I parked my car in front of a restaurant, ready to run in “for a quick second” to get some take-out. There was a parking meter. Should I pay the quarter? After all, I will only be here for a moment. I thought about a question I ask when sharing my faith: “Have you ever
If you’ve read this blog for any length of time then you know that I am adamantly opposed to the “Therapeutic Gospel.” This type of Gospel presents Christ as a cure-all, a pill, that can make life happy and oh-so-bright. “God loves you and will give you things like health, wealth, a beautiful spouse, joy all the time, and peace, peace, peace!”
While at times those things are possible to achieve, this is not the message we want to present to the lost. No, the best and most biblical message we can bring is the message that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.

We need to warn them with the truth, not placate them with promises of comfort.

I”ve been disturbed by a video… Over 500,000 people have watched the YouTube ad encouraging people to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by denying Him. Ne’er-do-wells, hardened profligates, and the rest of their atheist ilk (wannabe’s, too) have uploaded thousands of videos firmly placing their faith in nothing by denying the one who was, and is,
What do you think? A very zealous evangelist went to a Chicago gay pride parade and unfurled a banner that said: Lied, Stolen, Lusted? Homosexual, Fornicator, Drunkard? Repent and call on the Lord Jesus to Escape Hell. And this was the result: “…before it was all over I was basically molested, they handled me in
Your Thoughts/MY THOUGHTS: Assaulted by Gay Pride
On Tuesday I asked your thoughts about a man who held up a sign at a gay pride gathering that said: “Lied, Stolen, Lusted? Homosexual, Fornicator, Drunkard? Repent and call on the Lord Jesus to Escape Hell.” He was subsequently molested by the mob. My questions to you were these: What is your opinion regarding
