Islam, Rod Stewart, and Clueless Christians

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

I am sure surprised at the zeal in which Muslims in Sudan reverence their prophet Muhammad.
According to the L.A. Times: Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy [...]

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 [...]

Saving 40 Bucks

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I parked my car in front of a restaurant, ready to run in “for a quick second” to get some take-out. There was a parking meter.
Should I pay the quarter? After all, I will only be here for a moment.
I thought about a question I ask when sharing my faith: “Have you ever stolen anything? [...]

Salvation Vacation 2: Seeing Signs

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

(Read part 1 of 5 here)
I had no desire to do anything but walk on this San Diego Zoo artificial turf… until I saw the sign. Man it was hard to resist doing any of those forbidden things written on the sign. If there was no sign, I would have just walked on by with [...]

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!

That Mean Ole Schoolmaster

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

The 10 Commandments are the standard by which God will judge our lives—did we keep them? If we have not, then each transgression of the Law is sin. On Judgment Day we will be found guilty and end up in Hell forever to pay for our sins ourselves.
“Oh no!” you may gasp. “What must I [...]

FOUNDations: Charles Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

“I do not believe that any man can preach the Gospel who does not preach the Law.”

The Atheists’ 10 Commandments

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

This three and a half minute video fully expresses the philosophy of “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die…”

Read some of these hypocrites in action. Or maybe they aren’t hypocrites at all, but are fully discharging their thoughts in proportion to their faith. Click to read these hateful comments directed at me here [...]

Law for the Lawless!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

The 10 Commandments are meant for those who don’t know God, couldn’t care less about God, or even deny that there there is a God. The Law shows them the error (the sin) of their ways, whether they agree with you or not, whether they agree with God or not.
1 Timothy 1:8-10: “We know [...]

Converting the Soul

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Psalm 19:7– “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.” (NIV)
The NASB version says: “…restoring the soul;
King James: “…converting the soul.”
It’s the Law of God, the 10 Commandments, that does this work in the heart of a sinner, including hardened atheists, wacked-out New-Agers—and your family members! It’s God’s prescribed plan to show a [...]

FOUNDations: Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

“The first duty of the Gospel preacher is to declare God’s Law and show the nature of sin.”

We Need to Remember!!!

Today we remember all those who fought and died—over 1 million men and women— for this country’s freedom. Because of their sacrifice, we are able to share our faith freely!
It’s also a time to remember the freedom we have in Jesus Christ—who died to set us free from sin!
And there is something else [...]

Learn the 10 Commandments in 5 Minutes!

The first thing I do in my evangelism classes is teach everybody the 10 Commandments. Now you have the opportunity to learn them too!

The 10 commandments are fundamental to effective witnessing because the law is written on everyone’s heart—it’s called the conscience—(Romans 2:15); it’s so important that every Christian should know them, but [...]
