Having a bad day? This might put things in perspective...

Question: Did this person die?

Answer: No.

An Evangelist's Dream Come True...

A day at the beach in China...

I guess Ray Comfort's Million Dollar Bill Tract has been virtually everywhere...

Season 8 Auditions of American Idol

Thousands of performers descended on the Kemper Arena

in Kansas City, MO for Season 8 of American Idol...

And someone handed this young man a Gospel Tract!

"It's a movie about smoking pot." He added.

Chase was on Hour 1 of The Way of the Master Radio last Wednesday and when I spotted him he was on his way to the movie theatre. He said he was a Christian. I noticed that he was wearing a cross around his neck and so the first question I asked him was, "Why do you where that cross?" He answered, "My sister gave it to me and I wear it for good luck." What?! I thought to myself... a Christian doesn't wear a cross for good luck! That was my first clue that Chase was not a Christian.

"So what movie are going to see?" I inquired.
"Pineapple Express." He answered.
I had no idea what the film was about so he filled me in,
"It's a movie about smoking pot." He added.
"Interesting." I said out loud.
That was my second clue that he wasn't a Christian.
Naturally, I asked him if he wanted to be on the radio.
"Sure!" He responded immediately.

My husband, Emilio, did the follow-up with him and talked with him for almost an hour. Chase ended up missing his movie but he didn't mind one bit. Here's what Emilio had to say:

"He was an interesting young man with an array of philosophical beliefs. Like so many that we talk to, Chase was raised in a Christian home with Christian parents, he was even raised in the church...but he was a false convert. We got to the root of the issue with Chase, religious pluralism. Chase was a relativist through and through. Not wanting to condemn anyone, Chase could not embrace biblical Christianity as the only way. We tried showing him that his view of truth was inconsistent and that he needed to be honest...he was not a relativist, he simply used the world view when it was convenient for him. He didn't budge. But the good news is that he heard the uncompromised truth today. We hope and pray that Chase comes to the truth of the gospel which is only found in Jesus Christ, 'the way, the truth, and the life' (John 14.6)."

We gave him tracts and our contact information.

I decided to look up the movie "Pineapple Express" online when I got home. I went to The Dove Foundation which provides helpful reviews on movies...and as I suspected the film contains blaspheme and numerous accounts of foul language. Look for yourself at the
Language content: F-133; S-47; B-4; GD-2; JC-2; J-1; A-17; H-6...

Someone who has been born again will not delight in a movie where the entire film is centered on two characters that smoke pot night and day and then find themselves getting into endless trouble. For the Christian, we have been delivered from darkness but now we are light in the Lord and we are to walk as children of the light (Eph. 5:8). Seeing a film of this nature is definitely not fitting for a Christian.

I have made a personal commitment to not see any films that have blasphemy in them. You can too by visiting HollywoodandGod.com to find a list of recent contemporary movies that contain blasphemy, and a link to the producers. Then send Hollywood a message. Email them and say, “Your movie contains blasphemy. Don’t look for my money at the box office.” This was Ray Comfort's idea and Brad Snow designed the website. It's updated regularly and no doubt Pineapple Express will be added to the list soon.

The youth I've been taking with me for phone fishing...

I think I mentioned earlier that I've been taking some

of the youth from our church with me for phone fishing...

It's been an adventure teaching them the ins and

outs of sharing the Gospel (below are a few photos).
Not all of them are photographed but here's a couple

of the sweet young girls that join me.

This is Natalie...the sun was really bright for her...

you'll see her grabbing for her sunglasses in the last photo. :-)

Meet Brianna. She was with me last week for the
Homosexual Muslim encounter and was a real trooper.
I thought she'd be turned off from coming with me again....
but immediately when we got in the car to head back home
she said, "Trish, can I come with you next week?".

Even the cab driver was listening to the program...

Brittany was on Hour 2 of The Way of the Master Radio yesterday.

She really enjoyed talking to Ray Comfort.

Her taxi came right after she had agreed to be on the program...

I was concerned that she'd have to leave so while she was on the air

with Ray Comfort I went over to the cab driver and

motioned for him to roll down the window. I explained what

Brittany was doing and he immediately programmed his car radio to the

local land station to hear Brittany on the air! It was really wonderful...

he listened to the entire program and waited patiently for her.

She was really thankful after she spoke with Ray and Todd Friel.

All she could say to me was, "I'll really think about it...Thank you....Thank you!"

Brittany found a lot of delight in each gospel tract.

I felt as if she was like a little sister to me. We connected right away.

Afterwards, I pleaded with her to repent of her sins and place all her

trust in Christ to save her. I handed her all my contact information and

gave her some cash so that she could pay her way home.

Then I walked her out to her cab and as she was getting in the

back seat, I couldn't help but hear that the driver had the program
blaring inside the cab-- even after she was off the air.

I handed the cab driver a million dollar bill. He cracked up!

Brittany got into the back seat and I shut the cab door for her and

waved goodbye. So did she. It was evident she was very grateful.

God Doesn't Believe in Atheists, written by Ray Comfort, teaches you that it is possible to prove that the Bible is supernatural in origin. Ray Comfort points out Scriptures that are filled with medical and scientific facts written thousands of years before man discovered them, showing that the Bible has the fingerprint of God all over it. This publication shows the atheist that he doesn't exist, reveals the true motives of the agnostic, and strengthens the faith of the believer.

Here is what to do: Leave a comment below with your name and some way for me to contact you if you win (email or blog link is fine). Comments will be opened through next Monday and a winner will be randomly chosen next Tuesday. Open to U.S. residents only.

"Comfort speaks lovingly, yet with fire. His logic is superb and he appeals to common sense, reason and the human conscience. This is the book that had American Atheists national spokesman Ron Barrier running scared. I highly recommend it as an apologetic to give to unsaved persons, or for Christians who want to know how to witness to atheists more effectively." Anonymous
