You Are a Joke!

laughing-and-pointing

“You are a joke! Don’t you know that everyone’s laughing at you? Nobody wants you here. You are pushing people away from God. Nobody is listening.” These are just some of the comments that a very loud and very irate woman made last Friday night while several of us were open-air preaching on the square.

So the number of Americans that believe in God has dropped a little bit, but around three-fourths of us still believe in God. How about you tonight, do you believe in God?

We are Americans. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are independent people. We don’t want anyone to tell us what to do. We like to be in charge. We want to be on our own. We want to do what we want, when we want, where we want. That’s the American way. But tonight I want to ask you: Who do you serve? [Read more…]
