Last week a student at MSU yelled as he walked by me “Stop giving Christians a bad name.” I don’t know if the young man is a professing Christian or maybe an atheist that grew up in a Christian home, but I’ve been thinking about his comment. I wonder if he really knows what giving Christians a bad name really looks like? [Read more…]
Friday night was very cold. It was 32 degrees and it felt like 21 degrees with the biting wind. It was cold but not too cold to mock God. I’m always amazed at how God mockers can stop and mock God, no matter how cold the weather is and Friday night was no exception. Sadly, even on this cold night, people were lined up most of the night to get into the bar Outland Ballroom across the street from us. But they heard the Gospel as they waited to get in. [Read more…]
Have you ever been in a situation where you thought what have you got to lose? Have you ever been backed into a corner and you come out swinging? You do this because you don’t think that you have anything to lose. Or have you ever been in a bad relationship and you knew that you had nothing to lose to end it? Have you ever been desperate in a dead-end job and decided to go for a new job because you thought what have you got to lose? I’ve been in desperate situations where I felt like I didn’t have any other options; that I didn’t have anything to lose by trying something different. Maybe like you should just flip a coin to make a decision. [Read more…]
Friday night was full of noise! Noise! Noise! No, I’m not talking about our little 37 watt amplifiers. I’m talking about the motorcyclists revving their engines and cranking their stereo’s up. Several cars and trucks revved their engines too. It was very noisy downtown. I understand that lost people don’t like hearing the Gospel. The Bible says it is foolishness to those who are perishing. But a lot of this animosity was directed toward us while we were singing hymns. We also heard many hail Satan’s and other derogatory comments. [Read more…]
I want to talk about the second Adam in the Bible today, but I really should tell you a little about the first Adam, first. It begins with God. Genesis 1:1 says In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Then Genesis 1:26-28 states: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

It’s good to be back home and out witnessing again in downtown Springfield, MO. Aaron and I missed the previous two Fridays and we thank Kelly for coming out both those nights. We were back in our usual witnessing spot and our fellow neighbors didn’t let us down. Several Hail Satan’s were shouted out by people walking by, motorcyclists tried to drown out the preaching and singing with their loud stereos and some people stated that we weren’t witnessing the right way. But we had some encouragers too. [Read more…]
Brad Super Bowl Sunday
This update is about 100 evangelists from around the country converging on Houston, Texas for Super Bowl weekend and how God answered five months of prayers for the outreach. We believe three people got saved, one person was delivered out of a cult, thousands of Gospel tracts were handed out, several Bibles were handed out and many one to one conversations took place. [Read more…]
I have to admit that there is a real excitement about the Super Bowl. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing at several other ones before and it really gets people hopped up. It is one of the largest spectacles in sports. It’s great to be here amid this large, enthusiastic crowd. But did you know that the Super Bowl has a dark side? [Read more…]
