Why Christians Do Not Win Souls

March 8, 2016

A recent Lifeway research survey revealed what most of us already know: Christians are reluctant to share their faith. According to Lifeway, 80% of evangelicals know they are called to evangelize, but 61% admit they’ve not had a spiritual conversation with anyone in the last six months.Many have offered new research and fresh strategies to motivate Christians. This is helpful. However,  our hesitance to evangelize is less a matter of faulty methods and lack of opportunity. It goes deeper. There are three spiritual reasons why we don’t evangelize and in the next few days you can find out why they are. 

Don’t be in the 61%. Tell someone about Jesus today. You can at least hand someone a tract, with a smile and ask them to read it.

2 Timothy 4:5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Monday Morning Smile

March 7, 2016

A story to start your week off with a smile.

A little girl was asked what is the difference between a pastor and the congregation. She answered, “The preacher gets paid for being good and the people are good for nothing.”

Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

Running from God?

March 6, 2016

Running from God? You cannot run far enough or fast enough to hide from God. Read Jonah.

Jonah 1:1-3 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

I am a Child of the King

March 5, 2016

This is a family that were saved on the first day of Stawberry Festival. What a blessing to have a whole family come to Christ. 23 people have been saved the first two days of the festival. They are now children of the King.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

What is SOS Events?

March 4, 2016

What is SOS Events?
SOS Events is a ministry started to reach people, to do what God commands and spread the gospel.The Bible teaches there is only ONE WAY to get to Heaven:

A. Admit that you have sinned. “For All have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. Romans 3:23

B. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans10:9b

C. Call upon the Lord. “For whosoever (you) shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” Romans 10:13

PRAY:  Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins, I ask that you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you, Jesus. Amen

If you do these things you will go to Heaven.

SOS means Serving Our Savior.
God called Tom and Carolyn Curtis, founders of SOS Events, to evangelize the USA. They have committed their lives to the Lord full time.
Who do you know that needs to be born again? What have you done to tell that person how to be saved? Salvation comes by hearing the Word of God. God provided the method and the tools to reach people through SOS Events.
SOS trainers teach churches, youth groups and all ages of people how to invest their time serving God which is our “reasonable service.”
After many years of leading people to salvation, SOS needs much prayer, financial support and committed people to partner with us, to lead friends, neighbors and people at events to salvation.
If you have a friend or relative who is unsaved, give SOS a way to contact them and we will do our best to get the gospel to them. Better, yet, SOS can teach you how to be a better witness and through the Holy Spirit you could be the one to lead them to Christ.

Opening Day

March 3, 2016

  
Florida Strawberry Festival opens today. Please pray for many souls to be saved in the next 11 days. Many thanks to the staff of SOS Events ministry who have worked endless hours to make the booth beautiful, trained volunteers, made phone calls and worked diligently to get ready for this event. 

It takes months of preparation and prayer to get ready for the Festival each year but the hard work is all to bring people to realize that they need to be saved and on their way to Heaven. Please join with us in prayer for many to be saved today and throughout the next eleven days.

Luke 14:23  And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

The Love of God

March 2, 2016

The following is a message on a church sign:

The love we have is God’s gift to us – what we do with it is our gift to God.

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Asking for Prayer

March 1, 2016

There are many of you who are blessed through the blog and today I am asking for your help. Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Evevts ministry has been fighting to recover from surgery since mid October 2015. Three of the incisions have not healed on his left leg. He is in need of prayer for healing. One doctor has operated twice and we need to have a different opinion and it becomes a difficult situation because doctors do not like to take over another doctor’s patient. We know that Jesus is the true healer and He can bring healing quickly through our prayers.

Tom is the most dedicated soul winner, leader, husband, father and friend and he is needed in the ministry as well as on the home front. Please pray for him today even if it is just one time right now. God does answer prayer of His children.

James 5:16  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Full Schedule?

February 29, 2016

Monday morning and you look at your calendar for the week and wonder how you will get everything done. The days are full, the schedule is overwhelming  and your energy is lacking. First, stop and take a few minutes to pray and seek God’s wisdom and help and your day will be better. You will get through this week and when you look back you can Praise the Lord that He was with you through this busy time. Remember those minutes you spend with Him makes everyday go smoothly.

Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Pastors Need Prayer

February 28, 2016

“Don’t put your Pastor on a pedestal where he can get knocked off, put him on your prayer list where he can be lifted up.”

Today as you go to church pray for your pastor. He needs the power of the Holy Spirit and encouragement. D. L. Moody became a powerful evangelist because as he preached he had a group of people praying for him and thousands of people were saved though his ministry.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
