“There is nobody so bad that they can’t be saved and nobody so good that they don’t need to be saved.” Adrian Rogers
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
“It is wonderful when God saves a drunkard which He sometimes does, but it is more wonderful still when God saves little children before they become drunkards, libertines, and degenerates.” Bob Jones, Sr.
Yesterday, two of our SOS Events workers went to the Plant City Car Show to witness and win souls. We had great expectations for a good harvest at this event. We expected a large crowd because the weather was beautiful and it is a holiday weekend. We were disappointed however, because the crowds were sparse and there were only three other vendors at this event.
Only one salvation. Should we be disappointed? No! This one salvation was a young boy, eight years old, who made a decision to follow Jesus. God is the One who brings the increase and He knows what this one little boy will become.
Great preachers, Billy Graham, Billy Sunday, Adrian Rogers, Bob Jones Sr., Charles Stanley, Jerry Falwell and many other preachers too numerous to name were once little eight-year-old boys. We rejoice that this one boy was saved yesterday and continue to pray with us that he will grow in Christ.
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Are you a Sunday Morning Christian? Or worse yet a twice a year Christian, (Christmas and Easter) you only go to church on those times or maybe to a wedding or funeral.
Today may be the day you will go. God doesn’t want your outward show. He wants all of you, everyday 24 hours a day.
If you are truly born again then worship Him with your life and action 24/7. If you are not saved, go to church today and if the Pastor gives the gospel and an opportunity to invite Jesus into your heart and forgive your sins then do that today. Maybe you are not planning go to church today, you can be saved as you read this. Admit to God you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus died on the cross as payment for your sins, and Call on Him to save you.
Pray this simple prayer but mean it with your heart: Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins. I ask that you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you Jesus. Amen
This can be the happiest Christmas you have ever had. Give Jesus the best gift you have, YOURSELF.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Everyone who is saved has a different testimony. Some were saved as a small child through the influence of parents, grandparents or a godly Sunday School teacher or bus worker. They really do not know what it is like to be in the world as sinners and have the most time to serve the Lord.
Others lived a life of sin and came to know Jesus after they came to the end of their rope and felt hopeless and had no place to turn. Maybe a Christian handed them a Bible tract and witnessed to them, or they went into a mission for food and a warm bed, and still others met an SOS Events worker at an event. These people are so thankful to be out of a life of sin and many want to tell others of their wonderful Savior.
There is a group of people who lived a good life, went to church, tithed, were moral, and did not commit any terrible sin. This group is the hardest to reach for Christ because they think they are good enough to to get to Heaven, but they realized they needed to be saved.
Every category of Christian falls into one of these groups, all are sinners in need of a Savior. If you are saved you can be thankful for your salvation. This is the greatest blessing in your life no matter if you are rich or poor, male or female, young or old. Today join with us in thanking God for your salvation.
Ephesians 12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 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, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Matthew 19:13
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
SOS Events has many events where children make decisions for Christ. One of the testimonies from a 7 year old little girl, written on the back of her decision card:
“I asked Jesus to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins.”
Children many times understand and accept Jesus because they have unwavering faith.
Corey, age 25, wrote on the back of his decision card, “I feel wonderful to have Jesus in my heart.”
This is just one of the comments from the 60 plus souls that made a decision at the Talladega Races in Alabama. What a joy to be a part of SOS Events Ministry and see people’s lives changed and become new.
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.
Praise the Lord, 15 souls saved yesterday at Talladega races.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Tom Curtis is always a witness for the Lord. Myra is a sweet young woman who is in housekeeping at the hospital. True to form Tom witnessed to her when he first got to the hospital. She trusted in Jesus and was excited to learn she would get a Bible study in the mail in a week or two.
The wait for his surgery was several hours and while sitting in the waiting room Myra saw me and came over to give me a hug. She was still talking about her salvation and wanted to be sure she sees Tom before he is released to go home.
Please continue to pray for him as recovery is not going as well as we would like.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
I would like you to know as I write this, I am dying. But the most amazing thing, so are you. When we are born, every day we get closer to death. The BIBLE says murder is a sin. However,Planned Parenthood is killing little babies. That is called MURDER which is punishable by GOD. I cannot imagine after they murder the baby they cut the baby apart. What do you think about that?
Everyone, the Supreme Court, the PRESIDENT, the people who are appointed to lead our country will be accountable. No one is being punished by man. There is a judgement day coming when all mankind will face God. There is only one way to escape the punishment for sin, (murder or any other) is to repent and ask Jesus to forgive, accept His death, burial and resurrection.
Tick, tick, tick, the pendulum of the clock of time is swinging rapidly.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
God does not have any grandchildren. God talks many times in the Bible about His children (people who had been born again). Nowhere in the entire Bible is the word grandchild mentioned.Every person who wants to go to Heaven must be born again. You cannot make that decision for anyone but yourself. That is why it is so important to win your family to Christ.
The Bible tells us to train up a child in the way he should go, maybe your children are grown and you have not won them to Christ yet. Maybe it is your parent, sibling or spouse. Never give up, pray for them, be a good example and trust the Holy Spirit to convict them.
At events many times someone, who comes into the SOS EVENTS booth to be saved, tells the soul winner that their mother, father or grandparents have been praying for them.
GOD Answers prayer. He is more interested in your family being saved then you are, so keep on trusting him for the results.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
