For our friends in other Countries. Tomorrow we celebrate Mother’s Day in the USA. It is a time that we honor our Mothers who have done so much for us, but even if your country does not have an official day to honor your mother it is a biblical principle. Honor your Mother and you will honor God.
Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Carolyn Curtis is blessed to celebrate her daughter, Judy’s retirement. They are spending a few days at Panama City Beach in Florida enjoying the beautiful weather, good food and fellowship. Even Jesus got away to rest for awhile, but there is nowhere in the Bible that talks about retirement from God’s work. In fact, Christians who are blessed with good health and do not have to go to a secular job should spend more tim working for the Lord. If you are blessed to be in that position and are looking for a way to Serve Our Savior contact SOS Events ministry and we will help you to get started on the best “job” you will ever have and the pay is great….treasure in Heaven. (All our workers are volunteers)
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.
A young man who just trusted Jesus as his Savior in the SOS Events booth told the soul winner that he had no family. What a blessing to be able to tell him, “You have a family now, when you asked Jesus to be your Savior you were born again into God’s family and you have brothers and sisters in Christ.” Pray for this man that he will be welcomed into a local church.
Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Two of the SOS Events staff went to check out public events in their area yesterday that SOS Events may have opportunity to have a booth in the future. Both events had hundreds of people that probably the majority were not saved. You have opportunities in your area also, however, the problem is Christians who are unwilling to go soul winning at an event. Look around. Hundreds of people who do not know how to get to Heaven because we are too lazy or have “more important” things to do than be a witness for the Lord. Let the Holy Spirit search your heart.
Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
After a visit to the Halocaust Meseum in St. Petersburg, Fl, I was reminded of Corrie Ten Boom a dedicated Christian, and her family who saved the lives of many Jews during World War II. She and her family were caught and Corrie and Betsie (her sister) were sent to Herzogenbusch political concentration camp, and finally to Ravensbrück, a women’s labor camp in Germany. Betsie died there and because of a clerical error Corrie was released just before the women in that prison were sent to the gas chambers. Did Corrie harbor hatred for her enemies. No! She found the answer to peace in the Bible. Love and Forgiveness. “Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.” Corrie Ten Boom
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Do we as Christians deny our Lord by keeping our mouths shut instead of witnessing like the Bible commands? We talk about everything else but when it comes to telling someone about the Lord we don’t. Why is it that a group of Christians will be happy to go for hours to fellowship but will not take 3 or 4 hours a week, a month or even a year to witness? It is time we stop being ashamed and be like Paul who wrote the book of Romans in the New Testament. Are we silent because we are ashamed?
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;
James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
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.
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.
