A recent Lifeway research survey revealed what most of us already know: Christians are reluctant to share their faith. According to Lifeway, 80% of evangelicals know they are called to evangelize, but 61% admit they’ve not had a spiritual conversation with anyone in the last six months.Many have offered new research and fresh strategies to motivate Christians. This is helpful. However, our hesitance to evangelize is less a matter of faulty methods and lack of opportunity. It goes deeper. There are three spiritual reasons why we don’t evangelize and in the next few days you can find out why they are.
Don’t be in the 61%. Tell someone about Jesus today. You can at least hand someone a tract, with a smile and ask them to read it.
2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Monday morning and you look at your calendar for the week and wonder how you will get everything done. The days are full, the schedule is overwhelming and your energy is lacking. First, stop and take a few minutes to pray and seek God’s wisdom and help and your day will be better. You will get through this week and when you look back you can Praise the Lord that He was with you through this busy time. Remember those minutes you spend with Him makes everyday go smoothly.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Little is known of some of the original disciples, except of course Judas who betrayed Jesus. The study of each of them show us what God can do with ordinary men. They were from all walks of life, fishermen and tax collectors. Some were respected and others hated.
Jesus is no respecter of people. He loved them regardless of what they did for a living, what their position in life. He gave everyone an opportunity to to follow Him just as He gives us that opportunity today. He knew Judas would betray Him, Peter would deny Him and that all would run at His crucifixion. Still He used 11 of these men to preach the gospel and become the leaders of the Christian Faith.
We too can be used of God to further the Gospel. It is our commitment to God and determination to follow Him that will make us successful. The plan of salvation is simple and it is easy to witness but it is not easy to follow Christ with no reservations. Are we going to follow when the path is easy and run when things get tough? We serve a risen Savior and still have freedom to tell others. Let us use our time to bring others to Jesus.
Twelve men changed the world with the gospel. If each of us would win those around us, we could change the world today.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
The Bible says that our life here on earth is short and implies that death is unpredictable. How true. That is why we must take advantage of every moment we have.
The most important thing is to be ready. Do you think you have time and are waiting to be saved? Don’t wait any longer. Today may be your last opportunity to ask Jesus to forgive you.
Have unresolved problems in a relationship? Tomorrow may be to late. Restore your broken friendship today.
Things to do you have been putting off until a more convenient time? Do it now.
Give your spouse, child or friend a hug today and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. You have today. Don’t waste it.

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry? Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die? Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand? Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you damned?”
Leonard Ravenhill
People around us are dying without Christ. We need to stop sitting and start witnessing. All of us can pray for the lost and we can had out a tract. Most of us have opportunities to witness to someone, a delivery man, a wrong number on the phone, a person in the grocery store. Look for people to tell about Jesus. When you get to heaven, do not go in empty handed? Many Christians have never won anybody to Jesus in their lifetime. How sad. Do not be one of them. Tell someone about Jesus today.
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.

Today in our world there is a great lack of true wisdom. We see politicians make decisions that effect all of us but they don’t want these decisions to pertain to themselves. Some police officers believe they are above the law but are quick to make the average citizen obey whatever they say. Teachers who take advantage of students, etc., we could go on and on, but the main problem is that we have allowed the lawmakers to take God out of our society.
We need wisdom in our homes, our cities, counties and nation.
Today’s post is one that was written two years ago and unfortunately nothing has changed. In fact things are getting worse. The Bible does predict that things will get worse before Jesus returns. Are you ready for His return?
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

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.

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.

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.

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.
