Six of us participated in the What Time Is Purple? Outreach at Missouri State University on Wednesday and we praise God that 1,174 students took the booklets. The weather was great and I’m very thankful that Carla, Connie, Sebastian, Vinton and Jerry joined me for the outreach. We pray that God will use the booklets to reach unbelievers and also to encourage believing students in refuting evolution. [Read more…]
A friend of mine doesn’t believe Jesus was sinless. He told me this recently in a business setting. My friend is a professing Christian. I believe he attends a weak theological church and I pray for my friend and his family to truly repent and surrender their lives to Jesus. So even though I have suspected for a long time that my friend may not really be saved, I was still shocked when he told me that he doesn’t believe Jesus was sinless. [Read more…]
With these updates, many times I say what a blessed night we had witnessing downtown, and Friday night was no exception. I say this frequently because it is true. Every night is different and we never know what we are going to see and hear. Friday night we were blessed with several encouragers, several mockers and a great conversation at the end. The best line of the night was “I gotta stop with the devil’s lettuce.” [Read more…]
Are you afraid of the dark? I admit that I was when I was a little kid. All of my kids also had night lights when they were younger because they too were afraid of the dark. People make fun of you if you are afraid of the dark when you get older. But I’m not trying to make fun of you, instead, I’m sincerely asking: are you afraid of the dark? I’m asking this question tonight because there are some people who should be afraid of the dark. [Read more…]
The polite mocker at Missouri State University that typically just smiles as he walks by, stopped and said, “Can I ask you a question?” I said sure. Then he said, “Why are you doing this if every knee will bow?” Then he turned and walked away. Again, he generally just smiles or laughs as he walks by me. But every now and then he asks questions, but he really isn’t interested in the answers. He just wants to mockingly ask a question and walk on, continuing to mock God. [Read more…]
Many times when we are out here witnessing at St. Louis and Jefferson and we see someone driving the wrong way down Jefferson. It happened last Friday. Even though there is the way that is right, the right way to go on the one-way street, some people inevitably go the wrong way. They end up going against the traffic. [Read more…]
Friday night when I first got out of my, car I could hear Jeff preaching. Jeff and Taylor came up from Arkansas to witness and they started early. As I started walking around my car, five women asked if I would take their picture by the Springfield sign on the Discovery Center building. I said sure, took the picture and told them I had something for them and gave them all New Testaments. Then one girl asked if I witness at MSU and I told her yes. She said, “I thought I recognized you.” Then I made my way to where Jeff was preaching and a man was heckling him from across the street. The man was the first of many that said he would go to Hell. One man toward the end of the night said, “I will go straight to Hell…” [Read more…]
A friend suggested that we witness downtown Saturday night instead of Friday night. Unfortunately, my friend couldn’t make it, but Brian and I were able to hand out New Testaments and Gospel tracts. We were anticipating large crowds since Kip Moore was performing at the Gillioz Theatre at 8 pm and the St. Patricks’ Day pub crawl was scheduled to start at 9 pm. But the crowd was much smaller than we thought it would be. Even though it was a much slower night than we expected, there were some conversations. The best conversation was with a group of four young people and one of them said, “Prove God is real.” [Read more…]
Today I want to talk to Christians. I have a question for those who have been born-again; for those who have truly repented from their sins and surrendered their life to Jesus Christ. Yes, I’m speaking to those who are followers of Jesus Christ our Lord. The question is: are you as evangelistic minded as a man in Hell? [Read more…]
Aaron Lewis, the former Stained frontman drew a sold out crowd at the Gillioz Theatre Friday night. So Pastor Joshua and I were blessed to witness then, even though it was cold and windy. We both brought messages and there was a good crowd waiting to go into the theater. While Pastor Joshua preached, a couple that was smoking stood near the building across from us and they were listening to his message. [Read more…]
