Why Lesbians Hate God

2012-01-16T15:22:00.000-08:00

This Saturday was a description of what one could describe as "Sodom & Gomorrah" I heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words so watch the video and let me know what your thoughts are about what you see and hear.

JUST LIKE A DOUBLE HEADER

2012-01-08T19:40:00.000-08:00

What can I say that I haven’t said before! This 1st Friday and 1st Saturday night of the year was like being at a double header baseball game. On Friday night, the lost came in droves!

We also had many seed sowers these two nights. Here are the names of those who came out to reach the lost. Al, Alan, Brandt his wife Haley, David and his friend, Edwin, Anna and their baby of 14 months in a stroller, Jason and a few of his friends, Joe, Leigh and some of his friends, Matt, Matthew, Mike, Phil, Robert and his young daughter. You should see her approach strangers and offer them a Gospel Tract. And finally Steve.

On Saturday night many heard a message that they had never heard before and accepted the Gospel Tract that explains why they are not good enough to get into a heaven. They now see that their proclamation how they attend church regular, or have accepted or believe in Jesus isn't what God requires, as even the Demons believe in Jesus and they shudder! James 2:19

On Friday night I set up the sign that asks, "If they can prove that they are a Good Person”, they can get a souvenir. Those who think they are, and almost everyone does, they start to hang around. By using a microphone I now stand up on a step stool and bring out the glow-sticks, and ask who would like one, it amazes me how many come forward at once to get one.

For the next couple of hours, by the Grace of God, I'm able to present to many small groups the very reason Jesus came... for sinners. (Matt. 9:13)

Buy asking them just four simple questions;
Ever lied, stolen, sworn using God's Name in vain, or looked with lust? All say they have, but when asked if they would be innocent or guilty the majority say, INNOCENT! What would you say?

But thankfully, some that the Lord shows that have violated His Laws and
are deserving their punishment in Eternal Hell!

Then on Saturday night on Mill Ave in Tempe, Brandt was offering the glow-sticks and a young lady maybe 20, who came up to him in a wheelchair, wanted to take the test. It was heart wrenching to see this young lady, in a wheelchair and on the streets of Mill Ave in raggedy clothes. Even more heart wrenching were her comments about her beliefs!

As he asked her the questions, she tried to justify her lying, stealing and lust. She cut to the chase and told him that she was married, and the guy who was with her is the boyfriend and she is living with him.

Then she made her profession of faith, that she was a Christian and had accepted Jesus several years ago and God understands her situation and God is okay with her living the way she does.

This is when those who claim to be Christians need to understand the 2nd of the Ten Commandments..

You shall not make for yourself any graven images!

In other words, don't create a God in your own mind that whatever you do is okay with that God. The "god", that you create is tolerant of everything you do and would never punish you. But the REAL God, the Just and Righteous God, must punish the Law breakers. Read 1Cor. 6:9-10

So help me out here:
Shouldn't we be bringing the truth to the streets?
Can you see the possibility, that we could reach more of those who are held captive by Satan where they are hanging out, then by trying to bring one or two to church?

The Lord Himself stated, in Mark 16:15, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation, and then again in Acts 1:8,” but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you hall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, (Phoenix) and in all Judea (Tempe) and Samaria, (Scottsdale) and even to the remotest part of the earth." (A little humor with the the towns in the parentheses)

He commands us to GO reach out to the lost, not stay at the Temple! Why not come out on the next 1st Friday night and be the one who answers His prayer. Luke 10:2 "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

Experience the joy of knowing that you are being an obedient servant for the Lord.

John 15:14 " You are my friends if you do what I command you." and in John 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. Catherine suggested that you may also want to read John 14:21.

JACOB TAKES OFF HIS ROSEARY BEADS

2011-12-18T18:38:00.000-08:00

Saturday night was quiet, as I think most of the students whent home to be with family. It seemd like the parents of the students where out with them as most of those who passed by were in groups of 4 or 5, with what seemed like parents and their teenage children.
After several open air encounters someone in each group wanted a free glow-stick. The first group who took the test, 4 young ladies, ended up leaving before hearing the Good News, except one young lady who was convicted by what she heard. She thanked me for sharing with her as she goes to church but never heard it explaiined this way.

Joe, one of our sowers, asked her how did this message of looking at God's Ten Commandments applied to her effect her? She almost had tears in her eyes when see stated she was devasted and now understands what it means to REPENT of her sins, and just saying you believe in God wouldn't be enough.

Sad to say the other three groups who stopped also were pulled away, by the parents who were with them. When they heard that their child, children, were "Liars, Thieves, Blaspehmerys, and Adulteries at heart, one parent stated that thier child never would swear, using God's name in vain, that her daughter knew better then to do that. Yet when I comfronted her with that question, asking her to be honest before a Holy God the young girl admitted she had, several times.

It is sad to see the parents drag these kids away from hearing the whole truth. It's sad that all they want to believe is that their kids are good, and yet even the parents are not good as God see's us. This is Satan at his best, deceiving others in this world to think that no matter what they do, the preaching is, that God is love and He would forgive them.
Well this time it was Jacob who was willing to take the test to get a glow-stick for what looked like his girlfriend.

This young man was wearing a black beaded rosary beads around his neck against a bright red shirt. There were 2 younger girls and what appeared to be a mom with them. You should have seen how difficult it was for him in front of his piers, to answer four of the Commandments. He laughed about lying, he put his head down about stealing, stated how everybody swears, but when asked about lust and what Jesus said it was the same as adultery, he started to blush, with head down and said it was hard not to.

He admitted to being guilty, but when I asked where would God have to send him, Heaven or Hell, both he and, (I'll call her mom) stated at the same time Heaven! I asked how could hat be? They both said, "because God is a loving God". That's when I try to explain about breaking man's Law, what would a just Judge do and again mom says, Heh! we have to go, and they all left.

A little while latter Joe offered to buy me an ice cream at Sparky's which is right next to where we do our open air. Jacob and his family were inside and that's when I called his name out and told him to watch the silver napkin holder where I make a coin having the Ten Commandments on them appear. He was amazed and so was his girlfriend. She asked if I could get her one, and I did. That's when I explained about the 2nd Commandment about not having any Idols.

At this point he picked up the cross hanging on his neck and kissed it. Telling me how much he loved God. Again I asked him to read the 2nd Commandment as we are not to have any Idols. That's when I asked what did the black beads mean that were all around his neck.
Do they represent Mary, that you pray her prayer 10 times, then 1 Our Father, and then again 10 times the Hail Mary? He then asked how did I know that, and I told him I used to do the same thing, as I was raised Catholic and believed like him and that's what we are supposed to do.

I then asked him if he heard that Mary was crying her eyes out in Heaven because everyone was praying to her instead of her One and only Begotten Son Jesus the Christ. I gave him some more tracks and asked if he would read them as it may help him understand.

Now comes the amazing part , Brandt was doing an open air when Jason came by again. As he listened to what Brandt was saying, I noticed he was not wearing the black rosary beads anymore. I can only surmise that the Lord had opened his eyes and he understood the truth.

Prayers for Junior after hearing the whole truth!

2011-12-14T19:56:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday night was quiet. One of the several times I was offering a glo-stick for a prize to those who pass by, who could answer the question, "what was the original color of Coca Cola"? A man named Junior, who was with 2 young girls shouted out, "CLEAR". I thanked them for taking the time to answer but stated I'm sorry that's the wrong answer. I then encouraged them to continue to guess as I told them that there was no limit on how many guesses they could have. With that the girls started to shout our more colors. The youngest one shouted out, "GREEN". That's when I told her she had the correct answer and come and get her prize.

Seeing that they were young, the one who answered correctly was about 10 and the other who was her sister was about 13, I asked the man who was with them if he was their father, he said no that he was their uncle.

That's when I asked if he would come to me and help with getting the prize for his nieces as I thought they were to young to answer the next question. He did and I proceeded to walk him through the GOOD PERSON test.

He was very direct with his answers and didn't try to justify or minimize his sins as most people who take the test do. After each question about lying, stealing, Blasphemy, and lust in his heart, he would look at his niece's and then his head would bow down, as he said ,"YES"

When I asked if he would be innocent or guilty in reference to breaking God's Laws he immediately answered guilty! When I asked him where would God have to send him, Heaven or Hell, he put his head down and pointed to the ground.

Amazing how most who take this test have a difficult time using the word, "HELL." As I said he was very direct with his answers and when I asked if that concerned him, he stated, "YES". I then asked if he knew what God did for him so that he wouldn't have to go to Hell? He now raised he head and looked at me and stated, " He died on the cross".

That's when I ask who the he is, is it "Mohamed who died on the cross? " That's when he said no, Jesus. I then asked so based on what you just said all mankind is going to Heaven? Now with a twisted look on his face he said, "NO", that wouldn't make sense. That's when I asked what did he need to do now?

He shrugged his shoulders and said no. That's when I mentioned REPENT, that it was Jesus Himself who said in Luke 3: 3,5 that unless you repent you will surely perish! I explained that it meant to having remorse, regret, a Godly sorrow for causing Jesus to go to cross. He stated he hadn't done that hearing that way made him feel guilty about what he had done. I asked if he would like to do that now and again he starred at his niece's and stated that he wasn't ready yet, but would think about what I said. He then put his hand out to thank me for getting him involved in the conversation.

I told him I would pray for him to ask the Lord tonight before he goes to sleep that he would ask for the Lord to reveal himself to him and to act on what he hears. As he was leaving he took another tract that we hand out, "Are You Good Enough To Go To Heaven?"

Saturday Night on Mill Ave in Tempe 11/27/11

2011-11-27T08:09:00.001-08:00

WOW! Tonight we had in one place more of those who are concerned about saving the lost then we have had for a while. It must have been a blessing to the Lord as we all gathered in a circle and prayed that our message would go forth to the lost of this town and beyond.
Those who showed up were, Edwin, Anna and their baby in a stroller, Rob Roy and Tammie, Phil and Jessica, Tim, Katlyn, Sean and Mia, Cole, Leigh, Alan, Al, Marcus and Alex. After praying we split up to cover several corners so that we could be more effective reaching out to the crowds.

Offering the free glo-sticks still seems to be effective, as I was able to do several open-airs to those who stopped by to receive one.

Above is the banner I hang up at the Post Office to draw their attention

One that comes to mind was 3 young sisters. I asked how old the one was and she said 16. All 3 professed to being, a "Good Person". I noticed that they were with a mature couple but the couple continued walking to the corner as the children came back to were I was. As I asked the questions that Jesus used to the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18, a few of God's Ten Commandants. We need to be careful not to share with the lost a man centered message that makes people feel good about themselves. instead we need to use the Words that Jesus Himself used to help others understand what being GOOD is.

After asking a few of the questions, I turned my attention to that corner and shouted out, "are you their father?" He nodded yes, and that's when I stated that he should be here with his daughters, as it wasn't right for them to be talking to a perfect stranger without him watching over them. He just stood there turning his head from side to side.
Well now the 3 of them admitted to lying, stealing, and taking God' name in vain. I asked how would God find them, innocent or guilty, because of that behavior, and they stated; guilty. Then came the tough question; "Where would God have to send them if that were true?" Now their chins fell into their chests and without a word they pointed towards the ground. I can't tell you many times that has happened, as those who have heard about Hell have a very difficult time saying it.
At that point I noticed Dad right next to them, as I know he could hear me from where he was standing, as the sound from the microphone I use is loud. This is when he tried to protect them, as he grabbed the arm of one, and said let's go.

That's when I stated that this is what he and his daughters need to hear and they should not leave. (Can you believe it they stayed) I now asked the important queston; "Does that concern them that they may be headed for Hell? "
I was grateful that they said, "YES" as now I knew that they understood. That's when I shared with them what Jesus did for them, as well as for the rest of us who can't pass the Good Person test.

Once we understand and admit that we rightly deserve Hell and that Jesus' death on the cross is the only payment acceptable to God for our sins. He took the punishment for our sins by shedding His blood, dying a horrible death on that cross, then three days later He rose defeating death. Now if we REPENT, turn from our sins, having a Godly sorrow, remorse, regret, then place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone. (Luke 3:3) Our dirty slate will have been wiped clean, remembered no more. It's not what we do but what He has already done for us. (Eph 2:8-9) IT'S FINISHED!

So I give thanks to the Lord on High who allowed that message to be heard by that family who was just passing by and stopped to get a glo-stick, as well as to all those who may have heard it on the corner of 5th & Mill Ave n Tempe AZ.

Please Pray for Amanda

2011-11-13T16:39:00.001-08:00

Please pray for a young lady, Amanda, as she believes that Mahatma Ghandi is in Heaven. I met her Sat nite on Mill where she was handing out flyers to help encourage those on Mill to go to a certain bar. When she approached me she stated, "Oh your doing the same thing that I am ! " I said I don't think so as I'm handing out Gospel Tracts so that everyone I meet will know why they need a Savior.

(You do realize that those who had out these flyer's get a fee if someone shows up at the bar with their flyer's. I wonder how many Christians knowing they would be compensated for handing out the Word of God to perfect strangers would be anxious to do so without fear)

This one is about "Which Religion is Right? " She then thanked me for doing that as she too believed in God. But when she looked at tract and she saw all the different religions she proclaimed that they were ALL right. I asked how can that be when they all proposed a different way. They all required that you work or earn your way to Heaven.

Only one states you are saved by Grace. That's when she got a little aggetated with me stated how could I believe that, when God is love and wants everyone to go to Heaven. That's when I asked her if she thought that the people who flew the planes into the World Trade Center are in Heaven? She didn't think so. That's when she brought up Mathadi Ghandi, stated, "Look at all the good things he did, you can't tell me he's not in Heaven!

That's when I asked her if being good was the criteria, would she qualify? She said YES! That's when I asked her if she would mind answering a few questions using God Ten Commandments to see if that were true? She agreed and when I asked if she ever lied, she said yes, I asked what do they call people who lie....here it comes, she said HUMAN! It wasn't a surprise to me as I get this a lot, most people don't know what SIN is. I explained that she had violated the 9th Commandment. I asked if she had ever stolen anything, again she said YES, and called herself a thief. I asked had she ever cursed in anger by using God's name, again she agreed.

So then I asked, would a Holy God allow any law breaker into Heaven? She did not respond. I then explained to her the only way is if we admit that we deserve the just punishment for what we did, repent of them, and place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone. His death and resurrection paid the fine that satisfied the Wrath of God that I rightly deserved. That's when I shared with her what Jesus stated "I am the way the Life and no one comes to the Father except through me!"

That's when she got angry and walked away.

Please pray for her and all those like her who have been deceived into thinking that God is only love and because of that He wouldn't send anyone to Hell.

BTW, here's a quote from Mahatma Ghandi acknowledged the inability of his religion to atone for sin. Despite his moral lifestyle and good works, he admitted,

"It is a constant torture to me that I am still so far from Him whom I know to be my very life and being. I know it is my own wretchedness and wickedness that keeps me from Him."

All works-based religions lead to futility and death. It is only in Jesus Christ that sinners can find forgiveness for their sins and deliverance from death and hell.

Young Visitors at ASU

2011-10-29T07:24:00.000-07:00

Watch as these youngsters get to hear something that they did not anticipate!

180Movie Project

2011-10-26T12:50:00.000-07:00

Today was the day that Ray Comfort from the Way of The Master chose to have those who are laborers for the Lord go on the attack and confront 300 thousand college students across the USA, by offering them a free 180movie.com DVD, showing a comparison of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust of abortion in the USA. On the Campus of ASU 20 of us showed up to do our part by coming together to Glorify God by actively confronting the students, faculty, and janitors who passed us by. With all of us spread all over the campus, we were able to give away about 3000 of these DVDs.

1828 Websters Dictionary states confrontation as: The act of bringing two persons into the presence of each other for examination and discovery of truth. In today's culture with worrying about not offending anyone, I wonder how many of you would apply that definition in your life?

One of our sowers David told us how a security guard told him that someone complained that they felt that the way it was being offered was to pushy. By this time we had been there for about 2 hrs.so they probably new what the DVD contained and wanted to find a way to stop us from handing them out. The guard then told him that several of them were being stacked up on tables in the cafeteria. He was nice enough to ask David if he would like to have them and that he would get them for him.

When he came out of the cafeteria, with a pile of them in his hands, I noticed David was busy sharing with someone else so, I went over to him to thank him for being so kind, going out of his way to help us.

I then asked if he would like one but he refused. I then said to him how would
he know what they were complaining about if he himself hadn't seen what was on the DVD? Wouldn't it be wise for him to know? With that he responded, "good point," took one and said, " thank you" .

Now comes the part that only the Lord could have ordained!

All 20 of us gathered at the large fountain to see if all the DVDs had been given away.

This section has a restaurant, music and tables that the students put up to display whatever they want.

I noticed a very young group of kids about 20 of them, probably from 10-13 years old , all wearing the same colored shirts, and a few middle aged guys wearing the same. I walked up to one man and asked if I could show his kids an illusion?

That's when I showed them that I could make a coin appear from thin air. I told them not to believe it as it's a trick, an illusion and they should examine what they see, as their eyes could fool them. I told them it was a commemorative coin, with the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other. With that statement they all shouted," can I have it! " This is not unusual, because 99% of the time I get a similar reaction. Think about it, another way of reaching the lost! Contact me and I'll teach you how to do it.

I gave it to the one who I thought was the most excited, as most of them raised their hands as well. I then asked if they knew the Commandments? Now there was silence.

That's when I asked for help from my team to come and record this, as I knew the Lord had brought me here to boldly speak about His Righteousness and Grace, and it would be through these children that I would have the platform at this campus to do just that!

2011-10-09T15:39:00.000-07:00

Friday Night at Phoenix Art Fair

I pray that you read this to the end
I pray that you ask the Lord on High to keep us humble
I pray that He continues to encourage us to GO speak to strangers who may be lost on the streets.
I pray that what the Holy Spirit has done in us that you ask Him to do to you as well

Wow, what can I say about Friday night!!! The Lord has shown us a place, just like in Luke 10:2, where the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. But praise God and the Holy Spirit, that last night His prayers are being answered. Again this was an awesome night for the Lord as 100's of Gospel tracts were handed out. Alan, Erwin, Mike, Philip, Steve, and a couple Brandt and Haley, and another couple Jeremy and Tish and their son Joshua, and another couple Marcus and Kat and Alex. How pleased the Lord must be to see all of His chosen in the family going out to reach the lost.

Here are a few of us who went out to eat afterwards to relax and fellowship, at 2am.

These sowers all showed up with one thought in mind, to intentionally confront those who passed by so that they my have the opportunity to witness to those who may be lost. By offering them these Gospel tracts that ask are they "Good Enough To Get Into Heaven", they are being proactive. Remember Jesus didn't wait for others to come to Him, He went out into the streets to reach them...shouldn't we be doing the same if we claim to be a follower?

By using His Ten Commandments we can be assured that it's the Word of God being professed and not a man centered watered down comment that God is love and Jesus wants them to have a wonderful plan for their life!

Charles Spurgeon stated: "I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man's heart until you first send the Law to make way for it."

He was called the Prince of Preachers maybe we should heed what he says?

Paul states in (Rom 10:17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

I pray that some of you, this includes those in leadership as well, give up just 2 hours one Friday night a month to come out and see what the Lord is doing on the streets. Or how about make a commitment just for every other month, you know like when you commit to attending a Bible study. Is that too much to ask to do for the One who sacrificed His life so that you could have eternal life?

He commanded us to GO and share! (Mark 16:15), in (Acts 1: 8),(Acts 10:42) to be His witness. He died not so that we would have a better life, but He died a horrible death to pay the fine for the crimes that you and I and others committed, like lying, stealing, blaspheming, lust to name a few.

His resurrection from the dead 3 days later proved He was God and He warned us that we need to REPENT or PERISH. (Luke 13:3-5)

He performed miracles that drew a crowd to hear His message, we give away these glow-sticks, it draws a crowd and that crowd gets a chance to hear the truth. The glow-sticks are a big hit! It is a non stop request to get one. I can't explain why they desire them but you'll have to come and see for yourself.

You should hear what those on the street say to us when we ask them if they are Good.

It's sad when you hear someone profess to be a Christian and then get offended because you explain what the Bible says about Law breakers. Or to have some Gay people tell you that God is Love and as long as you love, then God is pleased, even if that love is with the same sex partner.

One would have to ask why would someone who professes to being a liar, thief, and an adulterer at heart be offended that a Holy God must punish that person. Didn't the Bible say that Jesus came for the sick and not the righteous? So why get offended? That would be making the statement that you one of the righteous wouldn't it?

So I'll end with another prayer request, the one Jesus ask for us to do for Him, (Luke 10:2)

"The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

Watch on YOUTUBE as Steven takes the Good Person Test and how humble he becomes when he realizes he is not a Good Person in God's eyes.

Spenser Taking the Good Person Test in Tempe AZ

2011-09-14T13:40:00.000-07:00

Watch as Spencer tries to defend his position, knowing partly how to be forgiven and yet hasn't done it.

This man is a stranger who lived in Flagstaff to get his degree from NAU. He now lives here in Phoenix. I ask, according to what Jesus stated about the Samaritan, isn't this man someone that we all should strive to engage the whole truth with ?

In (Luk 10:29-37), But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. "And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. "Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. "But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. "On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."

Notice this was a "priest" who crossed the street, a Levite also crossed the street.

What name would you give those people today?

Is it you?

Jesus showed them who a true neighbor was.

The one who goes out of his/her way to interact with someone in need.

But it's not just about bodily care or financial assistance, it's about saving souls! Notice what Jesus said in (Mat 18:11) For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

So I ask?

Do you avoid those who cross your path?
Do you avoid strangers?
Do you only speak to family, friends, and co-workers?

If you answer yes, then are you not like the parable above?

Charles Spurgeon said, "If you have no desire to save the lost then you are not saved yourself...you can be sure of that."

If you would humble yourself and admit this is a problem for you, I pray that you attend one of the Way of Master Seminars...it could help you become a laborer for the Lord, instead of just a pew sitter, with anyone you come in contact with.

Catherine has made this comment since she has attended the seminar several times which she never could have before :
"I'm a nobody who can share with anybody about somebody who can save anybody"

Wouldn't you for the Lord's sake like to say the same thing?

Prayer Alone???

2011-09-05T10:34:00.000-07:00

If prayer alone is what the Lord wants from those He has adopted into the Kingdom, then why should we go out on the streets like Jesus did to warm them of the impending danger of Hell?

This Saturday night I handed a track to a young lady who immediately stated that she didn't need one because she was a Christian. I then asked her, "why not take it and give it to someone she knows"? She commented, as most who claim to be one, that she doesn't have to because she just prays for them. ?????

Read what Charles Spurgeon had to say about it.

"If you ask God to convert souls, but you will not do anything for those souls; if you ask God to save your children, but you will not talk to them about their salvation; if you ask God to save your neighbors, and you do not distribute tracts among them, nor do anything else for them, are you not truly a hypocrite? You pray, but you refuse to do anything to affect an answer."

- Charles Spurgeon

So is Spurgeon correct? Prayer without action is hypocritical?

What does scripture say?

(Ezekiel 3:18-20) "When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF," you are doing well. But if you show partiality, ("Speak only to your friends & family," my comment) you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. "Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself. "Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

(James 2: 8-26) For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For He who said, "DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," also said, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER." Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.
You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
1John 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
(Jeremiah 42:20) For you have only deceived yourselves; for it is you who sent me to the LORD your God, saying, "Pray for us to the LORD our God; and whatever the LORD our God says, tell us so, and we will do it." (notice it didn't say just to pray)
Those who were convicted 2000 yrs ago did not have the written Word as we do today. Our Lord and Master Jesus the Christ's message has been written down for all who claim Him Lord. So we know what He expects and commands from us.

Psalm 19:7, says the Law is perfect to use,
Mark 16:15, to GO out tell everyone,
Acts 1:8, He tells us to be His witness,
Acts 10:42 commands us to solemnly to testify,
Galatians 3:24, by sharing the Law we can bring the lost to Christ by Faith.

Sept.at the Friday Night Art Fair

2011-09-03T12:06:00.000-07:00

Another glorious night for the Lord, as His prayer in (Luke 10:2), was being answered. Again the streets were overflowing with lost souls just like the hurricane on the East coast produced rivers that overflowed it's banks. Tonight we had many followers who wanted to get out of their comfort zone, and be true laborers for the Lord and not do the typical, just sit home and watch TV.

There was Alan, Alex, Brandt,Catherine, David, Jeremy, Joe, Joshuah, Karen, Kat, Marcus, Steve, and Tish, all who came out to honor the Lord's command. To name a few: (John 14:15), (Mark 16:15), (Acts 1:8). Oh and if you would like to be Jesus' friend as I have heard a song sung in church, then you need to obey (John 15:14).

This night Catherine and I brought our 11 month old granddaughter Addisyn with us. She was such a joy, even the loud speaker didn't prevent her from comfortably going to sleep, so we could stay passed her bedtime.

Jeremy, Tish and their 16 yr son, Joshua ,who just got his driver's license(pray for him), is the perfect example of the Lord's blessing of a Christ following family. It's always a joy seeing them together reaching out to those souls who are less fortunate. Jeremy and his family need our prayers as he is now going to start his own church.

Karen, from North Mountain Church, had attended The Way of the Master seminar that I gave at her church in July and this was her first time out. She told Catherine that she couldn't get over how the people who were taking the Good Person Test stayed and listened intently to the end.
They did not seem to be offended even after they admitted to lying, stealing, lust in public. Yet, she really couldn't understand why those in church do!!!

Of all the years she has been in church she has NEVER seen anything like it taught.This was the first time she saw this kind of interaction with strangers, and admitted she didn't think she could do it. That's when I asked her if she could sew? She said, "Yes". Then I asked was she able to sew perfectly the first time? She, smiled and said, "NO". That's when I explained that I couldn't do what she sees me doing now either...it took practice and desire.

Kat, brought her friend Laura from CA.This was Laura's first time experiencing how we use the Ten Commandments to help the lost understand why they need a savior. She too was enamored about how those who we interacted with responded to our questions.

Brandt with microphone in hand, stepped up on the step stool to reach out to the tide of people and asked if anyone would like a glow-stick. All they needed to do was to admit that they were a "Good Person" and answer a few questions using God's Ten Commandments to see if it weer true. You really have to be here to see how many raise their hands with excitement claiming that they are GOOD.

One of my prayers is that the Holy Spirit would work on the hearts of those who claim Christ as Lord and act as His obedient servant by coming out just to watch how many souls can be reached in just one night. I was told that those of us who go out into the night to reach the lost witness to more people on one night than most churches do in a year. (Can you imagine how many people we are reaching in a year?)

After a while because of the crowds in front of us, Alan went across the street as he saw the banks overflowing there as well. He came back about an hour later extremely excited and announced that he had just given away 700 Gospel Tracts with the Ten Commandments on them. He also had several one 2 one conversations asking them if they had kept the commandments and if not what would a Just God have to do to them. Several seemed to be convicted and pray that the Lord can open their hearts to let the seed that Alan planted take root.

While Brandt was sharing with a group I saw a young lady off to the side staring at him. I asked if she would like to have a glow-stick, she replied, "Yes". I then stated that in order to get one she would have to prove that she was a good person using God's Ten Commandments as the standard. Without hesitation she stated she was a good person and was willing to prove it by taking the test.

Well I won't bore you with what happened next a you know she admitted to lying, stealing, Blasphemy, and lust of the heart. She now realized she wasn't good and she would be sent to Hell if she died then. I asked if she knew what God did for her so that she wouldn't have to go to Hell, and she said, "NO". I asked if she had any religious upbringing, she said some, she was raised Catholic.

I then told her the GOOD NEWS, that only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ our sins are forgiven. No Priest can save her. Just because she confesses her sins to a him...he didn't die for her sins, Jesus did! Then as Jesus states in (Luke 13:3-5), we must REPENT, which means to have Godly sorrow, heart felt remorse, for having caused His Son, Jesus, to be sent as a sacrifice to pay the penalty that I deserved and now she knows she deserves. She would need to ask God to help her hate the sin as much as He does. I then told her she didn't deserve the glow-stick, as she didn't prove she was a Good Person. Now I noticed that her head hung down and I then stated:

(Eph. 2:8-9), For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

I then told her that this glow-stick is a paltry example of what Jesus did for her on the cross and all she had to do was to reach up and accept the free gift. She reached up and then thanked me.

I pray that these stories open your heart to want to go and do something different with your life.
Paul states in (Rom 10:17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
So come out and learn how to speak to strangers.

Saturday Night on Mill Ave inTempe

2011-08-08T22:25:00.000-07:00

Praise the Lord as tonight was exciting as we had laborers for the Lord from both sides of the valley. We had Ken, this was his first time after coming to the seminar that we had on July 30th, who came from Avondale. Brandt &amp;amp; Haleh who live in Queen Creek, Jeremy, Tish and Joshua from Mesa, and Marcus Kat and Alex from Maricopa.

Catherine and I set up the sign asking, "Are you good person, take the test and get a free souvenir" Lately, instead of offering money to answer trivia questions to draw a crowd, I now offer to give away free glow-sticks. I don't get it, what is it about a glow-stick that draws so many groups of people to take the test to get one.

Shortly after announcing that I was giving them away to anyone who can prove that they are a good person, I had 4 young teenagers, 3 guys, and one girl, stop and raise their hands. I asked them if they considered themselves to be a good, which all said yes. I then asked them that I would be asking them some questions to see if it were true. I was not going to use my opinion or the world's point of view, but God's Ten Commandment, would that be okay? I say this to you so that you understand that I don't trick anyone into answering them, I make it very clear how we are going to come to that conclusion.

After they admitted to breaking four of the most common, I asked how did they think God would find them, innocent or guilty? They all responded ,"innocent!" I then asked how could a Holy, Righteous and Just God find them innocent when anyone who breaks God's Law would have to be guilty? They then said they where leaders from Young Life and their God was a loving and forgiving God.

I tried to explain that God was not only a loving God, but a Righteous, Just and Holy God and because of that He must find a Law breaker guilty, or He wouldn't be God. I also mentioned that I hadn't heard anything from them about repentance, Godly sorrow that Jesus spoke about. Again they defended their position that Paul said that they only needed to believe in Jesus and they were saved.

I then asked, saved from what? They already admitted to lying, stealing Blasphemy and lust of their heart, and it doesn't seem like you have any remorse. So if they have been given this information by the church they attend, that your God is a loving and forgiving God, then based on that statement alone, every human being is going to Heaven and no one would be going to Hell. We need to be careful about what we say to those who are lost and not give them a false God to worship.

Jeremy also tried speaking to them as well. If you only speak of God's love and not the Wrath of God then you have created a God that is not the God of the Bible.

I find it sad today as so many who are being raised in the church have been told of a false God, that Jesus, or God is a loving God and now believe that their sins are forgiven.

One problem, Jesus Himself states in several places, Mat 4:17, From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Mat. 11:20, Mar 6:12, Luke 13:3,5, Jesus repeats Himself.

Peter, in Acts 2:38, Acts 17:30, Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.

Revelation has several as well, Rev. 3:3 is one of them.

So where am I wrong?

Tell me if you have been told the same message as these youngsters. Maybe it's time we speak the whole truth to those who are in and out of church!

1st Frdiay Night at the Phoenix Art Fair

2011-08-06T07:59:00.000-07:00

What can I say that I haven’t said before! This Friday night was like any other 1st Friday night where the lost come in droves to stroll up and down Roosevelt Ave in Phoenix. AZ. This gathering seems to be different than when we go out on Saturday nights to Mill Ave in Tempe. They are not walking alone. They come with a friend or several friends. Many are there with their whole families, they even bring their babies in strollers.

Too many times I have been told from the christian community that they cannot come there because they are spending time with their children. Why not come and spend some time with your family, so by example, teach them how to reach the lost?

As I set up the sign that asks if they would like to have a souvenir, if they can prove that they are a “Good Person”, those who are curious start to hang around. Maybe these are what I have heard some churches state that are ,”Seekers”! But those of us who know scripture, that’s not true. They are either lost or saved! When I bring out the glow-sticks, and ask who would like one, these few seekers become a mob.

This night was another blessing for the Lord! He used these glow-sticks like the miracles He performed 2000 years ago. I’m not saying this is just like the miracles He performed, I’m saying the drawing of the crowd is what it must have been like when those who saw the miracles told others and that’s when it became a large crowd.

When I was finished taking the first group of about 20-25 people through the test, another crowd was waiting to answer the same questions. I started about 8:30 and didn’t stop till around 11. I gave the same Gospel message about why they need a Savior. What is so sad is that of the hundreds of times that I have asked the question, would God find you Innocent or guilty to those who admitted breaking just (4) of His Commandments, the majority answer “INNOCENT! “ When I ask how can that be, they tell me that God is loving and forgiving. This is the most popular answer from those who admit not attending a church as well as those who claim to be Christians.

Last night was the worst abomination I have ever seen! I had in front of me about 30 young men and women who claimed that the Lord loves homosexuals. They were constantly trying to explain their lifestyle. Not only were they screaming that at me but one young girl stated that she was attending seminary and was taught that the Bible stated that the Lord loves homosexuals. I hope you can handle this part... two of the men came up next to me and starting kissing each other for about 5 minutes in a very passionate way.

So help me out here

Shouldn't we be bringing the truth to the streets?

Can you see the possibility, that we could reach more of those who are held captive by Satan where they are hanging out, then by trying to bring one or two to church?

The Lord Himself, both in Mark 16:15, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
and in Acts 1:8, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you hall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, (Phoenix) and in all Judea (Tempe) and Samaria, (Scottsdale) and even to the remotest part of the earth."

He commands us to GO reach out to the lost, why not come out on a 1st Friday night and be the one who answers His prayer. Luke 10:2 "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Experience the joy of knowing that you are being an obedient servant for the Lord. John 14: 15. "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

You’ve got to love this!

2011-07-08T22:03:00.000-07:00

Today was another one of those days orchestrated by the Lord. I had 2 appointments this morning that were no shows before 11am. So I tried calling some of my friends to see if they would like to meet. Ans mach on one, ans mach on another. One had just woke up wasn't felling well and needed to be resting, better not to come over. (wise decision) This day happened to be my older sister’s birthday, so I thought I’d give her a call even though I thought she would be out having lunch with her children. Much to my surprise she said she was sitting watching TV, so I asked if we could meet for coffee? I told her I was near PV Mall and asked where she would like to meet and she stated McDonald's.

(I tell you this so that can see how the Lord orchestrated this whole morning, as this was not planned by me.)

About a half hour in our conversation a young boy about 5 yrs old came up to our table and asked what were we doing? ( I later fond out he was autistic) With that my sister stated she was celebrating her birthday with her brother. This cute young boy then said, “ that’s nice!” I was so taken by his boldness to ask a perfect stranger a question that I showed him the appearing coin illusion that I have used for the last 6 yrs. This gets peoples attention in a way that they want the coin which has the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other.

After his excitement about seeing it appear, to my amazement 3 other children a few years older came by and asked if I could do it again with them. This part is awesome, just as I finished giving each a coin, 4 other children came by and wanted it done to them. I now had about 6 or 7 children alongside our table all excited. I then notice that my sister was hysterically laughing, and states that she had never seen so many excited children at her table.

Yes, and the adults that were their got the million dollar Gospel tract. They all thanked me and went back to their separate tables. Well this part should grab your heart, one of the adult ladies came back after a while and stated that she was the young boy’s guardian who came to our table 1st , and that he was autistic, and that I had just made his day!

Talk about being “blessed” ! If I didn’t learn how to make a coin appear out of thin air, how would I have been able to bring such joy to those strange children. The one that touched me was the one with autism. Remember what Jesus said ,

(Mat 18:3) , "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

I can only thank the Lord and the Holy Spirit for providing me with the desire to reach out to anyone about someone who can save everyone, even if it means I might make a fool of myself.

Let your LIGHT SHINE

2011-06-08T14:58:00.000-07:00

I’m sure you have heard this expression, well Friday night at 3rd & Roosevelt Art Fair was the epitome of that expression!

Even a 8 year old named McKayla was able to bring a spark to those she went up to. Twice she stood up on a step stool and through a loud speaker boldly quoted the precious Ten Commands to the crowd.

What came to mind was what Jesus tells us in (Mat 18:3) and said, "Yes! I tell you that unless you change and become like little children, you won't even enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

AL, her father told me later that she had given away hundreds of the million dollar Gospel Tracts, during the two hours out on the street which asks, “Are you Good enough to get into Heaven?” So I guess by what I have been told by those in Church leadership, she has the GIFT of Evangelism. Or maybe she is just being an obedient child who places her trust in her loving father to do what he has shown her to do.

If Jesus is the Lord whom you claim, commands you to go out and share, John 14:15, John 15:14, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8, to name a few, would you not be counted as one of His children if you did?

What come to mind is Mathew 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

Watch as Nicole understand her sin and is convicted and then gives her reason for her entering God's Kingdom... "She can Redeem herself"

Watch as a stream of people who walk by us on Friday night calmer to get a free glow-stick, if they take the “Good Person Test”.

Listen to the excuses of those who attend church on how God is only a loving God and would not punish those who continually violate His commands. Hebrews 10:26-29 tells us differently!

Our culture has been trained to create a God that suits themselves, one that agrees with what they believe, and their god would not send anyone to Hell. There right their god couldn't, because he is just a figment of their imagination, but the true God the Righteous God and the Just God must punish the Law breakers. 1Corinthians 1:6-9

Comments from some who attended the WOTM seminar on 5/21/2011

2011-05-30T11:31:00.000-07:00

The first one is from a 15yr old boy.

I really liked the seminar you guys had. I was really interested how Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron went out on the streets and told people about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. It was so cool I can't wait until I can go on Saturday to Tempe. And also with the bag of The Way of the Master ice breakers, I showed some of my friends what they were and what they are meant for and they liked it as well. Thanks for showing us the videos. See you later.

Sincerely, Forest

Hi Tom, thanks for the reply. Man it was a great day and the impact of it is still sinking into my being. I had some things I had to attend to after the meeting but Lord willing, I would like to go out and join you the next time. I did the good person test on my wife and she was stumped and so I am excited about the whole thing, kind of like being born again for the second time only better cause we have gained in wisdom over the years.

I enrolled in the WOTM School of Evangelism today and spent the afternoon watching past shows of On the Box. The one thing that you mentioned about denying the Lord and having Him deny us before the Father in Heaven resonated with me because there have been so many missed opportunities over the years that are gone due to my own flesh or pride or whatever it was, I simply did not speak up when I should have. I feel like maybe this is the chance to turn my life around and do the work of losing my life for Christ and finding it, rather than saving my life and then losing it later. I hope to get to know you and the others on the team more and just be faithful to the call that is placed upon us. Let me know when you plan on going out okay? Take care, Dave.

Hello Tom and Catherine,
I was extremely tired on Saturday due to only sleeping about two hours the night before. ( A combination of work and teenage son drama... ) That being said, I came away with a newfound hope that even I, a nobody, can positively impact somebody's life for Christ. I have great respect for anyone who witnesses the Good News of the
Gospel on a daily basis. Thank you for your time and efforts. In His
Service, Joe "Deacon"

Drawing a Crowd using Glow-Sticks

2011-05-18T17:49:00.001-07:00

Can you believe that these young girls and a guy would take the time to amswer the Good Person Test, just to get a glow-stick?

Watch, as even after they all get the glow-stick, they stay and listen to the message about why we all need a Savior.

Busy Weekend!

2011-05-10T09:21:00.000-07:00

First, 1st Friday night of the month, Alan, Ronnie, Steve, Marcus, Kat, Jennifer, and Stan came out to 3rd & Roosevelt. Then Saturday night, Al and I went to Mill Ave in Tempe where the same group met us, and Norm joined us with his video camera. As we stood on the corner you get to watch all these people walking by, hundreds of them. For what reason, I know not. What a better place to be to reach the lost then where they are, on the street, just like Jesus did.

Jesus did pray to our Heavenly Father, in Luke 10:2,

"To send more laborers, because the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few."

We try to reach out to the lost in our society by engaging in a conversion about what we know to be true about our final destination and what determines it. One way that has been very successful in reaching out is to give something to them. I've been giving away glow-sticks to anyone who is willing to take the "Good Person Test". Using this approach, I can honestly say that I have spoken to hundreds of people this year.

I'm so thankfull that the Lord brought Ray Comfort to the America to teach us a way on how to reach others about why they need a Savior, Simply, Effectively, and Biblically

I could never imagined that a time would come that I would boldly speak, using a loud speaker, to groups of strangers who pass me by on a populated corner.

· Can you imagine you doing something like that?

· Can you imagine what the Lord Jesus would think of you if you did?

· Can you imagine what our Heavenly Father is thinking about those He has adopted into His Kingdom who have overcome their fears about speaking to strangers?

· Can you imagine how thankful He is that you share with almost anyone who crosses your path about the excruciating sacrifice that He placed on His only Begotten Son, Jesus the Christ?

· Can you imagine all the Angels in Heaven rejoicing because you do? Luke 15:10

Can you imagine, if this could be you?

If you would like to learn how to reach out to others, let me know.

I'm hosting a seminar on Saturday May 21st at North Mountain Church Phoenix

Saturday Night on Mill Ave then Taco Bell in Tempe

2011-04-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

This night was similar to the other nights. Asking everyone if they would like a free glow-stick. To get one all they have to do is prove they are good enough to get into Heaven. It amazes me how many stop to get them, even the men want them. It's in Proverbs 20:6, Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness (KJV)

Al did an open air and the man who came forward to take the good person test walked away when he realized he was guilty before a Holy God. When Al tried to help him understand what he needed to do to be right with God he walked away and gave Al the finger gesture, which is common to those have nothing to say.

You must give credit to Al for taking a risk by speaking to a perfect stranger on how to avoid the pitfalls of Hell. Obviously this man and many others who have their own view of what God is like needs our prayers.

We left our corner around 11 to get a late night snack at a Jack in The Box. Marcus and Kat came by to meet us. We started talking about our Baptism experiences and I shared how one day the Lord provided me the opportunity to Baptize 4 people in one family and 3 of our friends on the same day.

There were 3 young men seated near us and one of them asked if they could ask a question about Baptism. He asked, " is it necessary to Baptize babies?" I asked, "What do you think?" This started about an hour long discussion about Catholicism verses Christianity.

So after many questions and answers by Marcus, Cat, and Al about who our faith is with, their insistence was that:

Babies must be Baptized to cleanse them of original sin
We must speak to Mary for our prayer request as she was born free from sin,(God would not place Himself into a sinners body)
When the Eucharist is offered by a priest, it has become the actual body of Jesus, because the priest has that power to transform it
Holy water was next, again the priest has the power to bless it and make it holy, (I then explained that the only way to make water holy is to boil the Hell out of it... as nothing on Earth is holy only God is Holy)
We must confess our sins to a priest as he has the power through God to forgive us our sins so that we can get into Heaven (Last Rights?)

These 3 men were adamant about what they believed. What made this divine appointment amazing to me was their response to the question I asked, " What was their religious background". The first man stated that his parents were from Saudi Arabia and he was raised Catholic. The 2nd one was raised Catholic as well with American parents, but the most unexpected answer I got was from the man who stated that he was raised as a Muslim, and just recently converted to being a Catholic.

So back to their last statement about confessing to a priest for forgiveness, I asked them a hypothetical question.

If they where told that they were dying, but maybe a doctor could save them, and having only one choice, a doctor or a priest which one would they choose? Immediately without hesitation they stated a priest!

With that answer I explained that they have a false religion, as they are being taught to place their faith and trust in a priest instead of the only One who can save them from the pit of Hell, Jesus Christ. John 14:6 I told them that my answer, as one who has been born again, would be a doctor.

I'm so thankful that the Lord placed these men in my path. I'm also grateful that I was out that night like many other Saturday nights seeking to save the lost. Not only was our message heard by them but as we were leaving Al asked me, "Did I see all the other people in the restaurant standing behind listening to what was being said?" I had not as I was focused on speaking to the men in front of me. He marveled at how many were standing there, drawn to listen about God's Word.

I myself was raised Catholic and was taught to do all the same religious acts that they professed and tried to please God and to also place my faith in priests. Please pray for others like this as the Scripture is very clear, Matthew 7:15, Matthew 24:11, and Matthew 24:24 to name a few.

A busy Weekend!

2011-04-03T18:20:00.000-07:00

Moving into our mobile home on Cave Creek Rd, Phx.
Friday night at 3rd & Roosevelt sharing with hundreds on th street, by giving away Glow Sticks,
Saturday morning I was interviewed by Living Waters radio about why and how to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ from 7-8 am. The link is below.
Saturday night out on the streets at ASU,
Then Sunday morning trying out a Church, North Mountain Church, right across were we live on Cave Creek Rd. When we were filling out the new attendee form I asked Catherine what was today's date, when she replied 4/3/11, I couldn't believe it, as that would mean that 17 years ago today I was made clean, and adopted into the Kingdom of Heaven, being born again!

If you would like to hear my comments on it, I pray that something I say enlightens you as if the Holy Spirit spoke to you directly as was me on this day 17 years ago.
http://blogtalk.vo.llnwd.net/o23/show/1/614/show_1614925.mp3

WOW, Talk about being lead by The Holy Spirit!

2011-03-17T07:46:00.000-07:00

While waiting for traffic to move on Bell Rd, my eye caught a driver just ahead of me to my right waving his hand out his window saying something. I rolled down the passenger side and heard him ask me, "Does conflict of interest apply in the business world?" I heard it but didn't understand really what he wanted and then the traffic started to move. So I shouted back that if he wanted my answer to pull into the shopping center ahead. I got out of my car and approached his passenger window and again he asked the same question. Puzzled, I asked, " Why are you asking me that question and why would you care about my answer?"

He told me that he and his girlfriend, who was sitting in the back with a little baby, were arguing about it as she was working for two different companies who did the same work. He was telling her that it was a conflict of interest and she shouldn't be working for both companies.

Again I asked what made him think that I would be the one to ask? He stated that when he saw me, (you're going to love this) that he thought I looked like a wise man. I was surprised at that answer and then gave him my answer about it.

I replied that I thought that maybe he wanted to speak to me because of my license plate, "IM4GVN", as I saw a fish on the back of his car and wondered did he put it their. He said no as it was their when he bought it. He then asked what did the letters mean, and I told him it meant , "I AM FORGIVEN"

He asked why, " What did I do to need forgiveness?" I told him that I used to think that I was a good person. Then I asked if he thought he was a good person, he said yes! I then asked if I could test that by using God's Ten Commandments to see if tit's true? He said, "sure go ahead"

He admitted to lying stealing, blasphemy and lust. With each answer his head bowed down as if he was sorry for what he had done. I asked how did he think God would find him, innocent or guilty? He said guilty, I asked where would God have to send him Heaven or Hell? Again with his head bowing down, quietly he said, "Hell." (Now is the time to ask the most important question.) Does that concern you? He said, "YEA!"

I then asked if he knew what God did for him so that he wouldn't have to go to Hell?

He then said that he asks to be forgiven, as he remembers being taught that in Church, and tries not to do them again. At that point I asked him did you not say that the lady in the back is your girlfriend and that the baby is yours? Again his head bowed down as he softly answered, "yes" and then said that when I mentioned about lust it really made him think about what he had done.

I then explained that asking forgiveness was not enough that he had to have remorse, regret, Godly sorrow for offending a Holy God. It's called repentance, so that you would hate the sin as much as God does and not do it again. The only thing that could save him was to place his faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone. Once he did that he would receive the Holy Spirit and be born again.

At this point now I'm sure that the Lord had lead me to this man, as he then asked, "Asked me do I teach others?" I told him yes, as I have a free seminar planned for March 26th. He then said that he would love to come to learn.

Please pray for this man, Kim and his girlfriend, as they now have had the opportunity to see themselves as God see's them, not good, (Isa. 64:6)

Though it's not a pleasant experience, it's better to find out now when you still have time to do something about it rather then to have to face a Holy God after you've taken your last breath and have no defense because you tried to get in on you own and that would leave you guilty .

I give thanks to the Lord for sending Ray Comfort to our country and giving him insight on how to teach anyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ how to speak to perfect strangers about their eternal destination.

For the first 8 years of claiming Christ as my Lord I shared only with my immediate family, a few friends, who after giving my testimony told me they were glad that I found something.

I can't remember ever speaking to anyone else who crossed my path. But in the last 6 years after taking The Way of the Master Training, I have interacted with over Ten thousand people! I pray that you would want to be a laborer for the Lord as well. (Luke 10:2) ,(Mark 16:15) (Acts 1:8)

Saturday Night with Catherine

2011-03-14T11:50:00.000-07:00

Catherine & I arrived later than normal on Mill in Tempe, as we were invited to a ST Patrick's dinner and didn't get there until 9pm. I must confess, we found it difficult to head down to Mill after the dinner as we came home to change our clothes. I go often and I had to force myself NOT to stay home and just relax after an enjoyable dinner. We could have found lots of reasons not to go. Al, Alan, Marcus and Ronnie were already there passing out tracts.

Catherine had taken a large handful of the million dollar tracts, about 200, before we left for the dinner and commented that she would like to leave around 10-10:30, as she had a lot to do Sunday and wanted to get up early to get them done. She stated that she probably grabbed too many tracts as she couldn't see how she would be able to give them all away in just an hour.

Time certainly fly's when your having fun and just past 10 Catherine mentioned to me that she only had a few tracts left and couldn't believe how many people passed by her accepting the free gift. Once they take she always pray that they read later and that the Lord would open their hearts. She was extremely excited as she now realized that just being obedient, as she really didn't want to go to Mill so late and to leave early, and yet the Lord blessed her and lifted her spirits as to how successful she was just because she came out to the street.

One young man stopped to asked her about what she was doing handing them out and she told him it was a Gospel Tract and if he read the back it was worth more then a million. He read some of it and then stated he knew Jesus and sometimes went to church. He also spoke of how when he messes up he asks for forgiveness and knows that God is loving and forgives him.

I then asked him how often does he ask to be forgiven and he stated several times a day. I then mentioned that I didn't hear him saying anything about repentance, since Jesus stated in Luke 13:3, that unless you repent you all likewise perish. Paul makes a similar claim in 2Cor. 7:10, For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

At this point he started to explain how he really wasn't willing to give it his ALL, as he liked doing what he was doing and when that day came that he would be willing to give up his life style, he would accept all that Jesus required of him but not yet.

I tried to explain to him that maybe the Lord brought him to us tonight and this is the time for him to humble himself and to repent of his sins, have remorse, regret for offending a Holy God and not do them anymore. To consider asking God to have him hate the sin as much as God does, because you never know when you going t take your last breath.

I asked if he remembered the student who was killed here on campus a while back, he said yes, but just then a young lady came up to him who obviously was intimate with him, snuggled up to him and said lets go. He left with a smile and said see how hard it is?

A few minutes a group of four came by and took a tract from me and when they realized we were sharing Christ they stated that they were Christians, and didn't need one. One had two large black circular rings embedded in his ears with several nose rings as well. I don't understand why the youth of today think they have to defile their bodies.

After a few of his comments about how loving God is and He wouldn't send anyone to Hell. I then asked if he considered himself to be a good person, and would he mind using God's Commandments to validate it. As usual he said yes, and then I asked the other guy and the two ladies to take the test as well. The two ladies answered quickly about lying, but the man with the earrings refused to answered and only replied with that he was saved by the Blood of Jesus.

After a while he commented that I sounded like those people who believe that I was chosen by God and NOT of my own free will, and he didn't want to talk to anyone like me because we were spreading lies. The God he believes in, which he himself sought out at age (7), is a loving God and would not send anyone to Hell. The lady next to him then stated that the questions I was asking was not what Jesus would do and that I needed to show more love.

When I asked her had she ever read Luke 18:18 where Jesus Himself used the Commandments, she said yes, but the way to share with others is to do it as she does. She explained how she sat on a bench with a homeless person and just asked about his life. She could see how amazed he was that she would sit with him. She told him how she was sexually abused growing up as a child and had a lot of anger and bitterness in her. When she accepted Jesus, also at age (7), she forgave her molester and became a Christian. After her sharing her experience with this homeless man she made an amazing claim, that he accepted Jesus and became a Christian.

I then asked if I could summarize back what I heard her say? It sounds like if I have had a horrible experiences in my life, been molested, no money, relationship breakups, then all I need to do is accept Jesus, because He loves me and I will be saved.

I then asked her what would I be saved from, as it appears that God has burdened me with unimaginable situations when I have done nothing wrong. Then those of us who have not been molested, have adequate finances and a well rounded relationships don't need to accept Jesus? That's when she said it was a waste of time taking to me and they left.

Our New Banner Asking "AreYou A Good Person"

2011-02-20T17:15:00.000-08:00

Here is our new banner that helps to draw those who think that they "Are A Good Person"

Below is where we hung the banner in front of the Post Office on Mill and 5th St in Tempe

Even in the rain many stopped by to get their free souvenir a, Large Colorful Glowsrtick.

Using this concept groups of people would stop by and claim that they were GOOD and what test would they have to take to receive their free souvenir?

This presented a great opportunity to ask them if it where okay to use God's stanadard to see if they qualify as being GOOD!

Each one of these groups said no problem. It truly is amazing how many who claim to be brought up in church when they admit to be a lawbreaker state that their God would not punish them for violating God's Law. Here are some of the more popular responses:

They said a prayer when they younger
They try not to sin anymore
Jesus is a loving God and woudn't send anyone to Hell
They do a lot of good things, like attend church, give to the poor

They are stunned to learn that the God they have been told to worship, is the same God that Paul talks about. (1Co 6:9-10) Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

God is Holy, Just and Rigtheous and must punish the wicked otherwise He would not be a True God.

The only acceptable answer for the forgiveness from God is for them to Repent, (have remorse, regret and a Godly sorrow for violating a Just and Holy God), then place their Faith and Trust in the only one who can save them, and that is Jesus the Christ.

When that happens the Holy Spirit indwells in each one of us whom He has called to be adopted into the Kingdom, and as Jesus stated: "Come follow Me and I will make you fishers of men!"

Fishermen don't sit in the cabin next to the lake they get out of their seats and go where the fish are.
So if your having a problem fishing please give me a call, and prayerfully with the help of the Holy Spirit we can help.

Friday Night at 3rd & Roosevelt

2011-02-05T18:58:00.000-08:00

Friday night was freezing cold, yet some of us braved the low temperatures and showed up at 3rd & Roosevelt to reach out to the lost. It was mentioned to me that no one would be out because of the cold, but how would we know for sure unless someone went out there. So Alan, Ron, and I got there around 8, and a little while later Mike D. Showed up and a little later Steve T. showed up from the church I used to go to.

It was exciting to see these two new men from different churches, get out of their comfort zone to learn how to reach out to strangers. Steve sated that he wanted to come to my next seminar, and is committing to coming out with us a least 2 times a month.

Again the streets were flowing with hundreds of people. Praise the Lord for giving us the desire to conquer our doubts about the freezing weather.

I did a few open airs and was saddened to hear how the youth of today, those who stopped by to take the good person test, seem to have no conscience! When asked if they ever lied or stolen, they respond with laughter and pride, and when asked what do people call someone who does those things, they said, "human".

One stated that it would be okay to kill someone who was a very bad person. When I asked what standard would he use to validate that, he stated,"none", he would just know who was very bad.

As the cold night wore on the 5 of us we're able to hand out hundreds of tracts.

Thankfully I was able to give one young man a Bible. After I was finished sharing God's Ten Commandments with one of his friends he came forward and asked some great questions about what I had just said. I asked if he had a Bible at home he said no, so I asked would he read it if I gave him one, he said, "yes".

Yes, the Lord willing, the 1st Friday of next we will be there. My pray is that some of you can join us so that you can have the blessing we get by knowing we are being obedient and faithful servants of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

WOTM Seminar 1/29/11 and Beyond

2011-01-31T09:09:00.000-08:00

This seminar went very well as the Holy Spirit was with us, as those who attended were on fire to learn a way that would help them reach the lost.

Besides watching the videos that show us how successful it is to use the Law to reach out to the lost, they also humbled themselves by standing up and recited the commandments and the words that went with them.

Al gave a presentation, just like he does when he meets people. They were able to follow what he was saying from what was given to them on paper and that made it easy for them to follow along.

This was the first time that everyone who attended came with us to Tempe at night

Later that evening I was told by some that they spoke to more strangers about what was necessary for salvation then all the years they had been a Christian.

Praise be given to the Lord fro helping those who came to be what He prayed for, "LABORERS": Luke 10:2

A night to Glorify the Lord Jesus Christ

2011-01-28T20:43:00.000-08:00

Tonight was an amazing night. I got an email that a friend of ours 18 month old son, Addison was in the hospital. Catherine and I went to visit and found the boy was improving...Praise God. We were able to share with several of the hospital staff including the volunteer person who escorted us to the room, as we gave her a Million Dollar Gospel Tract for taking us and explained that she needed to read the back to find out if she was GOOD enough to get into Heaven.

As we were leaving, I asked a man which way to go to get to the exit. He was kind enough to give us a long explanation of all the turns we needed to make. With that I gave him a million for being so helpful and then he stated that he would take us to where we needed to go. While walking I asked him who was he here for and he told me about his 5 yr old daughter who was in for over a month and had brain surgery removing a tumor. Now at the door I showed him that a silver coin can appear from the chrome handles of a wheelchair, and gave it to him explaining that it was a commemorative coin and that it had the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other. Then an amazing thing happened...he asked if I would come back with him to show what I just done to his daughter.

I looked at Catherine and we both said yes. When we got to the room the little girl was sleeping and several of the family members were there. So at that point we gave each of them a Million Dollar Gospel Tract. The man's wife then asked if we could come back about an hour later as they would have to wake up their daughter to get her ready for before she would go to sleep for the night. With that request, how could we refuse, so we left to grab a quick bite and came back about an hour later.

The little girl was now awake but I could see she was sedated, but she did give us a slight hand wave to acknowledge our presence. I showed her the coin trick and placed it in her hand as she could barely raise her hand. The father and mother were very appreciative that we came back, so that's when I showed them the pink & blue illusion cards again, in more detail. The wife was enamored on how her eyes where fooling her and then I walked her through the Law and the consequences of violating them. I summed up that all the religions in world were false representation of trying to get to Heaven.

Some religions pray to a priest to have them forgive them of their sins as I was once Catholic and that's what I was taught by them. But now my eyes have been opened and I now the truth. So that's when I told them the only way that I can be accepted into the Heavenly Kingdom was that I needed to repent of my sins, lying, stealing, cursing, and lust to name a few, and place my trust in Jesus Christ alone to forgive me. A nurse came in and we were going to leave, but that's when I was convicted that we needed to pray over this little girl and I asked her parents if it would be okay and asked them to come close to there daughter and we all laid hands on her and Catherine and I prayed.

Now comes the amazing part that Catherine & I got a kick out of. I hope you continue and don't stop reading yet. The father asked me what my name was as he really appreciated us being there. Now here it comes. Your going to love this...really, he said his name was Moses....Moses! So now I can say I finally met Moses!

A Cold Saturday Night in Tempe on Mill Ave 1/8/2011

2011-01-09T15:26:00.000-08:00

Tonight Al, Catherine, Ronnie, Marcus and Joe were some of the faithful sowers who came out on this cold winter night in Tempe on Mill Ave, to reach out to the lost.

I purchased some Glow Sticks which lite up when you bend them and they glow with different colors. The light at night attracts some who are walking past us at the Post Office where we hang a sign, “Are you a Good Person?” We explain to those who stop that we are giving away Glow Sticks to anyone who takes this test.

Lyquinda and Marsherrie, were one of the first to stop by after I mentioned that we were giving away this Sticks to anyone who would take the Good Person test. Lyquinda responded quickly, so I told her that I was going to use God’s Ten Commandments to she if she was, not my opinion or the world’s point of view. She agreed and then I asked if she had ever told a lie as the ninth Commandment God said that we were not to lie. She smiled and stated that everyone lies, I agreed but then reminded her that this test was about her and not the other people in the World. She then said “yes”, and so it went as I asked her three more, which she admitted to breaking. The 8th, stealing, 3rd Blasphemy, and finally the 7th, where Jesus explained that even if we lust after another person we have committed Adultery with that person in our hearts.

At this point she became a little more agitated and stated that she didn’t like where this was going and now was not liking me very much. I then asked her if she had ever heard the phrase, “Don’t shoot the messenger, but listen to the message!” It was a real blessing for her as her friend Marsherrie spoke up and said, “ yes”, as she had heard her Pastor explain it. Marsherrie then made an extremely encouraging comment. She told her friend that she should listen to what I was saying and be thankful that it was being explained to her.” Praise the Lord for Him bringing these two ladies to us and pray for Lyquinda to have the Lord help her recognize what her sins are and repent from them, and place her trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of them. Just as they were leaving Marsherrie said to me “This was the most extremely important message she had ever heard and she thanked God for bringing me out onto the street tonight to speak it to them!”

I gave another test to two young men, Tabby and Alexander, who are in their early 20’s, who both after admitting being guilty of violating God’s Law proclaimed they would be declared Innocent because God is a loving and forgiving God, and wouldn’t send anyone to Hell. I then gave him a courthouse scenario, how a good judge must punish a law breaker. I also explained to him what it meant to “REPENT “ to have remorse, regret, to be sorrow for offending a Holy God. The young man Tabby then proclaimed that he knew all about Jesus and His death on the cross, but was not willing to turn from his life style as he liked it the way it was. He then made an amazing comment. He might repent of his sins when he was in his 40’s.

I then asked him how long did he think it would be before he would die? He pondered for quite a while and then stated around 70 or 80. I then asked had he heard about the shooting deaths in Tucson where several people were killed, one a little girl age 9? He said he had. I told him that he really couldn't tell me how long he might live as he could die tomorrow and then where would he wind up as he just admitted he wanted to keep on sinning for at least two more decades.

His demeanor changed after that comment as I could see in his face the realization about what could happen was now real. I asked him if he would read some other information I had and when he went home tonight that he get on his knees and ask the Lord how he could redeem himself from desiring to please Satan, with his continuing sinning, and instead please the Lord by having a changed heart that would be pleasing to Him, and then truly repent of his sins, and place his trust in Jesus Christ alone to save him from eternal punishment in Hell.

And so it went for most of the night, as I was able to interact with several people that night because of the silly Glow sticks. Please consider learning this simple Biblical principle, God’s Ten Commandments, on how to reach out to those strangers who pass you by everyday.

They are possibly being mislead and need to hear the truth!

Singing Hallelujah Chorus at Scottsdale Fashion Square Scottsdale AZ

2010-12-23T18:46:00.000-08:00

I was there around 11am and noticed lots of people sitting at the tables. This area was packed with people from all over the valley, the reason I know that was because I had asked a few people where they were from. The word was out that at 12 noon they would all be singing. Several had asked me if I was going to sing, maybe because I was wearing a red sweater!

So around 11:30 I started to ask those at the tables if I could buy their seat for a Million Dollars? Most of them said no, and others reached out for them. For those who said no I gave them the Million Dollar Gospel Tract anyway, and told everyone of them to read the back. It asks the Million Dollar question, "Are you good enough to get into Heaven?"

Watch as you will see hundreds of people singing this song. As I was filming this event, it came to me that the majority of those who were there were probably Church people.

Now that you have seen the video, would you agree that this reaching out was mainly for those who either sing in a choir or attend a Church. I mention this possibility because when I was leaving the mall, which was right after the singing, the parking garage was overflowing with other cars leaving.

If this was to be an outreach to the community, it seemed to be to only the community to those who attend Church.

Our Seed Sower Team in Tempe Saturday Night Nov. 27th 2010

2010-12-01T17:02:00.000-08:00

Here we are, Jean, Dan, Al, Jennifer, Joe, Luke, and myself trying to keep warm on a cold November night. Leigh, Anne and Marcus aren't in the picture and were probably involved with sharing with someone else.

This cold night didn't stop those who had a desire to reach out to the lost. It was a Glorious night for the Lord as we had several one to ones and did some Open Air's.

One of the team members got over her fear of speaking to a crowd and stood up on the step stool and with microphone in had proclaimed what God had given to Moses on Mt Sinai. She quoted in order the Ten Commandments, the measure that God has given mankind of what He expects from those who claim Him to be Lord.

Don't take this out of context, I not saying keeping them is what will save us, as we know that it's by Grace we are saved. Eph. 2: 8-10, tells us that. But how many even know them? I've asked hundreds of people who claim they do, but when I asked then to name them usually can name only 3 or 4.

It seems like our team of sowers is growing. Praise the Lord that more laborers are coming forth to proclaim what it means to be adopted into the Kingdom of Heaven!

Sharing the Godsel of Jesus Christ on ASU campus

2010-11-17T14:41:00.000-08:00

Today a bunch of us we went to ASU to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who may be lost.

Below are some of the team members.Jennifer, Jill, Al, Ann, and Jean all came out because they have recognized that just being a pew sitter is not what it means to a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus' prayer for those who claim him as lord is that our Heavenly Father send out more laborers because the laborer's are few! (Luke 10:2)

Think how many times we are told to just pray to the Lord so that whatever our situation is He would help to improve it.(Our family relationships, finances, and physical well being) Yet how many of us are not willing to answer the Lord's prayer and do what he Commanded, by going out into the streets as He did to help those who are lost be saved? (Mark 16:15), (Acts 1:8)

Remember having a good relationship with others, income to support all your need, and physical well being, are pleasant, but it still means one day you will die, and what is their destiny if the whole truth hasn't been giving to them. So maybe the greatest prayer is a prayer that causes us to action. Maybe ask the Lord to give you the courage to go share with everyone you come in contact with, so that some may be saved. Read (Romans 10:15)

Below is Al’s written request to those who walk the campus. “Are you a Good Person?."

Al asking the question for all to see!

There were many other sower's as we had 2,000 Gospel Tracts to hand out and the fish were definitely biting. Besides handing them out, many of the students were curious about what the message was and many of us we were able to do what is called "One 2 Ones" !

Pray that our Heavenly Father desires to adopt these sheep who are lost, as they seem to follow the campus philosophy that God isn't real and we are fanatics. What should concern us is that if we just keep quiet, as this is what our culture has endeared to us to do, you know "whatever", we shouldn't be telling others what the truth is as long as they believe in something they are okay!

But what did Jesus tell us in Mat. 10 :34? We need to be stirring up the pot because when people are complaisant they are not motivated to do anything. Have you heard how you can boil a frog to death? When they are in the pot of water very slowly turn up the heat.

It seems we are the same, as long as I'm comfortable living my life my way I'm fine. So what would it take for you to be on Fire for the Lord, and boldly proclaim what a wonderful, gracious, everlasting gift you have received? Read what Paul prayed for in: (Eph. 6:18-20)

One other comment, by sharing what the truth in the scriptures reveals to others we are called judgemental and that's not acceptable behavior. But can you help me with that one, because if someone claims that I'm being judgemental, then, aren't they being judgmental?

Below tthis young man didn't get offended or stataed that I was judging him by asking him if he considered himself Good enough to get into Henven. After asking him how would he be found if he had to face God after he admitted to lying, stealing and having lust in his heart, he admitted he would have to be sent to Hell. This concerned him and after I explained what Jesus had done for him and that he needed to REPENT and place his trust in Jesus Chirst ALONE, for the forgiveness of his sins, he thanked me...WOW!!! praise the Lord for this divine intervention.

Getting his attention with the Red & Blue illusion cards

1st Friday Night in Nov on the streets of Phx AZ

2010-11-06T15:28:00.000-07:00

It was an inspiring evening to say the least! To watch Al's 8 year old daughter McKayla, not just recite the 10 Commandments but she nailed them perfectly!

I was also inspired to see all those who showed up: Al brought his wife Jill and their daughter McKayla, Ann who came all the way from Avondale, Alan, Toya and Dana, who brought Susan(this was her first time), Marcus and his sister Jennifer, and of course my lovely wife Catherine. It was also a blessing to see and hear those who stand on the rock in front of the Scientology building who proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I was also blessed to see my good friend Dave the laborer for the Lord, who has recently returned from his outreach in Japan. It looked to me as if we are beginning to answer the Lord's prayer instead of us always asking Him to answer ours. "Send more laborers" (Luke 10:2)

This was truly a blessing from the Lord as he led a huge crowd to me to take the Good Person Test.

It's Not a Secret Anymore! Even the Phoenix Magazines Knows About Us!

2010-10-23T10:43:00.000-07:00

The other day a blessed sister in Christ, Jean a passionate Seed Sower for the Lord, (or you could say Evangelist) called with excitement in her voice, as she stated, "You made it! They have you in the magazine!" Catherine and I met with her as she showed us this magazine, Phoenix Magazine which posted 101 FUN Things to Do!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! READ WHAT IT STATES FOR NUMBER (95)

If you can't read it here's what it says.

Evangelical street-preachers. Atheist street-preachers. Crypto-hippie homeless dog owners. Steroid-popping bar backs. Press-on-nail center maidens. We could go on all day. Without a doubt, Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe boasts the most diverse human ecosystem in the Valley. After you turn 30, it becomes harder to justify actually going into any of the bars, but Mill's people-watching pleasures are an all-ages treat. millavenue.com

Now those who report what is going on using this 160 page magazine think that we are something to come to watch. How exciting is that!

I PRAY THAT OUR CHURCHES WOULD ENDORSE US IN THE SAME MANNER!

I pray that many will come to hear as we boldly proclaim the reason why our Lord had to leave His Heavenly Throne and descend to Earth. His coming was not so that we would just know about Him, or accept Him as we have been told, but that He needed to show us how imperfect we are. (Even the demons believe in Jesus and they shudder!)

He came to show us the standard God requires from us, "Perfection". In (Mat. 5:48) He stated that we needed to be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect. How could any of us claim to have achieved such a high standard? What is the standard that we would be compared to? Sadly most of us compare our goodness to others. It's easy for us to look at others and claim that we are not as bad as they are. So we are decieved into thinking that we are GOOD... even good enough to get into Heaven.

In (Mat 5:17) Jesus clearly explained what it would take to be accepted, or as Paul states adopted into the Kingdom. "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." He lived a perfect life, just like he proclaimed in (Mat. 5:48). And again in (Mat 19:17) And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." In (Luke 18:18-20) He explained what we would have to do to measure up to His standard.

Several times in the four Gospels, Jesus states that we needed to keep the Commandments. In (John 14:15) Jesus puts it simply, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."

So with that in mind how many of the Commandments can you name? Oh, and for some of you just concentrate on the Ten that God took the time to write on the stone tables. You can find them in (Exodus 20: 3-17).

Remember this is the standard that God will Judge you by. Lets try a few to see how you do.

Have you ever lied,
Taken anything that doesn't belong to you, (the value doesn't matter)
Used God's Name in vain, you know swearing. How many of you know that the Lord stated the He would not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain? (Ex. 20:7) Just that one sounds pretty serious but how many of us have violated that one and many times?

I Pray that you understand the meaning of what I'm saying. This is NOT legalism as some have accused us of. It's just stating the fact, that none of us is good enough to be adopted into the Kingdom. Jesus is very specific as He stated in (Mat. 4:17) and several other places, From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

So help me with this one, it sounds like we have to admit that we are Law breakers and not qualified to be admitted into the Heavenly place with our Holy, Perfect and Righteous Lord. We deserve to be punished, correct? Once that part is clear, I think He has opened our eyes to see how filthy we really are. It's the Grace of God who provides that reality. (Eph. 2:8-10), reveals that to me. Now because of that knowledge I must REPENT, have sorrow, regret, remorse, not to just turn from my sins but as Jesus told the woman caught in the act of adultery, "Go and sin no more"

Once I realize that I have offended God, and what Jesus had to go through to save a wretched sinner like me, how could I continue to violate the same Laws that Jesus paid the fine for that set me free by taking the punishment that I deserved.

Now that I know why I have been set free and have been adopted into the Kingdom of Heaven I MUST, I MUST be an obedient servant and do as my Lord, my Savior commands... Go and tell everyone I meet!

Saturday Night in Tempe with Tree of Life Community Church New Sowers

2010-10-11T07:53:00.000-07:00

Saturday night was another glorious night for the Lord! Pastor B. J. and his people from Tree of Life Community Church in Tempe just finished their training from the Way of the Master on Thursday night and were now out on the streets of Tempe to put into practice what they had learned form the three previous classes.

It’s truly amazing to watch those who come out as they are at first hesitant to speak with the strangers who pass by. But I reminded them that I was the same way in the beginning when I first attended a Boot Camp in Seattle WA.

When I was there, it took a couple of hours for me to rely on the Holy Spirit, to energize me, and to not think of what they may think of me when I approach them, but to think of their faith, as this might be the only time anyone confronts them about where God might have to send them on Judgment Day. A fiery existence for eternity!

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another more important than yourselves; (Php 2:3)

And so it began, as they teamed up with the rest of the seed sowers they watched and prayed as we encountered the crowd by first offering Million Dollar bills to those who where passing by.

Later AL and I did some Open Air, where we offered money for trivia questions to try to draw a crowd, so that more could hear what God has in store for those who deny Jesus as Lord and Savior. (John 3:18)

Later on I asked if they would like to try to hand some out? Some said they would try, others sheepishly said yes. It was exciting to watch these new sowers reach out to the lost with their new weapon, Million Dollar bills with a few of God's Ten Commandments on them.

Now they would experience for themselves as to how easy it was to say to a passing stranger, “Did you get one of these?”

You should have seen how excited they were when the first person who walked by took one…the Joy it brought to them was exciting to watch to say the least, as now they were answering Jesus’ prayer in Luke 10:2.

Later that evening I asked Pastor B J what he thought, now that he had seen how we use these Gospel Tracts with the some of the Ten Commandments, and Open Air to draw a crowd, so we can ask those who stop by if they would like to take "The Good Person Test".

He responded with an excited response, he would like to have his people get more training so that more of his people would learn how simple it is to reach out to the lost. And also that his prayer that he has been praying since January would be answered,

“ That the Church walls would come down!”

Wednesday Morning at McDonald's

2010-10-08T10:33:00.000-07:00

After this morning the Spirit of the Lord compelled me to write what happened. I pray that when and if you read this you understand I'm not trying to make a statement, "Look at Me!", but with just a small amount of Biblical training, look how the Lord can use even me.

This story would not have happened if I was not prepared to share with a perfect stranger. I truly believe the Lord wanted me there!

I was supposed to be someplace else
I was about to leave,
I sat in a place were I would not normally sit.

Here's a question!

Strangers cross our paths all the time, so how do you approach them?

This morning I went McDonald's around 11:00 for a breakfast burrito. I was told by the young man behind the register that it was to late as they now had their lunch menu up. I struggled to order a burger and he kept asking what would I like to order. No one was behind me so I just kept staring at the menu trying to decide what else I could have. I then noticed a woman beside me so I told the young man to serve her.

After a few minutes another young man behind a register asked if he could help me. I went to him and stated that I wanted to have and egg burrito but was told it was too late, and that I was going to leave to find another place to have breakfast.

He stated that they had some left and if I wanted one he could get me one. That made my morning! Praise the Lord!

A few minutes later a Postman came and sat near me and I noticed that he put his head down before he ate his food. So I thought to myself was he praying or just thinking about his day. I took one of the Million Dollar bills I always carry and said, "Excuse me but were you just praying before you ate?' He stated, "Absolutely!" I then said to him, "Well whenever I see someone praying to the Lord I give them a Million Dollars".

He gave me a big smile, as that's what usually happens and then said that he had one of these and he had it stuck on his wall. At that point I asked if he had read the back and he said yes and he remembers seeing these given away on TV. The guys who were doing it were Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron.

That's when I said to him well how did you get that first Million, and he said, "Someone gave it to him." Then I reminded him that's what he needed to do. Written on them is the Word of God and they are meant to be shared with others so that they too can read why Jesus Christ died for their sins.

He looked at me with a strange look at first then said, "You know your right." I asked him had he shared the gift of salvation with others that cross his path and he admitted sheepishly, "No" But he said after watching the program, it convinced him that he should be reaching out to others, as he has never heard a message like that from anyone else.

I then mentioned that I was putting on a seminar to teach those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, on the last Sat. in Oct., and would he like to attend. He stated that he wanted to learn more but said he works on Sat.

I then said that I would teach him one on one whenever he had the time, as I could hear from our conversation that he wanted to apply what he had seen from watching The Way of The Master on TV. He then said what if he had some other men could they attend as well?

Praise the Lord again for creating an opportunity to raise more laborers! Luke 10:2

¿Questions?, Sovereignty of God, The Need of a Savior. (You Decide)

2010-10-06T19:38:00.000-07:00

We couldn't come up with a simple Title for this one, so I listed a few, ...you decide!

Al was confronted by a few obvious unbelievers we met on the street. They were willing to discuss spiritual matters, they were polite and had some great questions. About halfway through, Al took them through the Good Person Test to show them their need for a Savior.

He shared with them about whether or not we are all “children of God” or not, and why punishment in Hell is eternal.

But the Scriptures are clear: Psalm 19:7, Galatians 3:24.

Please watch this to see what they believe and is it the standard for most of our culture today?

We didn't catch their names, but have seen them out there before. Al asked that we keep them in prayer, God knows their names.

He Came Back !!!

2010-10-03T19:20:00.000-07:00

I pray that you watch this video. This young man, Alex, came back with his female friend after going through the Good Person test about an hour earlier. When he approached me he turned to her and stated, " this is the man who explained to me why we need a Savior".

1st Friday Night at the Phoenix Art Fair 10/1/10

2010-10-02T15:54:00.000-07:00

Tonight was an awesome night for the Lord! Alan and I went down together, and several seed sowers showed up. Dana (she likes to be called Dan a' Sounds like banana), David, Joe, Pastor Jon, Leigh, Marcus, Phill, Robert, and Valerie. The Lord definitely was providing support in our endeavor to reach out to the masses on the streets of apathy.

The Lord would have been pleased to see His followers planting seeds to those who may be lost. Would you agree that by going out into the streets where the masses are that it would be honoring our Master? He told us that if we follow Him He would make us fisher's of men. (Mat 4:19, Mark 1:17) We would deny ourselves and take up our cross. (Mat. 16:24) And of course knowing we couldn't do it without His help, He tells us how we will be able to accomplish what He has commanded us to do! (Acts 1:8)

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Does anyone know of a fisherman who does not go out to fish?
The fish don't come to them do they?
Denying ourselves and taking up our cross doesn't sound like doing the things that we like to do, does it?
Doing only what's comfortable to us or convenient doesn't sound like the burden the Lord was taking about either, does it?

His prayer in Luke 10: 2 was for the Lord to send out more laborers, because the laborers are few...Are you one of the few or the many?

I had one young man tell me that his father told him, that when Jesus came He abolished the Law and mankind was no longer under the Law. All that was needed now was for us to Love our neighbors. I asked him had he read that himself in the scripture and he said, "No". I asked if he would like to read what Jesus said in the Bible and he said, "Not really, that I should meet with his father and show him.
How sad it is that the phrase , "I know what I know so don't confuse me with the truth!" seems to be so popular.

It's starts in Mat. 5:17, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until in and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

So what's your take on this? Does it read that if we are out teaching others about God's Ten Commandments, we are pleasing the Lord, but if not... Well you read the verse and come to your own conclusion.

Would love to hear your take on it.

Stone Age or New Technology

2010-09-28T08:00:00.000-07:00

Al , Alan, Marcus, Joe, Ronnie and myself came out to seek those who may be lost. It's by the Lord's authority and blessing so we know that we have to pray before we encounter them. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Eph 6:12)

Shortly after we were prayed up, we started to implement the new tools that the Lord has prepared for us in this time frame. It saddens me to see so many who claim Christ still living in the "Stone Age"! (I'll explain later)

We have these "Light Fingers" to draw them away from the bond of Satan for a little while so that they can hear the truth about Jesus Christ. (Would you be willing to be a fool for Jesus?)

These Light Fingers are rubber fingers like those that were used by people who count money, but inside they have a tiny battery and light that when you squeeze it it lights up. We stand on opposite sides of the sidewalk and throw the imaginary light back and forth to each other. You should see the looks on the faces and they walk between us. Some will even duck as they pass by so as not to be hit by the light.

One such group of about 8 well dressed young ladies stopped in awe, as what they were seeing they couldn't believe. As soon as that happens,one of us will go up to them and show them that this is an illusion and that their eyes could fool them...they always agree.

Now is the perfect time, as they are now curious about what they saw, and we can recite a script from the back of this new technology. Ray has designed two curved cards, one red card and one blue. When these two cards are held together they look the same size, but when you separate them and move them from left to right, the red one looks bigger then the blue one.

The fact that they believe their eyes can fool them we then ask if they would sell one of their eyes for a million dollars. NO, is what you usually get, (unless they are teenagers, then you have to lower the amount because they would sell one for a million), we then ask how about 10 million dollars for both eyes, NO again.

Now we give them the reason, we tell them that their eyes are precious to them aren't they? They always respond with a YES! Now we are free to tell them what Jesus said in "(Mark 9:47) "If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell. We now tell them if that's true let's look at the other Commandments He gave us.

When they were asked had they ever lied, all 8 said yes, when asked if the ever stole anything, several stated that the were Christians. I then asked does that mean they have never taken anything that didn't belong to them? They all said NO, I then stated so if you broke God's Law would just saying you're a Christian save you from God's Wrath? With that several grabbed their friends and said they had to go. Our guys gave them all million dollar Gospel tracts and asked if they would please read them. as they were walking away you could hear them say, "Thank You for sharing"

So maybe, just maybe using the Law as Paul states in (Gal. 3:24) we are able to help them understand. (check out 1 John 5:20) One of my favorites from Charles Spurgeon:

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken tread of the gospel through a man's heart until you first send the Law to make way for it.

I hope you can see by using up to date technology we are able to reach those who are lost. This group of young ladies did not have a clear understanding of what it means to be Born Again. If it weren't for the Light Fingers they never would have stopped to listen to us. If we were to use Stone Age technology and just preach to them, that Jesus loves them, they never wold have stopped to listen. Read 1 Cor. 1:18

Soon after they left Al and I started throwing the lights around again and this time a family of four stopped to watch. We gave the sane message. I hope you can see that this way of sharing, using these state of the art equipment, just like we no longer use typewriters, we have computers with word processors.

I'm sure you would agree that if you don't have a persons attention you can't share with them. Ray Comfort from The Way of the Master has several eye catching items to help you reach the lost. Million Dollar bills, Red & Blue illusion cards. A card that says if you don't think you need a ticket to get to Heaven then tear this up...and they can't. One of my favorites is a shinning silver coin with the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other, just to name a few.

Help me out with this one, give me a good reason why a follower of Christ would resist giving out of these coins, or any of the unique tracts to everyone you meet?....I don't get it! Do you realize how many people we could help find their way to the Cross...talk about a revival!

I pray that you would contact me if you're not doing everything possible to reach out to save those who have not received the undeserved gift that you have.

Is it true that you just need to "BELIEVE"?

2010-09-28T07:08:00.000-07:00

ONLY BELIEVE ?

A young man stopped by to take the good person test, and received his cash for answering the question. When asked if he was good enough to get into heaven, he said, yes!

After taking him through the law he accepted the fact that he was guilty but that he believed in Jesus and was going to heaven, but did not consider himself a Christian!

He then made an incredible claim, that he also believed in Mohammad, and Buddha!

I stated that didn't make sense, if you say you believe in Jesus then you should also be called a Christian. Believing in Jesus is an exclusive relationship and if you claim you believe in others for your salvation then you couldn't be saved!

At that point he got very angry and shouted at me saying that if I was telling him that the people who believed in those religions were going to Hell, he then threw the money at my feet and yelled, " I don't want any part of your Jesus!" 1 John 5:11-13, 1 John 5:20

Your comments welcomed about this.

On a more positive note, Ronnie is a new sower. This is only his 2nd time out on Saturday night and already he's engaging with strangers!

Ronnie on the right handing out a million dollar tract on Mill Ave

Praise the Lord for this man! He now has the courage to share. He told me that since he had read Ray's book and attended a Way of the Master training, he realized that for all the years he'd been claiming to be a Christian he had not been an obedient follower of Jesus Christ. He now knows that he must be out sharing with as many people he can.

Friday Night at the Art Fair

2010-09-19T20:49:00.000-07:00

Another Glorious night for the Lord! We had some new sower's come out to reach out to the lost. George & Sarah from Cave Creek came down to reach out and pray for us and the lost. Alan, my loving wife Catherine, Joe, Marcus, Phil and his group was there as well.

Even our atheist friend Sean and his lady friend setup besides us with their large amplifier to try to over shout our ability to share with those who come to listen.

Joe stepped in front of Sean as he was screaming the answers to the trivia questions and started praying for him. Sarah was behind Sean praying as well. Take this at face value because according to Joe, Sean started to stammer and then went quiet.

I try not to pay attention to what that group is doing when I'm trying to draw a crowd so the only thing I remember was that the shouting from the atheist Sean had stopped. I learned about what Joe and Sarah had done much later in the evening. Praise the Lord for confining those who would oppose the Word of God being proclaimed to the masses in the streets.

Listen as Ryan tries to justify his lifestyle. 1Cor 6:9-10 is very clear!

Reaching out to the lost in Tempe AZ

2010-09-02T13:59:00.000-07:00

Saturday night in Tempe was another Glorious evening for the Lord. During one of our encounters in drawing a crowd with trivia questions a family passed by and the teenage girl answered the question and took her prize of one dollar. I then asked if she would like to take the Good Person Test and she glanced at her father and mother who really didn't say anything, so the young girl came towards me to take the test. Immediately her younger brother came along side her as well as he too was anxious to get the five dollars that I was offering for the test.

This is the first time that I can remember giving this test to someone so young. I asked her father how old was his daughter, he told me she was 16, so I thought she was old enough to understand what I was about to ask her.

Interestingly enough she had no problem admitting to lying, stealing, swearing, but her brother did. He did not want to admit to stealing until I questioned him further, stating to him that God was present and for him to search his conscience. Remember "Con" is with and "Science" is knowledge, so with knowledge, he was convicted about his sin. After that statement he admitted, with a smile on his face, that he had taken things that didn't belong to him.

After admitting that they were law breakers, I asked where would God have to send them, Heaven or Hell?
The young lady replied to Hell... and when I asked did she now what God did for her so she wouldn't have to go to Hell she stated, "He died on the cross". I then asked does that mean that everyone will be going to Heaven? She said no! So then I asked did she know what she needed to do so that she would go to Heaven? Her response was typical..just try to be good!

I explained what Jesus Himself stated in Luke 13:3, " I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

So trying to be good won't save you. You must place your trust in Jesus Chrsit alone and then REPENT!(have sorrow, remorse, regrett for what you have done that caused Jesus to be crucified.)

Then turn form your sins. Ask the Lord to help you HATE the sin the way He does, that way you won't be a slave to it. No one does to himself what he hates.

Even though she and her brother failed the Good Person Test I gave her the 5 dollars to show a paultry example of what it looks like on how we are saved. I gave her Eph. 2:8-10, to remind her it's by grace, not of works that we are adopted into the Kingdom fo God.

What happened next I was not expecting. The two of them returned to where their familes when standing and the father came up to me and thanked me for sharin with his children. He then handed me a 5 dollasr bill. I told him I couldn't take it as it was freely giving to his son & daughter. He then gave me a big smile and said you don't understand, anyone who preaches the Word of God like that in public deserves it, so that I could give it to some else.

Watch as Al gives the same test to Ace.

Friday Night at the Phoenix Art Fair

2010-08-14T16:21:00.000-07:00

My loving wife Catherine and I went with Alan to 3rd St and Roosevelt to pass out Gospel Tracts and some bottled water. We met Leigh there and later Mike D. came by. This was Mike's first time with us and we praise the Lord for him coming. He attended a 4 week seminar I put on in July with some of the guys he meets with regularly on Monday nights.

Praise the Lord for placing in his heart to get out of his comfort zone and see how many souls can be reached by being out were the lost are.

Watch Bobby and Chris giving the sign of the cross so to show what they have been indoctrinated with as a means of seeking forgiveness.

Watch Jessica explain that she was born into Christianity as her father was a Pastor.

Here is Ryan admitting that he is gay and then realizes he could be headed for Hell

Husband and Wife taking the Good Person Test

2010-08-05T18:24:00.000-07:00

Not too many passing by, but the Lord did send this couple to hear His Word and He opened their hearts and minds to the truth...Glory to God for this blessing!

Watch as this couple at first try to justify what they have done and their misunderstanding of a God that was only loving and forgiving. It's sad that they haven't been told that He is also Holy, Just and a Righteous God who must do what He stated:

"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."(Rev 21:8)

But after they heard how the Law would have to punish them for what they had done, they understood what it really meant for them to be Born Again. They would have to place their faith and trust in Jesus' death on the Cross for saving them from spending eternity in Hell and Repent, turn from sin. Just trying to be a "good person", wouldn't save them.

In Mat. 18:13, "If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

If you can hear what the women in the wheelchair said at the end of the conversation," God sent you to us tonight for a reason!"

I post these videos Not to show what I do but to show that any of us can share with anyone about someone who can save anyone, you just need to be willing to learn how to.

Way of the Master Seminar July 24th 2010

2010-07-25T16:36:00.000-07:00

Today was a glorious day for the Lord as the truth of the Gospel was revealed to several of those who attended the Way of the Master seminar at Kineo Church in Phoenix AZ.

After watching the 2nd video in the series, of Ray Comfort explaining about True and False converts, one lady stood up and calmly stated, "This was the first time in all the years she has been a Christian that she clearly understood the difference between legalism and a relationship with Jesus Christ. She had admitted that she rarely spoke to people she didn't know but know can see how easy it would be by using the Ice Breakers from this training and is now anxious to go out to seek and save the lost. (This lady is in her 70"s)

Another man stood up with a surprise in his voice and stated, "There're wrong! I have friends of mine from Churches who have told me that The Way of the Master principle of sharing the Gospel is wrong and shouldn't be accepted, but now that I have heard it for myself, I can clearly see that it presents the truth, the Word of God from the Bible, and they are wrong in making that statement!"

Another lady stated that she wanted to be refreshed as she had attended one of the seminars about 3 years ago.

Then Joe told everyone that he had been to a couple in the last 6 months and still wanted to hear more. I guess the phrase, " Repetition is the mother of learning" has some truth in it"!

So after the training about half of those who attended came with us to Tempe. This, in fact is the agenda, to get as many people out into the streets to watch how easy it is using these principles, God's Commandments, printed on paper that you can offer to anyone who passes you by. (Luke 10:2)

The place we stop at is in front of the Post Office. Other sowers came down as well, as we were able to fill up the corner with these Saints who have a desire to reach the lost no matter what the cost. Al, who also teaches at the seminar, this time brought a 6' wooden cross, click to view it on his blog, with him that he made, with the words, "Are you Ready?" written on it.

Alan, Marcus, Joe, Leigh, David, Harry and of course my devoted wife Catherine, who helps me put these seminars on. (I thank God for her!) We gathered together and prayed before turning our attention to those passing by. It was a quiet night very few passing by.

Because the first half hour seemed quiet, Catherine felt the need to pray for more people to accept our offerings of these Gospel Tracts, because the few who were passing by were not taking them. So she prayed that the Lord would send us people so we could hand out the Word of God using our Gospel Tracts. So the Lord was faithful in answering her pray, when several minutes later she noticed that more groups of people were coming by and more tracts were being accepted.

This was David's first time attending our seminar and coming to Tempe. He was enamored with the magic light fingers that we use to toss back and forth to get the attention of those who are walking by. Several times groups will stop in wonder about us tossing the lights to each other and then we can explain how their eyes can fool them and what Jesus told them they should do if their eye causes them to sin. Now we have their attention and we can politely ask them about the rest of the Commandments that one day God will judge them by and how do they think they would do?

So now David is thinking about getting these magic light fingers for himself and then he too can look like a fool for Jesus! Would you do the same?

I thought I'd share a strange encounter with one large heavily tattooed man, as I have never been told this before.

I was offering free ice cold bottle of living water to anyone who could prove he was a Good Person. He took the challenge and I explained that I would use God's Ten Commandments as the bench mark for his goodness. After asking him if he ever lied, or stolen he responded with telling me he was Michael the Arch Angel, and that he could kill me right now if he wanted to.

At that moment, I have to tell you that I believed him, because of the look in his eyes and him leaning towards me. I can only attest my calmness through the Holy Spirit as I immediately responded with yes you could, but, you can only kill my body as my soul is already sealed with Jesus Christ in Heaven! (Mat 10:28)

He backed away mumbled something and I asked if he would like some ice cold living water? He said okay, I asked if he wanted one for his girlfriend, he said, Yes", I gave him another bottle. Please pray for this "Arch Angel", that the demons release Him and like Paul, he finds the truth in the Gospel of Jesus Christ who can save him for eternity.

Several hundred Gospel Tracts with God's Ten Commandments were handed out this night, so please pray that by His Grace many will understand why they need a Savior.

I just got this information today and felt compelled to share it with you.
This is a link to a video that shows police in Dearborn MI. on June 19th 2010 arresting Christians for sharing with Muslims. They were accused of provoking a riot but watch this video and let me know what you think. ( What is this county coming to?). Check this video out

Free Ice Cold Living Water!

2010-07-17T11:45:00.000-07:00

Sounds familiar?

In (John 4:13-14) Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

Do you have enough of your own that you could offer some to others?
If not what prevents you from sharing that wonderful gift that you claim?
If this is a challenge for you, please let us know, we'd like to help.

Watch as Keegan has a problem accepting this Free Gift of Living Water. We all know that it's not the water that can save anyone from eternal death, but the Word of God, revealed, that can save a rebellious soul!

Please pray for Keegan that the Lord can open his eyes to see his true condition and repent and turn to the Savior

Watch as a young female college student who has the passion and courage to try to prevent the Gospel being proclaimed with her own bullhorn.

Do you think that offering free water on hot summer nights is an appropriate way to try to reach out to those who are lost? In (John 4: 17-18), Jesus confronted her with the fact that she was living an immoral lifestyle by living with a man who was not her husband...violating the 7th Commandment.

We need to alert those who have been given false information about how a forgiving God is and remind them that He is also a Righteous and Just God. Because of His nature He must punish those who violate His Commands.

So when He opens our eyes to realize we are Law breakers and we deserve to burn in Hell, and that He provided a way for us to be set free. He lowered Himself and become a man to take the punishment for the crimes that you and I committed.

So by placing our trust in what Jesus did on the Cross, we can't save ourselves with our so called good works, (Eph. 2:8-10) we must Repent! feel remorse, regret for offending a Holy God, then our sins can be forgiven, past present and future. (It's called being born again!)

This night again was filled with people desiring to hear the true Gospel message.

Anne mentioned to me that she had given out all of the 100 pact of million dollar tracts she had and it was only around 9:30. I gave her a bunch more and off she went to share with the lost with a big smile.

My understanding from the rest of the sowers was that almost five hundred tracts were given out and we were able to give away 20 bottles of water with almost all of them taking the Good Person Test.

View the videos and watch as the those who are asked about their eternal destiny when confronted by God's law His Ten Commandments they suddenly change their demeanor and realize maybe for the first time that God is not just a forgiving God, but also a just God, and a Righteous God and by His nature He punish those who have violated His Laws.

We shared with Frieda and Israel and noticed how convicted they became to the point that they wanted to do something about it. We didn't video them but were able to video the one below.

Watch closely as their friends try to make them leave, yet they stay to hear more. Can you how see the Holy Spirit convicts them to repent and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Not sure about this person but her costume was unique, especially on a hot summer night

Hot night for the Lord on the streets of Tempe

Tonight was an awesome night! Alan, Ann, Catherine, Dan, Doug came to the WOTM Laboratory to get more training on how to use the words from the "What Did Jesus Do" script that helps everyone engage with anyone, simply, effectively and Biblically.

Later on Dale, Phil & Sean showed up as well. With so many laborers for the Lord He was well pleased as those whom He has called were being obedient servants! (Luke 5:32, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8)

Watch as this video shows those who showed up.

Watch Alan speaks the Law with those who pass by.

Watch as Ann gives her first Open Air

Watch as this man John, learns the real meaning of truly being Born Again.
Then watch as another young man, James, has a desire to share his life with me.

Watch how when confronted with her guilt she decides to run from the truth to continue in the life she is comfortable with. We need to pray that as she goes on her why the Holy Spirit will continue to work on her so that she Repents and turns to the Savior.

Honoring the Lord Today

2010-06-18T20:33:00.000-07:00

I just had to post this today, as it truly was for the Glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I was able to give out twenty Gospel tracts and had one “One 2 One Encounter”.

It started out at McDonald's around 7am where I meet with two men to study God's Word and hold each other accountable for our actions.

A little girl came walking by our table with a very pretty doll with thick blond hair. I commented on the doll's hair and saw a big smile on the girl’s face. I asked how old she was and she said nine yrs old. She turned to sit with what looked like her grandfather and I asked him if I could show his granddaughter a trick. He nodded and I made the Ten Commandment coin appear out of thin air. Her eyes got really big and she asked how I did that.

Now what happens next is not unusual as this is the reaction I usually get. Her hand reached out for it as if it belonged to her. I then asked if she would like to have it, she said yes. I then told her that it was a commemorative coin and that it had the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other and to have her grandfather read it to her. (If any of you know me, you know that I have a hearing problem and I’m sure that others heard me)

The next part is also typical because she had 2 sisters who saw her get something and they then had their hands out as well. I gave them each a coin and then gave the first one (3) of the million dollar Gospel tracts and asked if she would give them to her grandfather and her parents who were sitting at the next table. The grandfather read the back and thanked us for sharing!

From there Alan and I went to a meeting in Chandler to investigate a business opportunity. We were taken to this beautiful office building and had to wait for another person to show up before the tour began. While waiting I noticed that the reception desk was adorned with stainless steel covering. I asked the receptionist did she know how amazing this metal is, if you just know how to tap it, things can happen. I showed her my hands and asked if she could see anything in them and when she said no, I snapped my finger twice and produced the Ten Commandment coin. She said WOW! I like magic! I told her it was a commemorative coin with the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other. I mentioned that most people I meet do not know the Commandments but that it would be a good idea if she knew them as one day she could be judged by them.

Being she mentioned she liked magic, and the person we were waiting for hadn't shown up yet, I stated that if she liked that one then she would love this one.

I took out the Pink & Blue illusion and she was amazed! I told her that her eyes could fool her couldn't they, she said,“ Yes”.
I then asked if she would sell one of her eyes for a million dollars, she said no! I asked how about both eyes for 10 million, still no.
I then stated that her eyes were precious to her weren't they. She said yes!
I then said maybe we should look at what Jesus said about our eyes, that if your eye causes you to sin then it would be better if you plucked it out because it would be better to enter Heaven with one eye then to be cast into Hell with both.
If that were true then maybe we should look at the other Commandments He gave us.

The 9th, had she ever lied? She said, “ Yes”, What would you be called? She said, “Liar”.
The 8th, not to steal, she said, “Yes,” I then asked what do you call someone who does that, she said, “Thief”.
The 3rd, was not to use God's name as a curse word, again, yes.
I told her God was very serious about that one as He stated that He would not hold anyone guiltless who did that...He takes it seriously and yet most of us think nothing about doing it and she agreed.
I asked her if God were to judge her based on those commandments and we only did (3), would she be innocent or guilty? She said she would be guilty.
I then asked where would God have to send you, Heaven or Hell, she stated, as most of us who have the wrong concept of who God really is, ...Heaven.

I asked how could that be as she just admitted to breaking (3) of God's Laws and there were (7) more to go.
She stated that the Commandments were probably not what God would judge her by, because if He did, then everyone would be in Hell.
She then stated how she had been a good person and tries to live a good life by thinking of others.
I then explained that God has given us His Law and He stated that they are written on our hearts.
She knew it was wrong to lie, steal and swear, so if He is a just God He would have to punish those who do it.
I mentioned that time doesn't forgive sin and that one day we are all going to face Him and we will get what we deserve!
She then changed her demeanor and with her head down stated that she would go to Hell.
I asked if that concerned her and she said, “Yes!”

I asked again and then she said, “He died on the Cross?”

I then said that's not it, yet many people wrongly believe that. That would mean everyone would be going to Heaven.
I gave her an example that if I had broken man's law and the judge was going to sentence me to jail or pay a fine of $100K, which I didn't have, and suddenly someone came into the courtroom and gave the judge a certified check for it, the judge could let me go, right?
She agreed. I then said that's what Jesus did for sinners like me and you. He paid the fine for the crimes we committed against a Holy God and because of His shed blood, death and resurrection He saved us from that punishment. What we need to do is repent, turn from our sinful life and place our trust in Him alone!

I asked her that when she was at home tonight to seriously consider what she just heard and ask God to reveal the truth about her eternal life, as I didn't have the power to change her heart, only the Holy Spirit can do that.

I left her with a few more tracts and she thanked me for sharing with her.

I then explained to her that those of us who claim Christ as Lord are commanded to do. The Love He poured out for us even thought we don't deserve it, is to share with others that we encounter so that they too may have a chance for eternal life.

Her name is Mariah, so pray that the Lord can open her heart and the truth sets her free!

Just as we finished up with the tour another high level person greeted us and thanked us for going through it and stated that if we join them in this business would be millionaires! You guessed it! Everyone in the group as well as this executive and the guard got a million. Again you should have seen the excitement on their faces!

Thinking the day was done, Alan graciously asked if I would like to have lunch as he knew of a Chinese restaurant nearby. Inside was a little helper who was obliviously part of this Chinese family as she was helping clean up the tables as the customers left. I called her over and asked, “what was her name”, she said, Joyce, she was nine yrs old. I asked how would she like to see what magic this silver teapot had that was on our table. With two snaps of my finger a sliver coin appeared! You should have seen her face as she exclaimed WOW, how did you do that.

I told her it was a commemorative coin and that it had the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other and to have her parents read them to her.

This place was small and her excitement caught the attention of the others who were eating, as well as her mom and aunt who worked there. Joyce asked if I knew of any other magic as she liked magic. I then showed her the Pink & Blue illusion card and she was amazed at that as well. Her mom was now really watching me with her daughter and I had them participate as well.

They were enamored with the illusion and I told them to read the back as it had an important message on it.

Yep all those who were working in the restaurant got a million as well as the customers who were eagerly watching what was going on. As we left we were thankful that the seeds of His Word were placed in the hands of those who may never have had the chance to have them.

What came to me at the end of this day was that I would be sending this out to over 200 of you who could also be able to share using this Biblical principle that is taught by The Way of the Master.

So do the math! 20 tracts times 200 laborers for Christ is 4000 people who in one day would have received the Word of God. I’m sure our Heavenly Father would be well pleased that each of us got out of our comfort zone to do that. Remember what Jesus went through for us at the Garden of Gethsemane? , Not my will but Your will be done!

Friday Night at the Phoenix Art Fair

2010-06-12T14:33:00.000-07:00

It almost felt like the people on the street were like salmon swimming up stream! I hope by watching this video you get an idea of how many people were there. Handing out the Million Dollar Gospel Tracts was easy.

I was also able to do an "Open Air" to draw a crowd so that I could have someone take the Good Person Test. After drawing a crowd with trivia questions this young lady, Erica , raised her hand when I offer a five dollar bill to prove she was a good person. After she answered the questions about violating some of God 's Law's her demeanor turned to despair. I wish you could have been seen the look on her face and to watch as her whole body reflected the guilt she was facing.
