Featured The curse of unbelief on the ungodly in America

I have listened to your sermons on YouTube quite a few times. I doubt many here can honestly say that, but I can. You basically yell at people.

I am going to be honest, I would pass you by. Your message is incoherent.

And all you have to do is go to the book of Nehemiah to read of Ezra. He did not stand in the street and yell at people. It was very organized, the people stood before many devout men who read out of the law.

Neh 8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.

This was not Ezra yelling at people as they passed by, this was more like an outdoor church service. The people all willingly gathered together and listened to Ezra and the other men who taught.

You don't need a time machine, you just need to read the scriptures.

Hey, you are the one who keeps coming on BB talking about your personal life. You said you "grieved at the lack of response" that you got from people.

Well, I tried to offer you some helpful advice. Engage folks, let them ask questions, you ask them questions. Nobody likes to be barked at.

Wouldn't you love to draw big crowds that pay attention like the videos I showed you? I think if you were honest you would admit you would love to have attentive crowds like this. Well, then you have to use a similar manner of preaching, you have to engage the people.

But whenever anybody tries to tell YOU something, you rebel. And you are the one who is grieved that people don't listen to you. How ironic.

 

Why.... whats he saying thats so darn riveting? There was a point I would have just dismissed him as a religious nut & walked away.

 

You bring conviction!?! Really....its you doing that? REALLY!!! I would have guessed it was God. Your merely an instrument he uses to turn on the light. And its probably for your own spiritual enrichment & edification....but I am not God so....

 

Dude.... of course he is aiming at the intellect....he doing this evangelizing at colleges. These kids are prideful & if you come in with a schoolmaster heavy handed tactic then nobody will listen to him. Here at least he presents the gospel at the level that he gets an audience....right! Rule #1, know your audience.

Now if your at a church, by all means use fire & brimstone, use candid tactics, use more proof text.....whatever gets it done.

Still sometimes you use friendship building & God consciousness suggestions to put God 1st in someones thinking process.....so dont scoff at Winmans suggestion.
Your only the instrument....its God that does the saving.

 

Comparing one to another is foolish and not wise.

One having a larger crowd does not mean that one is to be modeled nor does it determine rightly the one is successful and the other is not. We are called to be faithful not successful. For one to come on here and denigrate another for not being like one in a video is the work of a buffoon and is only meant to mock and condemn.

Just preach and pray in your preaching for leadership and be faithful.

 

I watched the video and some of the kids are hearing what he is saying with the outward ear but he don't have their attention. Look how restless everyone is, most of them have that far away look. Look real close, one guy is texting and trying to cover it up. I think these kids are just there on assignment because they have to be. Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people there transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

 

Sure, not all of them are paying attention, that is normal. But I believe most are. Occasionally he will make a joke and nearly all of them laugh, so they are listening.

Whether they are on assignment I do not know, a few are eating, so maybe it is lunch break. You see some kids arrive and sit down, others leave, so I don't believe they are on assignment, but who knows?

 

If you want to see if he preaches on sin, watch the first few minutes of this one.

I think his argument is very powerful here.
