Photos from Today in Little Five Points

We had a great day in outreach. The heat was draining, but it was a thrill telling people about Jesus and offering them free materials for His glory. God let people be patient enough for us to open the Bible and read to them what the Bible says about testing the spirits, what it means to be saved, to answer questions with Bible verses. (I love that)! Here are photos of our outreach table today with materials for satanists, New Agers, Buddhists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, evolutionists, homosexuals, people dabbling in "Tools of the Occult", people practicing transcendental meditation, and nominal "Christians" interested in answers (based on the Bible!) to questions they don't find in postmodern, emergent, "contemplative" churches...




This man wasted no time reading what I gave him on the Satanist's definition of God. He was intrigued to know that Satanists also believe in "God." Believing in God makes demons tremble, so simply "believing" may not produce saving faith. We discussed how the creed of Satanism--"Do as thou wilt"--is really no different than how most people live. Rebellion from the Law of the Bible is at the heart of Satanism. Wonder why it is not rebellion from Buddhism or Hinduism, why the Bible, why the Law Giving God? It is because the battle truly IS between Christ and Satan. Satan loses forever, because even death could not hold "the King of the Jews." Everyone will bow the knee, either in this life or in the one to come. There is no God like Jesus! There is only ONE "Resurrection and the Life."
This must have been the day for witnessing to lesbians in Little Five Points. God brought up girls holding hands, and we gave out one testimony by "Kim" of how God has changed her life and how she left lesbianism for new life in Jesus, and we gave out booklets by "Mary" about what the Bible says pertaining homosexuality and relationships (explaining David and Jonathan and Ruth and Naomi were not "gay.") God is pure, and He desires His own to worship Him in Spirit and truth. It was a pleasure reaching these broken people as God brought them over to the table with questions....and we got to explain that God is pure. He is "holy" and what that means in comparison to the character of a sinner.
Anthony reading the Bible to someone

It is a joy to open the Bible to a passage and watch the person read it, especially when they tell us they have been going to church for years and yet don't understand what it means to be saved or live for Jesus.
Working with Tina and Anthony today was a pleasure. I will be out of town for the next few weekends, so Anthony is going to lead the outreach. I will be back to join the team around the end of October due to travel.
