SOS Events ministry works in partnership with the local church. Periodically we will post some of the answers to questions that have been asked by fellow workers, pastors and others who may want to know what our beliefs and goals are for the ministry.
Baptism
The focus of SOS is to win souls.
We believe baptism is an ordinance of the church. New believers can be followed up by the church, which would include discipleship, baptism and membership to serve the Lord along side fellow believers.
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

America needs prayer. Our country is 238 years old and is in danger of collapsing from without and from within. Many of us will celebrate the 4th of July with picnics, fireworks and family parties not even taking one minute to stop and thank God for our great Country and ask His continued blessing on the USA. Christian, please take time to pray for America in these perilous time.
2 Chronicles 7:14 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

SOS EVENTS has some dedicated workers who go out to win souls no matter what the weather. In Florida this season of year the temperature rises to between 85 and 95 degrees and it feels much hotter as the day progresses. However, every Wednesday there are faithful workers who go to the Flea Market in Plant City to win souls. In the last 2 weeks 18 people have trusted Jesus as their Savior. That is dedication. These workers are very much appreciated and deserve a giant THANK YOU.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

This past weekend was spent at a reunion with friends and family. What a blessing to share the good times we had together many years ago. It is hard to say good bye to some of these people we are thinking we will not see them again this side of Heaven. But, what a reunion that will be when we all get to Heaven and have eternity to spend with first of all our Savior Jesus and then with our loved ones who have gone on before.
A few people did not come to the school reunion and we missed them. Think of how sad it will be to be in Heaven if friends or family are missing.
Conclusion: Christian, witness to that friend or relative who is not saved. You would be surprised at how many are waiting for you to invite them to be saved.
Unsaved friend, you do not want to miss the great Reunion in Heaven when you die. Make sure of your salvation today.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

“The Word of God is our chart and compass as Christian Fathers. Without it we lose our way.” Anonymous
A Christian father has a responsibility to teach his children the Word of God. To often in today’s world that training is left to Sunday school, Christian school, Grandma or neglected altogether. Getting the family together for Bible reading and prayer daily is the way to rear children who will not loose their way as teenagers and adults. Dads, it is not to late to start now.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sometimes as Christians we have to do things that are really hard. Standing for your convictions when everyone else is going along with the crowd. Telling the truth when it would be easier to not say anything to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. Witnessing to a close friend or relative when you know they will reject the gospel. Forgiving someone who has seriously hurt you.
These are just a few things that we may be called on to do. But we have the power and strength to do whatever is hard because God is with us in every situation and will bless our efforts when we follow Biblical principles. If we pray about those hard things and trust God to help us do the right thing, He does give the power and strength to do them.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

“God Will Carry You Through” is the title of a book by Max Lucado. Not necessarily one of my favorite authors but I found this book on my bookshelf with a personal note from my husband, Tom Curtis, who went home to be with the Lord one month ago today. (This book sat on the shelf for 2 years and I never picked it up until today)
How special and wonderful is the Lord. The note said, “The Lord showed me this book. Read it before you write the blog. I love you. Tom”
How perfect. The blessing is to know That God will carry me through and He will carry you through each problem and difficulty in life. The Bible has so many wonderful verses to help in every situation. All we have to do is trust Him and claim the promises in His Word.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
