Childlike – Good Moral Teachings.

Good Moral Teachings

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on February 12, 2023. If you watched the game, you probably saw a couple of the He gets us TV ads. Admittedly, I don’t know too much about the He gets us ads nor their website. I’ve seen a few of their ads and they appear to be about good moral teachings. I’ve seen the ones that say be childlike and love your enemies. What’s wrong with these messages? Nothing’s inherently wrong with the messages. They contain good moral teachings. But good moral teachings are not the Gospel. [Read more…]

Dying Well

Dying Well

Tonight we are out here to talk about a subject that no one wants to talk about, but the subject is something that happens to all of us. We are out here tonight to talk about dying. Not just about dying, but about dying well. We are all going to die one day. You can’t cheat death. It happens to all of us, even though we don’t like to talk about it. But since we are all going to die one day, it is important to talk about. Yes, we need to talk about dying and more importantly, we need to talk about dying well. [Read more…]

Savior Of The World

Savior Of The World

I love reading the Bible and the other day I was reading John 4 about Jesus and the woman at the well. It’s a great story, but what really jumped out at me was the people of Sychar called Jesus the Savior of the world. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and there is no other. The Lord Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords and He is the only Savior of the world.

Acts 12:4 states: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent (John 17:3). [Read more…]

Who Do You Hold Fast To?

Who Do You Hold Fast To?

Last Friday when I was driving to witness downtown, I noticed the name of the bar at the corner of East Trafficway and Kimbrough. It’s called Hold Fast Brewing. Hold fast reminded me of the Christian song He Will Hold Me Fast by Keith Getty. Then I thought, I really don’t know what hold fast even means. Do you know what it means to hold fast? According to Dictionary.com, hold fast means to continue to believe in or adhere to an idea or principle. So on one hand we have a brewing company called Hold Fast Brewing. Evidently, they are going to hold fast to their commitment to make beer (or maybe they want you to hold fast to their beer). The Christian song He Will Hold Me Fast talks about Jesus holding believers secure. [Read more…]

Why The Message – What Will Happen To J.T. Everlost?

Why The Message – What Will Happen To J.T. Everlost

Why the message – What Will Happen To J.T. Everlost? The message came from encounters in person and online with J.T. Eberhard. J.T. is one of the founders of Skepticon. They are an atheist group that meets in Springfield, MO once a year. I hear it’s a pretty tawdry and disgusting drunk fest and they make fun of God (who ironically they say doesn’t exist. Why would you make fun of someone that isn’t real?). Anyway, they used to hold the event at the Gillioz Theatre or The Expo Center and we could interact with people coming and going to the event. But several years ago they moved it to another location where we can no longer talk to them. I guess they didn’t want to come out and play anymore. [Read more…]

Killing Babies Is Essential!

Killing Babies Is Essential!

Like much of the rest of the country, Springfield Missouri is under a shelter in place order. Our order started a few days ago and is in effect for 30 days. Basically, everyone is supposed to stay at home unless their job is deemed essential. Examples of essential businesses includes doctors, grocery stores, hotels, financial services and evidently Planned Parenthood. Yes, killing babies is essential in America. We live in an upside-down world. In the United States of America, we are rightly concerned about the more than 3,000 deaths so far from the coronavirus. Yet, at the same time, most Americans are unconcerned about the 3,000 precious babies that are murdered each and every day. They are violently pulled apart, limb by limb in the womb. Over 3,000 deaths from Covid-19 is horrible, but how much more horrendous is the killing of 3,000 babies each and every day?  [Read more…]

Seek And Save The Lost

Seek And Save The Lost

God brought to mind the name Seek and Save the Lost when I named this ministry toward the end of 2009. What really caught my attention is that it is biblical and I especially liked the seeking part. There’s something very comforting in knowing that Jesus is seeking the lost. But lately, God has the “save the lost” part standing out to me. Not only is Jesus a seeking God; He also is a saving God. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. The King James Version puts it this way:  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). [Read more…]

Do You Believe This?

Before Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the Lord talked to Lazarus’ sister Martha. Basically, Martha told Jesus that if He had been there, she knew that Jesus would have healed him and her brother wouldn’t have died. She was lamenting the fact that Jesus didn’t get there in time to heal her brother. Martha and her sister Mary were heartbroken over the death of their brother. [Read more…]

Jesus Is The Son Of God

We come out here and lift up Jesus Christ the Lord. Jesus is the Son of God. He is the only Savior of mankind. Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden and all of us have sinned since then. All sin is rebellion against God. Everyone who dies in their sins goes to Hell and suffers everlasting torments for their rebellion against God. We plead with you to repent from your sins and surrender your life to Jesus. Receive life, eternal life. [Read more…]

Does The Gospel Sound Foolish To You?

My friends and I come out here on Friday nights and share the Gospel. We typically point out that all of us have sinned against God, that we’ve all rebelled against God and there’s nothing that we can do to save ourselves. Does the Gospel sound foolish to you? [Read more…]
