The Cure For Shot Nerves

March 5, 2014

Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.

Ephesians 5:19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Souls Saved at Flea Markets

March 4, 2014

Many people get saved every week at Flea Markets in Florida. SOS has a faithful team in Lakeland, Florida. They go to 3 markets a week and average about 40 souls a week.

This is a picture of just one family who made decisions for Christ at the Flea Market.

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 Lord’s Work

March 3, 2014

“Trust God as if it all depends on Him, and work as if it all depends on you.”
Bob Jones, Sr.
When working in a booth at an event, SOS workers know it is God who brings the unsaved in, and it is Him who saves them. However, we must work diligently to bring it about.
Several things must be done by SOS before the event can take place. The booth must be set up, kept clean, look attractive.
The workers must be trained, be faithful, get to the event early and most important have a heart for the lost and pray for The Lord’s blessing.
Whatever work we do for The Lord, Bob Jones, Sr. gave us good advice.

1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Good Example

March 2, 2014

Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events has a heart for the lost. He always uses every situation to hand out a Bible tract or be a witness for The Lord.
Yesterday, we stopped for breakfast at a very crowded restaurant. There was at least a 20 minute wait to get a table.
Tom was coming out of the restroom when he stumbled and almost fell. His color was terrible and one look at him and even the people around could tell something was wrong.
A man came up behind him and would not leave his side until the manager brought a chair for Tom to sit it.
Another employee brought a glass of orange juice when I explained he must be having a low sugar attack.
Feeling really shaky and sick Tom still in the midst of it all, got tracts out of his pocket and made sure the ones that helped got a tract.
The manager of that Cracker Barrel then got us a table immediately so Tom could eat and after he got some food he felt much better.
What an example of a man that loves The Lord so much and has a burden for the lost.

John 13:15
For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Little Sins

February 28, 2014

“A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart.”
Charles Spurgeon
As Christians we often think there are BIG sins, like murder, adultery, stealing, etc. We would never participate in any of those.
But the little sins we can get away with and it won’t hurt anyone. A “white” lie, gossip, unforgiveness, and many others.
Sin is sin and it can ruin the life of a Christian. Let us be careful to identify, confess and put behind us the “little” sins in our lives, that we might be the person that God wants us to be.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Strawberry Festival Begins Today

February 27, 2014

Today begins 11 straight days of opportunity to win souls at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL.
God has given SOS a wonderful team of people who have a desire to witness for The Lord.
Will you join with us in prayer for the lost men, women, boys and girls that will pass by the booth?
The Holy Spirit is the One who draws them to us, convicts them of sin and prepares the heart to receive the message of salvation.
It is our responsibility to give them the gospel and trust God for 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.

True Wisdom

February 26, 2014

Today in our world there is a great lack of true wisdom. We see politicians make decisions that effect all of us but they don’t want these decisions to pertain to themselves. Some police officers believe they are above the law but are quick to make the average citizen obey whatever they say. Teachers who take advantage of students, etc., we could go on and on, but the main problem is that we have allowed the lawmakers to take God out of our society.
We need wisdom in our homes, our cities, counties and nation.

Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Rejoicing

February 25, 2014

SOS Events Ministries has many reasons to rejoice. Every week at flea markets, fairs and other like events souls are saved. The wonderful thing about it is that we work as a team.
Usually one team member presents the “3 Things God Can Not Do” to an unsaved person and another soul winner tells the person how to be saved by sharing the ABC’s of salvation. God gives the increase.
If you would like to know more contact SOS: info@sosevents.org.

John 4:36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal:that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

Answer To Prayer

February 24, 2014

“Prayer is asking; the answer to prayer is receiving.”
John R. Rice
Thank everyone who prayed for SOS training yesterday. There were 24 people who took the training and most signed up to witness in the booth at Strawberry Festival.
Keep praying with us for a few more workers and souls to be saved.
We are expecting God to answer in great measure.

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
