Be Thankful for Bad Things

November 20, 2017

Can we be thankful for the bad things in life? Maybe we don’t feel thankful, but God tells us to be thankful in all things. Tell Him you are thankful not because of feelings but because of obedience. Eventually, after a period of time you will be able to thank Him in your heart and remember the precious memories of the good things God has given you. (This is my experience after the death of 2 beloved sons)

1 Thessalonians 5:18

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Those in Authority

November 14, 2017

Praise the Lord for the freedom of speech that we have in the United States of America. However, the mainstream media have taken politician bashing beyond a level that is good for our country. That includes local, state and national politicians no matter what party they belong too. As Christians, we should be praying for our political leaders rather than complaining and repeating rhetoric that may or may not be true. Today, join with us to pray for your local leaders, Governor, President and Vice President that they may have wisdom to govern with biblical principles and more importantly that they may be saved if they are not.

I Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

November 13, 2017

This is a question that many people ask when tragedy comes, either personal or public. God is a loving God. For the Christian, God allows sorry and heartbreak into our lives to draw us closer to Him. For the unsaved., He is giving them an opportunity to seek Him for salvation and comfort. Do we understand? No! However, with the passage of time we see blessing. Hearing the testimonies of people who have overcome great tragedies in their lives helps us to get through the hard times. If you are facing trials it is the time to draw close to God. He will be with you in every circumstance.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Humble and Committed 

November 12, 2017


Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events Ministry, kept a daily journal with prayer requests and his thoughts about family, friends and Christian living. These journals are a blessing as we now have in his own handwriting his prayers and goals for the ministry.                                                  In a journal from the year 2000, before SOS Events was founded, there were two words he used to describe a successful Christian, especially a soul winner. They must be humble and committed. Traits that he displayed in his own life.                                                                             Let us take a lesson from a man who loved the Lord with all his heart and not only wrote encouraging words but lived them daily.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

God’s Creatures

November 11, 2017

God has created all things. It is wonderful  to see beautiful deer running. Seven of these beautiful creatures were on the lawn of William Slater’s home in Tennessee this morning. It reminds us of how God provides for His creation.


Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
