Presidential Race

January 30, 2016

January is almost over in a presidential election year. TV, radio, newspapers and magazines seem to have one theme, the election. As an American I want to be informed but get weary of hearing the same thing over and over again.

Each candidate say they have the answer for our country, but the Bible has only one solution to the problems in any nation.

Christians can make a difference in the nation that you reside. The Bible says we must humble ourselves, seek God’s face and He will heal our land. It is our responsibility to be informed, vote, but the most important thing that we can do is put God first in our lives, Love and honor Him and trust Him for the results.

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.

Going Fishing?

January 26, 2016

This week a Pastor from Virginia was excited to help expand SOS Events ministry. He is planning a training in the next month or two as several people have expressed interest in learning the “3 Things God Can Not Do.”

In our conversation he said one of the ladies that was at an SOS training a few years ago, just last week took one of the 3 Things tract, used it to witness to her brother in law and he accepted Christ. What joy! Even after years this woman used what she had learned and used it to fish for men. 

Using the simple plan of salvation in SOS Events materials works with enthusiasm of the soul winner and the power of the Holy Spirit. Want to learn how to fish?

Ecclesiastes 11:1​ Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

Matthew 4:19  And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Today is an Event

January 21, 2016

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.

Politics

January 18, 2016

As a citizen of the USA we have a responsibility to be informed about the issues the people running for president and other offices in our government. As a Christian we have the responsibility to love one another.

Having watched all the current debates both Democratic and Republican I see that the candidates have many different opinions on how they are going to run the country if they are elected. 

Christians also have many different opinions on who should be the next president. Sometimes our opinions are voiced in heated discussions and even arguments. We must be careful not to offend a Christian brother or sister because it can cause unrepairable damage in our homes, churches and friendships. It is better to agree to disagree than to fight among ourselves.

Keep informed, pray for our government and leaders and get out and vote. The most important thing is to love one another. Remember God is still on the throne. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. Let us not let politics separate the love we have for one another. 

John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Need Dirctions?

January 9, 2016

Many verses in the Bible help us in our daily walk with the Lord. Proverbs 3:5&6 are two of the verses that give us direction.

These verses tell us to Trust in the Lord no matter what the circumstances. Trust Him. Then acknowledge Him by telling others of His goodness. He promises to give us good direction in our lives. Sometimes we have to wait awhile for His plan for us is made clear but if we keep praying, trusting and don’t give up He will show us what His will is for our lives.

Proverbs 3:5&6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

The Turtle and the Hare

January 6, 2016

 Have you ever heard the fable of the turtle and the hare? They were in a race and the rabbit got so far ahead he thought he would rest awhile, but the turtle kept his steady pace passed the rabbit and won the race.

The big events are like the rabbit. Fairs, Strawberry Festival and other events with Thousands of people in attendance. Usually these events will have between 200 to 600 people saved. Praise the Lord.

The Wednesday flea market is like the turtle. Every week faithful workers go early (between 5 and 6 am) in the morning to set up the tent and displays. Sometimes as few as 3 people get saved and some weeks 20 or 30. It all adds up and in 2015 over 750 decisions were recorded. 

The turtle just kept on going in a steady pace and won. SOS Events faithful workers just keep on going and God brings blessings to them each week. 

SOS is thankful for all events and all workers. Some of our workers will work once or twice a year at the “big” rabbit events but it is the Wednesday “turtle” workers who see the most people make decisions at the end of the year.

Every Christian is in the race. Are you  the “turtle” or the “hare”?

1 Corinthians 9:24  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Prophecy Fulfilled 

December 29, 2015

Prophesy fulfilled. After the wise men’s visit, Joseph was warned in a dream to take Jesus and Mary and flee to Egypt. Herod was seeking to kill Jesus and not getting a report back from the wise men he had all the young children in Bethlehem killed. But Jesus was safe and the little family stayed in Egypt until Herod was dead.

Then once again Joseph had a dream and returned but went to live in Nazareth where Jesus grew from childhood until He started His earthly ministry.

God’s Word is true. Every prophesy concerning Jesus birth was fulfilled down to the last detail. Many people leave Jesus in the manger as a baby but do not believe future events also predicted in the Bible. Jesus is the Messiah, He did die on the cross and He is coming again to rule and reign over all the world. Are you ready for a great future with Jesus the coming King?

Matthew 2:13-15 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

December 14, 2015

“Hark the Herald Angels Sing” was written in the 1700’s by Charles Wesley. He and his brother John were dynamic preachers in that time and were responsible for revival in both England and America.They founded the Methodist Church.

Charles wrote hundreds of hymns, first published in the Methodist Hymnal.

He was saved under the preaching of George Whitfield, who also had a part in the lyrics of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” as he changed some of the words to the hymn as we know it today.

The influence of these great men of the faith are still being felt today. If only we would see men today of such dedication to the preaching of the Gospel.

Unfortunately a lot of the churches have started singing “new” Christmas songs and the old familiar hymns are being tossed aside, along with the power of the Holy Spirit. Programs have replaced power in many churches today. If you hear or sing this great hymn this Christmas stop for a minute or two and pray for revival. Our churches need revival, our homes need revival and our nation needs revival.
1. Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled!

Joyful, all ye nations, rise;

Join the triumph of the skies;

With th’angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem!

(Chorus)

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King!

2. Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings,

Ris’n with healing in his wings.

Mild he lays his glory by,

Born that man no more may die;

Born to raise the sons of earth,

Born to give them second birth.
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Sunday Morning Christian?

December 13, 2015

Are you a Sunday Morning Christian? Or worse yet a twice a year Christian, (Christmas and Easter) you only go to church on those times or maybe to a wedding or funeral. 

Today may be the day you will go. God doesn’t want your outward show. He wants all of you, everyday 24 hours a day. 

If you are truly born again then worship Him with your life and action 24/7. If you are not saved, go to church today and if the Pastor gives the gospel and an opportunity to invite Jesus into your heart and forgive your sins then do that today. Maybe you are not planning go to church today, you can be saved as you read this. Admit to God you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus died on the cross as payment for your sins, and Call on Him to save you. 

Pray this simple prayer but mean it with your heart: Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins. I ask that you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you Jesus. Amen

This can be the happiest Christmas you have ever had. Give Jesus the best gift you have, YOURSELF.

Romans 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Church, Full or Empty?

December 6, 2015

The church is decorated for Christmas, wreaths, garlands, lights, beautiful flowers. The choir is prepared, the Pastor has his message ready and the congregation comes to worship.

There are two times a year when the churches are full, Christmas and Easter. Both times are to celebrate the coming of Jesus. Christmas to celebrate His birth and Easter to celebrate his coming out of the grave and victory over death.

Are you a two times a year church goer? If that is the only time you worship Jesus, you may miss His third coming when He will meet born again Christians in the air.

Then the churches that preach the gospel should be empty. Think about going to church and it is almost empty. No Pastor, no choir, only a few people who missed the true message of Jesus birth. God sent His Son as a gift that we might be saved. Do not be left to go to an empty church. Accept God’s gift of salvation today, then go to church and celebrate Jesus’ birth and you can truly worship from your heart.

Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
