Charles Spurgeon on Open Air Preaching

Friday, November 30th, 2007

This is an excellent article from about 150 years ago written by the Prince of Preachers. Every would-be street preacher needs to keep a copy of this with them and to read it thoroughly.
Please copy and print this. Things have not changed that much since Spurgeon’s time. You will laugh and shake your head [...]

Arresting Ray Comfort

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Ray is concerned that he might be arrested due to the latest Million Dollar Bill scandal:
The Million Dollar Bill tract not only made the Home Page of Foxnews.com today, but it was also on Yahoo’s Home Page and USA Today. While this is wonderful publicity, I’m wondering if the Secret Service isn’t going to arrest [...]

Lights! Camera! Repent!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Here is good news for Way of the Master fans who like Kirk Cameron, and for those who loved the movie “Facing the Giants.” A new film is currently being shot called “Fireproof” starring Kirk, and written and directed by the same team that made “Facing the Giants.”
I’m sure it will be very evangelistic, [...]

Another Million Dollar Scandal!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

AIKEN, S.C. — A bank teller had a million reasons to deny this transaction. Police say a man tried to open an account with a $1 million bill, which does not exist. The teller refused and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, said Aiken County Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Michael [...]

Bulletin Board Boldness!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

“Hey honey! Look! There’s money on that bulletin board!”

“Wait a minute… that’s not real money.”
“It’s those stupid million dollar bills that we see all over the place! I think they say something about Hell.”
“Man. How brave do you have to be to pin one of those on a board?”

“Christians are so chicken!”
“I [...]

Famous Lost Words: Ex-Christian.net

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Here is a website devoted exclusively to “encouraging” ex-Christians to feel comfortable about leaving the faith.
The site features “de-conversion” testimonials like this one:
“In 2000 I became a born again Christian, I read the bible, I went to church, I listened to Christian music, I guess you could say I “lived” the Christian life. And [...]

Shamu Salvation

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

On November 1st, my littlest daughter, Laurel, celebrated her 6th birthday at SeaWorld in San Diego.
We have taken full advantage of the family pass we purchased at the beginning of the year, this being our fourth visit. We always bring our Million Dollar bill Gospel tracts, never knowing how God will use them—and us—as we [...]

Deaths in America

Monday, November 26th, 2007

BY RAY COMFORT
Charles Spurgeon said that people can be taught to live by being reminded that they have to die. That’s true. Every sane human being has a will to live, and it’s an often-forgotten tool by which we may reason with them. So, here’s some feathers for your evangelistic arrows:
Every year around 90,000 [...]

Sudden Death: Plague!

Monday, November 26th, 2007

A wildlife biologist at Grand Canyon National Park most likely died from plague contracted while performing a necropsy on a mountain lion that later tested positive for the disease.
Eric York, 37, who worked in the park’s cougar-collaring program, became ill on Oct. 30 and called in sick for a couple of days before being [...]

George Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor;
…and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to “recommend to the people of the United [...]

Ray Comfort has a new blog called Comfort Food. While I take a few days off for Thanksgiving, check out his site. See ya back on Monday.

Sermon: Drop-Dead Disciples?

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Two months ago I preached a sermon entitled “The Fear of the Lord” which was a warning to all unbelievers. This sermon, “Drop-Dead Disciples?” is the companion piece, a warning to false converts and half-hearted believers to take God seriously.
This teaching about Ananias and Sapphira is not a fun talk, but I hope it [...]

Priest Unleashed

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Yesterday I posted a Guest E-vangie about how a lady at the water store thought I was a priest (read it here). I denied it. I didn’t know about the hidden security camera…

“As you come to him, the living stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are [...]

Famous Lost Words: Advice Columnist

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

The L.A. Times features advice columnist Carolyn Hax regularly. Read her answer to a person whose co-worker is a rather obnoxious Christian..
Dear Carolyn: My co-worker seems to have made it her mission to convert me.
She treats every conversation as if it’s a chance to make points about her religious beliefs. I can’t even congratulate [...]

City Considers Ban on Christmas Lights

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

A Colorado city is considering a plan that one attorney calls the epitome of the war against Christmas.
Tonight, the Fort Collins City Council will meet and decide the fate of a task force report that urges the city to decorate with white lights, winter symbols not traditionally associated with any particular holiday, and unadorned [...]

Ann Coulter Silenced!!!

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Can you believe Ann Coulter—that firebrand of the Right and scourge of the Left—who makes a living from creating needless controversy and writing books, didn’t have a word to say when challenged on air?
That’s right. For an amazing six seconds, Ann was stumped. Where did this take place? At The Way of the Master Radio [...]

Fruitless Attempts and Father Steve

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

BY RAY WORLITZ
(Ray is a student in our latest evangelism class. Each student’s homework is to hand out one Million Dollar bill Gospel tract each day of the class. Here are two sad and humorous encounters he experienced.)
I made two attempts to give out a Million dollar gospel tract:
Attempt #1- A pastor: He politely declined [...]

Lost Liberties: Gideons Can Witness W/O Arrest

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

A Gideon member who was threatened with arrest while handing out Bibles near a Florida public school has been granted a preliminary injunction by a judge in a federal civil lawsuit. The motion will allow Thomas Gray to freely witness and hand out literature in a disputed 500-foot zone around the school.
Gray was handing [...]

NavPress to Pull John Shore Book

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Author John Shore’s book is a wash-out!
Over the last several months, I have taken to task a heretical book called “I’m OK — You’re Not: The Message We’re Sending Unbelievers And Why We Should Stop” by author John Shore. The incredibly ridiculous assertion he makes is that everyone knows the Gospel already; therefore Christians [...]

Weak, Wimpy—and Wrong—Witnesses!

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I just did a sermon on hypocritical Christianity dealing with the reasons why the unbelieving world doesn’t take us seriously. We aren’t persecuted so much for what we believe anymore (although that certainly does happen, of course), but for what we do—like buying this Jesus junk! Are we really letting our light shine before men [...]

Sudden Death: Wood-Chipper!

Monday, November 19th, 2007

A man was killed in Tustin by falling into a wood-chipper.
 The tree service worker, identified as a Gabriel Gonzales-Ferrer, “was standing at the back end of the chipper, throwing branches into it with his co-workers nearby, said Sgt. Pat Welch of the Tustin Police Dept. “One of them looked over, and he was gone. He [...]

Witness on Wheels

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, said this about 150 years ago: “Speak a word for the Master whenever it is possible, and offer a short prayer at every convenient opportunity.”

“I think we should make it a rule, whenever we hear a foul or blasphemous word in the street – (and, alas! We constantly [...]

Murder at Peet’s

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

The server bolts to the backroom as I enter; when I say “Hi!” her eyes roll. I’ve been abandoned mid-order, gossiped about, and rebuked in front of other customers. She’s been just plain nasty, rude, and intimidating. Still, I continue to patronize Peet’s Coffee in Redondo Beach. Why? In addition to their great coffee, I [...]

Untrustworthy Atheists

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Here’s an article from the March 24, 2006, edition of The Minnesota Daily, which I found from an atheistic science blog called “Science Ouch” (see below).
Here’s my question to you: Do you think that America’s level of trust for atheists has grown or lessened in the 2 1/2 years since this article was [...]

Famous Lost Words: Science Ouch

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

I discovered an incoming link to this blog last week from an atheistic science blog called “Science Ouch”.
I checked it out and found that they had a little story linked to my “The Blasphemy Challenge Guerrilla Action” video accompanied with the following text:
If you’ve never heard of, or are unfamiliar with “The Blasphemy [...]

Don’t Vote for a Non-Christian?

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Our right to free speech in America, including the freedom to preach the Gospel will depend on who gets into the White House in the next election (God aside, of course). This disturbing article by Matt Friedeman is not for the faint-of-heart.
Don’t vote for a non-Christian? I wish it were as easy as all that. [...]
