Heading Home

August 26, 2022

When we are on a journey, business or pleasure, the one thing we look forward to is heading home.

As Christians we are on a journey through life. God gives us many things that are for our pleasure. Family, friends, homes, good food, clothing and many things we can enjoy.

God also gives us work to do for him. Love for others, church, witnessing for Him. Many opportunities to do service for the Lord.

However, we should be longing for Home. Heaven. Are we headed in the right direction? We have a roadmap to follow. That is the Bible, God’s Holy Word.

It is important to check the roadmap on a trip, but more important to check the Bible everyday to keep us on the right road.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16

Calling All Youth!

August 22, 2022

SOS Events is calling out to young people who love the Lord and want to learn how to witness.

When you were really little did you learn the nursery rhyme “Mary had a little Lamb.”?

If you did, you can learn how to witness using the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do”

Witnessing is for everyone. SOS EVENTS NEEDS YOU!

Maybe you are a student still in high school or college. You may be just starting out in life looking for something that has real value. Telling others about Jesus is the best thing you can ever do. You will be storing treasure in Heaven for eternity.

Pay Attention!

August 3, 2022

Do we really pay attention when we read the Bible or do a Bible Study? Are we ready to believe everything someone tells us about God’s Word?

Yesterday there was a mistake in the Reference to the Bible verse in this blog. Did you see it? Is there really a book in the Bible called coronavirus? NO!

The reference should have been Corinthians, but in haste the reference was not checked. We need to pay attention when studying God’s Word.

Someone did catch the error and actually the staff of SOS Events laughed over this mistake. We do apologize for the error, but it has taught us a lesson.

My Jesus I Love You!

July 29, 2022

1 My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

2 I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

3 I’ll love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath,
and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

4 In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now

This is an old hymn written many years ago by a young man, William Featherston, only 16 years old. What a great gift to future generations.

However, today in many churches the old hymns with heartfelt meaning are no longer sung. How sad.

Can you join with me an say “my Jesus, I love you.” He loves you.

Call On The Lord, Jesus

July 21, 2022

Jesus is waiting with open arms to welcome you into His family if you have never invited Him to be your Savior.

Many people think that everyone is a child of God. It is true that He created every person, however, you are not His child until you accept Jesus as your Savior.

Call upon Him today. There will come a time when it may be too late.

Thank You To SOS Events Supporters

July 19, 2022

Thank you who give to SOS Events Ministry. Founded in 2001 this ministry has documented over 80,000 souls who have made decisions to follow Jesus. There are some of you who have prayed, volunteered and given financially since the very beginning. Others are new supporters.

Contributions come in snail mail with checks or even cash and there are those people who prefer to give through PayPal. The amount varies from one time large gifts to the little ladies who may send a dollar or two each month. Every donation is appreciated and used to win souls to Christ.

The only paid positions in SOS Events are the small office staff. All others from the President of the ministry to volunteers who spend their own money many times for travel and even cost of events receive nothing from SOS Events except prayer and appreciation. There are a few missionaries who receive designated support and every penny goes directly to them.

Some of you who read this blog may be “turned off” by the subject of money but it does take money to function and win souls in today’s economy. If you have never given to SOS Events but would like to give, every donation large or small is appreciated and will be used to win people to the Lord. Go to the home page and click on the donate button or send via snail mail to SOS, P.O. Box 189, Dover, FL 33527.

If you cannot give financially you can do something even more needed. Pray everyday for the staff, volunteers and most of all for lost souls to be saved.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Life and Death!

July 16, 2022

Really! Do we as born again Christians really believe that if we die we have gained?

Many people have died for their faith. The disciples, martyrs, missionaries and ordinary people who loved Jesus enough to stand for Him even in the face of terrible deaths.

We Christians, especially in America and the Nations in the free world are soft, lazy and contented to live out our lives in comfort.

What if persecution should come. Are we ready? We need to re-examine our faith. To die IS GAIN. We are going to meet our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ!

Think about it.

Choices

July 12, 2022

We make choices every day. We choose what we wear and what we eat. Where we go. We can choose to be happy, sad or grumpy.

The most important choice we will ever make is to accept Jesus as our Savior. The next choice is a daily one, serve the Lord today in our speech and action.

Choose today. Who will you serve?

What Is Your Problem?

July 9, 2022

There are things in life that we all struggle with! Maybe it’s fear. Fear of sickness, lack of finances, or something else.

Is your problem an addiction? Alcohol, drugs, smoking, over eating.

Even good things can become a problem. Too much television, games, anything that we do that takes the place of serving God and family.

Laziness, hatred, gossiping. All these things the Bible addresses. These are the things that we don’t talk about, but they are constantly on our mind. How do we overcome these problems in our lives?

Jesus is the answer. First, we must be sure we know Him as our Savior. Then we must trust Him to help us overcome whatever our problem is causing us to focus on the wrong thing.

Daily turn that problem over to Jesus through prayer. Find verses in the Bible that address your problem. Memorize those verses and when you are tempted to do what you are trying to overcome, repeat those verses and turn to something else to replace that desire.

You can have victory over your problems, but only if you give them to Jesus and trust Him to help you.

Don’t Forget!

July 5, 2022

The Fourth of July celebration is over for this year. Many people will go back now to the same old routine, forgetting why they even celebrate it in the first place. Forgetting that we celebrated freedom and our wonderful USA.

Some people do that after they’ve accepted Jesus as their Savior. They go back to the same old routine, forgetting that they are now a child of God.

If you are someone who has forgotten that you have been forgiven, that you are a new creation in Jesus, and that your life needs to change.

Go back to the foot of the cross. Ask Jesus to forgive you for forgetting his great love and ask him to help you make a change in your life. He is waiting for you!
