Yes. That’s right. I’ve been a Christian for nearly 19 years and a pastor for over 11, yet 4 years ago I became sober.
Sober-minded.
Furthermore, just last year I became a member of A.A.
On July 31st of 2005, Ray Comfort taught “Hell’s Best Kept Secret” at our church; after hearing it—and applying it to my life—I felt that I was born again, again.
A whole new world open up to me, and I actually became concerned for the lost. More importantly, after using the 10 Commandments in my Gospel presentations, the lost became concerned that they were, well, lost! Then they’d thank me for sharing Jesus with them. Amazing.
Also on that night in 2005, Ray gave me a free pack of million dollar Gospel tracts.
Gospel tracts? Those were so…so… 70’s! Since that first exposure to this wonderful tool, our church, Hope Chapel, has handed nearly two million.
I now celebrate 4 years of being free from proclaiming a man-centered, God-loves-you-and-has-a-wonderful-plan-for-your-life Gospel.
Things will never be the same.
Oh, about my AA membership? That would be the Ambassadors’ Academy, the evangelistic training arm of The Way of the Master. Have you experienced “recovery?”
Want a real adrenaline rush? Get your preaching stool, set it up in front of a Beer Garden in the heat of the afternoon… and watch what happens!
And then there are the pro-pot people. They are regularly on the street corner trying to persuade locals that legalization is the only way to go. They even have a mascot, Pot Dog. This makes for quite the distraction as we preach in the open air on the pier because drivers-by honk their horns loudly and longly in support of Mary Jane.
bring them along with you when you go on your evangelism adventures—and give them an incentive to do so.
I got a rude awakening last Saturday while preaching to the drunken crowd at a beer garden on the boardwalk and you’ll see it as soon as it’s edited. I also got a very strange interview with a very strange man, The Metal Ball Guy, a fixture at Venice Beach. He balances a metal ball while dressed in a G-string. Don’t worry; we shot him above the waist. Stay tuned.
A recent shoulder injury reminded me of the time I first broke this same shoulder twenty years ago at The Wedge, an impossibly steep, cavernous monster wave that doubles in size when bouncing off the jetty in Newport Beach Harbor. This is a world-class bodysurfing/surfing/bodyboard venue, half an hour south of the Huntington Beach Pier, and I was an avid participant—until my cracked shoulder. The unique aspect of this place is that the waves can reach twenty-plus feet, and they crash with the force of a locomotive into shallow water.

When you are on Facebook, choose a few names that you’ve never heard of. (Don’t do too many at a time; it’s called site abuse.) Everyone wants to be your friend, even if they don’t know you; then post some messages or posts from evangelistic blogs (like this one). Do a different post everyday and every time you are on Facebook add a few strangers as friends. You’ll never know who you might be reaching.
