Blessed More Ways Than One

Ministry Update June 10, 2018

Friday night it was a real blessing to have Rich join Kelly, Conner and I witnessing downtown. Rich and his family have been living in China for nearly three years and they just got into Springfield on Wednesday and I’m sure he was still jet lagged. Now that I think of it, Rich witnessed with Kelly and I at MSU just a few days before he left for China in August 2015. So he came back and joined us the same he joined us before he left. But Friday night we were blessed more ways than one.  [Read more…]

Does Good Deed Mean You Are A Good Person?

Ministry Update March 18, 2018

A couple were standing a few feet away from me while I was getting ready to open-air preach and I was waiting on Thomas. The woman wanted to go back and get her jacket. He said their friends were about to reach them, so she didn’t have time to get it. Then he took off his jacket and gave it to her. She kept saying no, but then she relented. I had some Are You A Good Person Tracts so I walked over to the guy and said that was a good deed that you did giving her your jacket, but are you a good person? To which he replied that he didn’t know about that. Then I handed him the tract and suggested that he check it out and see if he is a good person. About that time their friends showed up and they went on their way.  [Read more…]

Pro-Satan and Anti-God

Ministry Update December 31, 2017

Are you pro-Satan and anti-God? Of course not you say? Well, are you pro-choice, pro-abortion? If so, then you are pro-Satan. Even if this makes you mad, please keep reading and I will show you biblically how being pro-abortion makes you pro-Satan and anti-God. It’s a sobering thought to think that you are against God.  [Read more…]

Not A Very Good Speaker

Not A Very Good Speaker

Last week a guy commented on a post for Seek and Save the Lost. He stated that God should not have put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden. I tried to explain to the guy that he was basically committing the same sin that Satan committed when he got kicked out of Heaven. I suggested that he repent and put his trust in Jesus. To which this guy replied that his relationship with Jesus was just fine, that I’m “not a very good speaker” and that I should leave the women at Planned Parenthood alone.  [Read more…]

Queer Atheist

Ministry Update 9/24/17

Yes the name of this update is Queer Atheist. Before you get all bent out of shape and start calling me a bigot or a hater, you need to understand that I’m merely using the exact words the young woman called herself. I met her at MSU last Wednesday and she identified herself as a queer atheist. So is it wrong for me to state the preferred pronoun that she called herself? I don’t think so.  [Read more…]

Welcome Students

Ministry Update August 27, 2017

On Wednesday August 23, 2017 I witnessed at MSU during the lunch hour. It was the students first week of school for the fall semester. It was a pleasure to say “welcome students” to those new to Missouri State University and to welcome back the returning students. I tied the message to the parable Jesus told about the king inviting people to the wedding in Matthew 22:1-14 and how many rejected the invitation. My plea was that they wouldn’t reject the invitation to repent and surrender their lives to Jesus Christ the Lord.

Double Header

Ministry Update 8/20/17

Friday night it was a real blessing to have Kelly and his son Steven join me downtown. We started off at the corner of St. Louis and Jefferson. There’s a nice little park like area there that my wife Polly calls the park, so I may refer to this new spot as the park in the future. We started off here and then later moved to South and Walnut. That’s why I’m calling this update double header. Just like when we used to play back to back softball games (called a double header) when I was younger, we had two different preaching spots Friday night. We had a great time witnessing.  [Read more…]

Sudden Death

Sudden Death

I used to be a real sports fanatic. Yes, I’m embarrassed to say that 20 to 25 years ago, I’d be the guy chewing out the referee at a basketball game. Red faced, veins popping out in my neck. Even though I’m nothing like I used to be, I do still like sports. Some sports have what is called sudden death, as in sudden death playoffs. In golf for example, if two or more golfers are tied at the end of a tournament, those players start playing again and the first person to score the lowest on a hole first, wins the tournament.  [Read more…]

New Friends

New Friends New Spot?

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…]

Very Pleasant Night

My wife and I witnessed downtown Friday night and we had a very pleasant night. We handed out New Testaments to start with. A couple of young girls walked by us and said they didn’t need them, but the one girl said you should walk around and talk to people. I looked at my wife and she thought it was a good idea. She asked me what I thought. My first thought was I have to “protect the corner where I preach.” But I told her that I wouldn’t mind walking around afterwards.  [Read more…]
