Witnessing is a natural part of everyday living for Tom no matter where he goes. Yesterday, SOS needed a cable from Radio Shack.
There was a sweet young woman helping him find what he needed and when the purchase was completed, he asked her the question he often asks, “Are you 50, 75, or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?
“I think so, I’m a good person,” was her answer.
“You really aren’t sure are you? Would you like to be sure? ” Tom asked.
When she said she would, Tom then led her to The Lord.
There is nothing that lifts our spirit more than to be used to witness and then see a person respond to the Gospel.
Two blessings, a young woman is on her way to Heaven, and Tom’s heart was overflowing with joy.
Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Witnessing In Everyday Situations
January 16, 2014Hang in There
January 15, 2014There is a poster that hung in my office several years ago. It had a picture of a kitten hanging on a branch of a tree and the words were, ” Hang in there baby, Friday’s coming.”
Today things sometimes look bleak and we get discouraged but the good news is that Jesus is coming soon. What a joy to know that we shall see Him face to face, if we know Him as our Savior.
Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
The Great Phycisian
January 14, 2014Everyone has to go to the doctor for some reason. Sometimes it is something non-threatening like a cold or sore throat. Sometimes it is serious like heart attack or cancer. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all physicians were Christians? We are very fortunate to have one that is a Christian. He prays for us and we likewise pray for him.
How can you tell if you doctor is a Christian? Ask him or her or tell them you are praying for them. Always carry tracts to hand out when going to your doctor. (SOS has a simple tract if you would like a sample)
Also you can search the web to see if there is a Christian physician in your area.
Always remember that it is the Great Physician, Jesus, who is the true healer. Go to Him first and then trust His servant doctor for the best care.
Matthew 8:7
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Rejoice in The Lord
January 13, 2014Do you wake up with a song in your heart? Today my song was “This is the Day That The Lord has Made, I Will Rejoice and Be Glad in It.”!
That made me think that rejoicing is a choice. We choose to be joyful or we can choose to be miserable.
Today let us make the choice to be glad in The Lord.
Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord alway:and again I say, Rejoice.
Wonderful Day!
January 11, 2014Do you get excited about serving The Lord? SOS Events main purpose is winning the lost to Christ and training others how to become soul winners, however, there are a lot of things that go on to keep the ministry running smoothly.
Book work, printing, making displays, creating new tools to help make witnessing easier, maintenance on the property, and many more things to numerous to mention. All these things are necessary to a growing ministry and sometimes the tasks seem overwhelming.
Then at the end of the day we look back and feel that everything that we did that day went well and much was accomplished. Yesterday was one of those days.
What a blessing to see projects get finished. All the goals for the day done. New excitement about serving The Lord and seeing Him give wisdom and blessing. To Him be the Glory!!
Galatians 1:5
To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Quote for the Day
January 10, 2014“The church that is man managed instead of God-governed is doomed to failure. A ministry that is college trained but not Spirit filled works no miracles.”
Samuel Chadwick
John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Senior Servants
January 9, 2014Today is a busy day around the SOS property. Senior Servants meet today. This is a group of 20 or more ladies from at least 5 different churches in the area for one common goal. To help in whatever way they can to further the gospel through SOS Events Ministry.
They come together in harmony to enjoy work, fellowship and lunch. Please pray for them today. Several come physical pain, having to use canes or walkers, some have problems that come from being alone but they are faithful. This group started with 3 ladies about 3 years ago and the group grows every month.
We are so thankful to have these volunteers to help in the labour for The Lord.
1 Corinthians 3:9
For we are labourers together with God:ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
New Life in Christ
January 8, 2014Report from Randy and Joyce Mlinek, January 4, 2014 Auburndale Flea Market
Kathy led Kenny 57, from Auburndale, FL to the lord on December 1, 2012. He returned today simply to say thanks for telling him about Jesus Christ. When he stopped by our booth in 2012, he was depressed & near suicide because his wife had just died & the funeral was two days away. Kenny said his life seemed worthless & without meaning. All of us who were sharing the Gospel that day remember Kenny as we prayed & cried with & for him. We wondered if we would ever see him again. Kenny is attending a good church & has completed all of the “Source Of Light” correspondence Bible studies we offer through SOS. To God be the glory. The next time someone doubts the efficacy of Biblical evangelism, tell them Kenny’s testimony & ask them what they’re doing to win the lost to Jesus Christ.
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.
The Lord Laughs
January 7, 2014Today the whole USA is experiencing extremely cold weather. In many of the northern states it is dangerous to even go outside with the temperature way below freezing, not to mention the snow and ice, which makes driving hazardous.
The “experts” tell us we have global warming, and we are in great danger from heat.
I can imagine God looking down on us and laughing at our foolishness.
If you are someone who is at home today, not able to go out because of the weather, take this unexpected opportunity to worship God with added Bible study and prayer.
Our prayer for you is that you stay warm and safe.
Psalms 37:13
The Lord shall laugh at him:
for he seeth that his day is coming.
One World Religion?
January 6, 2014Welcome to 2014
I’m sure the early 16th Century believers thought we must be near the end!
I’m sure the year 250 looked just as distressing!
and Jesus proclaimed, “what a perverse generation” 2000 years ago.
Not much has changed,as we regress, Christianity will be labeled a cult and outlawed completely. We will be shot on sight for sharing the Gospel. (In America….already happening in some places)
I’ve read the different articles on “Chrislam”, well, what a brilliant scheme!
If I wanted to deceive the World, this is exactly how I’d do it. Combining all religions and removing Christ as Saviour and God.
This makes sense to all non-believers; Politicians, Military, Rights groups, etc.
The challenge is two fold:
1. Bring the lost to Christ; as many as possible
2. Get the new convert to learn and mature…..an ignorant Christian will be in as much danger as a non-believer if Chrislam becomes popular.
To win and disciple the lost is the goal of SOS Events Ministry.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
If you are unfamiliar with the term Chrislam, search it out for yourself.
