Another Wednesday has passed and seven more people are on their way to Heaven because of the workers who give their time on Wednesday mornings to set up an SOS Events booth at the Plant City Fl Flea Market. What a tremendous blessing have souls saved every week. We know that it is God who gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Last night I accepted the call to be the senior pastor at Griffin Baptist Church, Lakeland. I’m currently in transition saying good-bye to Parkview after nearly 10 years (Which is not easy). Yet I am looking forward to exciting days ahead — God truly is amazing! Randy Thomas
Randy and Romona also do many events for SOS Events ministry. He is a great soul winner and God will bless him in his new church. He will continue to work with SOS Events along with his new responsibilities.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Fanny Crosby was blind from a small baby but never allowed her blindness to stop her from Serving Her Savior. She wrote the words to hundreds of hymns under her own name as well as pen names.
She was a teacher, author, wife and Godly, Christian. What a testimony to what one person can do who trusts fully in the Lord and allows the Holy Spirit to work through her.
Sometimes we have excuses why we cannot serve God. Illness, lack of money, job, family and many others. In the Bible a man used the excuse of having to bury his father. (Matthew 8:21) “What is your excuse? Decide to be effective for the Lord no matter what and get busy for Him.
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
When training a dog if you put a piece of meat on the floor and tell what dog “no”. The dog knows that no means he cannot touch it. So he will take his eyes off the meat and look at his master.
When faced with temptation we need to take our eyes off the temptation and keep our eyes on the Master.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Days are like suitcases…all the same size…but some people are able to pack more into them than others.
Are your days filled with empty hours or are you so busy you don’t have time to do the important things, like witnessing to that person you meet, praying or spending quality time with your family? We each have 24 hours in every day. Let us spend that time wisely, doing something that will count for eternity.
Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Billy Graham once said, “We have so many battles going on in America today that we should be a people of prayer. Our leaders need prayer. Our schools need prayer. Our youth need our prayers. Our families need our prayer.”
America is in a state of chaos and confusion. Mass murders on our citizens and police officers, riots in the streets, immorality and complete disregard of the law. We are being attacked by evil from without and within.
Today, more than ever the USA needs prayer. Chistian will you join with me and pray for revival in America? The only hope for peace in our country is that we as a nation turn back to God.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
SOS Events ministry works in partnership with the local church. Periodically we will post some of the answers to questions that have been asked by fellow workers, pastors and others who may want to know what our beliefs and goals are for the ministry.
Baptism
The focus of SOS is to win souls.
We believe baptism is an ordinance of the church. New believers can be followed up by the church, which would include discipleship, baptism and membership to serve the Lord along side fellow believers.
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
“If you give the devil an inch he will become a ruler.”
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Reports are coming in for the events held on The July 4th weekend. In Polk City, Fl. Randy and Romona Thomas set up a SOS Events booth at the Land of the Free event. Seven souls were saved, 1 adult, 2 teenagers and 3 twelve year olds and one girl age 11. A 15 year old girl wrote on the back of her decision card, “I learned about my spiritual birthday – I asked Jesus to forgive me for my sins and to come into my heart.”
In New Jersey, Lavana and the SOS Events group went to the Columbus Farmers Market and had 6 people make decisions for Christ, 3 from New Jersey 2 from Pennsylvania and one from Virginia.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
