Two weeks ago at USC we encountered strong resistance from a couple of drunken fans, so much so that the police intervened and did something I’ve never seen in all my years of preaching the Gospel. It was shocking! (I’ll post that video tomorrow.)
There’s always some type of conflict that happens when we preach there and I just can’t figure out why. We’re giving good news for goodness sake! Good news!
The big man in the photo dumped beer on one of our female preacher’s sound system two months ago and tried to prevent one of our evangelists from speaking the truth by throwing his weight around two years ago. (But we developed an effective technique to frustrate his efforts; read about it here.)
I can hardly wait to see what happens this Saturday when the Trojans face the Ducks—and us—again. Meet at Hope chapel at noon to carpool. Returning by 5:30.Directions for free parking:take the 110 freeway and get off on 37th St. 37th St. turns into Hope St. Go past the DMV offfice on the left and go under the freeway. Turn left of Flower St. then Right on 37th St. to the parking lot under the freeway.
In case of rain, which we’ve been experiencing over the last several weeks, we will be doing something we’ve done only once before:
I have to wonder. It perplexes me. I’m somewhat confused. Help me to understand.
Why, if there is no God, as the atheist, unbeliever, rationalist, evolutionist, cynic proclaims, do some of them get so angry when Christians state the plain facts truthfully that there is One? Why are they so darn mean and angry when we explain plainly that He has a standard that He will judge everyone by? And why are they so, so, undiplomatic and tactless when explaining their (erroneous) point of view?
Periodically, I like to review some of the comments made by unbelievers as they view
some of my YouTube videos. I’m truly amazed at the bile they spew in my (and Ray Comfort’s) direction, when all I’m doing is espousing a contrary view to theirs.
Here are some random sample comments from videos I’ve posted over the last year:
In response to my video
“Ray Comfort Thanks the Atheists”—
From aaron4820: nice career you’ve got going on here…. you know you’re full of expletive, we all know you’re full of expletive, but the idiots who follow you and buy your expletive believe in you! nice one, keep up the good work feeding off stupid people, and it’s not like you’re going to hell for such immortal behaviour, because let’s face it, we both know there’s no hell, or heaven for that matter.
From eatingfatty: I would have punched him in the mouth for saying that Charles Darwin would be a great imagineer. This man is a fool, nothing but a fool.
This is great! Puzzles, games, riddles, jokes, mazes, a scary, creepy website…and a kid-friendly Gospel message—all on a one sheet that you can hand out with candy on Halloween Harvest night!
Redeem the evening with this wonderful tract by Anna “Banana” Jackson, proprietor, along with her husband Dale, of the web store Evangelism Stuff.

And here’s another unique Harvest Tract:
The Cootie Catcher
These days parents are wary of what their kids get in Halloween bags, especially if it’s something Christian. If it’s suspect, like loosely wrapped homemade brownies given by the hippie commune down the street, or a tract with a smiling Jesus, it gets thrown away. But here’s a novel idea: a sanctified version of the Cootie Catcher.
You remember those don’t you? Little boys and girls everywhere would write out their fortunes and whatever came up, that was their future, like having to marry little Billy, the kid with the funny nose, etc. On this evangelistic version every “fortune” that kids (or parents) read gives a very clear—and scary—Gospel presentation.
Here’s the “fortune” under the symbols for “road” and “heart” on the Cootie Catcher:
Preacher Vs. Creature: Mad Mike’s Monster Message
This is a horribly frightening account. You might call it a FRANKENwitness.
“Mad Mike” Stockwell is normally fearless in his Gospel presentations with live people, but this time he met his match with the undead. If you have the courage, click to read this spooky, scary, awful encounter that has never before been attempted… nor ever will be again! (Make sure you read this with the lights on.)
