Follow him more nearly

Love him more dearly

Five ways to grow closer to Jesus

Ruth 3:3

Be freshly cleansed

Be fragrantly consecrated

Be fitly clothed

Be fully committed

Be faithfully compliant

To be a successful soul winner you must be close to Jesus.

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Tool or Toy

July 6, 2015

“Are you a tool for God or a toy for Satan?”

This a quote from one of the Benham brothers on Dr. Charles Stanley’s TV program IN TOUCH. The Benham brothers have a powerful Christhian testimony. They stand against abortion and gay marriage and it cost them a great contract with HGTV. Their program was about flipping houses and helping families that could not afford to own a house have the ability to purchase a home.

HGTV cancelled the contract after pressure from the liberals. The brothers acted with a CHRISTIAN attitude and thanked HGTV for the opportunity and did not get angry or retaliate in any way.

Then they learned that the financial  institution which finances all their real estate business was going to pull all the loans and contracts ruining their successful real estate business. Once again the brothers reacted in a Godly way. They would not change their CHRISTIAN beliefs for fame or money. “It’s in God’s hands” was their remarks. 

After much pressure from the conservative Christians who do business with the bank that handles all the real estate deals, the bank changed and decided to continue financing the Benham brothers business.

Thank the Lord for young men who will stand up for what they believe. 

This story shows how far our country has come in taking away our rights as CHRISTIANS. If we value our freedom given to American citizens by the Constitution we must stand up for our rights. 

Enough people contacted that bank and the decision was reversed. We must stand and do what needs to be done in a Christlike manner and then allow God to bring the Victory.

Ephesians 6:7 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Happy 4th of July

July 4, 2015

God Bless America!! Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!

America has been blessed by the Lord since the founding of our great nation. However, our freedoms are being taken away as the focus has turned away from God. America as we have known it will have the blessing of God taken away if we do not get back to loving and honoring the one true Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today, stop for just a few minutes before the picnics, parties and fireworks and pray for our country that we may return to the only hope of peace and freedom by the true worship of the Lord.

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Forgiveness

June 25, 2015

“God sometimes uses things he hates to accomplish things he loves.”

This is a quote from one of the granddaughters of a man that was murdered in   Charleston, SC. What a testimony to the world of how a Christian should react to tragedy. 

The families of the 9 people who were shot by an evil young man have shown love and forgiveness to the one who killed their loved ones. They have followed the example of JESUS who when He was dying on the cross said, “Father, forgive them.”

Luke 23:34  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

Amazing Grace

June 16, 2015

One of the hymns that honor the Lord and His Saving power is “Amazing Grace”. SOS Events ministry teaches people how to witness and become soul winners. Materials are provided to help Chistians win people to Christ. We can be trained, know the scriptures, have everything just right but without God’s grace all that we do will not work. We must remember it is the Holy Spirit that does the saving. We are just His messengers who bring hope to  the unsaved.

2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

  

What Do You Think About?

June 15, 2015

Sometimes our minds get thinking about things that bring temptation and problems into our lives. The Bible tells us what to think about in Philippians. When our minds start to wander into places we should not go spiritually, think on these things.

This is a good verse to memorize.

  

Are You a Faithful Servant?

June 13, 2015

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

These words were spoken by JESUS to His disciples and are meaningful to us today. At SOS Events ministry there are many volunteers to do events. Most are faithful and if they commit to do an event they are there on time and do a great job. 

There are a few, unfortunately, who do not take their commitment seriously thus putting a burden on the other workers. Witnessing and winning souls to Christ is a serious responsibility. 

When God directs you to something for Him are you a faithful servant, or do you find an excuse like some of JESUS followers in Matthew 8:21?

Faithfulness is important to JESUS. When you stand before Him will He say, “Well,done thou good and faithful servant.”?
