Stone the Preacher

How in the world could I forget this significant holiday?

On March 29, 2006, I made public a blog about Biblical evangelism; it was called “E-vangie Tales and More.”

When I first started sharing my faith on a daily basis back on January 1, 2004, I realized that people’s reactions were interesting, funny, sometimes shockingly rude, and on occasion, threatening. I wrote about these experiences using humor and a fair amount of irony (with a dash of sarcasm), and sent them weekly, via email, to various members of my church congregation to encourage them to evangelize. (more…)

Another part in a continuing series on how I discovered my “gift” of evangelism, met Ray Comfort, and had my boring Christian life changed forever. (You can start at part 1 by clicking here.)

I had been sharing my faith for over a year without much success. My daily evangelistic goal seemed fruitless; my witnessing method weak. My Pastor had asked me two questions: “Are you having any conversations? Is anyone getting saved?” Both were answered with a resounding “No!” Then he offered a suggestion: “You may want to get a hold of a man named Ray Comfort. I think he preaches up in Santa Monica each week.”

Who’s Ray Comfort? I mused. How can he help? I promptly wrote his name in my planner with the intention to call him immediately, but forgot about it.

For six months.

I plodded on with my daily goal, continued to write my E-vangie Tales, and considered teaching some sort of evangelism class. I was very zealous for the Lord’s cause, but extremely frustrated that no one would listen to me, at least to the point of making a decision for Christ. Didn’t they know that I had the words of eternal life? Didn’t anyone care? Was no one concerned that they may end up in a fiery Hell for eternity?

Then our church web design guy dropped a name. (more…)

DAD ALWAYS SAID THAT GOD COULD BE A  BEER CAN.

That was the extent of my theological training. I now know better.

Things change.

20 years ago I would never have made the video below called “The Blasphemy Challenge 666.”

Things change.

19 years ago, on December 2, 1990, everything changed….

I used to sell stereo equipment out of the back of my car in the desert. One night while searching for witches’ covens in an open field at midnight, I challenged Satan to show himself.

He did.

I was also robbed at shotgun point by drug dealers (as a meth addict I didn’t have much discernment in friends).

I knocked on the apartment doors of strangers looking for a wife; I found a lost key and tried opening locks with it. The television spoke directly to me. Then I got a very clear vision that I was headed for Hell if I didn’t die….

Hi Everyone!

I just want to let you know that the URL for this blog has now permanently changed to www.StoneThePreacher.com from www.evtales.com.

Will you do me a big favor? If you have me linked from your blog, or if you have this bookmarked, please change the link to www.StoneThePreacher.com.

After years of hassles with my server, we changed it over last night, so hopefully, this blog will not go down anymore. But, evtales.com will only send you to a blank page until we get it redirected.

Thank you, Steve
