Someone Important

October 17, 2014

A prominent Christian and friend of SOS Events went to visit a church and the Pastor introduced him and his wife. A woman sitting next to the wife turned and said, “If I knew you were someone important I would have talked to you.”
This is sad but true. Christian are you friendly to others when they are in your midst? The Bible tells us to be no respecter of persons.

Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

God worked mightily at the fair with 110 salvations and 105 assurances and within the hearts of our workers, setting several them on fire for winning souls to Christ – Praise the Lord!!

Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

“To leave this matter of saving souls to preachers is not only heartless; it is inexcusably wicked.”
John R. Rice

John R. Rice was a great preacher, teacher, author, song writer, evangelist and most of all a soul winner. He has been in Heaven since 1980 but his work for the Lord continues to this day. One of his favorite Bible verses:

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.

Never Alone

October 12, 2014

Sometimes in life we feel like we go one step forward and two steps back. God never promised the Christian an easy life but He did promise to go with us through every trial. When we accept Jesus as our Savior we receive the Holy Spirit who is our Comforter. Be encouraged, we are never alone or forsaken.

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

This is a photo of Randy with one of the two young Hispanic men who were saved yesterday, Wednesday, at the Plant City, Florida Farmers Market.
The joy on both faces is a wonderful thing to see. It is a joy to win someone to the Lord, and the one who receives Salvation is also joyful.
This young man said, “I am now 100% sure I am on the way to heaven because I took Jesus as my Savior.”

1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Everything to Jesus

October 5, 2014

“I gave everything to Jesus.”
Testimony of a 12 year old girl that was saved at the Flea Market yesterday.
Many times the insight of children surpasses those of adults when they first make a decision to follow Christ. The Lord wants us to give everything to Him.

Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Need Strength?

October 4, 2014

If you are overwhelmed and today your strength is small, remember that Jesus is waiting to help you.

2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Faith

October 2, 2014

“I prayed for Faith, and thought that some day Faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But Faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, ‘Now Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God’. I had closed my Bible, and prayed for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since. ”
D. L. Moody

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
