Christian? What are you supposed to be doing? To whom shall you answer one day? With whose blood were you purchased? By whose strength do you stand? By what Spirit are you made alive? Into whose death were you baptised? By whose hand were you washed? In whose footsteps do you follow? By whose hand are you upheld? With what power do you stand? In whose kingdom do you belong? To what end are you

“I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” Rom 1:16At the very heart of Christianity is a message. A declaration of certain historical events that have profound significance for every single human being on the planet. If you think otherwise – that Christianity is a way of life, or adherence to a standard of morality set by the

Hi everyone. It's been a while since my last blog. I have wanted to blog many times within the last weeks, but trials and exhaustion have overwhelmed me. Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know that I will again be a bloggin and I hope you will be a readin. Go bless you and see you soon.

The MAC has been a tremendous source of stress for me as it seems to be so thoroughly corrupt. There is no end to the heresies that spring up on a daily bases. People care more about what Billy Graham thinks, than about what Jesus Christ Has said in His Word. Men would sooner turn to soothsayers and dead philosophers than to the true and living God. I don’t know about you, but I

I rescently sent this e-mail to Barrak Obama in regard to the murder of children. Dear President Obama,Thank you for taking my e-mail, as I know you must be very busy. My question to you, sir, is in regard to what you call, “A woman’s right to choose.” Firstly, I would like to pose the question, what makes a human being a human being? Is it the fact that they all look and act the same? No,

In my many dealings with the monster known as the Modern American Church (MAC), the one issue that I keep running into is, what is God like? Everyone, it seems, has their own idea of what God is like. I have heard everything from, God is Love, to God would never send anyone to hell and the ever persistent God has a wonderful plan for you.Now before I get into what I believe to be the root of all

So, you say that you are a Christian, and you rely on the Bible, and boast in God, and know His will, and agree with the things that are essential. You are convinced that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those in darkness, a correcter of the foolish, and teacher of those young in the faith, having in the Bible the written manifestation of knowledge and of the truth.You then who teach

I participated in Project Ezra for the first time this weekend. The project was started by Tony Miano, and is dedicated to the public reading of scripture, (out loud, of course). I took Tony's suggestion and read John 3 at Lakefair, and used it as a springboard to a presentation of the gospel. It is such a beautiful passage of scripture for transitioning into the gospel!It's interesting to note

I am often seen as the ‘intellectual guy’ by those who have spent much time with me. To an extent that is true. The rest of the team nicknamed me ‘the Scholar’ after all. That said, theology and doctrine are not antithetic to passion and fellowship to me. Rather, they should support one another.What most people fail to realize is, whenever you make any statement about God, you are making a

Recently I have been thinking a lot about the Modern American Church(MAC). I have been discussing the subject with friends and family. I see many videos on YouTube dealing with the subject. Many think the problems with the MAC. come as result of false teaching and doctrine, and therefore devote there lives and existence to correcting these errors. Others don't seem to care one way or another and

I have been thinking a lot about the importance of praying. Ask yourself these questions; Do you pray like you should? Do you seek the Lord with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength? Who of us can say, that on a daily bases we pray as we ought to? Can you ever pray enough?Do you pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ? Do you pray for this nation? Do you pray for the lost? Do you pray

Recently I have been weighing in my heart and praying about how we should respond to a profession of faith. Should we take it at face value and just treat them as a brother or sister in Christ until they give us reason to believe otherwise? Should we go the other way and assume that they are a false convert until they prove that they are truly born again? I do not feel either of these are careful

The Forth of July is the day we as Americans celebrate our independence from Britannic Tyranny. After much blood shed by both parties our ancestors were finally able to vanquish the British troops once and for all. Imagine this scenario. You are a Colonist in America.

Sola Fide is the second foundational principal that makes up the Five Solas. Essentially, it means that salvation is by faith alone. This was established as opposed to the Catholic doctrines and practices that includes praying to saints, the virgin Mary, paying fees to visit holy relics, etc. It walks hand in hand with Solus Christus (by Christ alone), and for that reason, I will address them

Sola Scriptura is one of five foundational doctrinal principles of the Protestant Reformation. Unfortunately, several of these foundational principles are being ignored, if not outright abandoned today. That being the case, I am writing a series of blogs on some of these doctrines as a reminder of what biblical Christianity is, and a call for born again believers everywhere to embrace doctrine

A commonly quoted verse for so called ‘Friendship Evangelism’ is Matt 5:16.“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”Proponents of ‘Friendship Evangelism’ use this as license for just ‘living a good life’ so that people will eventually be so overwhelmed by how different we are, that they will conclude

Dear friends,Right now God is doing some great things with Northwest Street Ministries. We count it a great privilege to be used by God for the winning of souls.

Recently I've had well meaning individuals question me about why I would ever be so crazy as to step on a soap box and preach to people on the street. I've asked myself the very same question many times. To be quite honest, the first couple months I went out with the team, I thought open-air preaching was a bit too 'in-your-face' a method to spread the gospel. And of course, it is 'in-your-face'

Often when we think of divine appointments, we think of those encounters in which the Gospel hearer is resceptive and open and seems to have had the soil well tilled already. But should we only count the encounters that seem to go really smoothly as divine appointments, or should we count the tough ones as well? Yesterday I was in Target handing out tracts and I figured that while I was there I

When Mike, Jimmy and I arrived at Kent Station, the parking garage was packed. Naturally we preapared for hundreds of people to be on the streets. However, when we made our way to our fishing hole, (Scott and Carl were already there) the foot-traffic was disproportionately low. Not to be discouraged, we jumped right into passing out tracts, and one-to-one conversations. None of us did open-air

Rescently I was down at Sylvester Park in downtown Olympia. I had just listened to Rays message on demonic manifestations the day before, but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience.

Firstly, I would like to thank all of you who are supporting us with your prayers and supplications. We so desire that God would work through our ministry and use us to win souls. We are preaching in probably the most atheistic and liberal part of the country. There are so few in this state that will answer the call to preach the gospel to every creature.

Hi again everyone! I am trying my very best to stay faithful with these blogs as I know that many of you are eager to know what the Lord is doing in our ministry. Rescently we had a rummage sale and that brought in enough money for another tract order. It has been very difficult to purchase enough tracts to meet the demand. We are going through roughly about 7000 tracts a month right now and

Can apologetics (the intellectual defense of biblical truth) be used in witnessing effectively? If so, then to what extent? How much effort should we put into studying evidence for the authenticity of the message of the gospel? These are important questions to consider.We live in an age of pseudo-intellectualism, and post-modernism. Simultaneously people believe that science will give us the

Well, It has been a while, but I am back to posting again. I have come to realize that blogging is very important, as it allows those that would support our ministry either through prayer or finatial support to see what we are up to.

The Christmas holiday can be a perfect opportunity to share your faith. It is a simple task to switch from the natural to the spiritual during this time of year. A comment like, “It’s terrible how Christmas has become so commercialized, because it has robbed the holiday of its true meaning,” will do the trick quite nicely. From there, you have an open door to talk about the reason Christ was born

Today at work I was with a co-worker (and friend) at lunch, and we were talking about the things of God. He is not a Christian. He rejects the Bible as the inspired Word of God and believes there is no difference between a human and a monkey. He would say that we are just a little smarter but no more valuable. I usually entertain his foolishness for a bit and then I direct the conversation back

I hear people say time and time again, that soul winning is a spiritual gift. I have often wondered about the thought process of people who make this radical claim. Would they also tell me that feeding starving children is a spiritual gift? Or how about saving a drowning child?I have also heard the arguement that because we are all diferent members of the body of Christ that not all are called

When we preach, (notice I do not say if) we must always be careful not to fall into sentimentality, but keep ourselves focused on the substance of the gospel. Sentiment only leads us into making the gospel into a man centered thing, and it is meant to be thoroughly God exalting, even as it secures eternal life for sinners that fall on their face before the throne of grace.What, then, is the

Something I hear so very often from those who oppose Calvinist theology is, "If God chooses who will believe, then we don't even need to spread the gospel, because God will bring them to faith regardless of whether we preach or not." This is meant as an argument for why Calvinism can't be true, because we are obviously commanded to preach the gospel. (Mark 16:15) However, I think that it only

The majority of professing Christians today hold to a theology called Armenianism or synergism. In this view, God has done His part in saving us by providing a way, (the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in our place, for our sins) and we respond by providing the means by which this saving work is applied to us, (accepting Jesus as our savior).A favorite Armenian illustration of

I wonder if we Christians don't often forget that Christ promised us persecution if we follow Him. It seems to me that there are so many professing believers who think that faith in Jesus means their life will become easier. That God will bless them with earthly luxuries and worldly pleasures. It is my opinion that this philosophy is a major factor in what has led to the sad statistics of how few
