Sudden Death: Mouthwash
(NewsCore) – An investigation was underway Wednesday into the death of a British woman who collapsed in the dentist’s chair after using mouthwash. Read the rest here. (Another strange one submitted by Jaylene Romero.)
Hollywood Anti-War Protest, Pt. 6: Police Action
The LAPD were everywhere watching everyone’s every move. After all, this mix of pro-Gaddafi, anti-American radicals didn’t trust anyone…
The ANSWER L.A. leftist anti-war march had come to its end in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater where one angry red-faced activist after another shouted and ranted from the back of a truck bed about the evils of our free-enterprise, capitalist system whose form of government allows them to freely dissent without the threat of arrest. (Start the series at part 1 by clicking here.)
For the evangelism team, this was our opportunity to preach the Gospel from atop a high columned structure where Jimmy Kimmel Live! is taped. The protesters were plum tuckered out after several miles of walking and chanting and yelling and had their fill of tirades from long-forgotten gray-haired Jerry Reuben wannabes; maybe they’d be in the mood to hear about Jesus? Ya think?
We were all ready to preach with evangelistic fervor when a kind officer from L.A.’s Finest stopped by and inquired, “Do you have a permit?”
“Uh, no,” I replied.
“You know you are on private property? You have to get off of there.”
Talk about disappointment. This was supposed to be the highlight of the march: preaching to everyone while they were standing still and relatively quiet. What a bummer!
Then the officer pointed toward the pooped protesters and offered a bit of helpful information that allowed us to continue to preach:
Martyrs: Christians Face Charges
Two Indian Christian men working in the state of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were recently arrested and sentenced to 45 days in prison. On Mar. 11, Vasantha Sekhar and Nese Yohan were beaten and arrested in the city of Batha on accusations of “proselytizing.”
Baby Baptism
At age five, my youngest, Laurel Ann, was handing out Gospel tracts; at age 6, she made her open air preaching debut at a stop light. Now, my 9-year-old baby is making her public profession of faith through the waters of baptism. (Our eldest, D.D. was baptized two years ago.) She understands that baptism doesn’t save her, only faith in Jesus Christ does this. Notice her beaming parents.
We believe in a “Believer’s Baptism.”
