Have a Great Day

April 22, 2017

Want to have a great day today? Do something special for the one you love, spouse, parent or child. It may be something a simple as making their favorite food or leaving them a note in an unexpected place. Maybe it is a friend or neighbor that you could encourage. Call them or stop over with a small gift. A smile to a person you do not know and a friendly “Have a blessed day” may make a huge difference in that persons life. Anything you can do to bless someone else can give you  joy in your day even if you may be feeling down. 

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Our Tongue

James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

Wait!

April 18, 2017

Do you find it hard to wait for certain things? Tempted to have something right now, go into debt only to find out that God would have given it to you if you just would’ve waited. Ready to pack up at an event because we’re not seeing results. That happened over the weekend with some of us at SOS events. Then at the last minute a young man came up to the display, wanted to be sure he was on his way to heaven and was gloriously saved. So glad we waited.

Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Easter Preparation 

April 10, 2017

This is a busy week for people in the ministry as well as most Christians as we prepare for Easter. This is the time of year when many activities are planned to bring the unsaved to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Children’s egg hunts, Church services and other events are taking place this coming weekend that bring many opportunities for people to be saved. Please join with the staff of SOS Events in praying for the unsaved. Then do your part by inviting someone to church, and volunteer to work at a special event. God is not willing that any should perish and will bless you for your participation.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Do You Have 2 Birthdays?

April 7, 2017

There are many birthdays that we celebrate this time of year. SOS Events Ministry sends out many cards to our staff and people involved in the ministry. Birthdays are a time we get together with friends and family. However, the day of our physical birth is not as important as our spiritual birthday. Do you have two birthdays? Jesus said we must be born again.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Storms of Life

April 6, 2017

Thunder and lightning caused many people to wake from a sound sleep today. Children, pets and even some adults woke up with fear. There are many things in our storms of life, sickness, death, divorce and other things that cause fear. Just like the storm passed today so there are things we can do to help us get past the storms in our life. Renew you faith in God. Remember the past and the things He already has carried you through. Read your Bible everyday and maybe several times a day. And pray. This storm will pass. God will carry you through. Joy comes in the morning.

Psalms 30:5 ……weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Too Busy

April 5, 2017

  “If Satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.”  Adrian Rogers

Many of us are busy. Busy doing what is the question. Too busy to serve The Lord by doing things that do not matter? God wants us to serve Him. Prayer, Bible study, Worship, Witnessing and Obeying Him is what He wants from us as Christians. Spend time everyday serving Him. Do not be too busy.

Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Living in the Graveyard?

April 3, 2017

Someone said that “Florida is a graveyard for Christians.” The meaning: they move to Florida to “retire” and they think their work is done including work for the Lord. Sometimes it is hard to get older folks to do anything for Jesus and yet they are the ones who have the time and resources to do more for Him than they ever could when they were working. God intends ALL of us us to work until He calls us home no matter what our age. Are you living in the graveyard?

John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Social Media

March 27, 2017

Social media can be a blessing or a curse. It’s how we use what is given to us that is important. It can bring evil or good into peoples lives. TV, radio and the Internet can bring truth or lies into the lives of anyone who will listen. Our goal is Christians should be to use social media to further the gospel and truth. Today, reach out to someone through Facebook, WeChat or Instagram to encourage them to follow the Lord. You will be amazed at what you can do by just telling someone you are thinking of them and praying for them.

Mark 5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

Priorities 

March 22, 2017

Tired of all the many things that you have to do? Job, family, church, home and all the other activities that sometimes overwhelm you? If you have the attitude that everything you do is to honor The Lord Jesus, then nothing is to hard. Keep the thought that your labor is not in vain. Get your priorities right. God, family and then everything else. Make sure to put Him first.                                                                         

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
