Why “Sudden Death!” Mondays?

Apr 12, 2010Steve Sanchez25 CommentsSUDDEN DEATH!

Every now and then people will ask me why I post these morbid Sudden Death! stories on Mondays. One atheist, perdita, wrote: I know you’re trying to make a point here, but I dislike these posts. It’s almost as if you’re getting off on these calamities. All these Sudden Death!! people had friends and loved

John Wesley Persecuted by a Mob

In light of Carol’s persecution by some demonized crazies on Good Friday, I was reminded that some things never change.

In their mission to bring the Christian message to every town and village in Great Britain,

Carol Nicholson is a member of our evangelism team who is very bold in her witness. She sent me this report about a very scary encounter she had on Good Friday.

Yesterday was the worst persecution I have suffered for the Gospel since my salvation. Olga, another sister, and I went to the Redondo Beach Pier holding up a 6 foot cross with the words “Are you ready?” written on it.

Since he could not, he started calling the police and 911, saying that he lived in the condos up the hill behind us, and we were disturbing his peace. He appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

I had a chance to read about the resurrection, but by then he was joined by an angry woman— twice as furious—and between the two of them, they went back and forth between Olga and I, cursing us and claiming that they were devils.
