Billboard sign, “If stress burned calories, I’d be a super model”.
If you are stressed with the cares of life there is a cure. JESUS is the answer.
1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

April 11, 2015One Day
April 1, 2015
This hymn could be an Christmas Carol, a song for His Crucifixion, an Easter hymn or a joyful phrase for JESUS coming again. It is a personal favorite because the whole story of Jesus from birth to His coming again! Just read the words penned so long ago by j. Wilbur Chapman.
One day when Heaven was filled with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
Dwelt among men, my example is He!
Refrain
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
One day He’s coming—O glorious day!
One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!
Refrain
One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!
Refrain
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!
Refrain
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glories will shine;
Wonderful day, my belovèd ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!
Refrain
Hebrews 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Marie, the Shy Soul Winner
March 14, 2015Marie is a mature lady, probably in her early 60’s. She has been a Christian for many years and has served the Lord faithfully. Church secretary, Sunday School teacher (for very young children), and a blessing to her friends and family, but had never won a person to the Lord.
The one thing that kept her from being a witness for Christ is that she Is painfully shy.
Staff from SOS Events came to her church to teach soul winning and to witness at a county fair.
The Pastor asked for volunteers to go to the training and sign up for a shift at the fair.
Marie wanted to do as the Pastor asked but she could never talk to strangers, she thought.
She did follow though, however, and her turn came to work in the booth at the fair.
The SOS trainer sat beside her and 2 young girls were brought to the table.
Marie would say, “what do I say now?” And the trainer would guide her through each step to led those girls to JESUS.
Both girls prayed and invited JESUS to be their Savior.
Marie was so excited. She needed a little more instruction but before her shift was over she had led several more people to Christ.
On the following Sunday, the Pastor asked for testimonies from the people who had worked at the fair. He said, “I will not ask Marie because I know she is to shy to come up and speak before the congregation.”
Marie spoke up, came up and gave a glowing testimony of how she was changed from being to shy to witness into a bold soul winner for Christ.
Soul winning not only changes the new converts life, it changes the person who is witnessing life.
Many Christians like Marie are to shy or afraid to witness for Christ. If you are one of them, SOS Events ministry can help through training, prayer and the Holy Sprit’s power. You too can become a bold witness for Christ.
Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Friday the 13th
March 13, 2015Friday the 13th is feared by some people as an unlucky day. It is an old superstition dating back to the Middle Ages when people believed Friday’s to be unlucky and also 13 as an unlucky number. Put together and they believed it would be a disaster.
CHRISTIANS should not believe in superstitions. Black cats, walking under a ladder, break a mirror causes 7 years bad luck and there are many more both bad and good luck superstions. We call these superstitions “old wives tales” or fables. They are not true and the Bible speaks against believing in such things.
1 Timothy 4:6-7
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives ‘fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
What You Need to Know to Get to Heaven
March 7, 2015“We should remember that people can go to Heaven without knowing much of the Word of God, but they cannot go to Heaven without knowing Jesus Christ as Savior.”
Lee Roberson
SOS Events ministry uses few verses to led a person to JESUS Christ and those people walk away from the SOS booth SAVED. Only 6 verses in the Bible can change a person’s life for all eternity.
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.
This is the Day
February 22, 20151. This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice, we will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.
2. This is the day, this is the day
when he rose again, when he rose again;
we will rejoice, we will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day when he rose again;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day when he rose again.
3. This is the day, this is the day
when the Spirit came, when the Spirit came;
we will rejoice, we will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day when the Spirit came;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day when the Spirit came.
When researching hymns it is amazing how many different stanzas that there are. “This is the Day” is one of those hymns. These verses are especially meaningful as they honor the JESUS resurrection as well as the Holy Spirit even though He is nor mentioned by name. Sometime we are familiar with only one verse of a song and do not even realize there are more that are just as uplifting.
Psalms 118:24
This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
How to Love the Unlovable
February 13, 2015Do you have a neighbor or a family member that is not very lovable? Sometimes certain people are hard to love. Love is a choice. One thing that helps us to love the unlovable is prayer and forgiveness. Pray for that person, not just once but daily. Not that the Lord will bring something bad on them but that God will give YOU the love of Christ for that person. It works. It is hard to harbor ill feelings toward a person you are praying for.
Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
True Friend
February 12, 2015A true friend loves you in good and bad times. He/she overlooks your faults and forgives. A friend will share your joy and and cry with you in sorrow. Would keep confidences and never reveal to others the secrets you have shared. A true friend is precious and to be treasured.
You are truly blessed if you have one or more true friends. Why not do something special for your friend today?
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loveth at all times,
True Love
