Today Is An Event!

July 31, 2026

Event Evangelism, Inc is the legal name for SOS Events ministry and all of our witnessing takes place at events. The definition of an event by the founder of SOS Events ministry is “An event is when you get up in the morning.”

Everyday is another opportunity to witness. Young mother at home with small children, witness to someone on the phone or a neighbor or delivery man. Student, witness to your unsaved fellow students. Business man or woman, you have many opportunities to witness as you work (make sure you do not do it on the boss’s time). Elderly, even in a nursing home you have people around you to witness to for the Lord.

Today is an event. Give someone a tract, tell someone your testimony or use the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do” approach which takes less than 2 minutes. Make today your special event.

Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth

Be Swift To Hear, Be Slow To Speak

July 27, 2026

These words from James are simple to read, but they are often difficult to live. In our conversations with family, friends, coworkers, and even fellow believers, we are often quick to speak and slow to listen. We may react before we understand, and we may allow our emotions to control our words. God reminds us that a Christlike spirit begins with listening.

Being swift to hear means more than simply hearing another person’s words. It means listening with compassion, patience, and a desire to understand. Many misunderstandings could be avoided if we took the time to truly listen before responding.

Being slow to speak reminds us that our words have great power. A few careless words can wound a heart, while a few gracious words can encourage a weary soul. Before we speak, we should ask ourselves, “Will these words honor the Lord?”

Being slow to wrath is perhaps the greatest challenge of all. Anger can cloud our judgment and damage relationships. James reminds us that “the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” When we surrender our emotions to the Lord, His peace replaces our frustration, and His wisdom guides our response.

This truth also applies to our relationship with God. We need to be swift to hear His voice through His Word, slow to tell Him how we think things should be done, and slow to become discouraged or frustrated when His answers do not come as quickly as we desire. God is always working, even when we cannot see it.

None of us can live this way in our own strength. It is only through daily time in God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit that we can become better listeners, wiser speakers, and calmer servants of Christ.

Today, let’s ask the Lord to help us listen more carefully, speak more graciously, and respond more like Jesus. As we yield ourselves to Him, our relationships with others—and with God—will grow stronger each day.

Seek Peace!

July 13, 2026

Peace does not always come naturally. Differences of opinion, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and even busy schedules can slowly build walls between people. Yet God’s Word does not tell us to wait for peace to come to us—it tells us to seek it and pursue it.

As Christians, we should make every effort to live in peace with one another. That means choosing forgiveness over bitterness, kindness over harsh words, and humility over pride. Sometimes we have to be the first to make a phone call, send a note, or simply say, “I’m sorry.” Peace is worth pursuing because it reflects the love of Christ.

This is especially important within our families. Home should be a place where grace is freely given and love is constantly shown. No family is perfect, but when we allow the Lord to guide our hearts, He can restore broken relationships and strengthen the bonds we share.

The same is true with our friends and fellow believers. The world is watching how Christians treat one another. When we walk in love, extend forgiveness, and strive for unity, we become a powerful testimony of God’s transforming grace.

Today, ask the Lord to search your heart. Is there someone with whom you need to make peace? Don’t wait. Pray for wisdom, take the first step, and trust God with the results.

May we be known as people who not only love the Lord but also seek peace and pursue it every day.

Wish You Were Here!

July 11, 2026

Wish You Were Here!

Have you ever been on a wonderful vacation or visited a breathtaking place and found yourself saying, “I wish you were here!” There is something about experiencing joy that makes us want to share it with the people we love.

As Christians, there is an even greater place awaiting us. Jesus has promised to prepare a home for everyone who has trusted Him as Savior. Heaven will be more beautiful than anything we have ever seen on earth. There will be no sorrow, no pain, no tears—only the joy of being in the presence of our Lord forever.

As I think about Heaven, my heart echoes those familiar words: “I wish you were here.” I want every member of my family, every friend, every neighbor, and every person I meet to know the Lord Jesus Christ so they can spend eternity in Heaven. There is no greater invitation we can extend than to share the Gospel and tell others about God’s amazing gift of salvation.

Today, take a moment to pray for someone you love who does not yet know Christ. Then ask God to give you an opportunity to lovingly share the hope that is found in Jesus. One day, what a joy it will be to look around Heaven and see those we prayed for and witnessed to standing there with us.

Daily Exercise

July 8, 2026

Most of us know that exercise isn’t always easy. Some days we don’t feel like walking, stretching, or doing the things that help keep our bodies healthy. It takes discipline and perseverance. Yet when we begin to see the results—greater strength, better health, and more energy—we’re thankful we didn’t give up.


Our spiritual life is much the same. Growing in our walk with the Lord doesn’t happen overnight. It requires spending time in God’s Word, talking with Him in prayer, and faithfully obeying what He teaches us. Some days it may seem difficult or routine, but every day we spend with the Lord strengthens our faith.


Just as physical exercise strengthens our muscles, daily time in the Bible strengthens our hearts. It prepares us for life’s challenges, helps us resist temptation, and draws us closer to the Savior. The greatest results are often seen over time as God molds us into the image of His Son.


Today, make time to exercise both your body and your faith. A healthy body is a blessing, but a heart that is growing stronger in Christ is a blessing that lasts for eternity.

When Weary Comes Calling

June 25, 2026

There are days when we become weary. Sometimes it is physical. Our bodies simply grow tired from the demands of life. Other times it is mental. Worries, decisions, and responsibilities can leave us exhausted. Then there is spiritual weariness, when we feel discouraged, defeated, or wonder if our labor for the Lord is making a difference.

The wonderful news is that God understands every kind of weariness, and He has already provided the answer in His Word.

The Lord invites us to come to Him:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Notice that Jesus does not say we will never become weary. Instead, He promises rest when we come to Him. We find renewed strength through prayer, reading His Word, and trusting Him with every burden we carry.

If you are physically tired, ask God for the strength you need today. If your mind is filled with worry, remember that He is in control. If you are spiritually weary, do not quit. Keep serving, keep praying, and keep trusting the One who never grows weary.

Today, whatever kind of weariness you are experiencing, take it to the Lord. His strength is always greater than our weakness, and His promises never fail.

Attitude

June 18, 2026

One of the few things we can control each day is our attitude. We cannot control the weather, the economy, or even the actions of other people. But we can choose how we respond to the circumstances God allows into our lives.

A positive, Christ-centered attitude does not mean pretending that problems do not exist. It means trusting God in the middle of those problems. When we face disappointments with faith, serve others with joy, and remain thankful even during difficult seasons, we become a testimony of God’s grace to those around us.

At SOS Events, we often find that people are drawn not only to what we say, but to the spirit in which we say it. A cheerful attitude can open doors for witnessing that a negative spirit may close. Whether at a flea market, car show, church event, or in the office, our attitude reflects our relationship with Christ.

Today, ask yourself: Does my attitude point others to Jesus? May we choose gratitude over complaining, kindness over criticism, and faith over fear.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
— Colossians 3:23 (KJV)

What Would Jesus Think?

May 26, 2026

Do you remember the saying, “What Would Jesus Do?” It became very popular years ago. Many people wore bracelets, placed it on their cars, or displayed it in their homes.

Today, I want to encourage you to think of it a little differently:
“What Would Jesus Think?”

If we think like Jesus, we begin to put others before ourselves. We strive to be humble rather than proud. We choose to give rather than take. We learn to love our neighbors with compassion and grace. As we grow in this mindset, we become more like Jesus.

So today, rather than grumble and complain, let us choose thankfulness. Let us look at others through the eyes of Christ. Let us think with kindness, humility, and love.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:5 KJV

Who Is The Most Important?

May 12, 2026

Who is the most important person in your life? It may be your spouse, a child, your boss or coworker, maybe your best friend. All of these people are important.

But, there is someone that should be the person that is even more important than anyone else.

He is able to comfort, guide, bless, and save you. He provides a way to eternal life through His death, burial and resurrection. His name is Jesus. Please make Him the most important person and Lord of your life.

Brighten Someone’s Corner Today!

May 7, 2026

There is a little song “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”. 

“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are. 

Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!”

Today why don’t you encourage someone with a phone call, text message, note or a simple smile may make someone’s day brighter. Maybe a single Mom, a lonely person, a friend who struggling with a problem or a stranger who needs a friendly greeting. You will be the one who gets a blessing along with the person you are encouraging
