On the front page of the Opinion page of the New York Times on May 31, 2019, there was an article by Amber Scorah titled: Surviving The Death Of My Son After The Death Of My Faith. It’s a heart-breaking story of a baby boy that died at only four months old. Amber Scorah doesn’t believe in God, so she has no hope. No hope of ever seeing her child again. She has no hope because she is an Atheist and Atheism offers no hope. [Read more…]
On Monday August 28, 2017, I witnessed at the University of Missouri with Jeremy, his brother Joshua and his son Joseph. We handed out tracts and the three of us guys brought open-air messages. While I was handing out tracts, one student walked up to me and looked at the Gospel tract in my hand and asked “Is that the weed card or the God card?” I replied, “the God card” to which he said naw, he wasn’t interested. He walked over to the guy gathering marijuana signatures for a petition to get marijuana on the ballot in November. So, I yelled after the student that weed can’t save you. Only Jesus saves.

What is the work of God? Notice, I didn’t say the works of God. Many of us can name various works of God; such as when God made the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1) or when God made us human beings (Genesis 1:26-27). God made the angels and Hell for the devil and the fallen angels (even though Hell hath enlarged itself and people foolishly fall into it by dying in their sins – Isaiah 5:14). We can think of many works of God, but what is the singular work of God? [Read more…]
Friday night December 18, 2015 Kelly was preaching on the box when a young man walked up and wanted to know why we were doing this. I handed him a tract and explained that we are out calling sinners to repent and trust Jesus. I could tell he’d been drinking even though he had a breath mint trying to cover it up. I asked him if he had repented and put his faith in Christ. Then he said that’s he’s bent over backwards begging God to take alcohol away from him. [Read more…]
Rich, Aaron and I joined some other evangelists from around the country the first of May and we witnessed at the Kentucky Derby. Many people went into Churchill Downs drunk and many, many more left the place totally drunk. But when we tried to get them to see their sinfulness and God’s Holiness we would ask them if they had been drinking and instead of admitting it, a lot of them said, no I’m Catholic. [Read more…]
Have you ever seen a two headed coin? I knew a guy years ago that had one. He used to like to say “I’ll flip you for it” and he would always call heads. He wasn’t malicious with it and he didn’t take your money, he just thought it was fun to mess with people. Most people couldn’t figure out how he always won. [Read more…]
You are out driving on a country road and you come upon a bad accident. I’m alone in my car and I’ve run off the road where I hit a tree and a branch has impaled me. You are the first one to come upon the accident. You realize that an ambulance will never get to me in time. I’m bleeding badly and you estimate from my wound that I have three minutes to live. What do you say to me? [Read more…]
