Free Book: The Jesus You Can't Ignore by John MacArthur

"If you’ve ever wondered how to deal with false teachers and their bad theology, where better to look than Jesus and His example.

So how did Jesus deal with religious leaders who taught error and rejected the gospel?  Did He seek common doctrinal ground and engage in dialog?  Did He soften and adapt the gospel so it wouldn’t confront or make them uncomfortable?

John MacArthur’s new book, The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, explores the Lord’s many personal, often-explosive encounters with the influential teachers of His day.  You’ll see how both Jesus’ message and His manner have direct application for believers who love truth in this age of accommodation and compromise."

New Opposition To The Gospel

I have been doing open air preaching for awhile now and have run into all sorts of opposition to the gospel. Hecklers, Drunk women exposing themselves or touching us, possible demon possessed people, angry business owners, security, and the police are just a few of the things that attempt to prevent the proclamation of the gospel. But now I have a new foe, the iPhone!!!!

This Saturday night while I was preaching an angry officer walked up to me with iphone in hand telling me to turn my P.A. down. When I objected he showed me the screen of his phone which which revealed his new Decibel Meter software. Now I respect all law enforcement but I have been preaching on that corner every weekend for over a year and have never been told to turn down my P.A.. I objected again saying, "thats just an iPhone that cannot be accurate!" He then claimed to have tested it with the stations real DB meter and it came two DB under and I was 20db over the limit. I requested that he bring out the official one and he said that if he did he would cite me.

It is interesting what electronics have done to our world. Whats seems to help us in a lot of ways limits us. Our nation is becoming more ignorant, kids are glued to T.V. sets and game consoles, a lot of jobs have been handed over to computers, the Internet is filled with porn and has nearly ruined music and movie industry with all the piracy and now the iPhone is shutting down the proclamation of the gospel! when will it end!

Half Mile Hailer

Update: I have been using this P.A. for 13 days now and have preached about 6 different times at 3 different locations. I still love this thing! But my one complaint is that now the police keep sending out the Decibel meter to measure our sound levels and then telling us to turn it down because we are in violation of the sound ordinances usually at 90 db or so. In the time that I have been preaching with amplification I have never had this happen. I guess it's a testimony to the power of the Half Mile Hailer!

Tadashii - Identity Crisis

Identity Crisis by Tedashii

Identity Crisis is the new album that has just been released from Tedashii of the116 Clique. This album by far exceeds all of my expectations. In this album Tedashii does a wonderful job of displaying his versatility. He boldly proclaims the gospel while rhymin’ on top of dirty south, hip hop, old school, and R & B beats.
On this project Tedashii gets help from featured artists such as Lecrae, Flame, Diamone, Trip Lee, Stephen the Levite, as well as others. If I had to give this album a rating from 1 to 5, I would rate it a strong 4.5 out of 5. Tedashii, well done sir! Please continue to serve and honor our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ with your music.

Review by David "Braz" Buck

A testimony

I was reading someones testimony that a friend pointed me to and I really thought the following quote was encouraging.

"In October of 1983 I found myself sitting in my car on the side of the road, the needle on empty, waiting for someone to bring me gasoline. During the time that I waited I had read everything in my car including my registration twice. There was one booklet that I had kept avoiding but due to boredom I finally picked it up and began to read the Gospel of John. It was in the reading of this tract that I discovered that being Roman Catholic and following the teachings of the church as well as the keeping of the Holy Days and the sacraments were not going to get me to heaven. I needed to be born again!!!!! It was then that I bowed my head and gave my life to Him, lock stock and barrel"

It is easy for us to get burnt out or discouraged when we are handing out literature to seemingly uninterested people. But it is these people that could wind up in the situation above. Dont give up!

The Shack Protest

Cover of The Shack

This Saturday past a local church invited William P. Young to speak about his book The Shack. For those that don’t know The Shack has created allot of stir amongst the church. There are camps that love the book and those that vehemently appose the book. I fell somewhere in the middle of those extremes before Saturday.

Jason K. thought it would be a good idea to go down to this church and warn those who fall in the first camp of the heresies that are written in this book. Jason sent an email to the pastor warning him of the dangers of having this book promoted in his church and that we would be there to protest. The pastor responded saying that he would continue forward with his plans.

So early Saturday morning we headed down to this church to pass out “lies in the Shack” tracts and Open air preach. As we were doing so a few men from the church came out to bring us bottled water. One of these men turns out to be William P. Young himself! So we start asking about the lies in the book. We used Michael Youssefs basic outline of the 13 lies in the book as our questions (this is what we printed on the tract) but Mr. Young denied each point asking us to prove it from his book. Now I admit this is a fair thing to require but unfortunately we didn't have the book nor the quotes from the book to support our arguments. It was definitely a mistake on our part. We were not prepared to debate the author himself.

What bugs me is that he probably used us in his Saturday morning presentation as an example of the people who object to his book. That they [We] haven't read the book or don't have proof of these so called heresies.

When I got home I reviewed the tape and did my research. What I discovered is that William P. Young is a LIAR! Everything that he denied as being in the book is indeed IN THE BOOK! You can get the page numbers and quotes from the book here

I will post the video as soon as I can get my video editor to work!
