Deaf Ears

Ministry Update September 23, 2018

Last week was an encouraging, you might even say fun week of evangelizing. There were several conversations, I handed out Gospel tracts and invited people to my church. This Wednesday at MSU was not that way. One student sat and listened to part of the message, but I also had two mockers. One mouthed off something and kept walking (I call these student’s drive-by mockers) and the other mocker didn’t say a single word. He just took several pictures from different angles, but that was it. Sadly, the majority just walked by and appeared apathetic. It was one of those days where it appeared the message of the Gospel fell on deaf ears.  [Read more…]

Laughing Her Way To Hell

Ministry Update September 16, 2018

Conner and I had a great time witnessing downtown Friday night. There was a Pokémon Go event, so there were a lot of people milling around. I brought the first message and I had a couple of mockers. One guy stopped his SUV in the road to tell me that God is just a construct of our mind. I don’t know if it was right or wrong, but I told him to “go on to Hell because that’s where you want to go anyway.” I’ve heard the old-time preacher Rolfe Barnard say that and it just came out of my mouth. Then a little later a young woman walked by with her friends and she said laughingly. “I’m going to Hell and I’m so happy about it.” She may very well be laughing her way to Hell, but she won’t be laughing once she gets there.  [Read more…]

Sin Means To Miss The Mark

Ministry Update September 9, 2018

On Wednesday at Missouri State University I couldn’t get a permit for my usual spot. So I open-air preached at Strong Hall. I like Strong Hall, it was the first spot I witnessed at when I started witnessing at MSU around seven years ago. Toward the end of the message, a young woman stopped to listen and then she came over to talk afterwards. She studies Hebrew at the university and she said the Greek word for sin means to miss the mark. To that I said a hearty Amen!   [Read more…]

The Coming Day

My oldest daughter is getting married in a couple of months. She’s all excited and her fiancé is excited too. When we talk about the coming day, the big day, we all know which day we are talking about. We are looking forward to the coming day, the wedding day.  [Read more…]

True Love

Last week a student handed me a note telling me that my method of witnessing is ineffective and actually does harm to the mission of Christians at MSU. She said Jesus declared that love is the greatest commandment and that we are called to love all, especially sinners. So is loving people in their sins really true love? Is it true love to validate people in their sinful lifestyles? Is it really loving people to tell them peace, peace when they have no peace?  [Read more…]

Your Worldview Is Illogical

Your Worldview Is Illogical

If you believe in evolution, if you are an atheist, then your worldview is illogical. That’s right, I’m calling you out on your worldview. If you really believe that we evolved from nothing, that nothing created everything, your worldview is illogical. It makes no sense. Never in your life have seen something create itself out of nothing. This is illogical and intelligent students attending a university like Missouri State University should know better, no matter what atheistic professors are telling you.  [Read more…]

I Don’t Know

Last Friday Jeff was open-air preaching and he engaged several people in conversation as they walked by. One question he liked to ask was: Where will you go if you die tonight? One guy said that he’d probably go to Hell and he thinks it will be a wonderful place. (Obviously he hasn’t read how the Bible describes Hell. There are no parties there, just pain and suffering. Weeping and gnashing of teeth). But when Jeff asked a couple of young women where they think they will go, both answered “I don’t know.”  [Read more…]

Does Good Deed Mean You Are A Good Person?

Ministry Update March 18, 2018

A couple were standing a few feet away from me while I was getting ready to open-air preach and I was waiting on Thomas. The woman wanted to go back and get her jacket. He said their friends were about to reach them, so she didn’t have time to get it. Then he took off his jacket and gave it to her. She kept saying no, but then she relented. I had some Are You A Good Person Tracts so I walked over to the guy and said that was a good deed that you did giving her your jacket, but are you a good person? To which he replied that he didn’t know about that. Then I handed him the tract and suggested that he check it out and see if he is a good person. About that time their friends showed up and they went on their way.  [Read more…]

Great Is The Lord And Greatly To Be Praised

Great Is The Lord And Greatly To Be Praised

Have you ever notice how people throw around the word great? This team is the greatest of all time. Many people consider Michael Jordan one of the greatest basketball players of all time. In 2015, Adrian Peters called himself the Michael Jordan of football. Of course, Muhammad Ali used to call himself the greatest boxer of all time. Many people throw around the word great. But there is truly one great and that is the Lord. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.  [Read more…]

Why Do I Talk About Death And Hell So Much?

Why Do I Talk About Death And Hell So Much?

Last week a student came up to me while I was open-air preaching and he self-identified as a gay atheist and told me that there is nothing that I can say to change his mind. But he still asked the question: Why do you talk about death and Hell so much? This is actually a very good question. Why do I talk about death and Hell so much when I’m street witnessing?  [Read more…]
