Chase And Austin In A Conversation

Great Conversations

Ministry Update September 3, 2022

It rained all day Friday but quit around 5:30 pm or so and we only had few drops of rain while out witnessing and it didn’t start raining again until I was headed home. Chase, Austin, Joshua, Reed, Tyail and Michael joined me witnessing Friday night. Before we got started, Chase and I talked about him brining a message after I brought one. But the night was full of great conversations and Chase didn’t even get a chance to open air preach. But he was ok with that because Chase understands that we open air preach to get people to come over and talk to us and he had so many conversations that he didn’t get to preach.

Joshua In A Conversation While Tyail Holds Her Jesus Sign

I had a couple of drive by mockers while I was open air preaching and Michael was nearby handing out Gospel tracts. During that time, Joshua was in a conversation across the street and Tyail was holding her Jesus sign nearby. Reed was on another corner handing out tracts and Chase and Austin were handing out tracts and talking to people on a different corner. During my message, a guy walked up to me and said, “Take the bag.” I replied, “What’s in it?” He repeated take the bag and that time I told him that I wasn’t taking the bag. Then he smirked and said it was full of dog poop.

Jesus Loves You

Ministry Update August 21, 2022

Toward the end of the night Friday night two couples walked by us and all four refused the tract I offered them. One of the ladies turned around and said, “Jesus loves you.” I said, “How do you know that?” She laughed and replied, “Jesus loves everyone.” Again, I said, “How do you know that?” I told her that Jesus said you must be born again (John 3:7) and He also said unless you repent, you will all likewise perish (Luke 13:3). The Bible doesn’t say that Jesus loves everyone. In John 14:21, Jesus says, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

Then the woman’s husband jumped in and said that he’s been baptized, that he goes to church and we are being judgmental. Please note being baptized doesn’t save you. Going to church doesn’t save you. Trevor was beside me and he tried to talk to the man, but the man just repeated what his wife said, that Jesus loves everyone and kept walking. This is exactly why we do street evangelism. Too many people believe in a “hippy-dippy Jesus” of their own making. They don’t believe in the real Jesus, the Son of God, the Jesus of the Bible. Jesus warned that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8). If Jesus loves everyone, why is there a real, literal, place of torments – Hell? There’s a literal, real Hell and all unbelievers are headed there. [Read more…]

Judge Yourselves Unworthy

Judge Yourselves Unworthy

The Apostle Paul went to Antioch in Pisidia and shared the Gospel with the Jews in the Synagogue. After he had done so, the Jews there rejected the salvation that is found in Jesus Christ alone and Paul says to them: “You judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life.” Strong words from the apostle. The Jews in Antioch in Pisidia had judged themselves unworthy of everlasting life. [Read more…]

Who Do You Thank?

Many people will thank God for His provisions on Thanksgiving Day. But what about those who don’t believe in God? Who do atheists and agnostics thank? Who do skeptics thank? Yes, who do unbelievers thank? What are you thankful for? More importantly, who do you thank?  [Read more…]

Unless You Believe

Unless You Believe

What do you believe tonight? Who or what do you believe in? The majority of people nowadays believe in evolution, especially those 30 and under (73% of them believe in evolution). But evolution and secular science can’t explain where we come from, why we are here or where we are going. Atheism at its core is so anti-God that atheists believe everything came from nothing. Some atheists recognize how ludicrous this is, so they now are saying that aliens originally populated the earth.  [Read more…]

The Unsparing God

God is known as the great Creator, the one true God, all powerful, all knowing and ever-present God. He’s also called Father God. There is no god beside Him. The Bible has many names for God including Lord God Almighty, the most high God, Lord, Master, the Lord my Shepherd, the Lord that heals, the Lord is peace, the Lord of hosts and the everlasting God, just to name a few. But did you know that the Lord is the unsparing God?  [Read more…]

I Ask God To Forgive Me

Ministry Update March 5, 2017

We were very blessed to have ten of us out witnessing Friday night. We sang hymns to start the night and then four of us brought messages, including Steven with his first message on the box. He’s quotes Bible verses in the past, but Friday night he quoted three Scripture verses and expounded on them. Praise God!  [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…]

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…]
