Heaven or Hell?

Recently Keven, Joshua and I were out witnessing. We were handing out tracts and a lot of times Joshua would say, “Are you going to Heaven or Hell?” Most people replied that they were going to Heaven. This reminded me of Frank Jenner in Sydney Australia who for 28 years would hand people a tract and ask them if they died today, would they go to Heaven or Hell? Many people were saved by the grace of God by this one man asking this question. It made some people think of their eternity who never really thought about it before. Yes, it really is that simple: Heaven or Hell? [Read more…]

Foolishness

Foolishness

When you hear the word foolish, what do you think of? Stupid? Ignorant? Lacking of knowledge? A foolish person is someone that is unwise or uses bad judgment. The biblical meaning of foolishness is absurdity or folly (according to the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary). The Bible actually talks about preaching of Christ Jesus and Him crucified as appearing like foolishness to the world. So I ask you tonight, does our lifting up the Lord Jesus out here on the streets sound like foolishness to you? [Read more…]

Ministry Update February 16, 2020

Unlike last week where there were so many encouragers, there weren’t any this Friday night. But just like last Friday, I had another person mocking about Hell and he was proud that he is headed for Hell. The message this Friday was positive. It was about joy, real joy, the joy that is found in Christ Jesus alone. The only mention of Hell was toward the end when I pleaded with people to repent and trust Jesus for salvation instead of dying in their sins and going to Hell. I was basically asking the question: Why would you die and go to Hell when the young man yelled Heck Yeah! [Read more…]

No One Wants To Hear You

No One Wants To Hear You

“No one wants to hear you.” Unfortunately, we hear this frequently while out street witnessing. In fact, my friends and I heard it while witnessing at MU this last week. I also heard it the week before while open-air preaching at MSU. No one wants to hear you. So does that mean we should shut our Bibles and go home, because no one wants to hear us? Is that all it takes to run an open-air preacher off is just for a mocker to state “No one wants to hear you?” [Read more…]

Will God Be Angry Forever?

Will God Be Angry Forever?

Psalm 85:5 states: Will you (God) be angry with us forever?  Will you prolong your anger to all generations? Will God be angry forever? I will read Psalm 85:1-5 shortly to show that this is a believer that is asking God these questions. The Israelites had rebelled against God and He allowed them to go into captivity because of their rebellion. So will God be angry with true believers forever? [Read more…]

What’s On Your Mind?

What’s on your mind tonight? What are you doing downtown? Why are you here tonight? What are you seeking? Are you going out for dinner? Are you looking to get drunk? What’s consuming your thoughts and desires tonight? Again I ask, what’s on your mind? [Read more…]

All Guilty Sinners

All Guilty Sinners

You may wonder why my friends and I witness downtown on Friday nights; why we keep sharing the Gospel in downtown Springfield, MO. We do so because we are all guilty sinners. We have all sinned against God and fallen short of His glory (Romans 3:23). Yes, we continually share the Gospel because people desperately need to hear it. [Read more…]

Are You As Evangelistic Minded As A Man In Hell?

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…]

Abraham Friend of God

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abraham is called a friend of God in the Bible. And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God (James 2:23). I too am a friend of God. Not because I’ve done anything to earn that friendship, but because righteousness has been imputed to me. Are you God’s friend tonight?  [Read more…]

The Opposite of the Fruit of the Spirit

Gal 5_19_21

Christians love the fruit of the Spirit. I frequently (almost daily) ask God to renew His Holy Spirit in me and I ask him to fill me with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). As Christians, we are called to be Christ-like and I can’t think of a better way to be Christ-like than to be full of the fruit of the Spirit and to exhibit the fruit to others. [Read more…]
