God’s Plan

September 1, 2016

Sometimes events cannot be held because of stormy weather and yesterday was one of those days in Florida. A tropical storm shut the Wednesday, Flea Market down so no decisions for Christ. We get disappointed when our plans get changed and things don’t go the way we plan, but that is the time to remember that God is in control and He knows our heart.

So our team didn’t get to witness but, a lot of office work got done. So we are Praising the Lord for His goodness.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

A Parking Place

August 28, 2016

This is the final true story of children’s answers to prayer, however, there are many more that could be shared as God delights in the simple faith of children.

When Tom’s daughter, Allison, was small she was excited to go to the fireworks on 4th of July. Not wanting to disappoint her Tom drove to the busy park where the fireworks were to be displayed. There was not a parking place to be had in that crowded area that evening. He circled round several times without success.

Alison told her Dad that Jesus would find them a parking place. Tom looked in the rear view mirror and watched as Allison prayed this prayer, “Dear Jesus, my Daddy needs a parking place. Would you please give him one.”

Just then a man knocked on the window and asked Tom if he had any children in the car. Tom answered, “Yes, my daughter.”

The man said, “Every year we save a parking place for someone with a child, pull under our carport.” God hears and answers prayer.

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Balloon, Necklace and A Parking Place

August 26, 2016

What do these 3 things have in common? They are all answers to a child’s prayer. For the next three days you will be able to find out how God answers prayer of a little child.

When Diana’s son, Anthony, was very young he went shopping with his Mom. It is typical for a child to want something at a store and he saw this beautiful balloon. He wanted it but money was short then and Diana told him they didn’t have money for the balloon.

“Why don’t you ask Jesus for the balloon?” his mother told him. So Anthony prayed and did ask Jesus for the balloon.

When the mail came there was a letter from Diana’s Mom with one dollar in it. Just enough for Anthony’s balloon. They went and brought the balloon. A little boy’s prayer was answered even before he asked because the letter was mailed days before.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

The Christian Olympics

August 19, 2016

Many people are watching the summer Olympics and cheer on their favorite person or team. The Bible has a lot to say about the Christian life being like a sports activity, however, does not endorse the Olymics as  they honored false gods. Wrestling, boxing, racing, archery just to name a few sporting events mentioned in the Bible. Are you in the Christian race?
2 Timothy 2:5, Philippians-3-14, 1-Corinthians-9-24 &25

Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Important Education

August 18, 2016

School has started or about to start in most USA states. The most important textbook we can have at any age, child or adult, is the Bible. Make sue that the Bible is the main source of education for yourself and your family.

Witnessing

August 17, 2016

“If we understand what lies ahead for those who do not know Christ, there will be a sense of urgency in our witness.” – David Jeremiah

Witnessing is not a calling or a gift, it is a command. People around us are dying without Christ and we have excuses why we do not witness and win souls. We must not let an opportunity to witness pass without telling them about Jesus. Their eternal lives depend upon it.

Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

Caught Up

August 13, 2016

         Caught Up Together
I sing hallelujah that Jesus is coming, Oh what the raising of life from the dead: the graves bursting open to give up God’s children, those bodies long moldering in graves dusty bed.

Chorus: Caught up together, together, caught up with Jesus and never to part; changed in a moment to be with my Savior, caught up together never to part. 
John R. Rice

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Attention Senior Citizens

August 12, 2016

Today a plea goes out to all Christians who are retired or about to be. Do not “retire” from serving God. Most of you who are in good health or even if you have some problems, can be used to bring souls to Jesus.

Get busy, the time is short. Some of the ways God can use you: Hand out tracts when shopping or at a restaurant. Participate at your church in some area of service, the nursery usually needs volunteers. Prayer, even if you can not get out you can pray. The most needed resource for any church or ministry is prayer.

Get involved with a ministry. SOS Events is always looking for volunteers to go to events. 3 or 4 hours a week, a month or even a year would be a great blessing. 

Follow the Lord’s leading. SOS Events founders were 62 and 64 when the ministry began 15 years ago and since that time over 50,000 souls have made decisions for Christ. You are not too old so let’s get busy for the Lord.

Psalms 71:18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

Blessings in Tennessee 

August 11, 2016

Carolyn Curtis traveled to Tennessee yesterday to train new soul winners, oversee an event and speak to the wonderful people at Bible  Baptist Church in Hendersonville. The Pastor and people were great and welcoming and many came to tell Carolyn they were inspired to win souls, be witnesses for the Lord and will pray for SOS Events. 

Tomorrow there is a training Spring Hill, TN and Saturday a “churchyard” event. Please pray that many will come to know Jesus and that Christians will be encouraged to witness for the Lord.

What a privilege and joy to be on the road traveling and Serving Our Savior. God has blessed the ministry and especially given opportunity to Carolyn to be an encouragement to others and expand SOS Events into a new area of Tennessee on Saturday in Spring Hill.

Psalms 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Humble and Committed

August 10, 2016

Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events Ministry,  kept a daily journal with prayer requests and his thoughts about family, friends and Christian living. These journals are a blessing as we now have in his own handwriting his prayers and goals for the ministry.

In a journal from the year 2000, before SOS Events was founded, there were two words he used to describe a successful Christian, especially a soul winner. They must be humble and committed. Traits that he displayed in his own life. 

Let us take a lesson from a man who loved the Lord with all his heart and not only wrote encouraging words but lived them daily.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
