Sam I Am

Ministry Update January 31, 2018

I witnessed at Missouri State University during the lunch hour today. Handed out tracts on the way to the witnessing spot, then when I brought a message explaining why I share the Gospel with them. Because God is great. Right off the bat one student stopped right in front of me to listen. Then Quinn the skateboarding atheist stopped and sat on his skateboard. He asked questions and even though he wasn’t sincere, I used his questions to address the crowd that he drew.  [Read more…]

Great Is The Lord And Greatly To Be Praised

Great Is The Lord And Greatly To Be Praised

Have you ever notice how people throw around the word great? This team is the greatest of all time. Many people consider Michael Jordan one of the greatest basketball players of all time. In 2015, Adrian Peters called himself the Michael Jordan of football. Of course, Muhammad Ali used to call himself the greatest boxer of all time. Many people throw around the word great. But there is truly one great and that is the Lord. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.  [Read more…]

Gospel Preaching Leads To Gospel Conversations

Gospel Preaching Leads To Gospel Conversations

Ministry Update January 28, 2018

Gospel preaching leads to Gospel conversations. An evangelist friend from Georgia says this and it is true. Open-air preaching leads to spiritual conversations, even if people come over to tell you that what you are doing is wrong or that you are witnessing the wrong way. But sometimes it is the spark that causes conversations to get started that otherwise may never happen. Open-air preaching is biblical, it is necessary in our secular society and it causes people to stop and talk to you.  [Read more…]

Love And Honor My Wife

Love And Honor My Wife

Ministry Update January 21, 2018

I love and honor my wife. Yes, I am the spiritual leader of our home, but that doesn’t mean that I run roughshod over my godly wife. The apostle Paul said a man is to love his wife as Jesus loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). How did Jesus love the church? He died for us true believers! The reason I’m pointing this out is because my precious wife requests that I don’t do open-air preaching downtown on Friday nights when I’m by myself. (Sometimes my wife comes out with me, but we drove 14 hours back from Michigan on Thursday and she only had four hours sleep. So obviously I didn’t ask her to go downtown with me). Friday night, my ministry partners couldn’t make it, so I was witnessing on my own. Because I love and honor my wife, I didn’t open-air preach. Instead, I handed out Gospel tracts.  [Read more…]

New Year

It’s a new year. Are you full of hope? Is this year going to be different? Did you make New Year’s resolutions? Have you kept them? You and I are the same people we were at the end of 2017. I can’t escape myself and you can’t escape you. So how are you going to make this year better? How is it going to be different? What is going to change in 2018?  [Read more…]

You Guys Should Have A Podcast

Ministry Update January 14, 2017

Friday night was cold; it was 22 degrees and felt like 8 degrees with the wind chill. I thought it might be good practice for the Super Bowl Outreach coming up the first part of February, since the Super Bowl is going to be in Minneapolis, MN this year. I’m glad I got get a chance to see a little of what it might be like, because just having my fingers uncovered for 5 minutes made them so cold and stiff that I couldn’t turn the pages of the Bible. So, I do need to work on finding some better gloves.  [Read more…]

Peace Be Still

Peace Be Still

Tonight, I want to talk about peace. Don’t you want peace? Wouldn’t you love to see world peace? Do you want peace in your home, at work, peace in your life? I should ask, do you have peace in your life? Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. He is the one who said “Peace be still.”  [Read more…]

Good Fellowship

Ministry Update January 7, 2018

Even though it was cold Friday night (but not as cold as other parts of the country), we had good fellowship. Kelly, Conner, Brandon and I had a great time visiting. Conner’s friend Brandon has done street witnessing before, but Friday was his first time open-air preaching. Praise God! We pray that it won’t be his last time.  [Read more…]

Wake The Dead

Wake The Dead

Wake the dead. No, I’m not talking about zombies or the living dead. I’m talking about waking the dead, as in several biblical accounts of Jesus raising people from the dead. He raised up the son of the widow at Nain. Jesus also raised Jarius’ daughter from the dead. My second favorite account of Jesus raising someone from the dead is where Jesus told Lazarus to come out of the tomb.  [Read more…]

Pro-Satan and Anti-God

Ministry Update December 31, 2017

Are you pro-Satan and anti-God? Of course not you say? Well, are you pro-choice, pro-abortion? If so, then you are pro-Satan. Even if this makes you mad, please keep reading and I will show you biblically how being pro-abortion makes you pro-Satan and anti-God. It’s a sobering thought to think that you are against God.  [Read more…]
