We Follow Satan

We Follow Satan
Ministry Update November 25, 2024

Anand, two of his daughters and I handed out tracts last Friday on a cold, quiet night. But the strangest interaction was with a couple that refused tracts. They said no to me and then as they turned the corner, Anand’s daughters tried to hand them tracts too. But they refused them and the man yelled out, “We follow Satan!” So I yelled after him, “Satan can’t save you.” “Yes he can,” the man replied. So I stated, “Only Jesus can save you. Satan will be right there next to you in Hell, but you won’t care about him and he won’t care about you.” By that point, they were too far away to say anything else.

The only real conversation was one that Anand had with a young man named Evan. Anand handed him a a tract and told him that it’s a Gospel tract. Evan said that he was a Christian, so Anand asked him how he came to faith. The young man couldn’t say. So Anand asked him if he’s going to Heaven and Evan said, “I hope I’m good enough.” Anand gently explained to him that the Bible says none of us are good. That’s why we need Jesus – we need the perfect One who bore our punishment to save us. We pray that God will convict and convert Evan.

 Don’t You Have A Job?

I handed out tracts last Wednesday at Missouri State University during the lunch hour. (I had just posted a couple of days earlier on Facebook how there seemed to be a different spirit on campus this year. I wasn’t even open-air preaching this day, just handing out Gospel tracts. All the mockers saved it up for this day). One girl refused a tract and said, “I’m not into cults.” I replied, “That’s a good thing, because I’m not into cults either.” Another girl yelled an emphatic NO! Then toward the end of my time there, a girl walked by and said, “Why are you always here on Wednesdays? Don’t you have a job?” (That one cracked me up). I told her that I do have a job, but I’m worried about her eternal soul, even if she isn’t.

Then the girl from last week that grew up atheist also walked by. I was handing out What Is The Meaning of Life tracts from Living Waters. I directed her to their website (again). Hopefully she will go there since she’s the one wanting to witness to her friends.

May God bless the tracts that were handed out downtown and on the campus. These updates are provided to encourage Christians to share their faith in Jesus with others. It’s easy to hand out a tract and say, “Did you get one of these?”

Are You Wicked?

Are You Wicked?

This is a serious question: Are you wicked? Absolutely not you might say. So why am I even asking this question? Because God has some harsh things to say about the wicked. God hates all workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5). God is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11). But here’s the really scary one: The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God (Psalm 9:17).

The wicked shall be turned into Hell. This should frighten every single person that is not a follower of Jesus. If Jesus is not your Lord and Savior, you should have sleepless nights. The terrors of Hell should frighten you nearly to death. You should tremble and fear. Yes, you should shake in your shoes. The demons believe and tremble (James 2:19). Why do they tremble? Because even though they know God is real, they know they follow Satan and they are on the losing side. They know that they have Hell to pay!

So why are you listening to this with no fear and trembling? Because you don’t believe that you are one of the wicked ones. When I say this, I’m talking specifically to unbelievers. Those of us who are truly saved, know that God has saved us out of our wretchedness and we have surrendered our lives to Jesus. But for those of you who are hearing this and are not saved, you most likely have no fear because you don’t see yourself as wicked. You ignore the warnings and hearing about God being angry with the wicked didn’t faze you at all because you think that you are not wicked. [Read more…]

Absolutely Not!

Absolutely Not!

Ministry Update June 4, 2023

A couple of short (sad) encounters stood out Friday night while we were witnessing downtown. A group of people refused tracts so Joshua asked them if they know where they are going? One young man said that he knew and implied that it was wonderful (sounding like he’s going to Heaven). Joshua then asked him how he’s going to get there and the young man replied that he didn’t have to share that information. I reminded him that Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). If you aren’t willing to share the Good News, you probably aren’t really saved. I couldn’t hear what the young man mumbled after that.

Then I tried to hand a tract to a couple of young women and they both refused. So I asked them if they know Jesus and the one said, “Absolutely not!” I told her to have a nice life because she’s going to have a horrible afterlife. Hell is real and repentance and faith in Jesus is the only way to avoid it. Most people didn’t react that way Friday night. Most of the people who refused tracts just said no thank you and we told them to have a good night. But when we encounter a really hard-hearted person, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with warning them of the reality of Hell and that they are headed for that awful place.

Group Friday night – Anand and his family, Michael and Joshua.

Evangelist Family

Anand, his wife and five children joined Joshua, Michael and I witnessing Friday night. I always love to see families come out. Anand’s daughters were fun to watch handing out tracts and his wife mainly watched the girls and made sure they had tracts, but when they missed a person, Anand’s wife was quick to offer a tract. Again, it was a real blessing to have his whole family come out. Since there were so many of them in one family, Joshua and I went across the street to a different corner to witness. Michael joined us later on. I brought a short message and didn’t have any mockers or encouragers.

Earlier in the night, I handed a tract to a guy named Antoine. I told him that it was a Gospel tract that tells you about Jesus. He made a positive comment so I asked him if he’s a Christian and he said that is. When I asked him how he came to faith in Jesus, he said it was when he hit rock bottom. He cried out for God to save him. Antoine didn’t have a Bible, so I gave him a New Testament. But he knew Bible verses as we talked with him. Joshua quoted him many Scriptures and Antoine kept saying Amen and quoted Bible verses too. He doesn’t currently have a church home, so Joshua gave him an invite card to South Creek Baptist Church. Talking to Antoine was the best conversation of the night that I was involved with. My friends and I also had a great time of fellowship and we pray that God will bless the tracts that were handed out.

Do You Believe God’s Word

January 31, 2023 by dennis@seekandsavethelost.com Leave a Comment

Do You Believe God’s Word?

Do you believe God’s word? Do you believe the Bible? In 2017 Barna did a study and found that only 17% of professing Christians in America hold to a biblical worldview. Their definition of a biblical worldview was “believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today.”

So you see why I’m questioning: Do you believe God’s word? It is a valid question. If only 17% of professing Christians have a biblical worldview, that means a lot of professing Christians do not hold to a biblical worldview. So what’s wrong with not having a biblical worldview? For one thing, you are placing yourself above God. You are making your own self a little g god and you are saying that you know better than the one true God, who HAS revealed Himself in Scripture.

Are You Speaking In The Tongues Of The Devil?

August 7, 2022 by dennis@seekandsavethelost.com Leave a Comment

Only God Can Judge Me

Are You Speaking In The Tongues Of The Devil?

Friday night before we started open air preaching, a woman and man walked by us. Trevor and Elly’s daughters tried to hand them tracks. The woman said no thank you twice, but in a mean tone. Trevor spoke up and said, “Jesus came to save sinners Ma’am and you are qualified. I am qualified. We are all qualified.” Then he mentioned that we need to trust Jesus to save us. The couple got about a half a block away and the woman turned around and said, “You are judging. You are being judgmental. Only God can judge me.” At that point I spoke up and said, “You’re right, God is going to judge you and that’s why we are out here warning you to flee from the wrath to come.”

I know some people think that we are too confrontational or too provocative, but we intend to be a little provocative. Too many people are spiritually sleep walking through life. Some people need to be jolted out of their comfort zone. Judgment Day is real and it will not be a joyful day for those who die outside of Jesus Christ. Toward the end of the night the same couple came walking past me. I was on the other side of the street at that point. I recognized them, but offered them tracts anyway. The man who didn’t say a word the first time around, looked right at me and said, “Are you speaking in the tongues of the devil?”

Are You Speaking In The Tongues Of The Devil?

Unpardonable Sin

I hate to admit it, but I got in the flesh over this one. The man riled me up. I told the man that he’s treading on dangerous ground. The religious leaders attributed Jesus’ miracles to the devil and Jesus said that was the unpardonable sin. I pleaded with the man to repent immediately and trust Jesus. The woman kept yelling back, “God bless you” and “God loves you.” I was loudly rebuking the man when a young couple walked toward me. I explained to them what the man had said and the young man said that he understood. Th young man wouldn’t take a tract, but the young woman did.

Trevor and I both brought messages and we both had mockers But there was a man in a convertible that drove by while we were open air preaching and he hollered “Amen!” Elly and her daughters held signs and handed out Gospel tracts and Matthew joined us and he too handed out tracts and held Trevor’s sign while Trevor was preaching.

Hopefully Heaven

I got a chance to talk to the homeless guy Jason. He took a tract and I asked him what happens after we die. He said, “Hopefully Heaven.” So I asked him how we get there and he said by being good. I gently pointed out that the Bible actually says the opposite, that none of us are good. That’s why we need Jesus. Christ Jesus is our only hope and we must come to him through repentance and faith. We actually have to realize that we are not good and turn to the One who is good.

Do Not Be Deceived

Do Not Be Deceived

Some people believe some crazy things – especially when it comes to religion. If you don’t believe me, come out street witnessing with us. You’ll hear people say that we are star dust and God haters will say that ultimately nothing created everything. (How much do you have to hate God to believe this nonsense?) But sadly, others are deceived through false religions and maybe the worst of all are the people that are so deceived that they come up with their own religion. But the Bible warns us – do not be deceived.

When I say some people have made their own religion, I mean they may take some things from the Bible and add or subtract from it (and the Bible warns us not to do this). For example, it’s been said that Thomas Jefferson took out the supernatural – all the miracles of Jesus and only used the moral teachings of Jesus for Jefferson’s Bible. Now most unbelievers that we meet on the streets don’t go to that extreme, but they are making their own “god” or their own religion when they reject Jesus – the only Savior of mankind. [Read more…]

Heaven or Hell?

Heaven or Hell?

Recently Keven, Joshua and I were out witnessing. We were handing out tracts and a lot of times Joshua would say, “Are you going to Heaven or Hell?” Most people replied that they were going to Heaven. This reminded me of Frank Jenner in Sydney Australia who for 28 years would hand people a tract and ask them if they died today, would they go to Heaven or Hell? Many people were saved by the grace of God by this one man asking this question. It made some people think of their eternity who never really thought about it before. Yes, it really is that simple: Heaven or Hell? [Read more…]

From Mocking To Listening To Questioning
Ministry Update May 29, 2022

It was a real privilege Friday night to meet some Facebook friends in real life and witness together. I met Trevor, Elly and their girls and we shared the Gospel in downtown Springfield, MO. I noticed that people took tracts from the girls and sometimes the people would walk a little ways away and stop and read the tracts. Their youngest daughter was very brave. She held a sign that said judge with righteous judgment and a couple walked by walking a dog. All of a sudden the dog started barking at her, but she never flinched. But the highlight of the night was when two boys went from mocking to listening to questioning. [Read more…]

I’m Going To Hell

May 22, 2022 by dennis@seekandsavethelost.com 2 Comments

I’m Going To Hell

Ministry Update May 22, 2022

Keven, Joshua and I walked around downtown handing out tracts Friday night. Seemed like several people took tracts and we also had a lot of rejections. But a lot of times Joshua would reach out his arm to hand out a tract and say, “Are you going to Heaven or going to Hell?” The overwhelming majority said they were going to Heaven. Of course we don’t know what they are counting on to get there, so we want people to take tracts so they can read the Gospel. But Friday night Joshua had two different men say, “I’m going to Hell” and they were both proud of that fact.

Another thing Joshua said while handing out tracts is “Here’s good news for you.” Sometimes people would take the tract but other times they refused. I joked with Keven and Joshua that we need to come up with a tract that says Bad News on it and say if you don’t want the good news, here’s bad news for you. We could literally tell people the bad news that they have sinned against our Holy, Righteous God and that death and Hell await them. We could also just leave it with the bad news and then give them a phone number to call in case they change their minds and want to hear the good news after all.

Drive By Encourager

I brought a short message earlier in the night on how we all serve someone. As I was sharing the Gospel a woman drove by and said “You bet’ and followed that up with “Amen”. Sometimes we have drive by mockers, but it was nice having a drive by encourager. One young man stood near the building at the end of the parking lot listening to part of the message. Keven and Joshua handed out tracts during this time too. The three of us had a great time of fellowship Friday night. I enjoy the fellowship as much as the street witnessing.

(These updates are provided to encourage Christians to share the glorious Gospel with this lost and dying world. Christian, you may not go out street witnessing, but you can hand someone a Gospel tract. You can share your testimony with others. If you haven’t done so already, please start today.)

Savior Of The World

October 28, 2020 by dennis@seekandsavethelost.com 2 Comments

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…]
