Answering the Protester
On Friday, I posted an email sent from a protester at the A.N.S.W.E.R. L.A. anti-war protest who didn’t care for the way our evangelism team shared the Gospel. His email is in black, my response in red.
On Saturday I went to the anti-war march in Hollywood because I am a Christian, and because Jesus told us blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God and to love our enemies and I don’t think that means except for the Taliban. But there seemed to be Christians counter protesting.
They weren’t protesting at all; they were preaching the Gospel. They weren’t angry at anyone, but declaring the Good News of Jesus Christ along with the standards by which they will be judged, The 10 Commandments.
But there seemed to be Christians counter protesting. They were yelling into a megaphone and handing out tracts.
People in the march were mostly just yelling profanities at them while the same people came up and talked to me and asked me about my sign which read “Who would Jesus bomb?” Which of those two ways of sharing ones faith do you think is more successful?
3 Years of Preaching Without a License
“Righteous” Richard Chavarria celebrated three years of preaching at the DMV last week. (He started on February 28, 2007.)

Now, watch him in action:

Well Lo! and Behold! he ended up taking the very first evangelism class that I taught in 2006.
