Friday night Polly and I went witnessing downtown. Another group was at our usual corner, so my plan was to go one block closer to the square at South and McDaniel. We got there before 8 pm and it was busy. This was the first Friday in August and Artwalk. So, several tracts were handed out on the corner. Unfortunately, the band that was playing on the square was too loud for me to preach at this corner. [Read more…]
It’s hard to describe Friday night. We had the usual mockers saying hail Satan, f you, you’re judging me, motorcyclist and drivers revving engines to drown us out as well as a parked motorcyclist blaring his music. We also had the guy back that mooned us – again and a group of girls started dancing together close to where we were witnessing. But praise God there were around 15 to 17 of us witnessing and the preachers kept preaching! [Read more…]
We heard four people yell hail Satan, had a flasher, a stool kicker and a reprobate mind on Friday night. Kelly started us off and he preached from Romans 1 when four different people yelled “Hail Satan” while he was preaching. He also received the typical calls “judge not lest ye be judged.” The funniest part about that was he actually addressed this right at the beginning of his message. One of the first things he said was if you feel judged tonight, we are not the ones judging you. If you feel like you are being judged it will be because of God’s word. It didn’t stop several of them from getting upset. [Read more…]
I was the first one of our group on the square Friday night and two young people started talking to me. The young woman was asking spiritual questions, but the young man kept making vile and crude remarks. He was so bad she actually pulled him away and walked on. What a way to start the night and really hadn’t even started yet. But that’s how the night went; we had mockers from beginning to end. [Read more…]
Before I start on the update: Happy Resurrection Sunday! (Matthew 28:6) May those who are born again never take for granted our great salvation found in Christ alone. He is risen! And those of us who have repented and put our trust in Jesus will worship Him in Heaven for all of eternity! Praise God; Hallelujah! [Read more…]
Aaron and I witnessed at MSU on Wednesday February 10, 2016. It was a really encouraging day. I went first and two students came up while I was preaching and they were grinning from ear to ear, one of them shook my hand and thanked me for sharing the Gospel. Then later on, a student walked up near me, he didn’t stop, but as he walked by he said “keep going.” [Read more…]
Sometimes we laugh at things that are funny. Sometimes we laugh when it is appropriate and sometimes we laugh when it isn’t. I’ve laughed sometimes at church and even at funerals (when the preacher or speaker said something funny that the deceased said or did). But other times we laugh when it isn’t appropriate. Sometimes I laugh when I’m nervous – and it’s at times when I shouldn’t laugh. Do you ever laugh when it’s inappropriate? Do you ever laugh when you shouldn’t? Are you laughing inappropriately tonight? Are you laughing at God tonight?
