A Love For Souls!

This is an exert from "How To Bring Men To Christ" by R. A. Torrey:

But how is one to get a love for souls? This question is easily answered. First of all a love for souls like very other grace of Chris- tian character is the work  of the Holy Spirit. If then we are conscious that we do not have that love for souls that we should have, the first thing to do is to go to God and humbly confess this lack in our lives and ask Him by His Hol y Spirit to supply that which we so sorely need and expect Him to do it (i. Jno. V. 14, I5i Phil. iv. 19). In the second place Jesus Christ had an intense love tor souls (Matt, xsiii. 37; Luke xix. 10), and intimate and constant companionship with Him will impart to our lives this grace hich was so prominent in His. In the third place feelings are the outcome of thoughts. If we desire any given feeling in our lives we should dwell upon the thoughts which are adapted to produce that feeling. If any saved person will dwell upon the peril  and wretchedness of any man out of Christ and the worth of his soul in God's sight as seen in the death of God's Son to save him, a feeling of intense desire for that man's salvation is almost certain to follow. In the fourth place, reflection upon our own ruined and unhappy condition without Christ and the great sacrifice that Christ made to save us, is sure to fill our hearts with a desire to bring others to the Saviour that we have found.  

        

May The Lord Be With You! Saturday Witnessing

I heard that tomorrow is Star War's Day, so I gave out a few Star War's millions from Gospel Tract Planet. Chris took one at Ross. We went to Petco to get an item for our new puppy that we are getting tomorrow. Quinn and Dravin, two employees, took one there. At Walmart, a man who was asking for money at the front took one. He said that he was saved, but I think he was using that as part of his presentation. Several others took them inside and out in the parking lot. 

So many need the Gospel! The hour is urgent! Let's pray for workers for the harvest and the fields of the harvest! May The Lord be with you! 

Here is how the back of the tract reads:

Have you ever tested your "Dark Side?" Everyone has a Dark Side, but most people have no idea how dark it is. Let's take a look at yours... Have you ever lied, stolen (regardless of value), or looked with lust? Jesus said "whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Guilt results in an eternal Hell because God is Holy. 

Imagine a man in a courtroom; a criminal guilty of serious crimes. He is tried, convicted, and sentenced to life or a fine of a MILLION DOLLARS. when the judge steps down and pays his fine! Even though he's still guilty, his fine has been paid and justice has been satisfied! The judge was both merciful and just. This is what Jesus did for sinners. While fully God and fully man, Jesus lived a sinless life. In love He took the wrath of God and penalty for sin on Himself on the Cross. Then He rose from the grave, showing the penalty paid. 

What should you do? God commands you to repent and trust in Jesus ALONE. Don't trust in "good works." Cry out to God for mercy and put your faith in Jesus, confessing and forsaking sins. God will change your heart so you will desire Holiness. Make peace with God today; you may not have tomorrow. Eternity is worth much more than a MILLION DOLLARS!

Monday Night Witnessing

We were at Walmart tonight when our shifting cable broke in our van. Our friend from church, who is a mechanic, came to our rescue to give it a temporary fix. As we were going back into Walmart to get a few groceries, I saw two Mormon elders who were leaving. I approached them as they were going to their bikes. I recognized Elder Bloodworth, who I gave a Hoppy Easter tract to at McDonald's before Easter. He remembered me. Elder Mobley was the name of the other. I presented them both with  a Spurgeon Million from Gospel Tract Planet. I told them that I was an evangelical Christian; that the tract presented the law and the gospel. I also told them that we did street ministry. We didn't debate doctrine or get into an argument. Please pray that's these two men will receive the truth and get born again!

In Walmart, I gave out several tracts. We ran into a man who I met there a while back. I told him what happened with the Mormons. He was well versed amount Mormon teachings and has witnessed to some. I gave him an invitation to join the Bezeugen Tract Club. A dentist, who I know, came up while we were talking. Later, he asked what we were doing. I was able to gib him a million dollar bill, too. He is Catholic, but he goes to a Church of Christ Bible study. 

Afterwards, we went to Taco Bell. I gave Alfred a ManCard. He said that he was a Christian and that he was going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage. I said a quick prayer for him and his wife there. I also gave millions to several employees. As we were leaving, I gave a tract to a Buddhist college student named Sanjae. He is from Nepal. He said that there were Muslims, Buddhist, Hindus, and Christians there. Please pray that he will be saved through reading the tract. How did you do in witnessing today?

Friday Night Evangelism - April 4, 2014

We went to The Trial Bar on Friday night from 10:00 - 11:30. We took the "Are You Ready" cross with us. This usually brings people over without us saying anything. We started the night out  by doing our prayer walk. On the way back to the bar, we saw someone walking toward us on the other side of the road. As we approached the person, we realized that it was a transvestite. His name was Chris. After I gave him a Lucky Buck tract, I asked if he knew where he was going if he died in five minutes. He said that he didn't. I asked him to read the tract. 

We mainly aimed for conversations. It wasn't that busy, but there was lost people there. We talked to a young man who called himself "Rez". (Later on, we found out that his name was Mike.) He told us that he had a "spiritual" experience through drinking a tea. Bro. Gary told him that Satan comes as an angel of light in disguise. Rez is a talker and would make a good soul-winner if he gets saved. A man that apologized for heckling us the last time we were there said that he had a satanic bible with him. It seems that we started a few conversations by being there. I asked Derek if he knew where he was going if he died in 5 minutes. He said "hell". At least he was honest. I gave him an Are You Ready? tract and asked him to read it later. 

We plan on going out next around the middle of May. Please keep this street ministry in your prayers. 

New Tract Holder At A Laundry Mat

I've got several tract holders and baskets at three laundry mats and one convenience store. I went to restock at the West Monroe location a few weeks ago, but it was gone. I got another one at Office Depot on Thursday. I put tracts in it and placed it there on Saturday. The tracts get taken! Pray that no one will take the holder!

MCDOUBLE EVANGELISM

Scott hands out two tracts in the drive thru at McDonalds with one trip! It’s what we call McDouble Evangelism!

The Hoppy Easter Tract

Easter is coming! This season presents opportunities to witness about the resurrection. The "Hoppy Easter" tract is one of my favorites to use. It can be ordered through onemilliontracts.com by going to the Bezeugen tracts - http://www.shop.onemilliontracts.com/Bezeugen-Gospel-Tracts_c28.htm

. Here is what the tract says on the back: 

It's not a misprint. It really says "Hoppy Easter" Why? At Easter time many people decorate eggs and hunt for them. Others stand in line at the mall to see the Easter bunny. Yet, Easter is not about eggs and bunnies. The true message of Easter is that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Christ had to die to pay for the sins of the whole world. Let's see if you needed him to die for you. The Bible says that it is appointed once to die and then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Ever told a lie? Stolen anything? Hated someone? Christ calls hatred murder (Matthew 5:21). That's just three of the Ten Commandments. Would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? Because God is just, there must be a payment for your sin. Either you can pay by spending eternity in Hell or you can receive, by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ the free gift that God has for you (Mark 1:15, Ephesians 2:8-9). Instead of "Hoppy Easter", repent of your sin and put your trust in Jesus Christ. He will grant you eternal life. Happy Easter!

Saturday Witnessing

We had a great time with tracts today. We were in town for several hours. My 8 year old son and I gave out around 60 Lucky Bucks, Are You Lucky tracts, and million dollar bills while waiting on my wife & daughter at a shopping center. Courtney asked me for money, but he got a million instead. He said that he was a Christian, but found out that he wasn't when I took him through the commandments. I gave out several tracts at our mall. I gave one to a young man named Innocent. I had to ask him if he stood before God, would he be "innocent" or guilty! At one other stop, Marcus read the back of his tract out loud in front of several people. When it came to the part about adultery, he said "I've done that!". I asked him to think about what he read. At Walmart, I gave a tract to Casey. He said that he played music in church. He thanked me for giving our tracts. I invited him to join the Bezeugen Tract Club. It was a good day!
