Usual Mockers And Wicked Mockers

Usual Mockers and Wicked Mockers

Ministry Update November 3, 2019

There were a lot of people downtown Friday night. The country singer Frank Foster had a concert at the Gillioz Theatre and it was also Art Walk. I handed out New Testaments and brought a message. Lifting up Jesus in the open-air typically draws mockers. In fact, you just pretty well expect to have some mockers. But this Friday night, there were the usual mockers and wicked mockers.

Thumbs Down Woman

Thumbs Down Man

Couple Flipping Me Off

Several mockers were just the usual type of mockers. In fact, I can’t really recall anything significant that any of them said. They just yelled or made noises as they passed by. The wicked mockers started off just giving a thumbs-down. The woman did so first, then the man that was with her followed suit. Next, they flipped me off. Then they moved on to making sexually suggestive gestures. I just kept pleading with people to repent and trust Jesus and this couple just kept ramping it up until they reached their car and drove off.

Highlight Of The Night

But the highlight of the night was Nicholas. He walked up to me when I was first handing out New Testaments and asked if I was part of the “Go Team?” I told him no and that I didn’t know what the Go Team was. He then told me that they are part of Calvary Chapel. Then I told him, “Yes, I now know who you are talking about. They hand out water downtown and get into Gospel conversations with people”.

I hadn’t seen them this Friday night, so I suggested that he walk to the square and see if his friends are there. I told him that they typically pass by me when they come out and they usually walk toward the square. Later on while I was open-air preaching, Nicholas came back by and asked if he could witness with me. I told him sure thing.

Nicholas Boldly Sharing The Gospel

So this bold brother started asking people as they walked by if they had a Bible. Many said, yes, so then he asked them if they read the Bible. Not only that, he asked them if they listen to the Bible. More than once, he gave the good person test. About the time I was finishing up my message, his friends showed up, so he joined them, heading off toward the square. But it was quite encouraging to meet such a bold brother in Christ who was out sharing the Gospel.

Student Says, “I Call God The Universe”

I Call God The Universe

It really wasn’t raining on Wednesday at MSU, but it was misting and the wind was cold. It was 38 degrees and felt colder. Because of the cold weather, I didn’t expect much interaction and didn’t get much. One student walked by and said, “I call God the Universe”. It’s unfortunate the young man missed the first part of the message because I addressed how some people worship the created rather than the Creator. I just shared with him that his opinion isn’t important.

What’s important is what the Bible says and the Bible tells us that God made us to glorify Him, not the created, not the universe. Psalm 19:1 says: The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. It’s young people like the young man that worships the universe that compels me to share the Gospel at MSU and other places. God call all people everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30-31). We are to repent and trust the one true Savior – Jesus Christ the Lord.

Polite Mocker “Are You Going To Answer My Question?”

Are You Going To Answer My Question?

Then the polite mocker walked by and asked, “Did you ever answer my question?” “Are you going to answer my question?” Then he ended with “I guess you aren’t going to answer my question.” He had one thing correct, I wasn’t going to answer him and I didn’t. The polite mocker didn’t ask his question this week, but I assume he was referring to the question he asked last week which was, “You never learn do you?” Maybe I do learn after all. I have learned that it is futile to argue with this guy whose heart is so hardened. I pray that God will save him, but I see no reason to continue casting pearls before swine (Mathew 7:6) when it comes to this particular mocker.

I Will Own It Like A Boss!

I Will Own It Like A Boss!
Ministry Update September 29, 2019

The week before, I witnessed at MU with some friends in Columbia, MO and we had some really obnoxious mockers. So frankly, I was looking forward to witnessing at my usual spot at MSU this week. Yes, I typically have mockers, but not as bad as at MU. Well the students and a worker were wound up this week. I was trying to get the students to see that we have all sinned against God and that Jesus is the only Savior, so I quoted the 10 Commandments. Right after that, I said, “What will you do with your sins on Judgment Day?” A student was already mocking as he walked by, acting like he was kicking dirt at me and other gestures and loudly said, “I will own it like a boss!” [Read more…]

I’m Riding Her Shirttails To Heaven

I’m Riding Her Shirttails To Heaven

Ministry Update September 8, 2019

Friday night was a little bit strange. Conner had a conversation with Louis who was out promoting a Christian play at JQH later this month. We really don’t know anything about it. But mainly we had lots of no’s to the offer of Gospel tracts and New Testaments. We also had several drive-by and walk-by mockers as well as others who said little quips but wouldn’t stop and talk; instead they just said something and kept walking. One couple passed by me and she took a New Testament and he refused one. Then he turned around as he kept walking backwards and said, “I’m riding her shirttails to Heaven.” [Read more…]

Two Encouragers And Two Mockers

Couple Of Encouragers And A Couple Of Mockers

Ministry Update July 16, 2019

Friday night I had a couple of encouragers and a couple of mockers. A young man from Hawaii came up and encouraged me before I even brought a message. I was handing out New Testaments at the time and he took one as well as a young Muslim woman. Then I brought a message and didn’t use the amplifier. One driver revved his engine while stopped at the stop sign, trying to drown out the Gospel. Then a couple came by riding bicycles and they stopped near me. They had a vicious looking dog, and the man told me that I better be careful before I get back up on the box using the bullhorn, because his dog wouldn’t like it. I didn’t bother telling him that I wasn’t using a bullhorn. I just told him to have a good night. [Read more…]

Hail The Goddess

Woman Yelling “Hail The Goddess”

Hail The Goddess

Ministry Update June 30, 2019

Kelly and I witnessed downtown Friday night and it was pretty quiet most of the night. We both brought messages, but Kelly brought out the mockers. He preached about Hell, how Jesus talked about Hell more than anyone else in the Bible and sadly how many churches don’t preach on Hell. Kelly was about half way through his message when two women walked by and one turned around and yelled, “Hail the goddess!” He warned her that Jesus is the only Savior, but she just kept mouthing off as she continued walking away. About that time, I was offering New Testaments to a couple with a young son, but they said they didn’t need one. Then the woman thanked us for being out here and sharing the Gospel.

Mocker Asking Kelly If He’s Ever Bought Holy Water

A little later a couple of guys were walking by across the street and the one yelled, “Have you ever bought any Holy Water?” Kelly told him no. Then the guy laughed and mouthed off something we couldn’t hear. Kelly told him that he shouldn’t be mocking someone preaching the Gospel and encouraged the guy to come over and get a Bible. The guy said he had one already in his backpack, to which Kelly replied, “If you were really a believer, you would not mock a man of God.” We handed out a dozen New Testaments and some Gospel tracts. One young man stopped his bicycle when I offered him a New Testament and he promptly put it in a holder that he had attached to his bike. May God bless the messages, the New Testaments and the Gospel tracts.

Mockers Prove The Bible Right Yet Again

Ministry Update June 23, 2019

Erica and I witnessed downtown Friday night and it never ceases to amaze me, but mockers prove the Bible right yet again. Time and time again, mockers will walk by and mock and do exactly what the Bible says. Friday night was no exception. God’s word is a savor of life to those who are saved and it is a savor of death to those who are perishing. I love Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and I love God’s Holy Bible and how God proves His word is true through those who mock Him. [Read more…]

I Gotta Stop With The Devils Lettuce

Ministry Update April 7, 2019

With these updates, many times I say what a blessed night we had witnessing downtown, and Friday night was no exception. I say this frequently because it is true. Every night is different and we never know what we are going to see and hear. Friday night we were blessed with several encouragers, several mockers and a great conversation at the end. The best line of the night was “I gotta stop with the devil’s lettuce.” [Read more…]

Cold But Not Too Cold For Mockers

Cold But Not Too Cold For Mockers

Ministry Update February 11, 2018

It was 24 degrees Friday night and the wind chill made it even colder. So I have to admit, that I only lasted about 30 minutes witnessing. It was cold but not too cold for mockers. Several people were out walking around. One guy listened to part of the message for a short time. While I was bringing a message, a car pulled up right in front of me. Two guys hopped out and one of them said something before he jumped on top of the trunk of a car parked near me. But his friend started the car up, so the other guy jumped into the car before he drove off. Right toward the end of my message, four people crossed the street and one woman mocked, but I really couldn’t hear what she said.

Would You Like A Cup of Coffee?

It wasn’t as cold on Wednesday at Missouri State University, but it was cold, windy and rainy. It rained right up until I started witnessing. There were a couple of mockers that day and the man who mocked me last time I was there smiled like he was going to say something as he walked by, but turned out that he didn’t. The highlight of the time on campus was a student that walked up to me and said, “God bless” and asked, “Would you like a cup of coffee?” I told him no thanks and said “God bless” back to him. I’m always grateful for people who encourage open-air preaching.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

Ministry Update December 30, 2018

There were several mockers while I witnessed Christmas Eve in front of Hobby Lobby. One guy mouthed off the whole time he turned the corner at the stoplight. Others mouthed off as they drove by or honked their horn with disapproval. Frankly, this cracked me up a little bit. Wouldn’t you think that Christmas eve, the day before we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ would be the perfect time to tell about His birth, sinless life, sacrificial death and salvation that only He provides? Obviously, not everyone agreed with my thinking. But the mocker that topped them all was the young man with a carload of young people asking me “Do you have marijuana to sell?”  [Read more…]

Still Had Mockers On A Slow Night

Ministry Update December 23, 2018

Pastor Joshua, Conner and I witnessed downtown Friday night and it was a really slow night. We suspected it would be when we pulled up and the parking lot we normally park in (or at least try to park in most Friday nights) was nearly empty. It turned out to be a slow as we suspected. In fact it was so slow, that Conner walked around the block by the square just to see if anything else was going on. Since there wasn’t, he came back to our normal spot. But we still had mockers on a slow night.  [Read more…]
