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…]

What Day Was Jesus Born On?

Ministry Update May 19 2019

Pastor Joshua, Kelly, Conner and I had a great time witnessing Friday night where there were some interesting conversations. All four of us did open-air preaching. Gospel tracts and New Testaments were handed out. We always have a great time visiting. But the short conversation that ended the night was a guy that was concerned about the actual day of Jesus’ birth. He kept asking us, “What day was Jesus born on?” [Read more…]

Smooth Super Bowl Outreach 2019

Ministry Update February 10, 2019

I typically name the Super Bowl Outreaches when I write up the ministry updates, but I struggled with the name this year. Last year it was so cold in Minnesota, that Super Cold Super Bowl Outreach seemed a no-brainer. Six years ago in New Orleans we heard someone say “Jesus is ruining New Orleans” so how could I resist a title like that? But this year I had trouble thinking of the right name until I flew back home on Monday from Atlanta, the day after the Super Bowl. Reflecting back over the three days of witnessing, I remembered many conversations with my team leader Andy on how smooth this year’s outreach was going. That’s it! Smooth Super Bowl Outreach 2019 and we thank God that it was so.  [Read more…]

Stop Giving Christians A Bad Name

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…]

Mocking Jesus

Ministry Update December 25, 2016

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…]

Crazy Drunk Demonic or Why Choose

Ministry Update July 3, 2016

Drunk, Crazy, Demonic or Why Choose?

I joked with my friends after we finished witnessing Friday night that “we got our money’s worth tonight.” We encountered several people that were drunk,crazy,  demonic or why choose (in other words all of the above). It was a crazy night of witnessing.  [Read more…]
