A Spherical Gospel Tract
Last summer, my wife and I attended her class reunion. We piled into one of her classmate’s cars to do some sight seeing for the day. I was surprised to find some gospel tracts I was familiar with in their … Continue reading
UN Chief Castigates Hamas
Israel consistently takes a beating in the arena of public opinion for causing civilian casualties among the Palestinians. However, a little bit of truth came out in the UN Security Council. John Holmes, the Humanitarian Affairs Chief of the UN … Continue reading
Barry Lynn Debates Without a Bible
Here’s a portion of a debate between James White, and Barry Lynn, on the topic, “Is Homosexuality Compatible with Biblical Christianity?” I think the fact that the “Reverend” didn’t bother to bring a Bible to the debate illustrates his lack … Continue reading

Lifestyle Evangelism Is a Logical Impossibility
When I first started witnessing I assumed that when I ran into Christians, they would cheerfully offer their encouragement and prayers. That hasn’t turned out to be the case, and I’ve come to dread running into Christians, because most say … Continue reading
One Reason Why We’re In This Economic Mess
I had the television on in the background while doing other things last Saturday. I was watching Bulls and Bears on Fox News, and the panel had a short discussion on how divorce affects the economy. I was shocked that … Continue reading
A Prophet’s Bizarre Beliefs

Poignant Commentary from James White
In my Bible study this morning, we discussed what we should be praying for Barack Obama. It turned into an hour long discussion, and it seemed we arrived at many of the same conclusions that James White has arrived at … Continue reading

Witnessing at the Democratic National Convention
A friend and I met some guys from Nebraska to go witnessing at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last month. It was quite interesting to see the overwhelming police presence, the great number of reporters, and the creepy protestors. … Continue reading

A Mormon Mistake
Mormons believe that Jesus is Jehovah, (the LORD in most versions of the Old Testament). I would certainly agree with them on that. Since that is the case, it becomes very easy to refute most of what they believe about … Continue reading

Becoming a God
If you’re looking for a religion that promotes the aspiration to become a god, you won’t have to look far. This seemingly popular doctrine must appeal to a basic desire of sinful men. Satan played on this desire in the … Continue reading

Confronting the Religious
Pilgrim’s post showing street preachers confronting an antichrist church reminded me of some other similar videos I’ve seen and enjoyed. May God grant every one of us the boldness these guys have. The first two videos are a couple of … Continue reading
Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Children of the Devil?
When I ask if Jehovah’s Witnesses are children of the devil, I’m not trying to provoke an emotional response. The Watchtower leaves me with no other option than to answer that question in the affirmative. I’ve asked many Jehovah’s Witnesses … Continue reading

Movie Review: Fireproof
I got to see Fireproof last week, and I thouroughly enjoyed it. My wife works for a Christian organization, so we got to see it before its offical release in September. Not only is it entertaining, but it also has … Continue reading
Fun with My 1,000 Closest Jehovah’s Witness Friends
My friend and I had an adventure at the Jehovah’s Witness district convention on the weekend. Our goal was to pass out tracts to those leaving the event. I was surprised by how large the event was—probably a few thousand … Continue reading
Words are Necessary
Random pastors, an elder in my church, and a special breed of drunk “Christians” (who try to pass themselves off as expert advisers as they stumble out of bars) all give me eerily similar advice: my evangelism methods are all … Continue reading
Was Hitler a Hindu?
Interestingly, there are many similarities between Hitler’s beliefs and Hinduism. Hitler Hinduism People of Aryan descent are a more pure race. Society is divided into castes, and the higher castes are expected to have lighter skin. The term “Aryan” comes … Continue reading
Half-Price Million-Dollar Bills
Livingwaters.com has cut the price of its million-dollar bill gospel tracts from $6 for 100 tracts to $3 through the end of May. These may be the easiest tracts to pass out en masse or to start conversations. Here are a … Continue reading
Creation in the Park
Right across the street from the local high school is a city park, and every day after school there are 50-100 kids that go hang out in the park. My friend had the idea to make copies of some DVDs … Continue reading
Only 144,000 In Heaven (Give Or Take a Billion)
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that none of the Old Testament saints are going to heaven. Only 144,000 good Jehovah’s Witnesses (who have lived since Jesus’ death) will be in heaven. The Old Testament saints and today’s generation of JWs will eventually … Continue reading

Does Allah Think Mary is God?
According to Muslims, The Koran was spoken to the angel Gabriel, who gave it to Muhammad to write down. While I wouldn’t expect Allah to say the Trinity exists, I would certainly think he would be familiar with the doctrine. … Continue reading
Australians Arrested for Preaching the Gospel
Two open-air preachers, on Australia’s Gold Coast, who have been preaching in the same location for two years were arrested last Sunday, April 13. I certainly don’t intend to liken their situation to Christians in other countries who are being … Continue reading
The Miraculous Evolution of Bats
Bats are the only flying mammal. Many bat species are also visually blind, but with echolocation (sonar), they can “see” better than humans. Evolutionists have zero plausible theories about how bats evolved. However I have heard one rather silly theory … Continue reading
