Break His Legs!

Break His Legs!

Around six years ago or so, my wife went out witnessing with me a few times. Several of my closest friends and even some acquaintances have done the same and just like my wife, they all say the same thing. They just can’t handle the God-mocking, blasphemy and cursing. At first, I didn’t understand this attitude, but after years of street witnessing, I have come to realize that God hasn’t called all of us to be street evangelists. I really thought so when I first got saved. I thought if you are truly saved, you would be out here witnessing. But now I realize that not everyone can handle the God-mocking, blasphemy and cursing. My friends and I that do street ministry don’t like hearing these things either, but we understand that lost people will act like lost people. But I want to share about one time when my wife was with me and she prayed, “God, break his legs!”

If you knew my wife, you’d know that she is one of the most gentle, kindest people that you’ll ever meet. I can’t even kill most bugs in our house. She only wants me to kill flies or ants, but any other bug, she wants me to catch it and take it outside. I’m sharing this with you because her praying “God, break his legs” was very out of character. But that’s how upset she got about a blaspheming, God-mocking young man that was skating around me. I was open-air preaching one Friday night in downtown Springfield, Mo about six years ago and it was truly a circus-like atmosphere.

Like An Annoying Mosquito Or Gnat

While the young man was skating around me, trying to distract me while he was cursing me and blaspheming God, there was a God-hater in a pickup truck right in front of me that kept revving his engine and backing his truck up, rocking it on the curb in front of me. Frankly, I was more worried about the guy in the truck. His tailgate was down and I was preaching on a step stool. All I kept thinking was if he jumps the curb and comes at me, I’m going to jump up into the back of the truck instead of letting him hit me. Thankfully, he never did back fully at me, but I was leery of him. So, he was my main concern at the time. The guy on the skateboard was tough to listen to his blasphemy, but overall, he was more like an annoying mosquito or gnat.

But my wife saw it differently. She didn’t perceive the guy in the truck as a threat at all (maybe because I had a different viewpoint in that he was going to come right at me if he really jumped the curb). But the annoying skateboarder really upset her over him constantly blaspheming God. That’s why she prayed, “God, break his legs!” Again, this is very out of character for my wife, but I think it shows that she had righteous anger over him blaspheming God.

After the night was over and we headed home, she confessed that she prayed that way. I was shocked. I said, “Honey, we aren’t like the sons of thunder (Mark 3:17); the apostles James and John that wanted to call down fire from Heaven against those that opposed the Lord.” She just continued that the blasphemer made her so angry. Then she said that she doesn’t know how I handle the God-mockers and haters all the time. Again, I don’t like it either, but it’s just to be expected when you do street ministry. All we can do is share God’s truth with them and pray that God will break their hard hearts of stone instead of their legs.

Woo Hoo To Sexual Immorality

Woo Hoo To Sexual Immorality

Ministry Update December 13, 2020

It rained most of the day Friday and was still raining when we first started witnessing. But the rain stopped after only about 10 minutes and was clear after that. Only had two mockers that I remember. The first guy was telling me to shut up and looked quite angry. Keven crossed the street to give the guy a chance to talk, but the mocker just walked away. After that I was mentioning different sins and talked about how all sexual relations outside of biblical marriage are sins. At that exact moment, a couple were walking down the street and the woman yelled “Woo hoo” to sexual immorality. [Read more…]

Will God Be Angry Forever?

Will God Be Angry Forever?

Psalm 85:5 states: Will you (God) be angry with us forever?  Will you prolong your anger to all generations? Will God be angry forever? I will read Psalm 85:1-5 shortly to show that this is a believer that is asking God these questions. The Israelites had rebelled against God and He allowed them to go into captivity because of their rebellion. So will God be angry with true believers forever? [Read more…]

Why Do You Get So Mad?

Why Do You Get So Mad?

Whether it’s at Missouri State University, Planned Parenthood, Pridefest or downtown Springfield, MO, I’m always amazed at how mad unbelievers get over the Gospel being proclaimed in the open-air. Some people get so enraged they don’t know what to do. They stomp around and usually cuss out the open-air preacher and vehemently claim that God isn’t real. If this describes you tonight, why do you get so mad?  [Read more…]

Pro-Murder Young Man Angry Over The Gospel

Angry Young Man Right Before He Flips Me Off With Both Hands

Pro-Murder Young Man Angry Over The Gospel

Ministry Update May 27, 2018

My wife and I witnessed at Planned Parenthood on Wednesday and a pro-murder young man was angry over the Gospel being proclaimed in front of the abortion clinic. He was wearing a Subway cap and shirt and looked like he was walking to work. The young man became enraged while walking by on the other side of the road. He yelled something, but I couldn’t hear him. But obviously I could see when he raised both arms in the air and gave me one finger salutes on each hand. Pro-choice, pro-murder advocates are very vocal about the right to murder little babies in the womb.  [Read more…]

Do Atheists Need A New Name?

Do Atheists Need A New Name?

Do Atheists need a new name? I run into people all the time who claim that they are atheists and they vehemently say, “God is not real” or “there is no God.” They are very adamant in their stance. Atheists do not believe that God exists. The original meaning in the Greek is without God. But atheists aren’t neutral to this God they say doesn’t exist. No they are very much opposed to the great Creator God. The One who is all-knowing, all-powerful and ever present. Since they hate the One True God, do atheists need a new name?  [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…]

The Death Of Jesus

The Death Of Jesus

It’s only natural that people talk about the birth of Jesus around Christmas time. People all around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is an exciting time. But why was Jesus born in the first place? Why did He leave Heaven to come to the very earth He created and be born of the virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit? Why did Jesus do this? He was born to die. Jesus came to save His people from their sins. So in addition to everyone celebrating the birth of Christ, it makes sense that we should also talk about the death of Jesus.  [Read more…]

Stop Giving Christians A Bad Name

Stop Giving Christians A Bad Name

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…]

All My Righteousness

All My Righteousness Seek and Save the Lost

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last line of Nothing But the Blood of Jesus goes: This is all my hope and peace, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; This is all my righteousness, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Aaron and I sung this hymn in front of Planned Parenthood recently. We’ve sung this song over 100 times out street witnessing. But on that particular day, the lyrics this is ALL MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS really hit me.
