(I wrote this in response to “The Blasphemy Challenge,” two posts below) The supposed atheists on “The Blasphemy Challenge” are on their way to salvation and it’s going to be exciting to see what God will do in their lives! How can I say that? Well, they’re following in the footsteps of the Apostles Paul
If you live in the South Bay and shop in the Riviera Village, then you’ve seen him. If you live in another area, you’ve seen them, too… y’know, the “Jesus Guys”. They’re a little off, a little kooky, and certainly a whole lot strange… This is the “Jesus Guy’s” home—a truck that is never moved
Nick Turner is the 15-year-old son of a pastor here at my church, Dale Turner. He wrote this piece for his high school paper and has since experienced a measure of persecution from his teachers, students, and others in authority.
As the Christmas season rolls around, many people get excited about their time off. Finally, it is time for Christmas vacation.
But nowadays, the title, “Christmas vacation,” is offensive to many people. We now must call it, “Winter Break,” or as PV calls it, “winter recess.”
Yet, there is one thing I do not understand: why is it that we are allowed to say words like Kwanzaa and Hanukkah,

People who do not like this word just need to chill out.
Last week I asked your opinion about the radical street preacher who shouts out the Gospel and berates customers that go into a strip club (see the interview with him by clicking “read the rest of the story” below.)
Below is a video from Fox News that actually shows the confrontation between the preacher and the owner of the strip club. Watch it, then read my thoughts about this guy below.
My thoughts: As Christians, we all know that God’s word never returns empty , but will accomplish the purposes that God has intended for it (Isaiah 55:11). But there is such a thing as tact, courtesy, and being winsome. I don’t think that it is right to call individuals perverts, whores, prostitutes, etc. I do think that it is appropiate to open-air preach the truth of the Gospel in such a way that it is relevant without being obnoxious, even though the message will be offensive. There is also a fine line between harassing an establishment and preaching the Word. The overall message that the preacher is preaching is correct, maybe there should be some adjustment in attitude. What do you think?

A couple of weeks ago, I did a small profile on the Jesus Guy who lives out of his van in South Redondo (Click here to read it). My question was: Does he do any good for the cause of Christ? Here are my thoughts: I asked around at some of the businesses that surround
