new president will appoint one to four new Suoreme Court Justices in the next few years. Study the issues and realize it is not just the president you are voting for but even more important who is elected will appoint these Judges. We must not allow any more of our freedoms to be taken away.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
This photo was taken 36 years ago today. Congratulations to Wil and Danielle Slater. They were both only 18 years old and have stayed true to one another and have served the Lord together through many years of happiness and trials. It is a great blessing to see marriages that endure the test of time.
There is another marriage that Christians can look forward to that will last for eternity and that is the “marriage supper of the Lamb”. That is when the bridegroom, Jesus, takes His bride “the church” to be His. The church is all New Testiment Christians who have trusted in Jesus to be their Savior. What a glorious wedding feast that will be. Are you going to the Wedding?
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Sometimes we are disappointed when only one person repents and gets saved at an event that SOS Events participates in. The effort to go, set up a canopy, get workers, pray, prepare, pay for and all the things that must be accomplished before the event even starts, then after that only one soul.
This is what happened on Friday night this week in Pennsylvania at an event. Then we remember that God is in control and the joy in Heaven over this one person is taking place. We do not know how God will use this person in the future. So today we also rejoice in this one soul that made a decision to follow Christ. All the work and effort put in by SOS Events volunteers is worth that one person and they will be rewarded for faithfulness because God looks at our heart.
The storm has passed our area. The electric companies worked tirelessly to restore power to the thousands of Floridians who lost electricity, cleanup of downed trees and flooded homes are now in progress. Waking this morning to sunshine and a new day there is praise in my heart to the Lord for safety and His wonderful mercy and care. The quote by Govenor Rick Scott is so true, “You can rebuild a home. You can rebuild property,” Scott said. “You cannot rebuild a life.”
One man did loose his life in the storm, and we sorrow for the loss of life, but it could have been so much worse. So if you are working to clean the debris and mess left behind, take a moment to thank the Lord for His mercy and look at the sunshine after the storm. Joy comes in the morning.
Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
A Hurricane Is passing through our area in Florida and things can get a little frightening. Total darkness with no electricity during the night. Strange sounds of thunder, lightning and trees blowing against the house. That is when everything is out of our control and the only one you can trust in is God. Total dependence on Him for peace and safety.
Storms in life are like that, also. Sometimes things seem dark and frightening. The feeling of helplessness because things are beyond our control. Just like the hurricane, the only One we can turn to is the Lord.
Psalms 91:2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Sometimes events cannot be held because of stormy weather and yesterday was one of those days in Florida. A tropical storm shut the Wednesday, Flea Market down so no decisions for Christ. We get disappointed when our plans get changed and things don’t go the way we plan, but that is the time to remember that God is in control and He knows our heart.
So our team didn’t get to witness but, a lot of office work got done. So we are Praising the Lord for His goodness.
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
