10 Blessings

March 19, 2016

God gives His children many blessings. The challenge for you today is to stop and name ten blessings the Lord has given you. It would be a good idea to do that daily. Sometimes we as Christians can be negative. Let’s look at the positive every day and our negativity will disappear.

My ten blessings for today are as follows:

1. Salvation (He took me out of the mire and placed me on solid ground)

2. The Bible (my guidebook for living)

3. Prayer (He hears and answers)

4. My spouse (my friend, companion, helper, lover)

5. Children (sons and daughters who love me and are there in times of joy and sorrow)

6. Grandchildren (the little ones make me smile and the older ones give me joy as they serve the Lord)

7. Great grandchildren (it is a blessing to see them born and watch them grow)

8. The promise of Heaven (many of my loved ones have gone on but I will see them again, glad reunion)

9. Friends (people who love me and stick by me through whatever happens, most of all they pray for me)

10. SOS Events ministry (many opportunities to see people come to Christ and a way I can serve the Lord)

These are only 10 of the many blessings God has given me. How about you?

Psalms 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

George Washington Quote

March 18, 2016

God has blessed America with some great Presidents. Our country has been governed by men who may or may not have been born again Christians but they honored God and the principles set down in the Bible. Some of their quotes will be posted on the blog in the coming weeks.

George Washington the first USA President honored God in his writings, speeches and at public as well as private events. He was a great statesman and leader and brought the Country through the transition from a colony to an independent nation.

  

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

230 Decisions

March 17, 2016

The final total of decisions for Strawberry Festival is 230, men women, boys and girls who are now on their way to Heaven. They truly are a child of the King which was the theme of the booth this year.

Praise the Lord for all the opportunities He gives us to witness. This group is hearing the “3 Things God Can Not Do” from one of SOS Events Spanish workers.

  

A Wise Man

March 13, 2016

Tom Curtis is a wise man for he is always looking for people to win to Christ. He has had 3 surgeries since October but as usual his goal is to witness especially in the hospital. Last evening he had the joy of leading Alden to Jesus. Please keep Tom in your prayers for complete healing of his left leg.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

  


I am a Child of the King

March 5, 2016

This is a family that were saved on the first day of Stawberry Festival. What a blessing to have a whole family come to Christ. 23 people have been saved the first two days of the festival. They are now children of the King.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

The Wedding

February 16, 2016

The Bible tells us that we Christians are the bride of Christ. That may be a hard concept for some to understand. Think about a wedding. The groom loves the bride and she loves him. The bride has on beautiful apparel. She is beautiful. 

They vow to love and to cherish, for better or for worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do they part. It is a choice she makes when she says “I do or I will” take this man to be my husband. 

We made a choice when we accepted Jesus to be our Savior. As His beloved we should vow to love Him, cherish Him, for better or worse, in sickness and in health until He comes to take us to be with Him. Just as marriage has its joys and sorrows, so the Christian life has its joys and trials also. The good news is that He is always with us. He will never leave or forsake us and He is waiting to welcome us to His wedding feast.

Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Can’t Go To Church

January 24, 2016

Many of our friends and family on the East Coast cannot go to church today, because of the blizzard snowstorm that took place this weekend. 

What a wonderful opportunity to gather your family together and worship God.Sing together, read the Bible and pray. It is also a good time to thank the Lord for His blessings. He brought you through the storm safely, you have food to eat and fellowship with your family. Worshiping together at home teaches your children that God can be worshiped any place.

Sometimes we cannot go to church for other reasons than the storm. Maybe a sick child or you are sick yourself. Do not neglect to worship God whatever the circumstance. Every day should be a day of worship, so this is good advice on a daily basis.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

God is Faithful

January 20, 2016

  
This is what it looks like when SOS Events is setting up for an event. On Saturday a team from SOS went to Sebring, FL to do an event at Camp Sparta. 15 souls were saved. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. When one of the teams from SOS Events goes to win souls at an event God always blesses. We are His witnesses but He brings the conviction and saves by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 1:9  God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

One Child

January 17, 2016

“It is wonderful when God saves a drunkard which He sometimes does, but it is more wonderful still when God saves little children before they become drunkards, libertines, and degenerates.”  Bob Jones, Sr.

Yesterday, two of our SOS Events  workers went to the Plant  City Car Show to witness and win souls. We had great expectations for a good harvest at this event. We expected a large crowd because the weather was beautiful and it is a holiday weekend. We were disappointed however, because the crowds were sparse and there were only three other vendors at this event.

Only one salvation. Should we be disappointed? No! This one salvation was a young boy, eight years old, who made a decision to follow Jesus. God is the One who brings the increase and He knows what this one little boy will become. 

Great preachers, Billy Graham, Billy Sunday, Adrian Rogers, Bob Jones Sr., Charles Stanley, Jerry Falwell and many other preachers too numerous to name were once little eight-year-old boys. We rejoice that this one boy was saved yesterday and continue to pray with us that he will grow in Christ.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
