Since the Lord has continued to provide good weather during this winter, my brother in Christ and I have continued to hit the streets. If the hotdog venders can stand a little cold, we will certainly do it to share God's law and gospel!
New Year's Eve was a highlight. We waited until about 10:30pm to hit the streets because that's what everyone does that night. It's all about midnight, right? We found a line of maybe 50 people waiting to enter a club and went down the line handing them Ten Commandment coins with the gospel on the back. Then we took the opportunity to open air preach to the crowd. The Lord let us do this twice as the line very slowly entered the club and new partiers took their places in line.
One guy kept shouting "Jesus was a Jew", but everyone else politely listened as we walked them through a few of the Ten Commandments and shared that, if they have broken even one of the Commandments, God will find them guilty and the punishment will be eternity in hell. After the bad news, of course we shared the Good News of how we can be forgiven if we repent from sin and trust that Jesus Christ took our punishment to save us from God's wrath. What was the response? Did they curse at us and throw stuff? Nope. Several people in the line genuinely thanked us and wished us a Happy New Year.
It was the perfect way to end 2011 and begin 2012!
