Preaching To The Choir

Ministry Update November 12, 2017

Friday night Conner and I witnessed downtown. North Point Church had a special event at the Gillioz Theater across the street from us. The event was called The Gathering that I’ve been told they do a couple of times a year. I think the theater holds close to a thousand people and there appeared to be hundreds of people coming out when the event when it was over. So we had a larger crowd than most Friday nights and I’m sure most people walking past us thought we were preaching to the choir. But that’s alright, the choir needs to hear the Gospel too.  [Read more…]

I Read The Pamphlet You Gave Me

Ministry Update November 5, 2017

On Wednesday I was sharing the Gospel at Missouri State University. I was explaining how foolish it is for students to claim that God does not exist. I was quoting from Romans 1 and John 3. A student came up and said, “I read the pamphlet you gave me.” I replied, “the one about science?” She said yes the science one and that it was really good. The student was talking about Tim Stout’s booklet How God Reveals Himself Through Science that several of us handed out last month. She thanked me for giving her the pamphlet.  [Read more…]

God Doesn’t Believe In Your Unbelief Of Him

Last week a student put her hand up refusing a tract at MSU and then she turned around and said, “I don’t believe in God.” I didn’t say anything because I’m trying not to respond in a harsh way to God-mockers and scoffers. But I can’t get this out of my mind because what I really want to say to the young woman is “God doesn’t believe in your unbelief of Him.”  [Read more…]

I Like Jesus

Ministry Update October 29, 2017

Friday night while I was bringing a message, Conner handed out tracts. He offered tracts to a group of young men and they refused the tracts, but one of them said “I like Jesus.” I like Jesus, just like saying I like the color red. No real emotion or anything. Have we become a society so used to social media that we just break everything down to what we like or dis-like? I didn’t hear the young man, but I suspect it wasn’t just like as in liking a Facebook post. I think the young man was indicating that he likes Jesus. That Jesus is alright by him.  [Read more…]

Stupid Questions Ignorant Statements

I remember several teachers when I was younger that used to say, “There are no stupid questions.” Now I understand that they were trying to encourage students to not be afraid to ask anything, but the statement is false. There are stupid questions There are stupid questions and ignorant statements.  [Read more…]

Light Night Loaded With Open-Air Preachers

Ministry Update October 22, 2017

Friday night was a light night loaded with open-air preachers. It was a cool night and the crowd was light, but it was great having Kelly, Steven, Conner and Brian come out witnessing. Even though the crowd was light, we had both some encouragers as well as mockers. Plus, we had a good time visiting with each other when we weren’t bringing messages.  [Read more…]

If You Believe With All Your Heart

Even in our current secular society, many people will profess that they believe in Jesus. We see it all the time in Springfield, MO as well as other parts of the country. A friend of mine that is an open-air preacher that lives in North Carolina recently posted a video of a cowboy that professed that he believed in Jesus. But when my friend prompted him with more questions, the guy said some really, crazy stuff.  [Read more…]

I Don’t Know Jesus And Don’t Know If I Ever Will

Ministry Update October 15, 2017

Before Kelly and Steven joined me downtown Friday night, I handed out tracts. A lesbian couple walked by holding hands, but I just smiled and offered them a tract. The young woman closest to me took a tract. I figured getting God’s truth in her hand was better than bashing her over the head with warnings that no homosexual shall inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). One guy told me that he’d received my literature before, but he still took a tract and thanked me for being there. Another man was quite supportive and thanked me for sharing the Gospel out on the streets.  [Read more…]

No Outreaches This Last Week

Leave a Comment

I was moving a family member out of state, so there were no outreaches this last week. Kelly and his life group from his church went to Freeway Ministries Friday night. Since I don’t have anything to report, I want to link to one of my favorite nights of witnessing. (Before you send me hate mail about the word transvestite, the original post was written in 2012 before the word transgender became a household name.)
