Week of July 4 2009 Fire Fire Fire

Thursday was a normal truck stop night. It took me 2 hours to talk to 4 poeple. I say 4 because the fith one, Daljit Singh was convicted so quickly he had to stop the conversation. He still has my tract though. Bill, Spencer, and Sheila were all people who were all too glad to talk about the Gospel. Bill thought it didn't matter what church you attended. He thought as long as you go, you would be ok.
Spencer might be a Christian but there were so many red flags in his testimony that it caused concern in me. When I come to someone like this all I ask them is "I don't know your heart but please let me explain the Gospel just to be sure you know it". Once that happens their blood is off your hands. If they do know it then what will it hurt? It's just another member of Christ your get to know. They no longer are STRANGERS.
Shiela was walking her mutt when I gave her a tract. Sheila was all ears, distracted, but all ears.

Friday was Southlakes 4th of July celebration and my 3rd 4th of July celebration of witnessing at that location. I met up with Tim, Jeff, and Rex. Rex has been away for awhile but there he was passing out tracts. I met a guy by the name of Shaun or Sean or Shawn, one of these. Shaun had the odasity to witness to me, huh! I say it's about time someone had the ^%$^%$ to witness to me. Most men are scared of most men. Shaun laid it out. Thanks Shaun.

Saturday was Ezra day. Pick a place to read 1 John. I chose the courthouse steps in Southlake. My thinking was that in my lifetime I would not get to do this too much longer with people like our Muslim president in the Whitehouse.

So off I went to read the book of 1 John all the way thru. Many people heard some of the verses. I just look at it like this. God will bring those who he wants to hear His Gospel to those that will proclaim His Gospel. No gimmicks to try to lure hearers of the Word.
Later on in the day I met with Byron Porter my Spanish speaking compadre? Yea he speaks Spanish. We met at the legendary Bass Pro shops and drove off to Grapevine Lake to look for Mexican so he could practice on his Spanish.
The photo to the right is what we saw at the lake. You see 2 cars on fire with the first responders just arriving at the same time we did. Some people think at least one or both cars had fireworks inside. Makes sense to me. Every 4th people gather at the lake and light it up.


This of course drew an instant crowd for those looking for one. Byron wanting to try out his Spanish had several Mexicans to choose from. The guys in covered in tats standing next to us seemed like they were wanting to talk about the things of God. I pointed to Byron and Byron beamed in on my finger to talk to these guys and off we ran with it. After a few minutes of conversation one of the men said they were Mormon i.e., sinners who have rejected Christ as God and therefor reject Christ as Saviour and Lord.


After the conversation I said to Byron that if it were me I would have gotten right to the meat and asked; Do you believe that Jesus is God? Then read the scriptures that say that He is God. Anyway we left them with tracts and because they are so confident in their cult belief they left us with nothing.

After giving out severl tracts we came up on some viejas ( ladies if childbearing age who may have or may not have had children but look like they might have had children). Definition from the post exhilent ronaldus postus dictionary.

After listening to the video I have of Byron and this special encounter, Byron did a great job to show them their sins and show them what must be done to inherit the kingdom of God. Praise God that Byron is willing to learn the language to increase the opportunities to further the Kingdom of God.

After hiking back to the truck I met a man named Zack. He made the claim of being a Christian. I hope that Zack doesn't make this claim anymore unless he has repented, turned to Christ, and trusts in His mighty power to save the sinner. Zack if you read this and it sounds as though I am harsh and divisive I will make my defense and say it's the ultimate of love through Gods saving grace He has given me. By my remarks, I am giving you objective warning signs from my observation. Your girlfriend wouldn't talk to you like this, your mother or father the same probably. I am outside your circle of friends who can say with all confidence that I love you. The Gospel message is Love. Christ is Love. The message of the Gospel is about Christ. Zack I am giving you the greatest news any man will hear. It's this, you will perish in your sin, period.
Read Revelation 21/8. We established that you failed every commandment, 10 of 10. God will judge you in righteousness through His commandments. I only made it clear to you. This messenger loves you Zack. Beg Him for mercy, fall on your knees, leave all behind to follow Him. This isn't a surgar coated message from a mega church "pastor". Test what I've said through the scriptures, don't trust what I say alone. Christ is all in all. He alone can forgive sin.

Had

I will try to do a word study on the word "had" as it appears in the New American Standard Bible pertaining to John:4:4. Scripture says: "And He [had] to pass through aSamaria".

I thought it interesting that Paul said that he took every thought captive. Our Lord did one better, he took every step he ever took here on earth captive. I think He knew exactly how much time it would take Him to get to any destination. Yes I think so. He never willy nilly went somewhere just to go there. He always had a reason and a time to do it. He had no time to waste.

My thought includes the John 4:4 passage "and He [had to]...Christ had to do many things throughout His life on earth at the exact moment or He would have missed certain people in certain parts of the day or night to Proclaim Himself (the Gospel).

Here in this passage Christ [had] to meet an adultress Samaritan. He had to be at the Jacobs well at the same time she came from the city to get water. So the text says ...and He had...

Take a look at a partial definition from Strong's Greek.


had
Strong's Greek #1163
1163 [dei /die/] v. Third person singular active present of 1210; TDNT 2:21; TDNTA 140; GK 1256; 106 occurrences; AV translates as “must” 58 times, “ought” 31 times, “must needs” five times, “should” four times, it is necessary, there is need of, it behooves, is right and proper. 1c necessity in reference to what is required to attain some end.




All this to say one thing. I would pray that Christ would prick my conscience the same way. That I would have such a passion for souls, my mind would think in such a way as the "1c" definition.

I would also pray that one day He would grant me a way to teach people how to evangelize.

One more prayer, that He would allow me to work in full time ministry within evangelism.



My friend and brother in Christ Tom Sadowski two Thursdays ago came out with me. I could say Tom [had] wanted to come out with me. He had a long chat with a man who was lost as far as we could tell. Going to the truck stop is not a serene place to minister to the sinner. Although there are plenty of lost people it takes some ingnorance to minister there. I say ignorance in the sense of, one having to ingore the obvious.

The obvious would be to ignore the urine smell. When a driver has filled to capacity the "pee jug" he will pour it out on the pavement close to his truck. If the jug is not full then they might need to pee quickly after parking the truck. Next you need to ignore the smell of the deisel. Trucks are left running all night if they aren't using "Idleair". Also you need to ignore the noise. You'll get out of there with a scratchy throat after talking for a few hours. Then the thing you can't get away from is the heat. It gets hot everywhere, but it gets hotter there next to the trucks that are left running while the exhaust is in your face, oh, yes, you do breath the exhaust.
You can't be a Todd Friel type of man, you know, always worried about germs.
Last Thursady was a gorgeous day to breath in the odors, take in the noise, and best of all have predetermined by God conversations. Plenty of people to talk to including those who named His name and could not explain Him.

I hope I can get others to think the same way as our Lord "He had to go to Samaria.
I hope I can get myself to think the same way our Lord thought about His message to the lost.

Pilot Truck Stop Last Night with My Son


Last night was so sweet, it had to be of Christ and His mercy to those I had a predetermined conversation. Again and again my expectation are small about the way things will unfold. But God in His determination to have His Gospel delivered to the exact people He had chosen delivered a knock out blow to my fleshly mind.


I keep pinching myself in a way because I would have never thought Christ would choose me to deliver such an important precise message as is the Gospel. The Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ. Repentance and trust in Him, knowing the law, what sin is, and the message of the cross. This brings about true conversion.

Rom 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

If you change the message you change the One who
brought it, Jesus Christ. If you change the message you make it powerless to change anything.
The message to all three of these gentlemen is that they are doomed without salvation of Jesus Christ.
Their "strivings" will never be good enough. Imagine that. I talked to 3 different men and all of them, a sinner and his own beliefs, a JW with baggage, and a Hindu. What a night. All three men had the same belief within different religions, the sin of unbelief.
They all tried to be "good". They all sought to do the "right thing". In the end all our righteousness is filthy rags to God. No matter whose religion, it comes down to how good can I be to attain "heaven".
They all want the same thing, heaven. They just don't want God to be there. There own reasoning of what heaven should be is one big giant tent of "good people". Their god would overlook their sins of lying, stealing, adultery, coveting, idolatry. That's the god they worship and that's the god that will drag them to hell.
Don't play with the time God has given you. Consider it His mercy on your soul. Don't waste time, now is the time for Salvation, you don't know what tomorrow will bring, your days are numbered.
You just don't know what number is yours.

Back from Fort Benning

Just a change of subject type to let all my readers know that my son who is single is back from Fort Benning, GA.
We flew to Georgia, rented a car, drove 2 hours to the Fort Benning area to see my son graduate from basic, and advanced training.

To the left is my sweet lovely P31 wife, Daniel, and Caleb. Remember Daniel is single. Besides being single he is not married either.

We had a good time helping him settle down in the civilian world by eating real world food and sleeping until the sun came up. Now he will continue his job at the Fort Worth jail, go to school and possibly take flight lessons from someone who attends our church. I think the next biggest thing besides going through boot camp and surviving is the weight he lost. About 80 lbs. He is holding at 200lbs and looks good.

He alson loves to attend the church Tommy Nelson pastors, Denton Bible Church.

I couldn't sign off without writing about his baptism. Yes he finally took the plunge. As a boot camp enlisted soldier, perspective becomes clear. I don't know what the base chaplain talked about but, whatever it was, my son made the clear decision to obey Christ our Lord by getting baptized.
He understands the Gospel and is working out his salvation. With his dad around he is also examining himself in light of the scriptures.
I praise my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for His mercy on both my son and me. There are many fathers who are saved with sons that live for the devil. Praise Him who saves to the uttermost. It is Christ, it is God, it is we who bow low before Him.

More Trucks More Conversations More Preaching



It's been a while since my last entry. While I started out blogging to keep names in memory and pray for salvation for so many that are perishing, there is the factor of time. I say make more time to witness and less time to blog. That is what I did. The couple hours I put into blogging have gone into the bigger picture of witnessing. I have to let go of the temporal things to do the more important thing for my Lord Jesus Christ.

So for now unless something else changes, I will not blog as much. I'll try to keep it up as long as possible updates to a few things that I do but not nearly everything I do in witnessing/evangelism.
Let me recap on the past week only for now. Truck stop ministry is still going. Thursday I talked to a couple guys but handed out many more tracts. Pray that the Lord sees fit to keep the door open for His Gospel to penetrate the almost meaningless lives of truckers. Think about it. each day they drive for hours only to arrive at a truck stop greeted by nobody without the company of wives, children, parents, friends, or known geography. Just about anywhere they go they are strangers. At the stop they eat, take a shower, read, watch tv, or talk to other truckers.

The next morning they do the same thing until arriving at their destination only to pick up another load to do the same thing. If the trucker has true hope in Christ, maybe it's more tolerating to bear up. If too a trucker were a Christian they could start their own evangelism ministry. Most don't and most won't. Sinners on the other hand have no Hope for eternal things and put all their hope into temporal things each day and night.

So I think when someone like me shows up at their door holding out a tract it's perfectly ok to get strange looks. Strange looks haven't killed anyone that I know. Give me all that the looks imaginable but also give me 5 minutes of your time.
For now I still plug along once a week as much as I can to talk to as many truckers as possible and even some prostitutes. Praise God for His plan of redemption, not my own.

This Saturday, Memorial day weekend 3 of us went to the Grassy Knoll. Chad, John of TLC Ministries, my mother (who came to interpret) and I trekked to Dealey Plaza Historic District. We preached from a platform just to the left of where the man is walking up the "grassy knoll".
So as people walked behind us and on the sidewalk to the right the Gospel message of our Lords sermon from Matthew Chapter 5 was clearly heard.

The obective: to read word for word from the Scriptures (Word of God), the Sermon on the Mount. The purpose: this is how our Lord decided to save those who are perishing, through the hearing of His Word alone. Evangelism/witnessing. The method: while one of us read and preached, the others would pass out tracts and witness. The method we use is vulgar to some churches so much so that if it were discovered by the leadership, a mark would be placed next to your name called "special". So special that you suddenly find yourself free from any invitations to be a teacher, deacon, or elder.


Being special has it's benefits: freedom. Now I have the freedom preach God's word anywhere the law allows and almost nowhere some churches allow.

To the left is Chad, Ron, and Jon (TLC). My mom took the picture, Thank you mom.

Soon after this picture was taken we headed back to the truck. On the way there while walking slowly with my mom I saw a Mexican (maybe illeagal) sweeping just to the side of an open garage like door leading into a restaruant. I used my vast deep vocabulary of Spanish as we approached him (Tony) and said "come esta"?

He Tony replied "muy bien gracias" in a very friendly tone. Almost at the same time my mom asked him something about church. Can you say "divine appointment?" In short, after a 30 minute conversation with my mom's studering Spanish at times, we bid him fairwell. I gave him a Spanish Bible and told him where to read by marking it out. Pray that God has mercy on Tony's soul like He did with mine and my mothers'.
That's my beautiful mother evangelist and Tony the sinner. Do you see his new Bible he's holding?
I wonder if there are any good sound Methodist churches in our area. Just curious>

Jeff Pittman in the Spotlight

I know a guy who was fed up with doing nothing for the Lord. Although he thought it, nothing was not the word for the fed up part. Everyone does something I think. No one does nothing I hope. But this guy thought he should be opening his mouth to proclaim the Gospel more often.

Jeff Pittman from 1st Baptist Church in Justin Texas. Jeff is the kind of guy who likes to stay under the radar. Even when Jeff does open airs, he will never get "in your kitchen". Now how often do you hear a preacher that never gets in your kitchen while telling you that ****************hell


awaits you without repentance.

Ok this is what I know about Jeff: He is older than me, about 50ish, he lives in Justin, works for a pipeline, gas, oil type of company that gives him a nice truck to drive. Has a wife, and a daughter. I should know his wifes name but I forgot. But I did meet his daughter today. She was given the task to deliver my camera that Crawford borrowed and did not return. Jeff's daughters name is Sabre (sorta). I know I slaughtered that one. But here is Father and daughter in several pics: Do you see the resemblance. I don't. I think Jeff was adopted.
The first upper left pic Jeff is witnessing to someone elses daughter in Florida near the entrance of the Aquarium in Tampa. The 2nd upper right he is open airing I think at the recent Fort Worth Arts Fest. Bottom left, more witnessing, and bottom right his daughter at the Wal Mart parking lot in Roanoke Texas.
Jeff will never be seen front and center until now. But now that I have seen some of Jeff's family I thought why not write some little tid bit on Jeff Pittman, evangelist, preacher, elder, minister, dad, and husband.

Allen and Calvin Two Truckers Two Fates

Back at the truck stop on Thursday night the Lord had devine appointments for me. Coming up on a man who was headed for McDonalds after a long day on the road, I met with Calvin.

Sometimes I think that because someone can't explain the Gospel I think they are not saved. It's true. Think about it. If you hired a carpenter to build a simple box so you could use it to stand on, and the carpenter came back to you with a box that had the nails or screw sticking out. You also notice the box has closer shape to a parallelagram than a square. Then to top it off the carpenter gives you the invoice, then you look at him like he's ready to say "just joking" but you know he's serious.

Another example: a plumber comes to your house to fix a simple leak. You let him in because he has all the right looking tools, and he's honest looking. You show him the leak and you leave him alone to do the work. An hour later he comes out with the invoice and you say lets go look at it. You see that he's done something but the leak is still there! You look on his face to make sure he's not joking, and he isn't!
Both scenarios are not jokes, they really happen! Here is the bold truth to both of them, scenario one says he's a carpenter. But in reality he is a liar, and certainly not a carpenter, but closer to a thief.
Scenario 2 is a person that calls themself a plumber. If this man came to my house and could not perform the duties of a plumber, I would call him a liar and would not pay the invoice.
The Gospel is more simple to understand than plumbing or woodworking. So if a person calls themself a Christian and could not explain the Gospel then I would have to doubt their salvation or give them a reality check.
So I don't think it's always the case someone can't explain the Gospel and their salvation is doomed, but take this scenario of Calvin.
Calvin could not explain in explicit terms the Gospel, but he related the message of the Gospel in the best way he could. As he was trying to explain what he was trying to say I was filling in what he was trying to say in Biblical terms. Calvin understood the Gospel and was possibly saved.

Allen>>>>Allen thought he was saved but wasn't. Allen couldn't even get a form of the Gospel, a shadow, an outline of the Gospel. Allen had trouble from the start.

So as our Lords divine appointment would have it, Allen now understands his depravity, and our Lords wrath on his sinful ways. Allen saw right away his sin from the 10 commandents. Then Allen saw his need for a Saviour, then what Christ our Saviour does for those that repent and trust in Him with faith, grace and mercy.

At the point they "figure it out" you know you've done your part. Leave the rest to the One who made the earth in and sky and sea and everything in them in 6 days. Leave the rest to Him who knows the number of hairs on our heads and has a name for every star. Point to the scriptures, especially 1 John. Tell them to read it as many times as they will. Tell them to cry out to God to have mercy on their souls, to open their heart and mind to understand what they read.

Allen and Calvin are two different truckers, one, possibly thorny ground, the other possibly fertile ground.

Mat 7:18
"A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

Thinking on Women in Leadership

I thought this blog was interesting in light of the Palin VP role in politics. I pulled this off another site just for my recall.
In case you might not know Golda Meir was the fourth prime minister of the State of Israel.


The Bible looks favorably on the competence of the Queen of Sheba and the legitimacy of her secular rule over her gentile nation (1 Kings 10:1-10). Such national leaders as Elizabeth I in England, Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom, and Golda Meir in Israel are examples of competent women who have admirably led their respective nations. It’s interesting how the latter two were both given the nickname “Iron Lady,” indicating that their mettle was uncharacteristically strong for their gender. Steely firm toughness, an essential trait for effective ruling, is typically more pronounced in men (1 Corinthians 16:13). It’s interesting how David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, called Mrs. Meir “the only man in his cabinet.” [ii]
It is difficult to imagine a high-ranking female politician’s being able to conscientiously fulfill her priority obligations as a helpmeet to her husband and a mother to her children. Golda Meir broke off her political responsibilities for four years to stay at home and raise her two children. However, upon returning to public life, her enormous workload contributed to the collapse of her marriage in 1945.[iii]

Red Mountain Church

I found some new music to listen to and really enjoy. The CD to the left is called the The Gadsby Project. I just copied and pasted the following exerpt from their website:
Gadsby’s Hymns, published in several stages during the first half of the 19th century, is a collection of hymns from multiple writers containing songs dating back to the 17th century. Some of the 1,156 songs in this hymnal are familiar, but most of these great lyrics have simply been forgotten in the modern church. Our primary goal for this record is to reintroduce 14 of these great hymns so believers can incorporate them into public worship again. Interestingly, William Gadsby (the original compiler of the hymnal, a great preacher and hymn-writer) was against the use of instruments in public worship. This mindset aided in making many of the original tunes and melodies unknown for these hymns. There is a companion tune book for Gadsby’s Hymns, but it wasn’t published until 1927. It is very possible that these hymns have had multiple tunes and arrangements over the years. We like to believe that our small work on these hymns is a part of something much bigger, that we are simply another group of believers falling in line with generations who have gone before us, modernizing and singing these great hymns once again. The tunes that we have applied are our way of interpreting the text in our own time and place, and it is exciting to think that the tradition of putting hymns to new music is a tradition that has gone on for many generations. We hope that you love these hymns as much as we do and that you are able to sing them again in your church. One last thing: Go buy a copy of Gadsby’s Hymns. Then go buy a bunch more, and give them to all your friends. May this exceptional hymnal feed your soul the way it has fed ours.
Also you can find some of their stuff on utube along with a taste of their personalities.
If you enjoy solid food from our King and Lord Jesus Christ in the form of His Word, go and feast on the music of Red Mountain Church.
I think if I had to choose the best CD they sell and I couldn't buy but one, then I would choose "Help My Unbelief". http://www.redmountainchurch.org/rmm/alb/g2clips/track03.mp3
All the lyrics is reformed. You won't find one song that repeats the chorus over and over and over and over...
You can say these are not typical of most church songs where you'll find the lack of content made up by some kid trying his lead guitar skills on all who will suffer through it. It reminds me of a Todd Bentley false prophet concert where there was more bouncing than God's word proclaimed. Oh wait, God's word was never proclaimed, it was another gospel! sorreeeee:)'
Go check out their music at the link above. If anything it might be too folk like for you but the words are spot on.

McDonalds Sunday or 4am Wake-up

All I was thinking last Thursday was, I will be getting a call Friday morning at about 4a.m. That's fine I could do that. Go to bed a little earlier, get up, shower, coffee, and I''m out the door. Sounds easy to me and sounds easy to you, right. If that's all I had to do then life is a bowl of passion oranges just right for eating while you kick back and eat up.


God is a God of mercy and grace and justice and wrath and judgment and power and wisdom and peace and wisdom and so much more. So in serving our Lord who is all these things at the same time and is never not any of these things at all times. Im thinking that what He has called me to do is simple even in my feeble mindedness, my unbelief, my unwillingness, my unforgiveness, my wretchedness and so much more of "ness".


Thinking through these things makes for me a balance in Christ to do the work of an evangelist.


Either stay home knowing what I need to do the next day or go out to do the work I comitted to do for my Lord, proclaim His gospel to the perishing. It's His gospel that must be shouted from the roof tops, it's His gospel that must take front and center of our thoughts and actions. I know it's not like that for me at all times, especially after work when I'm am so tired. But when Thursday rolls around I need to go and do the work Christ beckones me to do.


In all human standards going to the truck stop was a miserable failure in terms of how many people I talked to and how many tracts I passed out. I took two rubberbanded stacks of tracts and gave out maybe less than 10 individaul tracts! I told a guy to read through one and it had a good message on the back, he said he would. I said the same thing to a lady walking by (not a lot lizard), then approached a truck with a husband wife team. That's it! I camped there for close to an hour I think, maybe more. The couple is pictured here. This is Eugene (he said I could call him that) and Jeannette Whaley from Virginia Beach. Both are in the "kinda" catagorie. Kinda new Christians but kinda not. They've been saved for about 3 years. They know enough to be saved and maybe know a little theology without knowing they know theology, you know?


So at this point I would say to Eugene and Jeannette to find someone to teach them more diligently the things of God. Find someone who can take the Word and exegete each and every word and line in the scriptures. The difinition of exegesis is this:
"critical explanation or interpretation of a text or portion of a text, esp. of the Bible". Very few pastor teachers lack this ability. It takes hours of study to exegete small portions of text. That's why some pastor/teachers aren't willing to do it. In fact do a study on how Paul himself exegeted scriptures. You've got to know God's word so well that if anyone like me comes along and asks you anything at all within reason, you will have an answer from God's Word not our opinion which counts for nothing in the day of judgment. Look at this text and this may be what I did Thursday night with you:
Act 18:26
and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

You see, I'm not suggesting anything other than getting yourself trained in the Way of God more ACCURATELY. This should be the only goal up to the point of being teachers yourself. Know God's word with accuracy. Dissect it, meditate on it, day and night.

The text above if you read it reflects a man who was "mighty in the scriptures". If he was mighty and did not accuratley proclaim God's word then how much more do we need to do to soak in the wisdom of His word.

Thank you Eugene and Jennette for the fellowship and patience with me. Can I say it? Keep on truckin, in Christ alone.

Thanks for the offer of the Micky D's sunday, my brain and body told me it was getting late with an early day coming fast. Maybe next time. Be careful out there.

Oranges for My Lunch

I was thinking that there is really nothing in all the earth that you can give without God giving it to you first. What? Try giving a watch to someone. Now let's break it down. A good watch is made of metal, crystal, and precious jewels right? Now the metal came from the ground that God made, the crystal from the (sandy) ground that God made, the jewels came from the ground that God made.



Now you paid for the watch with the money you earned or stole and you give the watch away. The money you earned was earned with the eyes God gave you, the hands God gave you, the brain God gave you, the feet, ears, bones, muscles, cells, blood, and on and on and on. We could start at the beginning to say that it was God that gave you life, to earn the watch that God provided years before you were born in the form of minerals, stones, metals and such.

So if you were to give to someone, anything at all, you would have to say it was from God first then from the person who worked for it. If you refuse this line of thinking then try this: start by making yourself. What do you need first, do you need muscles before you bones or your bones to hold up your muscle. You need blood for life but it needs to be oxegenated, so how do you pump oxegen into the blood and what is suppose to hold the blood in the areas the muscle and bones need to make use of it. Did you forget your head? Don't lose your head because you need a head. The blood can't leak out or you will die. But hey! From what did you make the life giving blood? What materials were used for blood! So even now you would be an earth glob of nothing.


All this to say is that I talked to Omar and Aquilarobles at the truck stop. Omar claimed to be a 7th Day Adventist.
I asked Omar a simple question (no not yet), I asked him what he knew about the Gospel. I said to Omar, it's the most important message to know for eternal life right Omar? He agreed. So I asked him again what he knew about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Omar basically would have gotten an F on his "last day on earth exam". So from there you must assume Omar to be lost, a sinner without Christ as his savior, and as of now, not chosen by God for eternal life in Himself.

Now knowing that Omar had some kind of teaching (enough to keep him deceived about his eternal state) I asked him to listen to what I would say to others. It goes like this: Are you a good person?, have you ever lied?, have you ever stolen?, have you ever blasphemed God's name?, have you ever looked on a woman with lust?. So it was yes to all of them, even murder! Omar would you go to heaven or hell if God judges you based on those commandments. Hell of course right? You see Omar you transgressed an eternal law made by an eternal being so your judgement will be eternal. If you don't believe me look at Revelation 21.8. Thats a good start.

Omar is getting it, he has understanding without great command of English.
I told Omar about the Cross Christ shed His blood, and the legal transaction that takes place when Christ opens your mind to His word to cause repentance and trust in Him alone for salvation. His own Father punished Him more than any man could, He was crushed as to powder. Christ bore the sins of those that would come to Him and became sin on their behalf therefore taking on the sins as a sinner without any sin in Him. He became sin but was not a sinner at anytime. At the very moment He took on sin He gave to us (the repentant) His righteousnes. We are not righteous, He is, and it is His righteousness that His Father sees on us that makes us His child, His redeemed. Although Christ never sinned His Father looked on Him as though He did! The eternal Father had to punish the perfect Lamb of Himself to accept wretched vile undeserving filthy worms like us and in Christ God now looks on us without our perishing. God cannot tolerate sin. In Christ we are now worthy to go to the Father.
2Cr 5:21
He made Him who knew no sin {to be} sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Omar understood and thanked me. All I did was to deliver the message of eternal life, the Holy Spirit must do the Hard work to regenerate a dead man.
So what about the oranges Ron?

Omar was so thankful that he gave me a bag of oranges. Oranges that came from a seed that God made, that was planted by hands that God made, that grew to a tree with the help of water and minerals that God made then picked by hands that God made, bought by a trucker who heard the Gospel. Christ is the Gospel because the Gospel is the good news and there is only one really true good in anything that exists and that is Christ, the good news.



So there you have it, oranges for my lunch. GOOD oranges God Made for me.
Well, maybe the last ones aren't so good, I think they are bitter that God made them.

Better to Give


Once I was done at the truck stop tonight I started thinking.
Acts 20:35 says that giving is better than receiving. I never actually thought about it as giving something for which Christ died. Give the life message of the Gospel to as many people as you can muster up. Giving money is nice but giving eternal life messages is even better.
This evening was one that my brain had no desire to go out to the truck stop. I didn't even want to talk to anyone. The house was warm and it wasn't outside. Ron! you have to go.
Christ went, Paul went, Peter went, James, John, Matthew and on and on and on. So I went.
So again after dragging my butt out the door into the truck and out to the truck stop, I came back with gladness in my heart. Christ gave His life and all I did was go to the truck stop. Wow, I think thats a good trade.
The very first truck I approached I was able to converse with them. A husband and wife team who listened intently to everything I had to say. An ex preacher who was tired of "the game". Then Justin, a 38 year old employee at the stop who was into preterism. By the time our conversation ended preterism was not even blip on his radar.
I only put tracts on about 100 trucks. There was no way I had the stamina to hit all 300+ tractor trailers. It's sad to think that there were many more truckers who would talk to me but never will. The Lord has His ways through the obedience of His chosen people who get tired. Christ had to sleep and eat so I have to think in those terms. Not everyone heard the message of Christ, so not every trucker heard the Gospel tonight.
Praise God for kicking me in the butt through His word. He died for many so I would practice obedience. Go hard or go home says the song. Well I went hard then I went home.

Truck Stop Night and Way of the Master

Reminder to truckers of the risk of death. Your never too far from eternity without Christ. Never assume you know what tomorrow will bring. God has set the number of days for you to live and then the judgement. It is appointed to us once to die then the judgement. Let me be clear, don't think that God has forgotten you, he knows who you are and will not let the guilty go unpunished. But to those that call on His name will be saved.
Christ called on a few truckers this evening and they understood the Gospel message of Hope and the Gospel message of destruction.
I talked to Frank who had his own message for me: I don't think I'm going to heaven or hell, Im going to be here on earth and do just fine because I like women! His next statement was just as foolish: If there are women in heaven then why did the nephilim need to come and cohabit with the women on earth? What would you answer Frank? What would satisfy a person with a question like that. With some experience from the streets and an little Bible wisdom and Way of the Master you would know what to say. My first words out of my mouth were "do you think you're a good person?" As soon as I started into the Law he was as dumb. Please fellow street evangelist, don't follow rabbit trails. Get to the message as soon as you can, not even you know where the wind may blow or what tomorrow will bring. Chit chat may be your demise. the longer chit chat continues the more time for a phone to ring or a change of mind could occur in the chit chat. GET TO IT!
This part is for Timothy Shead from Holly Springs Mississippi. You know the Gospel now but you thought you knew it before our conversation. Listen up, God sends those to hell who transgress His Law. Christ brings those to Himself who live righteously. We can't live righteously unless we are IN Christ. We can't live IN Christ unless He allows our eyes to see our ears to hear and He turns our heart of stone into a heart of flesh. You will hate sin and run from it. You will love Christ and bow at His feet and call Him Lord. You will hate what He hates and love what He loves. These things are found only in the His word, the Bible, the scriptures. Read first John to find out the birth marks of a Christian then beg Him for mercy to save your soul.
By the way Christian brother, I didn't even make it through one row of trucks tonight. There are over 300 trucks out there. This labor field is vast and ripe for the harvest.


Rev 14:15
And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe."

Prostitution and Possible Fruit

This is the american sign a lot of truckers have on the driver side of their trucks. The text is usually not part of the sign itself. This is what prostitutes see out there at truck stops which is where I was last night.
I thought when I arrived and started passing out tracts that I wouldn't even get a nibble of conversation. The weather was cool to cold and not much movement compared to other nights. Praise the Lord that my feelings of the kind of night it would be doesn't count. God had people for me to talk to before the foundations of the earth were formed by Christ Himself. The very first person that would let me talk to him was a Christian from Minnesota. He had a lot to say and was glad to hear his testimony. Like my brother Byron he attends an EFree church. They are typically ok to good churches but you have to make sure where the elders heads are doctrinally. The next person I talked to claimed to be Catholic. Although as he was getting out of the truck he claimed he wanted to go eat. Over 30 minutes later and after his partner showed up both were given the clear message of the Gospel. Both had a lot of bad luggage in their brains from past churches. I made it clear to them to read and believe only the scriptures alone. As we were coming to a close both asked me to pray for them. I did. My prayer didn't include generalities and hope that God would improve their lives, NO WAY. My prayer to God was that He would open their eyes, ears to allow them to understand the scriptures. To understand the scriptures to the point of salvation. That they would know that in the mean time the wrath of God abides on them daily and Revelation 21 is their destination if they chose to reject the Gospel of Christ. I prayed for them to fall on their knees and beg for mercy, cry out to Him who can destroy both soul and body. I prayed that they would be saved even tonight.
They both thanked me for all that I shared with them then I went to the next truck.
The man sitting in the next truck watching all this unfold was listening to John MacArthur on KCBI. A little ways away I saw a woman (prostitute) walking about 20 yards from me. I kind of pulled a mini bolt in my step to get to her. I was already handing out a tract to her when she caught me by surprise! She made it clear she was ready for anything but conversation by showing me a packaged "deflated balloon". I said no thank you but she took my tract. After trying to coax her into a conversation she slowly walked away. I'm sure she found another fool out there last night. A little sex for a little desease equals transgressing the 7th commandment.
I was able to talk to one more guy from Oregon who said his wife and his friend were working on him to be saved. He understands with more clarity why he needs to repent, and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. Another thank you and on to more trucks.


Hbr 11:31
By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient,

If only she would've listened, maybe she would've believed.

Gospel to the Truckers

Praise the Lord! He has given me the nudge to try out the local Pilot truck stop at 170 and 35w. I've had it in the back of my mind for a while to do this but I didn't feel like it was my gifting. You know, I have no education beyond a few college courses. No one at any church I attended had a seminar on "truck stop evangelism". And besides who am I to think I could do such a ministry that only great men of God are suppose to do.

So here I am on Wednesday evening not attending a Wednesday night service of any kind thinking to my self, Ron you idiot, do something!

Oooh, I thought, why not do what scholars do, go proclaim the Gospel! Not only that, but go proclaim it to the truckers, at night, when they are watching tv, or when some are on the internet watching P**N, or interupting them in the middle of adultery with a hooker! PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL to SINNERS! I know most pastors would do the same.

That's what I did. No, I didn't interrupt adulterers in the act but, I interrupted adulterers, murderers, blasphemers, coveters...

I interrupted a conversation of 3 men talking outside their trucks. Two of them took my tracts and the third didn't after I told him what it was. I told them I was a minister of the Lord and I'm am proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After hem hawing around about worldly conversation I started my conversation. Two of them said they were hungry (IHOP is right there too) and the third kept talking to me. Ken from Mississippiiiiiii had a few question and we parted as friends. I talked to a Chris who I interrupted while he was talking to a friend in his truck. He opened his window, I reached up high to hand him the tract and told him I was out here talking to men about the Gospel and I needed 5 minutes of his time to explain it to him.

By the time I was done it was about 15 minutes and I didn't realize it but the friend left when he knew I wasn't going to shut up anytime soon.

I talked to a few others, one knew he was going to fry in hell because there was no fishing in heaven. I told him based on that conclusion, fishing is god to him and he will fry in hell unless he repents and God does a miracle of salvation in his life.

Praise God for His mercy and grace on my soul. Praise Him for His Spirit to nudge me out after working all day when it's so comfortable in the house. Praise His Holy Name, Praise Him in the morning, Praise Him in the evening, bow down and worship Him.


Psa 69:34
Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.

Open Air in a Muslim Nation! Blog from "Faces Like Flint"

I thought this was interesting to post it here, what do you think. Should these guys make friends first with their Muslim neighbor or coworker. Their are those in the anti-open air camp who would pass judgment on these men while doing nothing themselves to further the Gospel locally. The men below say there is no better way to spread the Gospel other than open air.

Open Air Preaching in a Muslim Nation!
Submitted by Sirrod in WAKE UP!, Faith Benchmarks, Evangelism
Faces Like Flint is extremely excited to present the following interview with David, a Christian brother serving in the Muslim nation of Turkey.
ABOUT TURKEY: According to Patrick Johnston’s Operation World, “Turkey remains the largest unreached nation in the world.” On the field estimates say that there are fewer than 3,000 known believers . In fact, Turkey has a larger percentage (99.7%) of Muslims than Saudia Arabia (93%). To be a Turk is to be a Muslim, so people who follow Jesus are threatened, intimidated and can be rejected by their families. There is a deep seated hostility towards Christians – who are identified with foreign invaders who invaded the Turkish empire during the crusades.
FLF: David, thank you for your willingness to be interviewed! We are encouraged by your boldness to share the Gospel brother!
David: Praise God; it’s a privilege to be here in Turkey at this time in history.
FLF: You and I have never met personally, but we did connect when I handed over the reigns of http://www.kutsalkitap.org/a number of years back. Tell us about that website and how God is using it in Turkey?
David: Turks have taken to the Internet like ducks to water. A year or two ago, DSL was introduced on a large scale, which has massively increased the number of people who are “connected” all day long. Internet users in Turkey tend to be youth, students, or the educated classes—all of which tend to be among the most open to the gospel here in Turkey. Add to that the fact that many Turks prefer to learn about Christianity anonymously (for fear of what others might think), and you quickly realize that the internet really is ideally suited for evangelism in Turkey.
Kutsalkitap.org was one of the first Christian websites in Turkey, but thankfully we can now say that there are well over 50. We’re using Google Adwords to offer free Christian books, all from kutsalkitap.org, which brings in a lot of traffic. These days we’re averaging about 300 people per week who request a free Christian book or NT through our web advertising.
FLF: It seems like a year or so ago I first saw that you were open air preaching in Istanbul. I remember printing off your newsletter and sharing it with some workers heading to Turkey. I was shocked that anyone would be so bold! Tell us what prompted you to evangelize this way?
David: There have been huge legal changes in Turkey in the past few years, as they try to convince Europe to invite them to join the European Union. Two years ago they came out with a new law that gives 1 to 3 year prison fines to anyone who tries to stop someone else from sharing their faith(!). On the day the new laws came into effect, the headlines of a major newspaper read, “Missionary activity is not a crime, but a right.”
We felt that God wasn’t allowing these things to happen for nothing; he wanted us to stop being silent and begin “making the gospel an unavoidable issue” in Turkey (a phrase I’ve stolen from the Jews for Jesus mission statement).
FLF: Can you tell us about the first time you open aired? How did you draw a crowd? How big was it? Did you have hecklers?
David: We started by inviting Mickey Walker to come and teach us how to do sketchboard evangelism (see picture). Mickey lives in Dublin and has been doing street preaching for decades. If you’ve ever used a sketchboard, you know how well they work at drawing a crowd. Our first one was near a busy outdoor market, and we quickly had 30-40 people listening. Afterwards we had one guy try to tell us it was illegal and that we had to leave, but a guy in the audience stepped up and defended what we were doing, effectively silencing the other guy. We found out later that the guy from the audience who defended us was a leader of a protestant church 12 hours’ drive away in southern Turkey who just happened to be in Istanbul that day—a real miracle!
FLF: What are the major adjustments you have had to make since that first time?
David: Mickey used the cross symbol in the sketch, which often reminds people here of the Crusades, so we’ve dropped that. We also assign a person to take down the sketchboard immediately afterwards, since if someone starts getting really angry, we need to be able to pack up and leave quickly!
FLF: What is the worst persecution you have seen? How have authorities treated you?
David: This past September we were attacked by some fascist thugs who punched us and even used a long stick/club to beat us as they chased us out of the downtown area after we’d preached there. One brother got a bloody nose, another had a huge black eye, others had various bruises on their bodies from the stick. The authorities, thankfully, have almost never prevented us from sharing our faith, even though no doubt many of them would rather not have to deal with religious types like us.
FLF: Open air preaching, while exciting, is one of many overt evangelism methods. Tell us about the other methods you use?
David: we hand out tracts often, but we do it “mobile,” that is, we hand them out as we walk, instead of just standing in one place. This way, if one of the people who take a tract gets angry, it’s much less likely that they’ll turn around and try catching us as we walk the other way. We also use short-term groups to do evangelistic pantomimes, or music, or just walking up to strangers and starting conversations with them. We, and others, have tried sports evangelism and “kindness” evangelism, but we haven’t seen anywhere near the fruit as we have from good ol’ open-air preaching.
FLF: Are their any Turkish brothers and sisters using these methods? How receptive have Christian Turks been to using these methods in general? Any resistance?
David: Those Turkish brothers who have joined us have really enjoyed it; one in particular has become quite a fanatic—handing out tracts to almost everyone who crosses his path! We haven’t yet had the opportunity to have a Turkish brother do the open-air preaching (with a sketchboard), though some have expressed interest; maybe this summer?
Of course there are the naysayers, but they have been surprisingly silent, at least we haven’t heard too many complaints. I think it’s because they can’t deny that Turkey’s legal situation (re: religious freedom) really is changing, and that new methods need to be tried. The biggest complaint is that they think there are better “methods” than the ones we use, but these sort of people are usually the type who never end up finding that “perfect” evangelistic method, and therefore do little or no evangelism themselves.
FLF: Could you explain to us the importance of using the Law in evangelism in Turkey?
David: Turkey has very few consistent atheists. Even the socialist types who hate Islam still somehow acknowledge that there’s a god out there. So using the law works really well with many of them. In a Muslim context, it has the added benefit of sidestepping the traditional “religious” issues (Christianity vs. Islam, the Bible’s been corrupted, Jesus couldn’t be the son of God, etc.) and getting right to their own conscience.
FLF: We often hear arguments against the use of the Law from those that think “loving” people into the kingdom is more effective. (Example: “Don’t talk about, sin, righteousness and judgment to come… just tell them about ‘God’s Love’ brother.”) What arguments do you hear from other workers? How do you answer them?
David: Yes, we get the same here, especially from other missionaries. But they have a hard time proving that any one method is more effective than another, since really hardly any method has been really effective in Turkey so far. We also hear the “shame-guilt” argument, namely, that Turkey is a shame-based culture, and therefore appealing to guilt (“you’ve broken the law and will have to pay the penalty”) doesn’t resonate with them. To me it’s not a huge issue, because I think you can use the Law in a way that appeals both to people’s sense of guilt and to their sense of shame.
FLF: How has being bolder in evangelism affected your walk with the Lord?
David: It’s been great! I think I’m praying and fasting more as a result, I find more motivation to live a holy life, and my thoughts tend to be on “things above” (Col. 3:1) much more often (persecution is also a great help in this area). In fact, it’s a great help in battling temptation! When I walk down the street with tracts in my hand, instead of noticing how beautiful the scantily clad woman is walking toward me, I ask myself, “is this someone to whom I should give a tract?”
FLF: Scenario… I have been reading Faceslikeflint.com, I know I should share my faith but I am paralyzed by my fear of man. Do you have any advice for me?
David: Find a brother who also wants to overcome his fear of witnessing, and agree on a time (each week, each month, etc.) when you’ll go out evangelizing together. This sort of accountability and scheduling makes it more difficult not to do it. Then, as time goes by you’ll get more comfortable doing evangelism, and you’ll find that you’ll begin sharing your faith even when you’re alone.
FLF: Thanks for taking the time to write to us brother. May the Lord richly bless you as you boldly proclaim the Gospel!
David: Amen! Thanks for the encouragements.

John Travolta's Problem: From Christian Research Network



These are just a few famous people giving millions to Scientology. What a waste!
Here is an intersting article on Scientology. From the little I know about the cult, they know how to ruin your life if you choose to "expose" them. When we went to Evagecamp 2008, we met with some who were protesting outside the Scientology local headquarters in Buffalo, NY.
They were an erie bunch of kids who felt they had to wear masks to so those inside the SIFI building wouldn't video record them for later reference. Indeed those inside the SIFI building were recording them protesting and us witnessing to the protesters. The kid I talked to actually listened to what I was saying and took a Bible from me. It was a good ending because he was trying his best to get away from me.
“You Will Die Like Men”–Testimonial Against ScientologyPublished January 2nd, 2009 by Dwayna in Knowledge of God, Scientology, Scriptural Authority, The Holiness of God, The Law of Sin
“Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.” Isaiah 43:10
Scientology teaches that people can become gods. Still, with the thousands of dollars that John Travolta and his wife have spent on becoming “Thetans”, John Travolta said today was the “worst day” of his life because of his son’s death. [source: CNN]. Apparently, Thetans are not omnipotent after all. L. Ron Hubbard taught that when a soul is “ready to expire” he or she is simply “ready to be recycled” in the “nearest maternity ward” to come back through reincarnation. You would think that with all the time and marketing the Travoltas have invested in Scientology, they could have gotten more for their money. Yet, the price for following “the prince of the power of the air” is never cheap.
The Bible gives the following warning to imaginary Thetans:
“Nevertheless, you will die like men…” Psalm 82:7
For more on the beliefs of Scientology (including healing rooms, rooms where people sit in silence staring at one another, and rooms where people sit across from each other barking like dogs), go to my article …Inside the Corridors of Scientology.

LeCrea to the Bud Light Christian

Okay you over 40 crowd, this blog is about the music being written by Christians in the category of Hip Hop. Confession #1, I like it! Scream all you like. Yes, you can ask why. It is simple and here is why.
Step back more than a two years ago when I first began doing street witnessing. You know, the type of witnessing that our Lord did at least 80% of the time during His ministry here on earth before we murdered Him on the cross. As I began street witnessing, Christ initiated a transformation in my thoughts and actions to have a NO COMPROMISE type of worship. Everything that I did needed to be done as though it was done for Him. That is what worship is! It is confessing Him to be the Lord of everything, at all times, and in all places. He is the Lord of my life and He should be the Lord of your life as well.
When you get to the point where you are able to talk about Christ to anyone, at anytime, and anywhere, its at that time your chains fall off. What chains, you may ask? The chains are those that prohibit and cause Christians to squash the living word of God by not proclaiming Him to sinners at will. I was a pew Christian, a games Christian, a football Christian, Sunday School Christian, a Christian seminar Christian, but not an open your mouth and proclaim the Gospel Christian. Because Christ is alive in me, I am able and obligated to proclaim to all people at will that Jesus Christ can live in them too!
This is the reason why Christ came to earth! He came to proclaim Himself!! Since He is not present bodily now, all Christians have been given a command to continue the work He started; to proclaim Jesus Christ as Sovereign, Lord and Savior to repentant sinners.
If you are a Christian, or you claim to be a Christian to others, then you should be living as though nothing else matters except the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed to those that have a pulse.
Proclaim the Gospel if you proclaim yourself to be a Christian. Do not proclaim yourself to be a Christian if you do not proclaim the very Person that is suppose to live within you. Are you in Christ? If not, you are in sin. If you are in sin, then Christ is not in you, and you do not have a reason to proclaim Christ. Do you understand what I mean? Christ should be closer to you than your wife (and I bet you tell others about your wife). You should be even more vocal in regards to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The chains of fear about speaking to man about God is what has fallen off, and so has every other excuse not to witness. Worshipping God in the true sense is leaving the bird's nest of the church walls to be free in God to demonstrate the sin every person has within themselves. If you have a mouth, God has given you the ability to proclaim His word to anyone. Do it man! Cut the chains yourself, free yourself in Christ. Proclaim Him as Lord to the city where you live. This is the only way you can be transformed. You may be looked at as a fanatic. If that is the case, I say praise God!!
*************************************************************
Back to what I was saying regarding hip hop.
Maybe I needed to get used to the sound of hip hop, or the looks of the men singing it. True. But what they are proclaiming in their songs fits right into street witnessing. It is the Gospel! For instance, the songs "Go Hard or Go Home," and "Don't Want to Waste My Life," have incredible lyrics. Feast your eyes on this meat: "We are created for Him/ outta the dust he made us for Him/ Elects us and He saves us for Him/ Jesus comes and raises for Him/ Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser/ He made us so we could bless Him and to the world we confess Him/ resurrects Him/ so I know I got life/ matter fact better man I know I got Christ/ if you don't' see His ways in my days and nights/ you can hit my brakes you can stop my lights/ man I lost my rights/ I lost my life/ forget the money cars and toss that ice/ the cost is Christ"
And: "Livin' n driven/ given a vision/ fullfillin the commission He handed us London to Los Angeles And: "I gotta back pack full a tracts plus I keep a Johnny Mac" So are you ready to jam with us/So let's go, gimme the word an let's go/Persecution let's go/Tribulation let's go/Across the nation let's go/ Procrastination bes go Hung on the cross in the cold/Died for da young and the old/Can't say you never know/Heaven knows how many souls are going to hell or to heaven"
"Your money your singleness marriage talent and time/ they were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine"
/ If He's truly raised to life/ then this news should change your life/ and by His grace you can put your faith in place that rules your days and nights.
These words are hard to come by in the so called Christian genre music and that of KLTY the safe station. We are not called to be safe, we are called for battle--we are to be soldiers of Christ!
Remember Christian, Christ does not save us so we can talk about the weather, football, soccer, new boat, fishing, Texas Rangers, or other temporal things. He saved us to talk to men about Him. Command them to come and tell them what will happen if they do not. Do not apologize and do not agonize (ooh I'm rappin). God's word is eternal! Christ should have a hold on you, not man!
These are some of the reasons why I like some of these Hip Hop songs. Oh, did I mention that the men who write these words live what they sing "brah"?

The Mind of a Homosexual, Youtube, Thought Police

As you can see above I used to have a youtube vid interview of a professed homosexual. Youtube has shown their obvious error by erradicating a very interesting video.
Scotty a self professed homo was more than pleased to let us know what he thought of Christians. If I had left the video with only his point of view youtube would not have even given it a second thought. Because I had both point of views contrasting one another Youtube decided to squash the rights of homosexuals everywhere. How? By not allowing their point of view to be shown. Their policy not only shows the hatred of Christian thoughts, and ideas, but also shows their hatred of both homo thought pitted against Christian thought.
Youtube claims open mindedness if you read any of the press until it comes to truth. God's Truth
John 3:19 NAS
"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
