We are not used car salesmen. My friends and I are not used car salesmen. We are not running around trying to strong arm you into signing on the dotted line. There are no sales quotas associated with our witnessing. Our goal is not to see how many people we can get to repeat a prayer and ask Jesus into their heart. We are not ringing a bell every time someone says a prayer. [Read more…]
I drove by a church in Springfield the other day and their sign by the road said “Love is the only doctrine of this church.” Now that sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Love is the only doctrine. Let’s all just love everybody. It really sounds wonderful, but is it biblical? [Read more…]
We were very blessed to have ten of us out witnessing Friday night. We sang hymns to start the night and then four of us brought messages, including Steven with his first message on the box. He’s quotes Bible verses in the past, but Friday night he quoted three Scripture verses and expounded on them. Praise God! [Read more…]
Last week a student at MSU yelled as he walked by me “Stop giving Christians a bad name.” I don’t know if the young man is a professing Christian or maybe an atheist that grew up in a Christian home, but I’ve been thinking about his comment. I wonder if he really knows what giving Christians a bad name really looks like? [Read more…]
Friday night was full of noise! Noise! Noise! No, I’m not talking about our little 37 watt amplifiers. I’m talking about the motorcyclists revving their engines and cranking their stereo’s up. Several cars and trucks revved their engines too. It was very noisy downtown. I understand that lost people don’t like hearing the Gospel. The Bible says it is foolishness to those who are perishing. But a lot of this animosity was directed toward us while we were singing hymns. We also heard many hail Satan’s and other derogatory comments. [Read more…]
I want to talk about the second Adam in the Bible today, but I really should tell you a little about the first Adam, first. It begins with God. Genesis 1:1 says In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Then Genesis 1:26-28 states: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

It’s good to be back home and out witnessing again in downtown Springfield, MO. Aaron and I missed the previous two Fridays and we thank Kelly for coming out both those nights. We were back in our usual witnessing spot and our fellow neighbors didn’t let us down. Several Hail Satan’s were shouted out by people walking by, motorcyclists tried to drown out the preaching and singing with their loud stereos and some people stated that we weren’t witnessing the right way. But we had some encouragers too. [Read more…]
Brad Super Bowl Sunday
This update is about 100 evangelists from around the country converging on Houston, Texas for Super Bowl weekend and how God answered five months of prayers for the outreach. We believe three people got saved, one person was delivered out of a cult, thousands of Gospel tracts were handed out, several Bibles were handed out and many one to one conversations took place. [Read more…]
“Don’t touch me!” the drunk screamed at me Friday night. The ironic part was that he mumbled that he should knock me off the box right before he got to me and then he did try to knock me off. As I was falling backwards I put my forearm out to keep him from hitting me. The drunk then went ballistic. First cussing me out and then he got right in Aaron’s face, yelling and cussing him out. Then Justin tried to talk to the guy, but he just yelled and cussed him out too. [Read more…]
When you read the Holy Bible, you see God from beginning to end. This shouldn’t be surprising since the Bible is God’s word. 2 Timothy 3:16 says: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. All Scripture, the entire Bible is inspired by God, not just the red letters. Our Father God wrote the Bible through the Holy Spirit that gave men the words God wanted them to write. [Read more…]
