Five ways to grow closer to Jesus

Ruth 3:3

Be freshly cleansed

Be fragrantly consecrated

Be fitly clothed

Be fully committed

Be faithfully compliant

To be a successful soul winner you must be close to Jesus.

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Tool or Toy

July 6, 2015

“Are you a tool for God or a toy for Satan?”

This a quote from one of the Benham brothers on Dr. Charles Stanley’s TV program IN TOUCH. The Benham brothers have a powerful Christhian testimony. They stand against abortion and gay marriage and it cost them a great contract with HGTV. Their program was about flipping houses and helping families that could not afford to own a house have the ability to purchase a home.

HGTV cancelled the contract after pressure from the liberals. The brothers acted with a CHRISTIAN attitude and thanked HGTV for the opportunity and did not get angry or retaliate in any way.

Then they learned that the financial  institution which finances all their real estate business was going to pull all the loans and contracts ruining their successful real estate business. Once again the brothers reacted in a Godly way. They would not change their CHRISTIAN beliefs for fame or money. “It’s in God’s hands” was their remarks. 

After much pressure from the conservative Christians who do business with the bank that handles all the real estate deals, the bank changed and decided to continue financing the Benham brothers business.

Thank the Lord for young men who will stand up for what they believe. 

This story shows how far our country has come in taking away our rights as CHRISTIANS. If we value our freedom given to American citizens by the Constitution we must stand up for our rights. 

Enough people contacted that bank and the decision was reversed. We must stand and do what needs to be done in a Christlike manner and then allow God to bring the Victory.

Ephesians 6:7 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Happy 4th of July

July 4, 2015

God Bless America!! Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!

America has been blessed by the Lord since the founding of our great nation. However, our freedoms are being taken away as the focus has turned away from God. America as we have known it will have the blessing of God taken away if we do not get back to loving and honoring the one true Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today, stop for just a few minutes before the picnics, parties and fireworks and pray for our country that we may return to the only hope of peace and freedom by the true worship of the Lord.

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Soul Winning

What Do You Think About?

June 15, 2015

Sometimes our minds get thinking about things that bring temptation and problems into our lives. The Bible tells us what to think about in Philippians. When our minds start to wander into places we should not go spiritually, think on these things.

This is a good verse to memorize.

  

Jesus is Coming

June 14, 2015

Adrian Rogers, who is now with the Lord. was a great preacher. He told things like it is and his sermons are still up to date as if he was preaching this morning. You can hear some of his sermons on U tube.

He was speaking on the rapture of the church and this was his quote, “Get right or get left.”

JESUS is coming to take those of us who are born again out of this world. It could be today. Are you ready? You do not want to be left behind. To get right and be born again is so simple. Go to SOS home page Scroll down to the “3 Things God Can Not Do” and then go down to the A,B,C’s of salvation. Just follow all the steps, pray and ask JESUS to forgive your sins, come into your heart and make you a new person in Christ.

Don’t wait. JESUS could come today.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Are You a Faithful Servant?

June 13, 2015

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

These words were spoken by JESUS to His disciples and are meaningful to us today. At SOS Events ministry there are many volunteers to do events. Most are faithful and if they commit to do an event they are there on time and do a great job. 

There are a few, unfortunately, who do not take their commitment seriously thus putting a burden on the other workers. Witnessing and winning souls to Christ is a serious responsibility. 

When God directs you to something for Him are you a faithful servant, or do you find an excuse like some of JESUS followers in Matthew 8:21?

Faithfulness is important to JESUS. When you stand before Him will He say, “Well,done thou good and faithful servant.”?

Life is a Vapour

June 12, 2015

The Bible says, “Life is a vapour”. 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.

This week we learned of a friend and family member who died of a heart attack while stopped at a traffic light. He was a man in his early 50’s who thankfully had made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ several years ago and followed Him in baptism in a local church.

Most people think that they have plenty of time to accept Christ and the devil has them fooled into thinking that they can put it off until tomorrow. For them tomorrow may never come.

I am sure when Walt left his house in the morning he never expected to be gone in a few minutes later.

If you are thinking you have plenty of time to make a decision to accept JESUS as your Savior, please stop now and reconsider. You may not have another chance.

It is simple and JESUS is waiting to hear you confess your sin, repent and ask His forgiveness. He loves you, paid for you sins by dying on the cross and is waiting to hear your prayer.

You can pray something like this if you don’t know what to say,

Lord Jesus, I admit I have sinned, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins, I ask that you forgive me and come into my heart and life and change me and make my life new. I invite you to be my Savior and I will follow you for the rest of my life. In JESUS name. Amen.

God is Faithful

June 9, 2015

As the ministry of SOS Events grows the blessings overflow and at the same time the burdens of the staff, volunteers, trainers and event workers seem to be increased also.

Many of our workers and volunteers are over retirement age and along with that comes the problems that is part of the aging process. Some have physical problems, illness and a few have financial concerns.

The younger generation has the challenge of trying to coordinate family, job, church and  working events for SOS Events.

The blessing to all is the faithfulness of our Savior the Lord Jesus, who never leaves or forsakes us and walks with us through trials. He also promised us wisdom and guidance when we follow Him. The blessings to all who are with SOS Events far outweigh all of our burdens. When we witness and see a lost soul come to trust Christ as Savior, see lives changed it is worth every hardship that comes our way.

So today when you pray please add the workers of SOS Events to your list. God knows each of us who has needs  and you will be blessed when you see the results published to answered prayers.

1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”
