Jesus never begged sinners to come to Him. He didn’t do it. Jesus never begged one time. Not once. He always spoke truth and left it at that. He didn’t plead with unrepentant sinners to come to Him. Jesus Christ knew who was His own and who would reject Him, so He never begged sinners to receive salvation. [Read more…]
After Brian brought a message I preached after him. While I was on the box, Tim came up and asked Brian a ton of questions. I think he talked for 30 to 40 minutes. But one of his questions was why God doesn’t strike him dead when he curses God and challenges Him to kill him. He cursed God and challenged God to “smite me right now.” Since God didn’t kill him on the spot, Tim believes that proves God isn’t real. He doesn’t realize that it’s by God’s mercy alone that He doesn’t strike Tim dead this very moment. [Read more…]
Friday night Brian, Aaron and I preached downtown and it was a night full of people mocking Jesus. I brought a message from Luke 2 about the birth of Jesus, Brian preached on victory in Jesus and Aaron preached on Matthew 1, where the angel foretells the birth of Jesus and that He will save His people from their sins. We weren’t preaching Hell fire and brimstone messages, but many people still mocked Jesus. [Read more…]
Friday night Diana, Elise and I witnessed downtown. I was bringing a message and like countless times in the past, God sent a mocker by at the exact moment to emphasize a point. I was preaching about why we call people to repent and I was quoting where Jesus was telling the religious leaders that they didn’t listen to John the Baptist, but the tax collectors and harlots did. I was making the point that these sinners repented and didn’t continue in their wicked ways; that Jesus never condoned sins and two lesbians walk up at that exact moment saying “we’re lesbians.” So I reminded them again that Jesus never condoned sin; not homosexuality and not lesbianism.

Are you a Christian? Have you truly turned from your sins and turned to Jesus? Or did you come to Jesus for a better life? Did you come to Jesus for your best life now? Did you come to Jesus to gain something? Is it all about you? Have you listened to t.v. preachers or Christian music where all they talk about is you and how wonderful you are? I ask you these questions because the Bible clearly tells us to test the prophets. [Read more…]
“False, false, false.” “You are not God.” “Jesus didn’t write the Bible.” Yes, a couple Friday night actually chanted these things while I was preaching. Just to clear the record, I never said Jesus wrote the Bible, I said Jesus confirmed the Bible. Jesus constantly quoted the Old Testament. I obviously never claimed to be God. But their greatest sin was chanting false, false, false while I was reading the Bible. They even chanted this when I quoted John 3:16! [Read more…]
Brain, Aaron and I witnessed at MSU last Wednesday. While I brought a message, two students at different times, yelled f you as they walked by. I pointed out that we are not to let any filthy communication proceed out of our mouth. After Brian pleaded with students for a while, he handed me a Gospel of John. I looked at it and handed it back to him, but he told me to keep it. I handed out tracts while Aaron preached and I kept the Gospel of John in my hand. [Read more…]
We had a fairly quiet night Friday night witnessing downtown. The crowd was very small, but a lot foot traffic moved around us the whole time Aaron, Erica, Diana, Elise, Serenity and I were witnessing. We sang a few hymns to start the night, then I brought a message Do You Have Peace With God? Toward the end of my message a young man wearing a Halloween mask tried to interrupt me. I told him that I was about finished then I’d be happy to talk to him. He tried several more times to interrupt me, but I finished it. The earth shattering thing he had to say was to complain that I was reading my message. He said I needed to speak from my heart and then he said “God sent me to test you.” [Read more…]
No this isn’t a State Farm commercial, it’s an update from Friday night. Aaron, Erica, Diana, Elise and I witnessed downtown. Overall it was a much quieter night than the previous weekend. We had a couple of neighbors in the apartments in the old Heers building come over and complain about the noise of our amplifier. [Read more…]
Jesus told His disciples that He was going to suffer, die and rise from the grave (Mark 8:31). Our Lord told them that He is the Messiah, that He is the Savior. He also told them that He would send the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide them. [Read more…]
