Music is very important to the Christian believer. Today Christian music takes on many forms. Hymns, traditional, contemporary, rock, pop, country and several others.
Much of it has taken on the beat of the secular world. This is where the Christian needs to be wise in what kind of music they hear.
God loves to be worshiped in song. David, a man after God’s heart was a song writer, singer and played an instrument. Music was the only thing that calmed King Saul when he was agitated.
Does the music honor God? Is it praise to Him or just something that makes the listener feel good. Is it music that would tempt the listener into going back into their old lifestyle or is it something that lifts the soul and the spirit?
Like everything in the Christian life we make choices. Pray about the kind of music you regularly listen to.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

While many people were still celebrating the Christmas season over the weekend, SOS Events had 3 dedicated volunteers go to the Big Top Flea Market in Tampa, Florida to witness for the Lord.
Ten people received the gift of salvation at that booth.
Ten people are on their way to heaven because three men gave up a few hours of their time to witness for our Lord.
SOS is blessed to have volunteers all over the USA who give of their time and energy to bring people to Jesus in all seasons.
There is room for many more in SOS wherever you live. Imagine just a few hours a week or a month in any season and you can have the joy of seeing people come to Christ.
It is simple and fun. A team ministry. Contact SOS for more information.
Email: info@sosevents.org or call the Founder, Tom. He will personally talk to you about how you can become a soul winner with SOS. (813)784-8242.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;

The New Year is almost here. The Bible says to number out days, that we may seek wisdom. True wisdom comes from God.
Are you thinking of what the New Year will bring? Maybe a new job, or a weight loss program, a new house or a new member in the family. All good goals. Sometimes our minds focus on the past and the future that we forget to seek wisdom for today.
The past is gone, the future unknown but today is all God promises. December 28, 2014 is numbered for us to seek God’s wisdom in every area of our lives.

Did you remember to give JESUS the gift He wanted for Christmas? Many years ago, a little boy only two or three years old was in a Christmas program at a small church.
I have never forgotten the words this small child spoke on that day.
“I’m not very big
Nor very tall you see
but to the dear Lord Jesus
I give all of me.”
That small child is now a man an has given his life to the Lord working with children and influencing multitudes of lives to give their all to Jesus also.
Have you given all of you to Jesus?
Mark 10:21
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest:go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

The gifts have been opened, the feasting is done, some people are rejoicing, some are not pleased. Christmas 2014 is over.
For those of us who know the true meaning of Christmas the joy is still there, but for those who have never accepted God’s gift of salvation through Jesus there is a letdown today.
It is never too late to invite JESUS to forgive you for your sins, come into your heart and life and begin a new life with Him.
Today, the real joy of Christmas can be yours.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

“Christmas can be celebrated in the schoolroom with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there can be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student would ask why it was called Christmas.”
Ronald Reagan
Most children in the USA will be having “holiday” parties in school today, as the school will close for Christmas break. What a tragedy that we have come so far in our country that the true meaning of Christmas cannot be taught or mentioned in our public schools.
Our country was founded on Christian principles. Freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion.
Our greeting should be Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays. Let us continue to keep Christ in Christmas.
Luke 1:14
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

Candy Canes are something that we usually only see at Christmas time. Another tool that can be used to present the gospel.
Candy Canes are inexpensive, most people like them and they are rarely refused if offered as a gift. At the Flea Market last week there were plenty of candy canes to give to the people who passed by.
A smile, a greeting of Merry Christmas and then a question, “Are you 50, 75, or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?
The results, 5 people trusted Jesus as their Savior.
Why not buy a box of candy canes as you are shopping and use them as a witnessing tool? That would give you 12 opportunities to present the gospel.
SOS soul winners will be at events between now and Christmas. Pray with us for souls.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

What do you do with Santa?
You can’t ignore him because he is pictured everywhere. Your children will see and hear about him. Other children will be excited and talk about him.
Do you really want your children to find out you did not tell them the truth?
In our home, having a large family, we did talk about Santa this way.
Santa is pretend. A fairy tale like Cinderella or Snow White. Fun to think about but they are not real.
They were allowed to sit on Santa’s lap and have their picture taken but they knew that he was just a man pretending to be Santa.
The gifts they receive come from Daddy and Mommy because God gives blessings of being able to work.
We had fun with our children and played make believe with them about Santa but always told them the real meaning of Christmas is because it is Jesus birthday.
The manger scene was always in a prominent place in our home. (Still is)
We celebrated His birthday with a cake. Also, taught the true joy is in giving not receiving.
Did this hurt our children? No. They really enjoyed Christmas but never had the pain of finding out that Santa is not real and that their parents had not told the truth.
We always told them not to tell their friends because their Mom or Dad must tell them when it is time for them to know.
Have fun with your children this Christmas. Make some memories that are uniquely yours.
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
