Witness for JESUS 

March 22, 2015

JESUS came into the world to die on the cross so people could be saved from the penalty of their sins. His love for us is beyond our comprehension. 

His will for those of us who are saved is to tell others of His great love and give them the plan of salvation. Many Christians do not witness. Fear is probably the biggest reason they do not tell others. SOS Events simple method the “3 Things God CanNot Do” helps to take away fear and excuses. SOS has tools, training, tracts and tactics to help anyone become a witness for Christ. All it takes is an email: info@sosevents.org or a phone call 813-784-8242 if you need help to become a soul winner.


For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.  Luke 19:10

D. L. Moody Quote

March 21, 2015

“You may find hundreds of faultfinders among professed Christians; but all their criticism will not lead one solitary soul to Christ.” D.L. Moody

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  Galatians 5:22-23

Testimony of Faithful SOS Events Team Leader

March 19, 2015

Patty

“The month of March is such a God thing for me – physical birth 3/17/72; spiritual birth 3/1978; spiritual rededication and rebaptism 3/2012; giving me the desires of my heart in 3/2014 when I trained to become a missionary for SOS Events AND received the most amazingly flexible and mission friendly job in the world! I am blessed beyond belief with the relationships God has placed in my life – my sweet husband and children and encouraging extended physical and spiritual family. My journey on this earth is a testament to the grace and faithfulness of God – and my prayer is that He would choose to continue to use such a dirty and broken vessel like me to keep sharing about Him, His Son and His Holy Spirit. May God bless you, your family and your ministry until Jesus comes back – which I pray is quick!” Patty Mills

Mark 16:15 Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

After Church?

Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Consider the Ant

January 10, 2015

The ant is a remarkable creature–
The most laborious insects in existence. The most highly industrialized. They collect food in proper seasons. Fondly attached to their young. They have keen foresight for others. They work quietly without show. They work tirelessly until the work is done. They work together in astonishing systems of organization to the best good of the whole community. They are ingenious carpenters and masons, building their own system of homes and underground tunnels. They keep their homes scrupulously clean. Each has a specific job to help meet the needs of the community. They fight to death to protect their own homes and young from enemies. Their social life compares with that of human beings in many respects. They are intelligent and wise. They carry out life’s work without being forced to do so by a guide, overseer, or ruler.
In our lives we have people like the ant and we also have people like sluggards. That is true especially in ministry. SOS Events are blessed to have many people who are like the ant. Willing to do whatever it takes to see souls saved.
There are a few who say they want to work but when asked to do something they always find an excuse.
In the work of the Lord, which one are you?

Proverbs 6:6-7
Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest.

SAD

January 7, 2015

Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is the medical term for lack of natural sunlight. In the Northern hemisphere we are now in the winter season, the time of year that SAD becomes a problem.
Most parts of the world have three low-sunlight seasons. Some people have proved more susceptible to Seasonal Affective Disorder. Those with higher risk factors include women, those who live farthest from the equator (Eskimos, for example) and those whose family histories include members who have suffered from seasonal affective issues. This causes physical,
mental disorders and depression, and should be taken seriously. It could reach feelings of isolation, coupled with severe hopelessness and, perhaps, suicidal thoughts. Doctors suggest artificial light, extra vitamin D and even medication for depression.
SAD is a good acronym for this disorder. There is additional “treatment” that should help in any situation. The Christian already has the answer and the unbeliever needs to know. Jesus said that He is the light of the world. If you are a Christian then look to Him for spiritual light. If you do not know Him as your Savior, ask Him to come into your heart and life today. He will help you get through times of sadness.

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Christian Music

January 3, 2015

Music is very important to the Christian believer. Today Christian music takes on many forms. Hymns, traditional, contemporary, rock, pop, country and several others.
Much of it has taken on the beat of the secular world. This is where the Christian needs to be wise in what kind of music they hear.
God loves to be worshiped in song. David, a man after God’s heart was a song writer, singer and played an instrument. Music was the only thing that calmed King Saul when he was agitated.
Does the music honor God? Is it praise to Him or just something that makes the listener feel good. Is it music that would tempt the listener into going back into their old lifestyle or is it something that lifts the soul and the spirit?
Like everything in the Christian life we make choices. Pray about the kind of music you regularly listen to.

Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

New Years Eve

December 31, 2014

2014 is almost over. Today is New Years Eve. Many people will be out partying. There will be accidents, fights and confusion for some who think they are having a good time, only to wake up in the morning with a headache and regrets.
There are some people who are good moral folks, who truly want to turn over a new leaf, as the expression goes, but will find that they will fall back into their same old life in just a few days or weeks.
Then there is the Christian, who knows that a new life can only begin with asking JESUS to forgive their sin, come into their heart and make their life new. CHRISTIANS look forward to 2015 with a different outlook. They know that whatever happens in the New Year, they have a friend, companion and Holy Spirit in them that helps them walk in newness of life.
If you are in the first or second group but would like a true new beginning, ask Jesus to save you today.
Our prayer for all is that you will have a safe and Happy New Years Eve and that 2015 will be blessed.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Gift to Jesus

December 27, 2014

Did you remember to give JESUS the gift He wanted for Christmas? Many years ago, a little boy only two or three years old was in a Christmas program at a small church.
I have never forgotten the words this small child spoke on that day.
“I’m not very big
Nor very tall you see
but to the dear Lord Jesus
I give all of me.”
That small child is now a man an has given his life to the Lord working with children and influencing multitudes of lives to give their all to Jesus also.
Have you given all of you to Jesus?

Mark 10:21
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest:go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Almost Persuaded

September 26, 2014

Almost persuaded now to believe;
Almost persuaded Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say,
Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On Thee I’ll call.

Almost persuaded, come, come today;
Almost persuaded, turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, come!

Almost persuaded, harvest is past!
Almost persuaded, doom comes at last!
Almost cannot avail;
Almost is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail
Almost, but lost!

More than 2,000 years ago King Agrippa told the Apostle Paul “Almost, you persuade me to be a Christian.” (Acts 26:28). Reverend Brundage expounded upon this sad story in Acts, and then ended his Sunday Morning sermon with the words “He who is almost persuaded is almost saved, and to be almost saved is to be entirely lost”.
Philip Bliss, composer of many hymns, was among the congregation listening to Reverend Brundage’s sermon. The pastor’s words left such an impression upon Bliss that he set about composing a song with the same sentiment.
Almost Persuaded was published that same year.

If you are almost persuaded but not sure email or call Tom.
