God Sent Me To Test You

Ministry Update October 30, 2016

We had a fairly quiet night Friday night witnessing downtown. The crowd was very small, but a lot foot traffic moved around us the whole time Aaron, Erica, Diana, Elise, Serenity and I were witnessing. We sang a few hymns to start the night, then I brought a message Do You Have Peace With God? Toward the end of my message a young man wearing a Halloween mask tried to interrupt me. I told him that I was about finished then I’d be happy to talk to him. He tried several more times to interrupt me, but I finished it. The earth shattering thing he had to say was to complain that I was reading my message. He said I needed to speak from my heart and then he said “God sent me to test you.”  [Read more…]

Some Of The Most Overlooked Verses In The Bible

I am not a biblical scholar, but just from years of street witnessing, I think the Bible verses I’m going to share tonight are some of the most overlooked verses in the Bible. I say this because many people don’t acknowledge them. They don’t accept these as being God’s authority. But all Scripture is God-breathed. The whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation is inspired by God through the power of the Holy Ghost.  [Read more…]

Like a Good Neighbor

Ministry Update October 23, 2016

No this isn’t a State Farm commercial, it’s an update from Friday night. Aaron, Erica, Diana, Elise and I witnessed downtown. Overall it was a much quieter night than the previous weekend. We had a couple of neighbors in the apartments in the old Heers building come over and complain about the noise of our amplifier.  [Read more…]

Preaching At People

Last Wednesday a young man came up to me while I was reading about Paul’s conversion in Acts 9 and he opened his Bible and read to me: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward (Matthew 6:5).  [Read more…]

Mockers From Beginning To End

Ministry Update October 16, 2016

I was the first one of our group on the square Friday night and two young people started talking to me. The young woman was asking spiritual questions, but the young man kept making vile and crude remarks. He was so bad she actually pulled him away and walked on. What a way to start the night and really hadn’t even started yet. But that’s how the night went; we had mockers from beginning to end.  [Read more…]

Sin Righteousness Judgment

Jesus told His disciples that He was going to suffer, die and rise from the grave (Mark 8:31). Our Lord told them that He is the Messiah, that He is the Savior. He also told them that He would send the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide them.  [Read more…]

Mocking Muslims

Ministry Update October 9, 2016

Brian, Aaron and I witnessed at Missouri State University last Wednesday and four Muslims stopped to mock me while I was bringing a message about the apostle Paul’s conversion. About the time they walked up another student yelled get a job to which I replied “I have a job, yet I take time out of my busy schedule to come here to share the Gospel with you.” I was about finished with the message at that point and the Muslims were still standing there. So I went over and talked to them.  [Read more…]

Life In The Blood

I don’t know about you, but I get squeamish at the sight of blood, especially my own. One morning I woke up and a blood vessel had burst in my eye. When I looked in the mirror and saw dried blood coming from my eye, I immediately passed out. When I woke up, my wife was standing over me and I kept looking at her wondering why she was upside down. Then I realized that I was lying flat on my back on the bathroom floor. (Luckily I missed the corner of the wall by an inch or less).  [Read more…]

Drunk Lesbians Threaten To Beat Us Up

A couple of self-professing drunk lesbians threatened to beat up Aaron, Erica and myself. Erica and Aaron have both been jailed for their faith and Aaron has been punched several times by unrepentant sinners. All that kept going through my mind was “this wouldn’t be the first time.” I’ve been attacked by a drunk lesbian before.  [Read more…]

Out Of This World

When I was a kid, we used to say ‘far out.” We’d say this expression when we thought something was really cool. Jesus is far out. There’s never been anyone like Him and there never will be. He raised people from the dead, healed the blind and lame and fed multitudes of people. In fact, you won’t find anyone else in the Bible who healed a person who was born blind except for Jesus. But Jesus is far out as in out of this world. He is out of this world. He is seated at the right hand of God the Father in Heaven. He truly is far out. He is out of this world.  [Read more…]
