Only God Can Judge Me

Ministry Update July 26, 2020

Toward the end of the message on Friday night a guy was yelling from behind me, walking down the sidewalk. As I finished up, he reached the corner I was at and he said, “Judge not lest ye be judged. Only God can judge me.” Instead of stopping and having a real conversation he, continued across the street. So I affirmed that only God can judge him and that God will judge him one day. Is he ready for Judgment Day? I also pointed out that I was merely quoting Scripture, so if he felt judged, maybe God was the one convicting him. [Read more…]

Do You Know That You Are A Sinner?

Do You Know That You Are A Sinner?

Do you know that you are a sinner? We have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). You and I are sinners. We have all rebelled against God. Each and every one of us at one time or another has said No to God and Yes to our ourselves. (Unbelievers say No to God all the time because they always do exactly what they want to do). But none of us have put God first all of our lives. None of us are righteous. We are all sinful creatures. Again, I ask the question, do you know that you are a sinner? [Read more…]

No One’s Listening To You

Student Yells “No One’s Listening To You”

No One’s Listening To You

Ministry Update November 17, 2019

A student turned the corner in front of me on Wednesday at MSU and yelled, “No one’s listening to you.” I ignored him, so he turned around and yelled it again and this time I ignored him as well. This comment is nothing new. Mockers love to discourage the Gospel going forth. But even if they are right and “no one is listening” the Gospel is still going forth. God’s word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Those whose hearts are being softened by the Lord are being softened and those whose hearts are being hardened are being hardened. Jesus Christ is glorified either way. Of course my hope and prayer is that lost souls will be saved, that they will repent and trust Jesus. [Read more…]

Not A Sheep Of Society

Ministry Update October 13, 2019

“Are you a follower of Jesus? Do you hear His voice? Jesus said My Sheep hear My voice? Are you one of His sheep?” I asked these questions at Missouri State University on Wednesday. A young lady answered, “Yes, I’m not a sheep of society.” I said Amen to her being a follower of Jesus, but told her that I didn’t want her to be a sheep of society. I’m pleading for students to be sheep of Jesus. Again, Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice. I thought the student’s response was kind of strange, but that’s what she said. [Read more…]

Bring It On

Recently a student at Missouri State University said, “God is not real.” There’s nothing new or special about that, unfortunately, students routinely say this. I replied back that only a fool says there is no God (Psalm 14:1). I also pointed out to the young man that one day he will stand before this very God that he says isn’t real. The student then turned around, flipped me off and yelled, “Bring it on!.” [Read more…]

I Knew You

God told the prophet Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5). What an amazing sentence. Almighty God, the great Creator of the universe told Jeremiah that He knew Jeremiah BEFORE God formed him in his mother’s womb. What a wonderful verse in the Bible.

No Excuses

There will be no excuses on Judgment Day and make no mistake, there is a day of judgment that is coming. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27). A day of reckoning is coming for all unrepentant sinners and unbelief, ignorance, outright rejection or rebellion will be no excuse. There will be absolutely no excuses on that great and terrible day of the Lord. [Read more…]

Is Everyone Really Awesome?

Ministry Update April 28, 2019

Kelly, Conner and I witnessed downtown Friday night and the couple with signs were back. Just like before, they held signs that read, “You Are Wonderful” and “You Are Awesome.” Then on the ground between them, they had a sign that said, “Acceptance Not Judgment.” Since that sign was obviously directed toward us, I wonder if that means we aren’t awesome after all? As people walked past, the couple yelled, “You Are Wonderful” and “You Are Awesome.” Guess what? Most people that they said this to, repeated the same words back to the couple. I’m sure they went home feeling really good about themselves. But is true? Are you awesome? Are you wonderful? Is everyone really awesome? [Read more…]

Really Long Time

Do you remember when you were a kid and it was about a week before your birthday or a week before Christmas, how that week seemed like a really long time? Do you remember how time seemed to drag on forever? Or maybe you are walking by today and you are in your junior or senior year of college and you remember how four years, maybe five seemed like a really long time for you to get through college?

Cars Nearly Crash

We Are Going To Die

Ministry Update November 18, 2018

Pastor Joshua and I witnessed downtown Friday night. Pastor Joshua quoted Hebrews 9:27 and was just saying “we are going to die” when two cars nearly collided right in front of us. They came really close to having a bad wreck while around five people were walking behind one of the cars. Pastor Joshua then said, “You may die in a car wreck.”  It was so scary that when the people crossed the street, one guy bent over with his hands on his knees and said that he was scared to death. It was a scary moment, but oh what a powerful example of how my life and your life can end at any moment. It really drove home the point that life is short and people need to get right with God. Unbelievers need to repent and trust Jesus before it’s too late.  [Read more…]
