Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
God bless America, Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above;
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
“God Bless America” was written by Irving Berlin as a prayer in 1918 but was not published until 1938 when he revised the words and music. He wanted the song to be sung to promote victory over the treatment of the Jewish people by Hitler in World War II. Berlin wrote many Patriotic songs to encourage the troops as they fough that war.
“God Bless America” has become the unofficial American anthem and is known and sung by many. After September 11, 2001 both Democrats and Republicans joined together to sing it as a prayer.
On this Memorial Day weekend as we reflect on the victories and defeats we at SOS Events ministry would encourage you to pray for our nation today. We live in the greatest nation of the world but we are loosing our freedoms as evil is on every side, from without and from within.
The Bible gives the answer if we would just listen.
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.
“Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened.” Billy Graham
This is Memorial Day weekend for Americans. Sadly many are not even aware of why we have this holiday. The beginning of summer, bargains at the mall or just a time to have a picnic a lot of USA citizens think.
Memorial Day originated after the Civial War to honor the men who died. It was originally called Decoration Day. There are usually parades where living veterans March to honor their fallen heroes. Graves are decorated with American flags and flowers.
We have the great privilege of living in America where we are still free to worship, vote for our leaders and have freedom of speech. This weekend take time to think about the brave men and women who have fought for our country and if you know a veteran or someone who is in the military now say thanks for your service.
There may come a time when the freedoms we so enjoy are taken away. Take a few minutes to pray for wisdom for our leaders. We are still the “land of the free and of the brave.” Pray the USA will continue to be a free country.
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.
It is always a joy to have Pastor Romero and his wife Maria stop in for a visit. Sometimes the communication is a little difficult because of the language barrier but the fellowship is always sweet.
When he prays in Spanish we do not understand one word but the Holy Spirit is there and we feel His presence.
Yesterday they stopped by to get some supplies and brought 66 salvation cards for SOS to process and record. What a blessing. Maria is a wonderful soul winner and so humble she hides her face if she is given any recognition. This couple loves the Lord and are faithful servants.
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.
Weather has a lot to do with when and where events take place. Late Spring and Summertime in Florida the outside events are few because of the extreme heat. While in the northern states Spring, Summer and early Autumn are the seasons when outside events are many.
SOS Events ministry is blessed to have teams in both the North and the South. New Jersey SOS team had their first event for this year (a Flea Market) and there were 8 decisions for Christ. The Alabama team has some schuled events and in Florida there is the monthly car show and also flea markets.
Please pray for all the team leaders and volunteers who are out witnessing in all kinds of weather and circumstances. They witness in season and out of season no matter what.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
COMING SOON!!! New website. The excitement builds as SOS Events launches a new, improved website. The blog, Bible lessons and training will still be available but the graphics will be amazing. Scott and Joyce Weaver, trainers, friends and partners are developing the new look for the website.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
“Give your mind to Christ that you may be guided by His wisdom.” Billy Graham
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Tom is home from the hospital and a nurse comes to the house to treat the wound on his foot. Paul was one of the nurses.
He said he is one of only 6% of all the nurses who are male and Tom was blessed to have him come to the house. As they talked the conversation turned to the subject of salvation. Tom as usual handed Paul a tract and asked him if he had ever seen the “3 Things God Cannot Do”
Paul said he had never heard about the 3 things.
Tom told him: 1. God cannot lie. Titus 1:2. 2. God cannot change. Malachi 3:6. 3. God cannot let anyone in heaven unless they are born again. John 3:3-5.
Then he asked Paul if he had ever been saved. When Paul answered “No” Tom proceeded to explain the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
Paul bowed his head and invited JESUS to be his Savior.
Romans 8:38 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
JESUS gave us the answer to how to live by the 10 Commandments.
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
“If we are to have hope amidst all the menaces and threats of today’s world, it has to be a sturdy and well founded hope…..
It is essential that we recapture and hold fast the New Testament idea that God is the “God of hope”. He is either a present help or He is not much help at all.” J.B. Phillips
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
