Punched at the Pier!

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

It’s an unfortunate truth that with sharing the Gospel comes persecution; Jesus promised it implicitly: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…” “Blessed are you when people insult you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me…” “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.”
Most believers don’t [...]

Put in Your 2 Cents Worth!

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

I have two very courteous interviews with American Indians posted to YouTube.
 90% of the comments (and there are hundreds of them) are fully against me because they think that I’m insulting the two “elders” with my beliefs. My problem is two-fold:

Atheist evangelists. Why? Can you think of anything more ridiculous than grown men standing around with signs proclaiming that God doesn’t exist?
If He doesn’t exist, why even mention it? This sounds like something that would go over really well at a keg party, with half-snockered frat boys giving wedgies while inhaling from beer-bongs. Nope. These guys were middle-aged [...]
