Grandchildren

March 28, 2016

Grandchildren are a wonderful blessing from the Lord. Yesterday there were many family pictures posted on Facebook and other media of our family dressed for Easter. The children looked happy and excited. The little girls looked beautiful and the boys handsome. What a blessing that they could enjoy the freedom to worship at church, eat candy from their Easter baskets and enjoy time with their families doing fun things together.

Our world is changing and the future for the young ones is uncertain, but the one thing that is certain and unchanging is that each of the grandchildren will be with us in heaven if they trust Jesus as their Savior. (Thankfully most of them have already done that)

Proverbs 17:6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

  

He Has Risen

 Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Easter Celebrations 

March 26, 2016

Today many children will be looking forward to tomorrow when they will celebrate Easter with egg hunts, baskets filled with candy, the Easter bunny and maybe a day that  they will be with family and friends. Something is missing.

The most important reason why all these things are in their lives: the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The focus should be on Him. Make sure that the true meaning does not get lost in all the preparations and plans.

My favorite memory of Easter is my grandmother taking me to a sunrise service outside looking over a beautiful view from on top of a hill. Then we would go to breakfast and on to church where the hymns about Jesus would be sung and the resurrection story would be told.

We serve a risen Savior, let us make sure He is first in our celebration on Easter Sunday.

Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

John Adams Quote

March 25, 2016

 “Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean Hell.”

JOHN ADAMS, letter to Thomas Jefferson, Apr. 19, 1817

Quote by John Adams 2nd President of the United States of America. He may not have been a born again Christian but he did honor God as did most of the founding Fathers. He believed in freedom “of” religion not freedom “from” religion. We need to get back to honoring God in our country once again.

1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Serving Our Savior

March 24, 2016

The Flea Market in Plant City, Fl on Wednesdays continues to have souls come to the Lord. Last week  16 people trusted Jesus as their Savior and yesterday 2 more came to Christ. What a wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord weekly.     

Psalms 100:2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.        

 

Amazing Staff

March 23, 2016

The office staff of SOS events is amazing. They all go above and beyond what is expected or asked of them. 

Diana, office manager, teacher, trainer and friend does so many things that an ordinary employee would not do. She keeps everything running smoothly. Does all the banking and along with Carolyn takes care of donations and finances.

Alice, who does most of the scheduling of events, makes phone calls to coordinate workers, trains, and regularly wins souls at a weekly flea market. 

Beka, has worked in the office part time since seventh grade, now is about to graduate from high school. She loves the ministry and is a soul winner. She is willing to do whatever necessary to help. She also does computer work and knows how the ministry functions.

Hailey is also a senior in high school who started working this year with SOS Events. She does all the things that are so important to keep supplies for events. She does filing, makes decision cards, packages tracts, sends reminders and cards to workers and various little things that are to numerous to mention.

Julianna, also a senior in high school and our newest office worker. She does computer work and her responsibilities include recording decisions and making sure the new converts get Bible studies.

There are also several volunteers who will come when extra work is needed in the office.

This staff is dedicated to the Lord, SOS Events ministry and also are a great help to the founders, Tom and Carolyn. We are so thankful to have this staff working daily in the office. 

Tom and Carolyn just want to publicly thank them and want them to know how much they are appreciated.

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus

Many young people have not heard some of the old hymns. This is a reminder to those of us who remember and introduction to the great hymns of the past to those of you who may not know them.

1. What can wash away my sin? 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

What can make me whole again? 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

Refrain:

O precious is the flow 

that makes me white as snow; 

no other fount I know; 

nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2. For my pardon this I see: 

nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

For my cleansing this my plea: 

nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

(Refrain)
3. Nothing can for sin atone: 

nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

Naught of good that I have done: 

nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

(Refrain)
4. This is all my hope and peace: 

nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

This is all my righteousness: 

nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Crown of Thorns

March 21, 2016

Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!  

Joni Erickson

March 20, 2016

Joni Erickson Tada had a terrible accident that left her a quadriplegic. In spite of her physical limitations she became an accomplished author and artist. Over 25 years ago she married her husband, Ken. For her wedding she had planned to come down the center aisle in her motorized wheel chair. Just before her grand entrance she noticed two distressing problems. First, she had rolled over her beautiful gown and made a big grease spot and tear in it. Then, the flowers in her lap had slipped and had lodged between her leg and the chair. She was filled with disappointment, and then suddenly the doors to the auditorium opened, and she saw her husband to be.
Here was the man who was committing his love and his life to her. Joni later said, “Once I saw Ken’s face, all I could think of was him. Everything else—the people in the church, the flowers that were sitting a little askew on my lap, the fact that my dress didn’t fall right because I was sitting in a wheelchair, the grease marks, the rip in my gown all of it paled in comparison.”
When we we see Christ, He will be all that matters to us.

Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

George Washington Quote

March 18, 2016

God has blessed America with some great Presidents. Our country has been governed by men who may or may not have been born again Christians but they honored God and the principles set down in the Bible. Some of their quotes will be posted on the blog in the coming weeks.

George Washington the first USA President honored God in his writings, speeches and at public as well as private events. He was a great statesman and leader and brought the Country through the transition from a colony to an independent nation.

  

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
