The first new day of the first new week of the new year starts today. Some people are looking forward to a new workweek, others are dreading the prospect of going back to work or school tomorrow. A few may feel hopeless but there is good news. If you are a Christian there are many promises in God’s Word the Bible.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
If you are not a Christian there are promises in God’s Word for you also.
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
To receive Him, (JESUS), ask Him to forgive your sins, believe He died on the cross, was buried, and rose again after the third day, and that He did, so you could be saved. Then call on Him in prayer.

Good News
January 4, 2015Christian Music
January 3, 2015Music is very important to the Christian believer. Today Christian music takes on many forms. Hymns, traditional, contemporary, rock, pop, country and several others.
Much of it has taken on the beat of the secular world. This is where the Christian needs to be wise in what kind of music they hear.
God loves to be worshiped in song. David, a man after God’s heart was a song writer, singer and played an instrument. Music was the only thing that calmed King Saul when he was agitated.
Does the music honor God? Is it praise to Him or just something that makes the listener feel good. Is it music that would tempt the listener into going back into their old lifestyle or is it something that lifts the soul and the spirit?
Like everything in the Christian life we make choices. Pray about the kind of music you regularly listen to.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Love
January 2, 2015“Faith makes all things possible… love makes all things easy.” ~ D.L. Moody
This is a great quote for witnessing. When you talk to someone about being saved and have faith that God will save them that is good, however if you witness to them out of duty and do not have love for them, then witnessing becomes a chore and not a blessing.
Faith and love go together. Many unsaved people do not realize that God loves them. It is our example of love toward them than will show them their need of a Savior.
1 Timothy 1:14
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Happy New Year
January 1, 2015
Begin 2015 by thanking the Lord for the blessings of the past and start today with prayer and Bible study. When your everyday begins with the Lord it will be a blessed year no matter what the circumstances.
Happy New Year from all the staff at SOS Events.
Proverbs 8:17
I love them that love me;
and those that seek me early shall find me.
New Years Eve
December 31, 20142014 is almost over. Today is New Years Eve. Many people will be out partying. There will be accidents, fights and confusion for some who think they are having a good time, only to wake up in the morning with a headache and regrets.
There are some people who are good moral folks, who truly want to turn over a new leaf, as the expression goes, but will find that they will fall back into their same old life in just a few days or weeks.
Then there is the Christian, who knows that a new life can only begin with asking JESUS to forgive their sin, come into their heart and make their life new. CHRISTIANS look forward to 2015 with a different outlook. They know that whatever happens in the New Year, they have a friend, companion and Holy Spirit in them that helps them walk in newness of life.
If you are in the first or second group but would like a true new beginning, ask Jesus to save you today.
Our prayer for all is that you will have a safe and Happy New Years Eve and that 2015 will be blessed.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Temptation
December 30, 2014New Years Day is almost here and many are thinking of starting out new. Here are a few Resolutions. “I’m going on a diet.” “I’m going to quit smoking.” “I’m going to exercise everyday.” “I’m not going to charge anything on my credit card.”
These are just a few that come to mind. How long do these resolutions last? Usually just until that temptation gets too strong and then the resolution is gone. A week? Two weeks?
Do you really want to start new? There is only one way to overcome temptation. Trusting in Jesus Christ.
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.
Volunteers for Jesus
December 29, 2014While many people were still celebrating the Christmas season over the weekend, SOS Events had 3 dedicated volunteers go to the Big Top Flea Market in Tampa, Florida to witness for the Lord.
Ten people received the gift of salvation at that booth.
Ten people are on their way to heaven because three men gave up a few hours of their time to witness for our Lord.
SOS is blessed to have volunteers all over the USA who give of their time and energy to bring people to Jesus in all seasons.
There is room for many more in SOS wherever you live. Imagine just a few hours a week or a month in any season and you can have the joy of seeing people come to Christ.
It is simple and fun. A team ministry. Contact SOS for more information.
Email: info@sosevents.org or call the Founder, Tom. He will personally talk to you about how you can become a soul winner with SOS. (813)784-8242.
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
Seek Wisdom
December 28, 2014
The New Year is almost here. The Bible says to number out days, that we may seek wisdom. True wisdom comes from God.
Are you thinking of what the New Year will bring? Maybe a new job, or a weight loss program, a new house or a new member in the family. All good goals. Sometimes our minds focus on the past and the future that we forget to seek wisdom for today.
The past is gone, the future unknown but today is all God promises. December 28, 2014 is numbered for us to seek God’s wisdom in every area of our lives.
Gift to Jesus
December 27, 2014Did you remember to give JESUS the gift He wanted for Christmas? Many years ago, a little boy only two or three years old was in a Christmas program at a small church.
I have never forgotten the words this small child spoke on that day.
“I’m not very big
Nor very tall you see
but to the dear Lord Jesus
I give all of me.”
That small child is now a man an has given his life to the Lord working with children and influencing multitudes of lives to give their all to Jesus also.
Have you given all of you to Jesus?
Mark 10:21
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest:go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Gift of Salvation
December 26, 2014The gifts have been opened, the feasting is done, some people are rejoicing, some are not pleased. Christmas 2014 is over.
For those of us who know the true meaning of Christmas the joy is still there, but for those who have never accepted God’s gift of salvation through Jesus there is a letdown today.
It is never too late to invite JESUS to forgive you for your sins, come into your heart and life and begin a new life with Him.
Today, the real joy of Christmas can be yours.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
