Newborn Babies

September 22, 2017

Most of the time it’s exciting to hear of the birth of a new baby. We shower them with love and kisses and take care of them, feed them and welcome them into our family. But there are babies born who are unwanted and unloved and not cared for properly. Children are a responsibility. New Christian converts are babes in Christ and should be loved and cared for, not left to themselves to grow in the Lord. They are our responsibility. This is why it is so important to follow up on people who have been saved. If you know a new Christian, take that responsibility seriously and invite them to church, Bible studies and teach them to follow the Lord. SOS Events Ministry tries to follow up with every new Christian that makes a decision by sending a Bible study to each one, and then the local church can visit and see them grow.

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

The Devil’s Fear

September 17, 2017

Going to church today? That is good, but do you have a close relationship with Jesus?

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Fear

September 16, 2017

Maybe you fear what people think of you… Not having enough money… Public speaking, flying, being far from home, or spiders… Failure or rejection… Losing a loved one… Disease or pain… Death…. Fear is mentioned in the KJV version of the Bible over 500 times. Over 100 of those verses say, Fear Not. Trusting in the Lord is the only way to overcome fear. 

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

How We Should Live

September 15, 2017

“We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.”- Adrian Rogers

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Billy Graham

September 9, 2017

Billy Graham was 97 years old on 9/7. He has had more influence for the gospel in the USA and around the world than any other preacher in our lifetime. 


John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jesus Our Shelter

September 8, 2017

For us who are in the path of the storm, a special reminder to look to Jesus for wisdom, comfort and protection. To those of you who are not affected by the storms please pray for those who are.

Psalms 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Irma

September 6, 2017

There is a great storm coming in our direction within the next few days, for the people who live in Florida and the eastern USA. Hurricanes are dangerous as we have seen in Texas recently. Many people are frightened and are preparing as they should, however, as Christians we should not fear. Pray and trust the Lord for safety. Material things can be replaced but lives cannot.

Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Football Season 

September 5, 2017

It is football season. The true football fan will spend money for clothing in their favorite teams colors. They spend Sunday afternoon at the game or glued to the television and cheer and yell when their favorite player makes a touchdown. What enthusiasm for a game. We have someone much greater that the best football star that ever lived and that is the Lord Jesus. Let us show some enthusiasm for Him and tell others about The gift of salvation He has given us. That is something we can shout about, and we can never loose.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

You Need Church Fellowship

September 3, 2017

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Jesus My Friend

September 2, 2017

This hymn written by Will L. Thompson in 1904 expresses what Jesus should mean to every Christian.

Jesus is all the world to me,

My life, my joy, my all;He is my strength from day to day,
Without Him I would fall.

When I am sad, to Him I go,

No other one can cheer me so;

When I am sad, He makes me glad,

He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me,

My Friend in trials sore;

I go to Him for blessings, and

He gives them o’er and o’er.

He sends the sunshine and the rain,

He sends the harvest’s golden grain;

Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,

He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me,

And true to Him I’ll be;

Oh, how could I this Friend deny,

When He’s so true to me?

Following Him I know I’m right,

He watches o’er me day and night;

Following Him by day and night,

He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me,

I want no better Friend;

I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when

Life’s fleeting days shall end.

Beautiful life with such a Friend,

Beautiful life that has no end;

Eternal life, eternal joy,

He’s my Friend.
