Ray Comfort’s New Hair-Brained Ideas

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

A devious overt plan…

26,000 copies of On the Origin of Species were given out at universities in Australia and New Zealand on March 9th, without a hitch. This was to pre-empt meetings by Richard Dawkins (the world’s pre-eminent atheist) that were to be held in five major cities. Watch a clip from national TV in New Zealand by clicking here.

Here are the preliminary reports from the down under give away:

AUSTRALIA: “AWESOME!!!!! People were gathering around to get their copy. One of the groups at Melbourne Uni. got through about 2,500 books in just over 1 hour. . . What a great day it was. One guy tried to grab a whole box and make off with it, he wasn’t very successful.”

NEW ZEALAND : “It took from 11am until almost 2pm to hand out their 4000! They had a little resistance–some crazy atheists who were yelling “Jesus hates evolution” behind them–until some of the students who were getting books and engaging in conversations with the team yelled back at the atheists to shut up, as they couldn’t hear what our guys were saying. The atheists then went away. What a wonderful day we have all had speaking up for the LORD!!!”

Then Ray Comfort made a jacket for Richard Dawkins! A real jacket! Will the pope of atheism take it? Watch the video below:

3 Years of Preaching Without a License

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

“Righteous” Richard Chavarria celebrated three years of preaching at the DMV last week. (He started on February 28, 2007.) During that time he has spoken to 11,051 hearers and has handed out 14, 947 Gospel tracts. You can print off and memorize his message by typing “Open Air Preaching Speech” in the search bar. Now, watch him in action:

You never know what God has in store for you. After Richard retired from the City of L.A. he decided he was going to serve the Lord—by working in the parking ministry of Hope Chapel. He wondered if that was all God had for him, after all, he had been a Christian now for 18 years.

Well Lo! and Behold! he ended up taking the very first evangelism class that I taught in 2006. (more…)

Joker’s Wild: The Interview

Friday, February 26th, 2010

It probably won’t surprise you at all that this Joker is an atheist. Apart from the fact that he didn’t like  evangelists “screaming” at people in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater, that he thought we were brainwashed, that he didn’t believe in God (though he believed in Jesus), and that there was no Hell (but there was a Heaven), this Joker was quite reasonable to chat with. You be the judge. Does he make some valid points? If video doesn’t play, click here to see it.

The Wrath of God

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

The 2 minute video below illustrates the current thinking about God from the man on the street. When I asked people on The Strand in Hermosa Beach if God is a God of wrath, people overwhelmingly said no. Surprised? I used this as an illustration from a sermon I preached over the weekend called “The Wrath of God,” based on Romans 1:18-32. When I read it to my wife before the church service, she cried, because it reflects the current dismal culture in which we live (I ended up revising it and wrote a hopeful ending). Nineteen people made some type of profession of faith during the weekend.

If you’d like to see the sermon or listen to it, click here. You can read it below, too. If you’d like to preach it and want the  PowerPoint presentation, all you have to do is leave a comment.

Sermon: THE WRATH OF GOD (Romans 1:18-32)
2/5/10

A subject that’s rarely talked about in Christianity these days is the idea of a wrathful God; it goes against the wishful thinking of unbelievers (who certainly don’t want an angry God to exist), and most Christians would prefer not to think about him in this way at all. (more…)

Blast from the Past: Lightning the Cowboy

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Almost three years ago, when I first started interviewing people on camera, I ran into a colorful cowboy named Lightning while strolling along the Redondo Beach Pier. I think you’ll enjoy this.


(I’d appreciate your prayers as I prepare to give four sermons this weekend on the wrath of God from Romans 1:18-32)

Rose Parade Persecution

Friday, January 15th, 2010

This is a very frightening and funny 3 1/2 minutes….

Watch what happens when “Righteous Richard” Chavarria and myself preach to the thousands waiting in the grandstands for the parade to start  at the 2010 Tournament of Roses. (Read about it here.) 

The crowd’s animosity is roused because the Gospel is being preached; if we were  doing a stand-up routine or talking about sports, I’m sure they would have welcomed us. But just mention The Name, and it’s a whole ‘nother matter.

The Rose of Sharon was definitely a thorn in the side at this Tournament.

This is one of the strangest dudes I have ever interviewed. This video is also a tutorial on how to share your faith with very strange dudes!

Ray Comfort Thanks the Atheists

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Here are a few rave YouTube reviews from atheists who watched this Thanksgiving video of my interview with Ray Comfort from last weekend at the Huntington Pier. We talked about the very successful “Origin of Species” book giveaway (with a special introduction by Ray Comfort) among other things.

From Taurus01979: “Couple of loons, belittling others and calling it “love,” and twisting things to benefit themselves.”

MrJohnnyrace: “These two idiots are their own worst enemy.”

Professor Darwin of USC

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I interviewed Craig Stanford, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at USC, on the day that we handed out Darwin’s “Origin of Species” at the University of California. I was not able to give the good professor any good news because he abruptly walked away, frustrated.

This video gives a great overview of the brainwashing that is rampant in America’s universities. Sad.

Michael Jackson: “This Is It!” Pt. 4

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

These people were among the first fifty in line to see a movie, a silly movie! That’s right, they were willing to wait for 2 1/2 days to see the Michael Jackson documentary, “This Is It!” which wouldn’t even open for another month!

I had to give them something to think about while they waited for their ticket to the silly movie! (Start at Part 1 by clicking here.)

Michael Jackson Fanboy: This Is It! Pt. 3

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Would you stand in line for 2 1/2 days to get a ticket to see a movie that will open a month away? Of course not. Yet some rabid fans of Michael Jackson thought this would be a good way to spend some time as they waited to get their passes to see his new documentary, “This Is It!,” set to open on October 27, 2009. (Read Part 1 by clicking here.)

The Australian Two-Step Evasive Manuever

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Evangelists down under have perfected the art of Security evasion when interrupted while preaching the Gospel; it takes years of practice, but you will be quite amazed with the result.

Josh Williamson, an on-fire preacher from Australia, whom I met at Ambassadors’ Academy #12, demonstrated quite ably in this 20 second video how to continue preaching the Word when an official would rather you stop. At the Fiesta Hermosa last Labor Day he wowed the evangelism team with this wonderful technique derived from years of ignoring atheist kangaroo hecklers jumping to conclusions in the outback. (Read the original story here)

LIVE! Shuttle Bus Preaching ‘09: Off the Wall

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Here’s the wall from where I was pushed while preaching to the shuttle bus line last weekend. No, you can’t see the guy shoving me (but you can read about it here). This video was taken right before or just after I was violently rammed from the wall.

In this short 4 minute video, you can see how easy it is to hand out tracts to those getting off the bus when it arrives, and how simple it is to preach to those standing in line—even when they get on the bus!

 

Al Pacino as Scarface

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Here’s a re-post from the past…

This is one crazy video. A drunken Al Pacino look-a-like thinks he’s Tony Montana from the movie Scarface. I made the not-so-wise choice of interviewing him on what he believes. He shouts, swears (bleeped out), and makes a huge ruckus. I take advantage of the gathering crowd and stand on a stool to preach, using Mr. Scarface as a springboard for preaching the Gospel. Then my stool breaks. Mr. Scarface finishes it all up with a rousing harmonica solo. Whew! Talk about things going wrong…

 

Lester, The Sad Tattooed Man

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Though Lester’s past was tragic, a ray of hope has dawned for him in the future.

Evangelism, AMISH Style

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

This 3 minute video will cause you to smile and shed a tear….

Ephraim Stoltzfus, raised in the Amish culture, was disfellowshipped from his community for having the audacity to share the gospel with the lost, conducting Bible studies with his family, and for reading the Bible in English. As he studied the Word, he realized that that his leaders’ traditions didn’t exactly line up with Scripture.

This clip is taken from a one hour BBC documentary of this incident called “Trouble in Amish Paradise” (currently unavailable, but you can read a synopsis here), and you can listen to Ephraim’s amazing story by clicking here to go to Ambassadors’ Alliance Radio. Ephraim’s tesimony is at the start of the second hour.

I was delighted to find out that Ephraim will be attending The Ambassadors’ Academy evangelism training in August—and he’ll be on my team! I’m looking forward to learning from this young man.

Beer Garden Preaching Makes a Splash

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

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!

You’ll see that this crowd at Venice Beach was having a great time mocking me. At the 2:46 mark, right after I mention the 8th Commandment, you’ll see me bear the brunt of a man who emptied his beverage in my face. (It’s a little loud when I start to preach, so turn down your volume a little.)

Michael Jackson Interview (aka Michael FATson)

Friday, July 17th, 2009

This is the second interview with another Michael Jackson wannabe, taken from the STAPLES Center at the Michael Jackson Memorial.

You just never know about some people….

The man was friendly, kind, and sounded like a Christian. But I detected that something was a little off in his beliefs. I decided to take him through the 10 Commandments, then, POW!

Watch what happened.

(See the first interview with another Michael Jackson wannabe by clicking here.)

Michael Jackson Interviewed @ Staples Memorial

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

After asking a few pointed questions of this “King of Pop,” he got a look at the man in the mirror of the 10 Commandments, hissed, then beat it.

I’m bad.

Now watch another interview with Michael Fatson (his name for himself). He got reeeeealy mad!

(This would be a great link to send to certain friends.)
