Poetry Reading
Ministry Update June 28, 2020

I’ve seen a lot of strange things while out street witnessing over the past 10 years, but I’ve never seen a poetry reading until last Friday night. That’s right, I witnessed poetry reading on a street corner. This wasn’t from some random person running up to us and reading poetry and it wasn’t just any old poem. No, my friend Kelly read a poem by Hosanna Wong called I Have A New Name.  It is a beautiful, powerful poem and Kelly was even choked up as he read it. People could hear the sincerity and love in his voice as he read this wonderful poem about believers having a new name in Christ.   [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…]

We’re All Going To Die!

We’re All Going To Die!

We’re all going to die! We’re all going to die! Yes, people are panicked over Covid-19 or the coronavirus. People are afraid of dying. All of this panicking has caused a shortage of hand sanitizer toilet paper and milk. Obviously, people need to quit hoarding necessary items and we all need to just shop like normal. Of course we all need to use necessary precautions and wash our hands and limit our exposure to others. But should we all be panicked? Should we all be running around screaming “We’re all going to die! We’re all going to die!”? [Read more…]

Kirk Says Kobe Bryant Formed And Saved By His Catholic Faith

On Sunday, January 26, 2020, after the sad news went out that Kobe Bryant and his daughter were among those who died in the helicopter crash, many people posted on social media about their deaths. One of the posts I read was by Charlie Kirk. I think Charlie Kirk does a great job representing his political party and I appreciate his common sense approach to life. But I was greatly disappointed in his post concerning Kobe Bryant’s death. Kirk says Kobe Bryant formed and saved by his Catholic faith. [Read more…]

Jimmy Listened To The Whole Message

This Is Very Edifying
Ministry Update December 29, 2019

Friday night witnessing downtown, I had encouragers, mockers and a couple of homeless people threaten me. The highlight of the night was Jimmy. He’s a homeless guy that listened to the whole message. When he first walked up, I said, “Do you have a question?” He replied, “No, I just want to listen.” So I walked over and talked to him afterwards and he said, “This is very edifying. This is just what I needed tonight.” [Read more…]

The Way Of All The Earth

Moses led the Israelites out Egypt, but he died and did not enter into the promised land of Canaan. He died because he sinned while leading the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. Moses disobeyed God’s direct order, so he died for his sin and couldn’t enter into Canaan. But Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan and God delivered the Canaanites into his hand. When Joshua was 110 years old, he died. But before he died, he said, “I am going the way of all the earth.” [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…]

I Will Own It Like A Boss!

I Will Own It Like A Boss!
Ministry Update September 29, 2019

The week before, I witnessed at MU with some friends in Columbia, MO and we had some really obnoxious mockers. So frankly, I was looking forward to witnessing at my usual spot at MSU this week. Yes, I typically have mockers, but not as bad as at MU. Well the students and a worker were wound up this week. I was trying to get the students to see that we have all sinned against God and that Jesus is the only Savior, so I quoted the 10 Commandments. Right after that, I said, “What will you do with your sins on Judgment Day?” A student was already mocking as he walked by, acting like he was kicking dirt at me and other gestures and loudly said, “I will own it like a boss!” [Read more…]

Bring It On

Recently a student at Missouri State University said, “God is not real.” There’s nothing new or special about that, unfortunately, students routinely say this. I replied back that only a fool says there is no God (Psalm 14:1). I also pointed out to the young man that one day he will stand before this very God that he says isn’t real. The student then turned around, flipped me off and yelled, “Bring it on!.” [Read more…]

No Safe Places In Hell

No Safe Places In Hell

Every now and then a student at Missouri State University will say they don’t feel safe while I’m open-air preaching. They want to find a safe place. I’m sorry that some young people get “triggered” when hearing God’s truth, but I really don’t know what’s going to happen to this generation. You can’t call time out in real life and say, “I need to go to my safe place.” This isn’t reality. The really sad reality is there are no safe places in Hell. [Read more…]
