Yesterday we saw what a baby Christian is like. Today let us see what a Christian is like who is saved and has grown a little but has not yet matured. Children can be sweet, obedient, full of questions and like to learn new things. However, they are selfish, willful and sometimes disobedient. Young Christians have some of the same traits. If you are a young Christian, learn how to grow. Develop good habits. Go to a good Bible believing church, study the Bible daily, pray and fellowship with mature Christians. Also, learn to be a witness and tell friends and family about your faith in Jesus. Get rid of old things that would cause you to fall into sin. No matter what your physical age is, your spiritual age is the most important.
Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Do you know someone who has been saved recently? That new Christian needs to be cared for and nurtured just as we care for a newborn baby. Babies are totally dependent on us to feed, clothe and keep them safe. New Christians depend on us to care for them also. Everything is new to them. They have no knowledge of the scripture. They may have fear of going to a new church or Bible study group. It is our responsibility as a mature Christians to guide and care for them. SOS Events sends each new Christian a Bible Study an prays for them but they need more than that to grow. Please pray with us that each one will have a spiritual caregiver.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

“An event is when you get up in the morning.” A quote from Tom Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry. Everyday we have opportunity to witness to someone. Maybe in a grocery store, on the phone, in an email or letter. We don’t have to be in an organized event to tell someone about Jesus. At least we can give someone a gospel tract. It is our responsibility as Christians to go and tell. What event is in your life today?
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

SOS Events Ministry has many wonderful volunteers who work in the booth at events and we are thankful for everyone. This week we were extremely blessed to have two retired Pastors work in our booth, both for the first time. Jay, 85 years old, talking to two people at the display board and David, in his 70’s, witnessing from the smaller display. Cynthia, mother of 5 and not a senior citizen, is at the table. Jay and David loved working with SOS Events as it gives them opportunity to do what they love best, telling others about Jesus. If you are retired or know someone who is and wants to witness in a non confrontational way for a few hours when needed, SOS Events is the perfect place for you.
Isaiah 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

SOS Events has some simple rules that are to be followed when witnessing at an event. Years of experience, common sense, prayer and God’s Word were important in the planning and setting guidelines for the team members to follow when working at an event. Rules are made for the protection of the workers, the ministry and most importantly the people we are witnessing to. Sometimes there will be someone who think they can bend the rules or just ignore them. This can cause problems. For instance, the Rule: We must get parents permission to talk to children. If we do not follow that rule it can cause a parent (rightfully) to be upset and we loose opportunity to witness to that family. We as Christians have rules or ordinances to follow set up in God’s Word for our protection and fellowship with Him. Rules called ordinances are a good thing for us to follow.
I Peter 2:13 & 14 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

Everyday we can make a choice to be happy, sad, peaceful or angry. Our attitude can make a difference in our lives but it also can have a good or bad influence on others. If we hear from someone and they are sharing good news it makes us happy but if we are around people who are negative it effects our attitude for the day. Let us decide to be a positive influence on people we are in contact with today. We can make their day.
Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

There is a harmless black Snake that lives on the SOS Events property. He is about 5 ft long and can really frighten us if we come upon him suddenly. Yesterday, while transporting equipment to the Strawberry Festival to set up our display, we realized that the SOS Events van needed an oil change. We pulled into a fast oil change business and they took care of us right away. However, all of a sudden the young man under the van jumped out of the pit ( where the oil was drained). He started yelling and pointing under the van, “There’s a Cobra under the van.” A crowd of workers quickly appeared pointing to the van. Some were afraid, some thought it was funny and all of them wanted our van gone as soon as possible. They finished the job and even though we explained it was a harmless black snake they hurried as fast as possible to get it done. It reminds us that we do have a dangerous serpent, the devil, who will try to deceive us and cause us to sin. We should want him to be gone out of our lives as quickly as possible. The only One that can defeat him is Jesus.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

SOS Events has teams of people who love to win souls at events. In the State of Alabama there are several groups from different areas. The group pictured here is from the Montgomery area. One of the reasons Christians like SOS Events is that it is a team effort. There are always 3 or 4 people working together at an event. God blesses Christians who work together with one goal in mind, winning the lost to Jesus. All that is needed for a team is 3 or 4 people. Think of your friends and you can get a team together in your area. We will come and train you, provide the tools you need to be a witness for Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Today, is Presidents’ Day in the USA. No matter what our political affiliation is, wherever we live or how we feel about our leaders in government, the Bible is very clear on what we need to do for those in authority. It is our responsibility to pray for them. If every Christian would pray for the President , Vice President, Congress, Governor and local leaders we would be doing what the Lord expects us to do. So the challenge today is to take just a few moments and pray for our leaders. There are many people from other countries that read this blog, and you also need to pray for your political leaders.
1 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.

Do you ever get tired of watching the news on TV or social media? There never seems to be any good news, only news of wars, violence and scandals. As Christians it’s our responsibility to get out the good news to everyone that we can. The good news is the gospel, that Jesus Came into the world, died on the cross and rose again. His blood cleanses us from all our sin if we accept Him as our Savior. We can tell people that we meet, we can hand out tracts, we could invite them to a Bible study in our home or invite them to church. The important thing is that we do something to get out that good news.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
