Jesus Made It Simple

April 22, 2014

“Jesus made everything so simple and we have made it so complicated. He spoke to the people in short sentences and everyday words, illustrating His messages with never-to-be forgotten stories.”
Billy Graham
SOS Events method of winning people to The Lord follow the simple way that Jesus used to bring people to salvation.
The “3 Things God Can Not Do” is simple, short and easy to understand by people of all ages. Also, we go where the crowds gather, fairs, flea markets, yard sales, wherever there are people. It works. In 13 years over 40,000 decisions have been recorded.
There is always room for more soul winners. You can learn this simple way and SOS can supply everything you need to get started.

Forty Days

April 21, 2014

Jesus walked the earth for forty days and was seen by many to prove to them that He was alive and everything that He had told them is true. Then He ascended into Heaven. This is not the end of the story, Jesus is coming again!! It may be today.
Time is short and we must be about the Lord’s business of witnessing and winning souls to Him.

Acts 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Brighten the Corner Where You Are

March 28, 2014

If you have never heard the song, ” Brighten the Corner Where You Are,” try to find someone who can sing it to you. It has a catchy tune and is a happy song with a good message.
Most of the songs and hymns written years ago came from problems or tragedy. Ina Duley Ogden was invited to speak at a great Sunday School Convention, but instead was called home to take care of her father who had been injured in an accident.
In her disappointment she decided to be a blessing to just the people around her, especially her father and wrote the words to the song.
“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,/ Do not wait to shed your light afar,/ To the many duties ever near you now be true,/ Brighten the corner where you are.”
Her song became so popular that it opened all of Billy Sundays revivals for over 22 years and tragedy blessed not hundreds of people but thousands.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God Answers Prayer Specifically

March 27, 2014

Be careful what you pray for. God has a sense of humor, I believe. We at SOS have been praying for about a year, “Lord, send us another Randy.”
Randy Mlinek and his team does a wonderful job at flea markets in Florida winning souls to Christ, that we wanted another person to have the same passion and burden for souls.
Yesterday, in the blog we told how God answered prayer. What we did not say is that the man God sent is Randy.
We are changing our prayer now to, “Lord, please send us more men and women who have the vision like Randy.”

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

God Answers Prayer

March 26, 2014

God answers prayer. SOS has been praying for more full time missionaries to come with the ministry. Last night a Pastor called and said he is coming with SOS full time.
This Pastor was at the first church we went to in Florida when the ministry was in its infancy. He has seen what God has done over the years and is ready now to join with us as we attempt to reach the USA and beyond for Christ.

Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

This Is My Father’s World

March 12, 2014

This morning while looking for something to share with those of you who follow the blog, I came across something that took me back to my childhood.
Looking in the history of hymns, there is one I remember singing in church as a child, “This Is My Father’s World”.
I was born and grew up in Lockport, NY and discovered that Maltbie Babcock, author of the hymn, was the Pastor of the Presbyterian church in Lockport when he wrote the hymn back in the 1890’s.
This is a beautiful old hymn that I have not heard since I was a child.

“This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget,
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world, The battle is not done,
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and Heaven be one.”

Psalms 50:b
For the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
