All Worn Out

I don't have any energy left to argue any more. Or at least that was the way I felt yesterday after a couple of hours of defending the Gospel in the God Mobile at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe. To the question, "Do you believe you will go to heaven when you die?", athiest after athiest would come up and respond "No". I would ask, "why do you say that?", and they would answer "because I don't believe in Heaven."

Well, at one point when a late teen/early twenties couple came up, and responded that way, I looked down at my flip chart, and looked back up at them and said, "Well, I guess we don't have anything to talk about then do we?" They chuckled and departed.

Thank God for the unexpected blessings of people young and old who were willing to be receptive to the Gospel message. They make it worth all the effort (and it really isn't that much effort anyways.)

Also, praise God for young Sebastian, who kept running up and pointing to the flip-chart and saying yes. He also asked about when Jesus was coming again and he heard us talking about the rapture and wanted to know about that and heaven.

Finally, it was a blessing to be able to give out a few New Testaments, to some who had made professions of faith. I got the strong impression that those Bibles would indeed be read.

God bless...

Trey

This evening, a guy parked his red ford ranger pickup on the side of our house. I was painting the back door to the laundry room, and I was busy, and I have been very hesitant to go witnessing to people as they have still been buying drugs next to our house. I waited and watched, to see if he lit up... I couldn't see anything being sparked, so I finally decided to go grab a million dollar bill and go give it to him and see what would happen.

I said Hi, have you gotten one of these? as I handed him the bill. He said what is this, I said, it's a Gospel tract, do you have much exposure to the Gospel? He said, yes, my father is a pastor of Calvary Chapel ??? [somewhere south].

I said, oh, well then, I wonder if you were to die today, would you go to heaven? He said yes. I said, what makes you sure of that? He said, I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I asked him if he considered himself to be a good person, and you know the rest. He ranked # one on the human predictability chart.

I explained the Gospel to him and I said, thanks for listening to me. God bless...

AquaFest 2010

I spent last Saturday afternoon at AquaFest in Lake Stevens, handing out Gospel tracts at the parade, then sitting in the GodMobile sharing the Gospel with young people and one Jewish couple. The Jewish man said, very abruptly, "Your God is my God's Son". Well said!

God bless...

Ironing Things Out

John and I at our practice session before going into the prison. Using an ironing board as a music stand.
