My Wife Leaves the Emergency Room

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

The good news is that after a 10 hour stint in the emergency room with my wife, she was let out in relatively good health. What we thought was a heart attack probably wasn’t.

Guest E-vangies: THE MAYOR GETS A MILLION By Warren C.

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

About six months ago I decided to organize a block party in my North Redondo Beach neighborhood. I’d been living at my home for 7 years, but only knew the neighbors around my house. I thought it would be a great idea to bring the whole block together and to fulfill the 2nd [...]

The God Debate Review

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Did you see the debate between the atheists from “The Blasphemy Challenge” and Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron? Read this report from from The Christian Worldview Network, including the “wardrobe malfunction” that happened offscreen:

According to the L.A. Times, 29-year-old theology student Jee Hyun Song of Anaheim could face 16 years to life in prison for murder because she “accidentally” stabbed her husband, Dong Uk Kim in the chest with a 5-inch kitchen knife during a clumsy hug. According to court testimony she said that he essentially stabbed himself [...]

FOUNDations: John MacArthur

Friday, May 11th, 2007

“To tell an unbeliever that God has a wonderful plan for his life can be seriously misleading… We cannot dismiss the fact that God hates sin and punishes sinners with eternal torment.
How can we begin a Gospel presentation by telling people on their way to Hell that God has a wonderful plan for their [...]

Guest E-vangies: Spiderman Extreme

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Fellow evangelist Logan Paschke pulled no punches when he went evangelizing at the “Spiderman” opening last week. He actually went as the character!

What’s Your E-vangie Tale #12

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Everyone has broken God’s 10 Commandments. Everyone will be guilty on Judgment Day. All will end up in Hell to pay for their sins of lying, thieving, blasphemy etc.
Shouldn’t someone tell them how to be saved through Jesus Christ by repenting and trusting in Him? If you did tell someone, comment here!

Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron Vs. the Blasphemers

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Why are Kirk Cameron, a preacher, and two self-proclaimed atheists coming together in a church this weekend? Because Cameron and preacher Ray Comfort claim that they “can prove the existence of God.”
They’ll take on the atheists from “The Rational Response Squad,” creators of “The Blasphemy Challenge,” in the first “Nightline Face Off,” a [...]

We see his face no more.
For what he thought was H2O,
was H2SO4.”

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL? By R.C. Sproul

Monday, May 7th, 2007

This is nothing new, but it is a great reminder about why we need to preach…
“There is no greater message to be heard than that which we call the Gospel. But as important as that is, it is often given to massive distortions or over simplifications. People think they’re preaching the Gospel to you when [...]

“In the exercise of his high calling, the faithful ambassador of Christ must not waiver to declare the whole counsel of God ‘rightly dividing the word of truth,’ to all classes of hearers.
He must warn the openly wicked man that if he persists in his evil courses, the just judgments of God will [...]

Your Thoughts/My Thoughts: “A Tool of the Devil?”

Friday, May 4th, 2007

On Monday, I posted a video from a very nice man explaining the way to God for us (Click here to see it!). The problem with this guy is that he is a Universalist. Universalists believe that everyone will be saved in the end, which essentially makes evangelism unnecessary.
Robert Perry wrote this:
Scary about [...]

Your Thoughts/My Thoughts: “Love in the Book of Acts”

Friday, May 4th, 2007

I asked the question: How many times is God’s love mentioned in the Book of Acts? Answer: Zero. Zip. Nada. Never. None.
So let me ask you this: Is it truthful to say that God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life? If you answered “Yes,” then click here to get a [...]

E-vangie Tales #106: “Righteous Richard” Preaching at the DMV

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Yesterday I wrote about “Holy Hubert.” Now meet a sold-out member of our evangelism team, “Righteous Richard” Chavarria. Here’s his story:

I usually get there about 8:30 AM and sit in my car to pray, asking God to strengthen [...]

Open Air: Holy Hubert

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

(The following article was written sometime ago, and I can’t vouch for its accuracy. But, this man did make quite an impact. Holy Hubert died a few years ago.)
Hubert T. Lindsey was one of the great Holiness preachers of our times. During sixty years of Ministry he has conducted crusades in over 50 nations, established [...]

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

(This week will feature open-air preaching stories…)
Logan is an on-fire evangelist from who sent this to me:

There are hundreds of kids from every bad neighborhood walking around and skateboarding. Bathrooms get tagged by graffiti. Gangs meet. More than likely [...]

Guest E-vangies: HUMBLE COMPLIANCE By Val Scott

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Today at the Galleria mall I was passing out Million-Dollar Bill Gospel tracts when a security guard stopped me.
“What you are doing is a form of solicitation and we do not allow it here,” he said.
“I’m not selling anything,” I replied.
He insisted and forbade me. I humbly complied.
