3 Birthdays

January 27, 2016

January 27th is a date marked on the calendar as special because in the family there are 3 birthdays. There are Birthday wishes, cards, presents as these 3 are celebrating their physical birth, but there is a more important birthday to celebrate in all of their lives. That is their second birthday. That birthday is a Spiritual Birth the day they accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Happy Birthday Barry, Jeannie, John and all others who may have a birthday today.

The question is do you have two birthdays? Have you been born again? If you would like to know how go to the home page and click on the 3 Things God Can Not Do, then continue down to the ABC’s of salvation and pray. You have to repent of your sins, believe in your heart and ask Jesus to make your life new. Then please go to the decision card page and let us know of your new birth so we can celebrate with you and pray for you.

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.

One Child

January 17, 2016

“It is wonderful when God saves a drunkard which He sometimes does, but it is more wonderful still when God saves little children before they become drunkards, libertines, and degenerates.”  Bob Jones, Sr.

Yesterday, two of our SOS Events  workers went to the Plant  City Car Show to witness and win souls. We had great expectations for a good harvest at this event. We expected a large crowd because the weather was beautiful and it is a holiday weekend. We were disappointed however, because the crowds were sparse and there were only three other vendors at this event.

Only one salvation. Should we be disappointed? No! This one salvation was a young boy, eight years old, who made a decision to follow Jesus. God is the One who brings the increase and He knows what this one little boy will become. 

Great preachers, Billy Graham, Billy Sunday, Adrian Rogers, Bob Jones Sr., Charles Stanley, Jerry Falwell and many other preachers too numerous to name were once little eight-year-old boys. We rejoice that this one boy was saved yesterday and continue to pray with us that he will grow in Christ.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Salvation

November 23, 2015

Everyone who is saved has a different testimony. Some were saved as a small child through the influence  of parents, grandparents or a godly Sunday  School teacher or bus worker. They really do not know what it is like to be in the world as sinners and have the most time to serve the Lord.

Others lived a life of sin and came to know Jesus after they came to the end of their rope and felt hopeless and had no place to turn. Maybe a Christian handed them a Bible tract and witnessed to them, or they went into a mission for food and a warm bed, and still others met an SOS Events worker at an event. These people are so thankful to be out of a life of sin and many want to tell others of their wonderful Savior.

There is a group of people who lived a good life, went to church, tithed, were moral, and did not commit any terrible sin. This group is the hardest to reach for Christ because they think they are good enough to to get to Heaven, but they realized they needed to be saved.

Every category of Christian falls into one of these groups, all are sinners in need of a Savior. If you are saved you can be thankful for your salvation. This is the greatest blessing in your life no matter if you are rich or poor, male or female, young or old. Today join with us in thanking God for your salvation.

Ephesians 12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 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, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Changed Lives

October 27, 2015

Corey, age 25, wrote on the back of his decision card, “I feel wonderful to have Jesus in my heart.”

This is just one of the comments from the 60 plus souls that made a decision at the Talladega Races in Alabama. What a joy to be a part of SOS Events Ministry and see people’s lives changed and become new.

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.

Salvations at Talladega

Praise the Lord, 15 souls saved yesterday at Talladega races.

Romans 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

How Shall They Hear?

September 24, 2015

  
People from many walks of life get saved at various events. In this picture two SOS Events soulwinners (in the green aprons) with two firefighters who made decisions for Christ at the Country Fair in Pennsylvania.

The Holy Spirit draws them to us. Talking with one of our “new” trainers yesterday, she commented on how great it is to have people come to you. There is no more wonderful experience than to led someone to the Lord.

At events many laborers, children, college students, nurses, elderly, rich and poor have been saved. There are people in your area who need to hear. There is always room for more workers and events, if you would like to join with SOS Events to receive some of the blessings. Contact SOS at info@sosevents.org  or phone 813-494-7927 for more information.

Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Trust

August 12, 2015

While sitting in an airport waiting to board a plane, the thoughts go to trust. We trust that the plane will get us to our destination safely.

SOS Events “3  Things God Can Not Do” tract gives a choice of which plane we would get on. Three planes, one is 50%, one is 75% or the third is 100% sure we will get to our destination, which would you choose?

Going to heaven is a choice, also. If you are not 100% sure you are going to Heaven go to the home page scroll down and follow the directions. 

It is a matter of trust. Trusting the Lord Jesus to save you is the answer. 

Psalms 37:40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Billy Graham Quote on Heaven

July 11, 2015

“I [will] not go to heaven because I am a preacher. I am going to heaven entirely on the merit of the work of Christ.”Billy Graham
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

JESUS is the Answer

June 27, 2015

It is hard to stay positive with all the news that is swirling around us. Killing all over the world, wars, rumors of wars, crazy weather patterns, decisions from courts that are not biblical, good is called evil and evil is called good. 

The Bible tells us that this will happen and we are seeing it now. The solution for the individual: turn to the only true answer for peace of mind and heart JESUS. JESUS is the answer. 

If you do not have Him as your personal Savior go to the home page and scroll down to the “3 Things God Can Not Do” follow all the instructions through the ABC’s and go to the prayer, sincerely ask forgiveness and repent of all your sins. Jesus will become your Savior and walk with you from that moment on.

If you do that we request that you then fill out the decision card and SOS Events will sent you free Bible studies so you can begin your new life with Christ.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved

Life is a Vapour

June 12, 2015

The Bible says, “Life is a vapour”. James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

This week we learned of a friend and family member who died of a heart attack while stopped at a traffic light. He was a man in his early 50’s who thankfully had made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ several years ago and followed Him in baptism in a local church.

Most people think that they have plenty of time to accept Christ and the devil has them fooled into thinking that they can put it off until tomorrow. For them tomorrow may never come.

I am sure when Walt left his house in the morning he never expected to be gone in a few minutes later.

If you are thinking you have plenty of time to make a decision to accept JESUS as your Savior, please stop now and reconsider. You may not have another chance.

It is simple and JESUS is waiting to hear you confess your sin, repent and ask His forgiveness. He loves you, paid for you sins by dying on the cross and is waiting to hear your prayer.

You can pray something like this if you don’t know what to say,

Lord Jesus, I admit I have sinned, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins, I ask that you forgive me and come into my heart and life and change me and make my life new. I invite you to be my Savior and I will follow you for the rest of my life. In JESUS name. Amen.
