Do you have a problem that you do not know how to solve? You need wisdom in guidance to help you!
True wisdom can only be found in God’s word. A good place to start is in Proverbs. Proverbs has 31 chapters. Start the first of the month and you have a chapter a day.
The book of Proverbs will help you live the kind of life. God wants you to live. It will help you with relationships. It gives advice on how to be a good parent.
Tells you some of the pitfalls of life and how to avoid them. Advice on the kind of friends to choose.
Another thing you can do is look up wisdom in the Bible, and all the verses that have that word in them will come up and you can read what God has to say about His wisdom. Also, ask God to give you wisdom, and He will give it to
Today many of us will go to church to worship God our Savior, Jesus. Some people cannot go to church for various reasons but worship Him in their hearts.
Others choose not to worship God at all but follow after pleasure and things that are unimportant.
Someday, the Bible tells us that every knee will bow to Jesus. Which do you choose? Worship Him today or be forced to bow your knee to Him at the judgement seat?
Every Saturday throughout the month of October, SOS Events volunteers will be sharing the Gospel at fall festivals, car shows, flea markets, and many other events across the United States.
October is one of our busiest months of the year, and we are so thankful for the faithful volunteers who give their time, energy, and resources to tell others about Jesus Christ.
We need more volunteers! If you have a desire to share the love of Jesus with others, we would love for you to become part of SOS Events.
But even if you cannot volunteer, there is something very important you can do. YOU CAN PRAY!
Please pray for our volunteers as they travel and witness. Pray for good weather so that events can take place as scheduled. Pray for open hearts and opportunities to share the Gospel.
Most of all, PRAY FOR SOULS TO BE SAVED!
Every person we meet has an eternal soul. Our greatest desire is that many will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
We cannot do this work without the Lord’s blessing, and we believe in the power of prayer.
James 5:16 (KJV)
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
Thank you for praying for SOS Events. Together, we can make an eternal difference in the lives of others.
Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables. He knew that although many would hear His words, not everyone would receive them. In the parable of the sower, He described how the same seed—the Word of God—fell on different kinds of soil.
We see these same responses as we witness today. Some people listen but walk away without accepting God’s Word. Others receive the message with joy, but they never take root. Still others allow the cares of this world to crowd out what they have heard, and they do not grow.
Then there are those who receive God’s Word, trust Jesus as their Savior, and go away rejoicing. They grow in their faith and share the good news with others, bringing forth more fruit.
“But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23, KJV
As we witness, we must faithfully keep sowing the seed and praying for those who hear. We cannot see every heart, but God can.
Each of us must also examine our own heart. Are we allowing the cares of life to crowd out God’s Word, or are we receiving it, growing, and bearing fruit?
This weekend, SOS Events volunteers will be sharing the Gospel at a car show in Florida, a flea market in Alabama, and other events throughout the United States.
Please pray for our teams as they tell others about Jesus. Pray for strength, clear opportunities to witness, and hearts ready to receive the Gospel. More volunteers are needed, so ask the Lord to send faithful workers to join this ministry.
Most of all, please pray that many people will trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. Every person who comes to an event is someone God loves and someone who needs Him.
“Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”
When people look at you and the way you live, can they tell that you are a Christian?
Being a Christian is more than going to church, reading our Bible, or telling someone that we believe in Jesus. Our faith should be seen in the way we live every day.
Our family sees us when no one else is watching. Our friends see how we respond when things do not go our way. Our neighbors notice how we treat others. Even strangers may see something different in our kindness, patience, honesty, and love.
We will never be perfect, but our desire should be to live in such a way that others can see Jesus in us.
Matthew 5:16 KJV
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Today, ask yourself: When people look at my life, do they see Jesus?
I saw this quote and thought it was worth sharing:
“If being hurt by the church causes you to lose faith in God, then your faith was in people, not God.” — A. W. Tozer
Sadly, sometimes we are hurt by people in the church. A pastor, a leader, a friend, or another Christian may disappoint us. Words can hurt, promises can be broken, and sometimes people simply fail us.
But people are not God.
Our faith should never rest in a person, a church, or an organization. People—even good Christian people—are imperfect. Jesus Christ never changes. He is always faithful, always loving, and always worthy of our trust.
When someone in the church hurts you, don’t allow that hurt to draw you away from the Lord. Instead, draw closer to Him. Forgive when forgiveness is needed, pray for those who have hurt you, and keep your eyes on Jesus.
Our relationship with God is not based on how other Christians behave. It is based on who He is.
Hebrews 12:2 KJV “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”
Keep looking to Jesus. People may disappoint us, but Jesus never will.
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
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.
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.
