September 27, 2014Many things are taking place this weekend. In Alabama a large training for people to work in the SOS booth at the Telledega Race in October. Training in Florida for a couple who wants to join the SOS team. As always, there are events at Flea Markets.

Almost Persuaded
September 26, 2014Almost persuaded now to believe;
Almost persuaded Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say,
Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On Thee I’ll call.
Almost persuaded, come, come today;
Almost persuaded, turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, come!
Almost persuaded, harvest is past!
Almost persuaded, doom comes at last!
Almost cannot avail;
Almost is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail
Almost, but lost!
More than 2,000 years ago King Agrippa told the Apostle Paul “Almost, you persuade me to be a Christian.” (Acts 26:28). Reverend Brundage expounded upon this sad story in Acts, and then ended his Sunday Morning sermon with the words “He who is almost persuaded is almost saved, and to be almost saved is to be entirely lost”.
Philip Bliss, composer of many hymns, was among the congregation listening to Reverend Brundage’s sermon. The pastor’s words left such an impression upon Bliss that he set about composing a song with the same sentiment.
Almost Persuaded was published that same year.
If you are almost persuaded but not sure email or call Tom.

Billy Sunday Quote
September 22, 2014“Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to
Christ.” ~ Billy Sunday
Billy Sunday was a National League baseball player in the late 1880’s. After his conversion to Christianity he left baseball and became an evangelist.
He was known for his dynamic preaching in most of Americas largest cities in the beginning of the 20th century to large crowds before electric sound systems were used.
He was a great supporter of Prohibition and his preaching helped pass the 18th Ammendment in 1919.
No scandal ever touched him. Sunday continued to preach and remained a stalwart defender of conservative Christianity until his death in 1935.
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Tom Curtis Testimony
September 20, 2014In Joshua 1:8 the Bible talks about success. My desire in life was to be very successful.
I thought I had reached my goal, I had a good family, a great business, and all the material things I had ever dreamed of.
I had planned to take 20 of my business associates to Put in Bay for the day on my motor yacht. When we got as far as the harbor light I got a radio call from the Coast Guard. They gave me instructions to go to a land line phone and call my home.
When I called home and was told something terrible happened.
My son Nick, 12 years old had been playing at home when gas spilled on him, and someone threw a match at him. He was burned over 80% of his body and the doctors told me his chance of survival was zero.
Champion Spark plug company offered to fly him to the Boston Shrine Hospital. After 3 months, I was told when I came in to go right up as he would not be with us much longer.
I held his hand and he asked me this question, “Dad, do you know Jesus Christ personally?” My answer was, “Nick, no one could possibly know Jesus personally, because he is dead.”
Nick said, “Dad, I know him.” and died.
I was broken and 9 years went by, until a new Christian came into my office and invited me to church on Wednesday night.
The Pastor preached a sermon that I thought was all about me. When he gave the invitation, I begged God to save me.
My life was changed immediately and promised God I would serve Him the rest of my life and tell everyone I could about a relationship with Jesus.
After I was saved I took every opportunity to learn more about God and lead others into a right relationship with Jesus.
I moved around the country and ended up in Atlanta, where I suffered 5 heart attacks and was told I had 3 years to live. I was in the hospital for 3 months, lost my business, my wife and all material possessions. I spent the next 3 years studying God’s word to prepare for ministry.
God raised me up and empowered me. I met Carolyn, we were married in 2001 and God led us to start SOS Events ministry. Our goal is to teach and train Christians to be soul winners and to see as many souls saved in America as possible through our ministry.
God has provided the abundant life for us as promised in His Word. We have seen hundreds of people who have become soul winners and thousands of people saved.

Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Wit from Adrian Rogers

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.

Patriotic Poem
September 16, 2014
This poem was written by a 7th grade student at Hendersonville Christian Academy in Tennesee. Praise The Lord for the many Christian schools that teach love of God and Country.
The future of America and countries around the world is the young people. We must train them in Christian principles from the time they are born.
You can be an influence on your child, grandchild, niece or nephew today. If you do not have close contact with them then pray for them. God is with them all the time.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

It Is Well With My Soul
September 12, 2014Horatio Spafford (1828-1888) was a wealthy Chicago lawyer with a thriving legal practice, a beautiful home, a wife, four daughters and a son. He was also a devout Christian.
At the very height of his financial and professional success, Horatio and his wife Anna suffered the tragic loss of their young son. Shortly thereafter on October 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed almost every real estate investment that Spafford had.
Spafford scheduled a boat trip to Europe in order to give his wife and daughters a much needed vacation and time to recover from the tragedy. He remained in Chicago to take care of some unexpected last minute business. Several days later he received notice that his family’s ship had encountered a collision. All four of his daughters drowned; only his wife had survived.
With a heavy heart, Spafford boarded a boat that would take him to his grieving Anna in England. It was on this trip that he penned those now famous words, When sorrow like sea billows roll; it is well, it is well with my soul..
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
