Homeless Guy Reading A New Testament

Didn’t Preach

Ministry Update August 9, 2020

I didn’t preach on Friday night even though I had prepared a message. My heart just wasn’t right with God and with others. I would have been a hypocrite if I had open-air preached, so instead, I handed out New Testaments. The first lady I handed one to in the parking lot took one and the second person looked homeless, but he gladly took one too. A few minutes later he could be seen reading the New Testament. A couple I know told me they already had Bibles and other people said the same thing. One gentleman thanked me for handing out Bibles.

Other people took them throughout the night while I walked around downtown. One guy refused one, but the woman that was with him took one. (I’m always glad when this happens because many times when the first person says no, the other people with them also say no. I guess it’s just human nature). May God bless the New Testaments and may He prompt people to read them and may the Lord save lost souls.

Why The Update – I Know It’s a Sin

Why the update I know it’s a sin? Because that’s what the young man admitted to me. Several of us were witnessing downtown on a Friday night in November 2016. I started talking to a young man named Cody while he waited on his friend who was talking to Erica. Cody appeared to be very intoxicated, so I asked him if he’d been drinking and he said that he had been. When I asked him if he realized that getting drunk was sinning against God, he admitted, “I know it’s a sin.” You need to realize that most people won’t admit their sinning when confronted with their sins. Typically, people come back with comments like “everybody does it” or “it’s no big deal” or “it’s human nature or just being human.” So it’s actually refreshing when someone actually admits their sin.
