Revisited: “The Blasphemy Challenge” Guerrilla Action

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Atheist week (which started on April 1) continues… 
A little over a year ago, I made a video response to “The Blasphemy Challenge,” a very popular “contest” that challenges fools to deny the Holy Spirit. It was featured in the monthly ”The Way of the Master” Newblast and exposed many atheists to the Gospel. I am rerunning it [...]

“Righteous Richard’s” Year of DMV Preaching

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

“Richteous Richard” Chavarria celebrated one year of preaching at the DMV last Thursday, February 28. Here are the vital statistics according to his records: He preached a total of 75 times, passed out over 3,822 tracts and had over 2,275 hearers.
Richard took my very first evangelism class two years ago. Each week he sat [...]

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:

 I have few Christians coming to my defense.
 I don’t have the time to bring a [...]

GodTube Controversies

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

I’m amazed at the controversy that my interview with the KISS guy started on GodTube.
It’s divided between those “Christians” who don’t have a clue what I’m doing as I take him through the 10 Commandments, Judgment Day and Hell; and on the other side are those who are proponents of Way of the Master. [...]

Have Yourself a Blessed Little Christmas!

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

We had a singer at our church whose uncle wrote the original Christmas standard, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” He got saved in 1977, then wrote a Christian adaptation of the song which is very good, except for one major theological flaw. Can you guess what it is? I’ll post the answer in the “comments” [...]

A Splendid Christmas

Monday, December 17th, 2007

This is a great site because it provides a subtle Christmas witness.
Send a family member to it and they will find Christmas carols with free Christmas song sheets, the story of the First Christmas, Christmas cookie recipes, crafts and Christmas music. Then there is a link for a gospel presentation, but it’s not called a [...]

Boys in the Hood

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I met Mike and Ish while taking a team on the Redondo Beach pier. We had handed them both a million dollar bill Gospel tract—and found out that they, too, were handing out tracts from Way of the Master!
They have a ministry that I want nothing to do with (except to pray for their efforts). [...]

Christmas Gifts: Your Choice!

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Have a burden to evangelize by wearing clever clothes?
Here are some options that will elicit “Amens” and “Oh nos!”
This is a great gift put out by EvangelismStuff.com:
Shopkeepers Dale and Anna Jackson are good friends of mine who also are on staff at Way of the Master! They know their evangelistic stuff!
And [...]

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 [...]

Hell House Halloween

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Maybe next year you will want to throw one of these together.
These descriptions of Hell Houses come from the liberal leaning Wikipedia; keep this in mind when reading the rest of the article.
A hell house, also commonly known as a Doom House or Judgment House, is a haunted house-style attraction typically run by North [...]

Radical, Real—and Right On—Witness

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Over the last several weeks I’ve featured lame, ridiculous Jesus-wear (Weak, Wimpy—and Wrong—Witness) that unintentionally mocks the cause and urgency of Biblical evangelism. But now I want to feature some clothing that will actually start a conversation: “The Smell of Death” T shirt. Dale and Anna Jackson are part of the creative team at Way [...]

No Fear of the Lord

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

In case you haven’t noticed, the world has changed—a lot. There is no fear of God anymore.
God in the minds of many people is a great, big, generous Sugar Daddy in the sky who will not hold anyone accountable for their actions.
Everyone does what is right in their own eyes…
This is why our our evangelists [...]

Inspired by John Shore’s Book: Heresy Watchdog

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Last week there was no small brouhaha concerning a posting about an anti-evangelism book by author John Shore called “I’m OK — You’re Not: The Message We’re Sending Unbelievers And Why We Should Stop”.
The author responded with criticism that we were unfairly scrutinizing his book without having read it. However, in various interviews with [...]

STARBUCKS PAYBACK TIME by Anna (Banana) Jackson

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

I have pretty much had it with Starbucks, what with their liberal agenda and their mini-mart tasting brew. Imagine my delight when Anna Jackson counter-attacked this establishment with not-so-covert Gospel presentations—right inside the coffee house!!! Whew! I’ll bet this made management’s mohawks stand on end…
Here’s her report:
The coffee house outreach started on a hot [...]

EV Tips/ Outreach? Nooo, INReach!

Monday, June 11th, 2007

The evangelism team went to a combined church outreach on Saturday at the Huntington Beach Pier. Many churches combined to “outreach” to all the unsaved who so willingly and enthusiastically attended Christian programs, listened to Christian bands playing Christian music, and took lots of Jesus stuff.
Yeah, right. When you were a pagan, how many [...]

EV Tips/Loving Lawless Lovers of the Lord

Friday, June 1st, 2007

Even though there is a wealth of evidence from Scripture, history, and the great teachers of the past (including Jesus, Paul, Peter and the gang), in regard to the efficacy of using the 10 Commandments in a Gospel presentation, you will still face the greatest opposition when sharing your faith in this way from… Christians!
Yes, [...]

Quick! Call This Number!

Friday, May 25th, 2007

After you call 562-345-5920, listen to the 1-minute message, then get your atheist friend to call. Or your unsaved mother, dad, neighbor, etc.
Have a camera ready.

Showdown at the Hermosa Corral

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

We aren’t wanted at the fair.
We’re going anyway!
This Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we will have a booth just outside the Fiesta Hermosa at the base of the Hermosa Beach Pier, from 8am to 5pm. We plan on handing out thousands of Gospel tracts, conducting “good person” interviews, and preaching in the open air at [...]

Open Air: Loud Mouths

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

“Righteous Richard” Chavarria tried out a new idea when he and another Seedsower, Val Scott, went down to the 3rd St. Promenade to do some evangelizing recently: Stop Light Sermons! That’s right. The crazy man who preaches every Wednesday morning to unsuspecting crowds at a local DMV had now decided to do something even [...]

Denying Brian Sapient

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Who’s Brian Sapient? Good question. No one would know him if it weren’t for “The Blasphemy Challenge.” He is the less shrill half of the Demonic Duo that created this YouTube phenomenon, and who is enjoying his 15 minutes of fame at the expense of eternity.
An evangelist friend, Kevin Williams, created a My Space [...]

Sharing the Gospel at the Mall—with THEIR Blessing!

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Thanks to Ray Comfort’s ministry, we found a way to get permission from the mall to hand out tracts! After filling out a 15-page application, the mall itself will set you up with a table, a nice velvet table cloth, and a few chairs!
Here is the info from the Living Waters Newletter so you [...]

My New City Council Prayer

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Since writing last week about my illegal prayer in the name of Jesus at a City Council meeting (Click here to read it), I have thought deeply about this issue and have decided to obey the law next time I’m asked to give an invocation at a venue that specifically forbids “sectarian” prayer. I will [...]

Another Blasphemy Challenge Response!

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Stay with this. Don’t be offended too fast! Trust me.

The Atheists Hate My Video!

Friday, February 16th, 2007

Here are comments from real live atheists who didn’t care for my YouTube video: “The Blasphemy Challenge Guerrilla Action.” It might be a good idea to pray for these people… You can see the video here if you missed it! And make sure you check out the lively comments; we have over 60 comments [...]

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!
If I lost a [...]

10 (Almost) Bald Guys

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Kudos to the Harbor College baseball team for honoring their word and coming to church last Sunday as part of their declaration to be there because fellow teammate Jake Turner shaved his head (read the article below). I walked in and saw ten of them sitting in the back sportin’ their newly shaved pates; they [...]

Shaved Heads and a Promise

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Jake Turner is a baseball player on a local college team and he was on the horns of a dilemma: He was asked by the captain of his team to shave his head in the spirit of team comraderie. Jake is all for team unity, but he knows—as we all know—that guys with shaved heads [...]

CHRISTMAS, NOT WINTER BREAK by Nick Turner

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Nick Turner is the 15-year-old son of a pastor here at my church, Dale Turner. He wrote this piece for his high school paper and has since experienced a measure of persecution from his teachers, students, and others in authority.
As the Christmas season rolls around, many people get excited about their time off. Finally, [...]

She Fears God More

Monday, November 27th, 2006

A godly woman I know told me this recently:
“I feel like vomiting whenever I hand out a million-dollar bill; but I fear God more than I do man, so I do it.” She has also said that her hand shakes and she thinks that someone is going to beat her up when she gives [...]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

After thanking God for a multitude of blessings, Abraham Lincoln closed his Thankgiving Proclamation with this (is it timely or what?):
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for [...]
