God Hears The Prayers Of The Righteous

Does God hear your prayers? A lot of people pray to God. Some people claim to be spiritual and they’ve told me that they pray to God. Even professing Christians who after talking with them for a while, even they figured out that they really weren’t saved. That they had never truly repented of their sins and surrendered their lives to Jesus. Sometimes these same people fall back on, “I pray to God after I sin and He forgives me.” But is this really true? Does God hear their prayers? Does God hear your prayers? [Read more…]

Why Seek Ye The Living Among The Dead?

Jesus came to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). The perfect, sinless Son of God never sinned, not one time. Yet, He willingly laid down His life as a ransom for many. God poured His wrath over sin out upon His own precious Son as Jesus hung on the cross. Jesus died, was buried and rose again victoriously three days later. That’s right, Jesus rose from the dead. On the morning of His resurrection, several women came to anoint His body with spices and an angel asked the women this question: “Why seek ye the living among the dead?” [Read more…]

Unloving?

Unloving?

While out street witnessing, sometimes we get accused of being unloving. We are accused of being unloving because we talk about the exclusivity of Jesus. That Jesus Christ is the only Savior. So I ask you, is it unloving to say that Jesus is the only way of salvation? Is it unloving to not be more inclusive?

Actually, it would be more unloving to pretend to be inclusive, to put inclusivity above all else. That would be unloving. Just trying to make people feel better about themselves is unloving. Withholding the truth would be more unloving. If there was eminent danger for you walking down the street right now and I didn’t tell you when I knew about it, that would be unloving. [Read more…]

Rescue The Perishing

Rescue The Perishing

I love the old hymn Rescue The Perishing by Fanny Crosby. The first line is: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. Then the chorus goes: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. Rescue the perishing. Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. Yes, Jesus is mighty to save. The Lord is the only way of salvation – there is no other. Rescue the perishing. This aptly describes street witnessing. [Read more…]

Are You Defiled?

My wife and I started hiking about a year and a half ago. We really enjoy seeing God’s creation and God’s beauty while we are out on the trails. But you know what we don’t like to see? Trash. Some people leave their trash on the trail. This is very selfish and inconsiderate of them. They defile the beautiful scenery with their pollution. [Read more…]

Bring It On

Recently a student at Missouri State University said, “God is not real.” There’s nothing new or special about that, unfortunately, students routinely say this. I replied back that only a fool says there is no God (Psalm 14:1). I also pointed out to the young man that one day he will stand before this very God that he says isn’t real. The student then turned around, flipped me off and yelled, “Bring it on!.” [Read more…]

Are You As Evangelistic Minded As A Man In Hell?

Today I want to talk to Christians. I have a question for those who have been born-again; for those who have truly repented from their sins and surrendered their life to Jesus Christ. Yes, I’m speaking to those who are followers of Jesus Christ our Lord. The question is: are you as evangelistic minded as a man in Hell? [Read more…]

Life In The Blood

I don’t know about you, but I get squeamish at the sight of blood, especially my own. One morning I woke up and a blood vessel had burst in my eye. When I looked in the mirror and saw dried blood coming from my eye, I immediately passed out. When I woke up, my wife was standing over me and I kept looking at her wondering why she was upside down. Then I realized that I was lying flat on my back on the bathroom floor. (Luckily I missed the corner of the wall by an inch or less).  [Read more…]

You Can’t Fool God

How do you witness to an atheist? The same way you witness to anyone following a cult and the same way you witness to a false convert. You take the person through some of the 10 Commandments. God gave us the commandments for a reason. God is righteous and Holy and His standard is perfection. Jesus summed up the 10 Commandments this way: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39). [Read more…]
