Statement: “THERE IS NO GOD!”
Statement:
“THERE IS NO GOD!”
Answer:
You mean “YOU HOPE THERE IS
NO GOD!”
Dear Reader, as a Street Preacher, you get to hear it
all.
A modern worldly ‘confident’ lady (not really) … aka
an insensitive brash lady with no shamefacedeness
(1 Timothy 2:9)… you
know …
sisters doing it for themselves … brushed past me today whispering but
loud
enough to be heard by me … they are too embarrassed to say it out loud
… “There is no God!”
Of course, she was wrong on two accounts, as
the Bible says there are many gods … and there is only THE
God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Now
being
guided by the injunctions of answering a fool or not answering a fool
(Proverbs
26:4-5), sometimes I reply … lest they be wise in their own
conceit.
In
this
case, I immediately said … and I’ve tried all sorts of replies that
have to be
hastily squeezed into a two-second time frame as they rush by … “I’ll put you down for a “NO” then?”
And
this jolted
her … but not missing a beat she bull-dozed on … and gathering up the
remains
of her punctured, swaggering and pompous verbal ‘balloon’ … she
‘flipped the
bird’.
Being
lost
for words, that’s all she could do.
I
should
imagine that under her breath she was saying ... “Fancy a Street
Preacher
saying something like that to me! I’ve never been so humiliated like
that in my
life! … the nerve of him! … shouldn’t they be more like Jesus …
gratefully
thanking the public for throwing ‘rocks and stones’ at them! What’s the
world
coming to! Harrumph! Harrumph!”
Now
in
times past I would have earnestly entreated and said something like “Oh
no!
That doesn’t have to be like that!” … but not so much now ... it just
depends.
In
fact
these people help me to preach!
What
I do
now, is to take what people say to me, and immediately preach it out
loud
as the following …
So
I said “A
lady just walked by me and said there is no God! How about that! I’m
devastated! Well I have to tell you folks that shook me right up! Oh! I
must be
wasting my time here on the street for years now! Oh! I’d better pack
up and go
home and never come out again! Oh! No heaven, no hell and no God!
That’s just
destroyed me! I’m shattered!
This
makes
people laugh … because most suspect it may not be true.
Anyhow,
Satan
hates mocking!
And
Dear
Reader, do you know what? A lot of people look at me and smile … and
are
genuinely amused … as they can see I am not daunted in any way with
opposition.
They agree with my right to preach … free speech and all that.
There
is an
admiration of “Man, you got guts!”
But
of
course, this is what is called “The Australian Way” … which is
“We might
or might not agree with you, but we ‘admire’ you speaking what you have
to say.
People
will
forgive you for anything in Australia … but not for three
things
… being weak; being a paedophile
or hurting babies.
Sometimes
you just have to let people go … and it’s called the foolishness of
preaching
(1 Corinthians 1:21) … and in the common parlance … you cop it sweet.
Now
Dear
Reader, as we near the end of things … and I mean the closeness
of
the rapture … people have set their sails … have got
off the
fence … hardened their hearts to reject the salvation of
the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Why?
There
are many reasons … with one being … “Look, I’m 45 years old, and I’ve
based my
life on what I believe … and I don’t intend to be a laughing stock
among
my friends … let alone start my life all over again! Anyhow, I’m
not
as bad as some! Anyhow, I’ve tried religion … and
furthermore …
there’s nothing wrong with enjoying life (code words for fornication,
getting
drunk and so on). Anyhow … stop judging me … what about those Catholic
priests?”
I
think the
pop song says it all … “life in the fast lane” … you know … put the
foot down
and go hard … just dying to get lost!
And
as I
said to my wife “It’s like a dark night out there, the bridge is down,
you’re
waving a torch … but no one cares or wants to know about death or
eternity!”
“You
can
bash on someone’s door and yell … “Your house is on fire!” … and oh yeh
…
they’d come rushing out then. But their personal house … their soul …
no way
Hoze-ay.”
It’s
like
the one Jew that escaped the German gas chambers, rushed back
to his
people and described in detail the millions being killed … they would
not
believe him.
Here’s
another example … I have nine boards on display … and none
mention any
particular sin eg stealing, coveting, lying, homosexuality, no
denominations or
religion … and so on.
Note:
If
you target anyone sin or religion, they complain, and the police will
shut you
down as quick as anything.
No
Dear
Reader, you can still get away with Street Preaching by convicting?
(offending)
everyone!
So
I preach
ALL have sinned.
People
know
they’re sinners … “Yeh! I’ve got to better! Turn over a new leaf!” …
and so on.
Even
if
they don’t know about God demanding perfection, they know that they
have
violated their own standards as follows …
“Therefore
to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to
him it is
sin.” (James 4:17)
But
cop
this, another lady walks by and shouts “God loves gays!” …
quickly
disappearing around the corner … very brave you know.
But
with my
preaching and my boards … there is not a hint of sodomy, homosexuality,
transgenderism … but that’s how much this sin is ingrained in the DNA
of people
… that the LGBTQI loving crowd are troubled by their conscience
…
without the topic even being mentioned … Yes Siree! God’s put it in
their heart
alright ((John 1:9)
And
of
course, after the event, you think of replying “No, God loves
Christ!”
Now
Dear
Reader, don’t get me wrong, God so loved the world … PAST
TENSE …
ONCE … but not now!
God
says
“There’s my love Folks … my Son died on the cross for the sins of the
world … once
… two thousand years ago!”
As
a
Christian you cannot show people the love of Christ … dying for
their
sins … but you can tell them where to find it.
And
as I
preach on the street to everyone …
“That’s the horror of it all … you
had the
opportunity to get saved on the 16th September, the corner
of Edward
and Queen at 10.15 am … and you said “Not
for me!”
And
eventually,
most will scream “If God loves ‘gays’ … why am I now burning in hell?”
