Praise the Lord

January 5, 2016

Today is a special day for Tom and Carolyn Curtis. It is our 15th Wedding Anniversary. You may not think that is so great but it is really a miracle. Both of us were traveling alone after the loss of our spouses, working for the Lord in different ministries when we met. Tom went to Iowa and I traveled the East coast for a year after we met. Then we worked in a ministry together in Florida for a short time. I had been praying for Tom and about the relationship for the whole year. (Tom had no clue.)

When we married Tom had many health problems and had been told by doctors that he had only 3 years to live. That was back in 1995. He was reluctant to marry in 2001 but God directed him and we have been blessed with a wonderful marriage.

God then led us to begin SOS Events Ministry and in 15 years hundreds of Christians have been trained to serve the Lord, over 60,000 souls have made decisions for Christ and at least 2 other ministries have been started with the training of SOS.

God took two ordinary people and for 15 years has blessed us with a good marriage and a great ministry. So today we Praise the Lord for the blessings He has given and I still believe in miracles.

Psalms 9:1 ​ I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2 Birthdays 

January 4, 2016

 
Newborn babies are so precious and everyone celebrates. Then every year on their birthday we send birthday wishes, buy presents, maybe have a birthday party.  That baby has no choice in their birth. 
There is a birthday that we do have a choice. It is the second birth. Everyone needs the second birth to go to Heaven. Jesus told Nicodemus, “You must be born again.” 

Do you have 2 birthdays? If you do not, go to the home page and follow the instructions starting with the “3 Things God Can Not Do”.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

True Worship

January 3, 2016

“Worship in the truest sense takes place only when our full attention is on GOD – on His glory, power, majesty, love and compassion.” – Billy Graham
Are you a true worshiper of God? Our minds tend to wander when we are listening to a sermon, praying or reading scripture. We must give God our full attention when we are coming to Him in worship. Focus on God today and think of what He has done and more importantly who He is.
Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

The Answer is in The Book

January 2, 2016

Every Christian needs to get alone with God everyday. Fifteen minutes a day can take you through the Bible in a year. It is not to late to start if you begin today. This is leap year, February has 29 days that will catch you up if you did not start on January first. (There are several yearly Bible reading plans on the web)

Some people read a Proverb a day, which is a wonderful place to seek wisdom. The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the books to read to know Jesus better and learn more of His sacrifice for you. Interested in prophecy? Daniel and Revelation are the books for you. Whatever you need the answer is in the Book, the Bible.

Let God speak to you through His Word and then you will be able to speak to Him through prayer. 

Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2016

  

Happy New Year from the staff at SOS Events. May God grant you a blessed year. If you walk with Jesus  every day you will be blessed no matter what your circumstances.

I Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

New Years Eve

December 31, 2015

Many people will be celebrating New Years Eve tonight. Some will party, get drunk, and some will even die thinking they are having a good time.

Christians celebrate in different ways. One family has a bonfire every year, burns their Christmas tree and invites friends for food and fellowship.

I think celebrating at the church is not done much anymore, but some fondest memories are when people used to go to church, sing, eat, and pray at midnight for a safe, happy and prosperous new year.

However you choose to spend this evening, a good idea would be to stop and pray. Start your new year in the best way possible with joy. Jesus first, Others second and You last. That will bring you a truly happy New Year.

John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Cheerful Giver

December 30, 2015

December 30, 2015. The year is almost over. This year has been a great year for SOS Events Ministry. God has blessed with almost 3000 souls coming to Christ. New Leaders have been trained and are serving the Lord with SOS Events. The ministry is expanding into new areas.

SOS Events is a faith based ministry that is supported by churches and individuals. Only our office staff are paid, all other workers are volunteers. 

There are some people who are looking for a tax deduction at the end of the year and SOS Events ministry is a great investment for your treasure in Heaven. All gifts are tax deductible. 

God loves a cheerful giver and if you would like to contribute click on donate on the right. Every gift is appreciated and is used for the salvation of souls.

The ministry could not function without money but the greatest gift you can give is to pray for SOS Events. Pray for more salvations, growth for the newly saved, strength, wisdom and good health for the workers. Most of all power of the Holy Spirit to continue the ministry the Lord has given.

2 Corinthians 9:7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Prophecy Fulfilled 

December 29, 2015

Prophesy fulfilled. After the wise men’s visit, Joseph was warned in a dream to take Jesus and Mary and flee to Egypt. Herod was seeking to kill Jesus and not getting a report back from the wise men he had all the young children in Bethlehem killed. But Jesus was safe and the little family stayed in Egypt until Herod was dead.

Then once again Joseph had a dream and returned but went to live in Nazareth where Jesus grew from childhood until He started His earthly ministry.

God’s Word is true. Every prophesy concerning Jesus birth was fulfilled down to the last detail. Many people leave Jesus in the manger as a baby but do not believe future events also predicted in the Bible. Jesus is the Messiah, He did die on the cross and He is coming again to rule and reign over all the world. Are you ready for a great future with Jesus the coming King?

Matthew 2:13-15 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

The Wise Men

December 28, 2015

The account of the wise men who came to worship Jesus is found in Matthew 2:1-12. Tradition says they were three kings who came from the east but the country they came from is not mentioned. They were thought to be 3  because of the number of gifts and kings because of the value of the gold, frankincense and myrrh.

They followed a star which appeared in the heavens until they came to Jerusalem and inquired of Herod where the King was born. Herod wanted to know more about this baby and asked the wise men to bring news of His whereabouts when they found Him. They continued to follow the star, presented their gifts and worshiped Jesus. Then being warned in a dream went a different way back to their country and did not report to Herod.

There is a saying,”Wise men still seek Him”. Are you seeking Jesus? What He wants is our desire to follow Him as the wise men followed the star and to worship Him and give the gift of ourselves to Him. Are you wise?

Matthew 2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him

Anna the Prophetess

December 27, 2015

Anna, a prophet, was also there in the Temple. She was the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, and was very old. She was a widow, for her husband had died when they had been married only seven years. 
Probably, after her husbands death, Anna would have been encouraged to get married again and have children. Anna,  chose to stay single. She chose to serve the Lord. She chose to fast and pray, worshiping the Lord day and night. She told people the news of the Savior that was coming, no matter how long it might be before he came. She knew her purpose and she didn’t let anyone’s opinions or comments keep her from it. Then Anna saw Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in the temple and knew her purpose had been fulfilled.

Luke 2:36-38 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
