In the heart of Glendale, Arizona, a scene of unwarranted violence unfolded against a backdrop of faith and conviction. Hans Schmidt, a 26-year-old father of two and a former military combat medic, became an unexpected victim in a brutal act of aggression.
People love their sin. Some of them murder, some scoff, some ignore, some engage intellectually, scientifically, some mock, some assume a religion that embrace their sin. But, THEY LOVE THEIR SIN. They hate Jesus. They overtly or secretly hate us. This is the world we live in. I would do what this man did, I wouldn’t have gone to the Sentinel Island to be murdered by inbred Savages. I think the word of God is out there. It’s available, for free. I’m reading The Christians as the Romans Saw Them. I’ve yet to read that they “street preached” at the Forum in Rome. Why? Because they would be killed. Keep provoking these sinners on the streets and they will arrest you or worse. Sharing the gospel is a one on one transaction, in my opinion. Because describing who Jesus is takes time, the gospel isn’t slogan based, it takes a developed approach to communicate who the person of Christ is. Hollering on a corner? Really? What was the fruit of it? A zealous man, dead or dying, a family without a provider, no conversions , nothing, just pain. Folks, the Gospel is at practically everyone’s finger tips. There is a church on every corner. (Joh 6:37, AV)
“37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
I think I’ll share the gospel the way the early church in Rome did, personally and one at a time.
That’s just me, just my opinion. The world hates you and their acts of hate is only restrained by law under the constitution . How long until we lose the restraint of the law?
I've had a few close calls. A friend of mine got a black eye by a Black Hebrew Israelite once, had his glasses broken right off his face. And another one stole my bible. And the worst ones are at pride marches.
They all have heard, in 2023, they have no excuse, none of them. You risk all you have when you do that. I thought about doing that. Then I thought of Lot. He didn’t do that, in fact he tried to appease them with his own virgin daughters. The early Christians didn’t do that, they’d have been arrested and or killed. I just don’t see the fruit of it unless you’re looking at a sacrifice, of yourself. Saying that, I’d have gone with you if you asked, as security.
I've not done it in a few years. God opened the door of opportunity for me to do that for a time. It was humbling and it drew me to Him, forced me to rely on his grace and mercy like I never had before. That door was closed after doing it for a few years. A string of life events happened that prevented it. But I would not snub my nose at the opportunity if he put it before me again.

The fruit of it is that God is infinitely glorified in having His Son's name proclaimed to the world. It is up to him to save or to damn.
Are you going to keep doing that?
