Salvation, Then Change

June 22, 2014

“Practically every false doctrine comes from getting things out of order. God’s divine order is salvation, then change; not change and then salvation! If one has to be changed to be saved, that’s salvation by works. It is also salvation by the flesh. The truth is, one is cleansed from the sins of the flesh just as he is saved; by yielding to the Holy Spirit and letting Him do His work.” ~Jack Hyles
When witnessing we often hear excuses why a person can not be saved now. A common excuse is “I need to quit _____________ before I can be saved.
(You fill in the blank)
Have you ever heard the expression, Putting the card before the horse?
The above quote is exactly right. A person is never good enough to be saved, that is why Jesus died to pay for our sins. When witnessing pray that the Holy Spirit will convict the person to understand that salvation is by accepting Christ, not by changing their lifestyle.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Each month Lakeland, FL barricades the streets from car traffic around Munn Park for a community event of food, music, community & civic organizations, churches, politicians, police, fire, utilities, transportation, etc. to gather for networking & general information sharing. This picture with Joyce Mlinek, was taken immediately after we set up the SOS Events booth @ 5:30PM. Seven souls were saved at this event on Friday evening.

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Do You Have 2 Birthdays?

June 1, 2014

In two weeks time our family has seven birthdays. The family celebrates in different ways. There are cards, gifts, special foods, parties and of course a birthday cake.
The children, teens and young adults are excited and looking forward to the future. The older ones look back on life and Thank The Lord that they have reached another year.
Our physical birthday is important to us and we celebrate, but more important is our second birthday. That is the day of our spiritual birth.
It is the day that determines our future in Heaven. The day we knew we were sinners and needed to be saved. The day when we asked Jesus to forgive our sins and become our Savior.
Thankfully, all seven of our family who had birthdays are saved and we will be reunited in Heaven someday.
Do you have 2 birthdays? If you are not sure please email and we will send you a tract explaining how you can be born again. Info@sosevents.org

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.

Jesus is Dead

April 19, 2014

Jesus is dead. All hope is gone. The disciples, Joseph of Aramethia, the many women who followed Him, prepared to go on with life without Him. The rulers still feared Him and ordered the grave to be guarded.
These people, human like we are, had various emotions the day Jesus died and the 3 days following. Lack of faith, we might think.
What would we have done? Probably the same thing. But wait! Morning is coming!
As we wait for tomorrow, let us meditate on Jesus and the great sacrifice He gave for us, so we can be saved.

Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Salvation Story

April 14, 2014

The mother, Holly 36 & sons, Alexander & Aaron were saved yesterday. The mother was saved @ 12:40 however her sons were not with her. Later the family reunited & the sons heard their mother’s testimony of what the Lord had just done for her. The sons said they wanted to hear this message too. So 30 minutes later the boys came back & Joyce led them to the Lord Jesus as well. The husband/father & oldest son are in prison. Let’s pray for their salvation.

Jesus is our friend if we have accepted His death, burial and resurrection as full payment for all our sins.
