Are Deathbed Confessions Real?

Over the past 10 years or so, I have debated with several friends over the question: Are deathbed confessions real? I must confess that I have tended to lean toward the idea that you can’t wait until the end and be saved at the last minute. I love listening to an old-time preacher named Rolfe Barnard and he used to say something along the lines that you can’t blow the smoke of your rebellion in God’s face and then have God receive you at the last minute. Some Bible verses that back up this position would be that God will not always strive with man (Genesis 6:3) and Romans 1:28 where it says that God turns some people over to a reprobate mind. You run so far, so long and so hard away from God and He allows you to continue to reprobation – basically to a point of no return. [Read more…]

What’s Your Opinion On Homosexuality?

Ministry Update January 19, 2020

I was wrapping up open-air preaching at Missouri State University on Wednesday when a student walked up and asked, “What’s your opinion on homosexuality?” My reply was, “It doesn’t matter what my opinion is. The Bible is very clear on it and it’s a sin. First Corinthians 6:9-10 covers this and it’s not just the sin of homosexuality, it covers sexual relations outside of marriage, adultery, drunkards, thieves, idolaters. Every single person on earth falls into at least one of these categories.” [Read more…]

Laughing Her Way To Hell

Ministry Update September 16, 2018

Conner and I had a great time witnessing downtown Friday night. There was a Pokémon Go event, so there were a lot of people milling around. I brought the first message and I had a couple of mockers. One guy stopped his SUV in the road to tell me that God is just a construct of our mind. I don’t know if it was right or wrong, but I told him to “go on to Hell because that’s where you want to go anyway.” I’ve heard the old-time preacher Rolfe Barnard say that and it just came out of my mouth. Then a little later a young woman walked by with her friends and she said laughingly. “I’m going to Hell and I’m so happy about it.” She may very well be laughing her way to Hell, but she won’t be laughing once she gets there.

Running in Circles

My family and I have four cats. One of them is literally crazy. I call her crazy eyes. This crazy cat actually chases her own tail. I really think that she thinks that she can catch it. You’ve probably seen a dog or a cat do this same thing. It looks funny when they run around in circles. I also remember when I was a kid several of us would spin around until we made ourselves dizzy and fell down. We would literally run around in circles and we thought it was fun. [Read more…]
