Is Your Battery Recharged?

June 13, 2017

SOS Events Ministry owns a van that is used to transport things needed for events and to pick up materials and supplies. It runs very well if it is used often and is kept well maintained. However, sometimes it will not be used for several months and the battery runs down.  Then it will not run until we recharge the battery. Christian life is exactly like that. If we do not maintain our hearts and minds in good spiritual condition we will run down and we can not be effective for the Lord. Our “batteries” need recharging daily by reading our Bible, prayer and seeking God’s will and blessing each day.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Got Problems?

June 7, 2017

Are you hurting from problems, physical, financial or spiritual? Do not be discouraged, look to the One who can bring comfort to you, the Lord Jesus. Also, seek help from others. Physical, God gave us doctors and medicine to help us with our health problems. Financial, there are many good godly programs available to help you get out of debt. Spiritual, read your Bible daily and talk to a Pastor or Councilor who can help you have victory over the problem. 

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

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. 

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 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;
