Disappointed?

October 9, 2016

Have you ever been disappointed or discouraged? We must remember God is in control of every situation.

This weekend SOS Events had two large events scheduled and both were cancelled on Saturday because of heavy wind and rain. That meant that no one would be saved at these events. We know that it is God’s will to have people be saved so why the bad weather? Then we remember, He is in control. 

Our team member Stephanie drove from Pennsylvania to New Jersey but was it a waste? No. She had opportunity to meet several people from the NJ team and that will open future doors for her.

Carolyn and Beka drove from Florida to Virginia to oversee a new team. Today, they are hoping to be able to witness at the event after church if the tent and materials have not been distroyed by the heavy winds yesterday. Waste of time and effort? Absolutely not. Family is in the area and there was time for fellowship and a total day of rest which was needed. God can do in a few hours today what all of us would have done over the whole weekend. And if not, we still will trust Him and Praise the Lord for His goodness.

As He delivered the 3 men from the fiery furnace, He is able to turn disappointment into joy. God cannot change.

Daniel 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

Mid Week

October 5, 2016

Mid week for some people is a time to look forward to the weekend to relax and enjoy free time. For those of us at SOS Events ministry it is a time to look forward to seeing souls come to salvation.

Please pray for the weekly Wednesday Plant City Flea Market, going on as this is being written. Pray for the workers that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit and that the Lord will bring people to the booth to be saved.

Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Are You Making A Difference?

September 30, 2016

Adrian Rogers had some great sermons which are still recorded and broadcasted on radio and YouTube. His message on soul winning is one of the best I’ve ever heard. This is what he said about Christians who use the excuse they don’t have the gift of soul winning. “Soul winning is not a gift, it is a command.”

He also said that 90% of Christians have never even lead one person to the Lord. The tragedy is that most Christians don’t even care.

This is a sad commentary and it must break God’s heart. Jesus came to earth, was crucified, buried and rose again that people may be saved. How about you? Are you making a difference?

Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

Pray for Police Officers

September 24, 2016

We rarely post something from Face Book on the SOS Blog, but  police officers are in danger everyday for doing their job, protecting us. Please pray for this officer and all the police personel as they daily put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

“I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Brandon McNeal I’m a police officer. I am asking that you will pray for me and each and every other officer around the world. We are under attack and we need the prayers of all God’s saints! Will you SHARE THIS and remind people to pray for us? “-Officer Brandon McNeal.


1 Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Pray for America

September 11, 2016

Remembering 9/11/01 today, 15 years later. Right after that terrible day for all Americans, our churches were full, people prayed and ask God for help and safety and now, sadly, we as a nation have forgotten and turned back to complacency and prayerlessness. We need to turn back to God and become a “Christian” Nation again as our founding fathers intended. The Constitution says, “Freedom of religion” not freedom from religion. Pray for the USA.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.


Are You Ready?

September 9, 2016

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

SOS Events Needs You

September 7, 2016

New events are being added to the SOS EVENTS calendar for the September to December busy season. We are thankful for the opportunities God gives us to win souls. Please pray for the workers and the lost that they will be saved.

You can have a part in the blessings. Pray, give and participate. There is always room for more events and more volunteers. SOS Events needs you to help in any way you can. Lost souls are waiting to hear the gospel.

Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Our Freedom

September 6, 2016

Federal court judge Carlton Reeves, appointed by Obama, has ordered the marching band of Brandon High School (Mississippi) to remove the hymn, “How Great Thou Art”, from its half-time show. Everyday our Christian freedoms are being taken away in America.
This coming election is so important because the judges make decisions that effect our lives. The new president will appoint one to four new Suoreme Court Justices in the next few years. Study the issues and realize it is not just the president you are voting for but even more important who is elected will appoint these Judges. We must not allow any more of our freedoms to be taken away.

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Marriage

September 5, 2016

This photo was taken 36 years ago today. Congratulations to Wil and Danielle Slater. They were both only 18 years old and have stayed true to one another and have served the Lord together through many years of happiness and trials. It is a great blessing to see marriages that endure the test of time.

There is another marriage that Christians can look forward to that will last for eternity and that is the “marriage supper of the Lamb”. That is when the bridegroom, Jesus, takes His bride “the church” to be His. The church is all New Testiment Christians who have trusted in Jesus to be their Savior. What a glorious wedding feast that will be. Are you going to the Wedding?  

Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

A Parking Place

August 28, 2016

This is the final true story of children’s answers to prayer, however, there are many more that could be shared as God delights in the simple faith of children.

When Tom’s daughter, Allison, was small she was excited to go to the fireworks on 4th of July. Not wanting to disappoint her Tom drove to the busy park where the fireworks were to be displayed. There was not a parking place to be had in that crowded area that evening. He circled round several times without success.

Alison told her Dad that Jesus would find them a parking place. Tom looked in the rear view mirror and watched as Allison prayed this prayer, “Dear Jesus, my Daddy needs a parking place. Would you please give him one.”

Just then a man knocked on the window and asked Tom if he had any children in the car. Tom answered, “Yes, my daughter.”

The man said, “Every year we save a parking place for someone with a child, pull under our carport.” God hears and answers prayer.

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
