Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Two Birthdays

June 1, 2017

This time of year there are many birthdays including SOS Events cofounder, Carolyn Curtis. There are celebrations with cake, gifts, cards and phone calls but that is not the Birthday that is most important. The birthday which will be the one to celebrate for all eternity is the day that we are born again. Do you have 2 birthdays?

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Happy?

May 30, 2017

Want to be happy in life? There is an old hymn that says it all; Trust and obey for there’s no other way, To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey. I have included the words because each verse gives us an answer for our problems.

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. 

When we walk with the Lord

  In the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way;

  While we do His good will,

  He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus: Trust and obey,

For there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus,

  But to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,

  Not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away;

  Not a doubt or a fear,

  Not a sigh or a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear,

  Not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly repay;

  Not a grief or a loss,

  Not a frown or a cross,

But is blest if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove

  The delights of His love,

Until all on the altar we lay;

  For the favor He shows,

  And the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet

  We will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;

  What He says we will do;

  Where He sends, we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.



Love or Hate

May 28, 2017

Written on a church sign:  I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Mark 5:43-44 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Memorial Day Weekend

May 27, 2017

As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation’s wars. This is not just a weekend to have a picnic or party with friends and relatives, but a time to remember we are free in America because of the men and women who have fought and some died to give us that freedom. Take time in your busy schedule to pray for our troops and if you have someone in the service call, message or text them to thank them for there service.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Brighten Your Corner

May 22, 2017

There is a little song “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.

Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Please Pray

May 17, 2017

Today is Plant City Flea Market. Please pray for SOS Events volunteers as they are witnessing to the people who walk by the booth. The weather is expected to reach 90 degrees by noon. That does not stop our faithful workers. Pray for souls today.

Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Monday Morning

May 15, 2017

Monday morning after a blessed and busy weekend. Maybe you are not looking forward to another work week. Remember that this is a day that the Lord has made, decide to rejoice in it. Attitude can make a big difference. I will rejoice. It is a decision.

Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Honor Mothers

May 13, 2017

For our friends in other Countries. Tomorrow we celebrate Mother’s Day in the USA. It is a time that we honor our Mothers who have done so much for us, but even if your country does not have an official day to honor your mother it is a biblical principle.    Honor your Mother and you will honor God.

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Police Officers

May 11, 2017

Today we at SOS Events would like to honor our police officers who work everyday to keep us safe. Pray for your local and state police officers. We are thankful for them. They put their lives on the line for us and deserve our prayers and respect.

Ephesians 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
