Joel Osteen’s Preaching Love Seat

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

A few posts below there is a picture of George Whitefield’s preaching stool where he would stand when preaching to crowds numbering up to 20,000 in the open-air. But that was then, and this is now! Things have changed! Who needs to preach open-air when you can sit comfortably indoors?
On Valentine’s Day why preach [...]

Appointment with Eternity #7

mini-vangies: End Times

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

The LA Times called asking me if I was satisfied with the service I was receiving and if I’d like to take advantage of the special deal they were offering. I politely said, “No,” and then asked the saleslady a question: “Do you ever think about what happens when you die?”
“Oh, yes. I’m going to [...]

E-vangie Tales #100: Venice Beach is Still Very Weird

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

I have lived in Southern California for over forty-seven years and have not been to Venice Beach since I was 12-years-old; it was a nude beach then, so I had very good reasons for visiting as a pre-teen. I had another very good reason for going last weekend: Evangelize the lost! And man, there were [...]

The Newbie Curse

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Art was a little reticent about handing out a million-dollar bill Gospel tract on his first foray to the Redondo Beach Pier with the evangelism team.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

The bored young man stood behind the counter, head in his hands. It was Monday on Balboa Island in Newport Beach and business was really slow at the frozen banana stand. I popped my head in the service window and dangled a Million-dollar bill Gospel tract tantalizingly in front of him. “Did you get one [...]

Lost (Losing) Liberties: Street Preachers Arrested, Then Sue

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

When police officers in Grand Rapids, Mich., shut down a group of street preachers outside a pagan festival last fall, they infringed upon those preachers’ constitutionally protected free-speech rights. That is the argument behind a lawsuit filed by the Allied Defense Fund against the city on behalf of one of the preachers.
Members of a [...]

George Whitefield’s Preaching Stool

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Speaking of street preaching… I don’t know if Mr. Whitefield was ever arrested at a pagan festival, but he was able to preach to upwards of 20,000 people at a time in the open air. He helped to bring about The Great Awakening in the 18th century. This is his preaching stool!
