Pahrump was fantastic!

Luke and I had a fantastic time of ministry at Pahrump Community Church in Pahrump, Nevada. The event was Saturday afternoon from 4pm to 7pm. I basically spoke for the 3-hours straight through. It was a wonderful time with a great audience. We also had a great time with the question and answer period. Our friend Jim is going to get us a copy of the event (both audio and video) so hopefully we'll be able to hook you up with a copy :]

Special thanks and appreciation to Jim Scott for organizing the event and allowing us the opportunity to equip and bless the saints in Pahrump. We look forward to returning to serve Christ with you again Jim!

Witnesses and Latter-day Saints this weekend in Nevada

This coming weekend Luke and I will be at Pahrump Community Church in Pahrump, Nevada.  I will be speaking on reaching out to Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints.  We will be doing two separate sessions followed by a question and answer period.

Please pray for us.  Pray that God would be glorified in the preaching and the question and answer time period.  It is my understanding that this has been advertised and we hope to have some members of each group in attendance.

Also, please pray for Luke and I as we travel to Nevada and try to return safely by Sunday evening so that we can be back on time for Apologia Church at 5pm.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Freaky Star Trek Christians...

I thought you might get a kick out of this.

So yesterday I was doing some counseling with someone while sitting outside of Starbucks. We were discussing forgiveness and why God commands believers to forgive others. I was telling the story of the slave who owed a debt he could never repay, when an well-dressed, well-groomed and mature older-lady walked up to us with a very pleasant and large smile on her face and said:

"Do you know what you religious freaks sound like when you speak? You sound like Trekkies! (making googly finger movements) LoooLooooLaaaaaLaaaaaLOOOlaaaaaLooooLaaa!"

I have to admit, I was cracking up! So she just walked away laughing. I tried to encourage her to return and speak with us. She all but ran with her tail between her legs to her car. The funniest part of this story is that this lady did not look like someone who would act so foolish and childish. I'll bet she was rehearsing that moment the whole time she was inside getting her coffee. And that is about the best the atheist worldview has to offer. Sound-bites. No substance. No nerve. No courage. No respect. No reason.

As immature as this lady was, I'll admit, I was dying laughing and it made my day. You should have seen the look on her face! She had such a look of total satisfaction.

New Shirts!

We have had a lot of people asking us for shirts lately, so we have just placed an order for these new Apologia Church shirts. They are Gildan 6400 soft Style 100% Cotton, so they are very soft and tight fitting, much like the other shirts we have. The background is actual sermon notes from Charles Spurgeon. The banners read "Preserve" and "Persevere" in the Greek. If you are interested in pre-ordering one, let us know. They will probably go quickly. We are asking for a $20 donation.
