Dean,Sai, Steve, Mark, Nathan and I were planted at one of our favorite corners where theres lots of foot traffic while people wait to cross the street. We set up in a little "nook" which helps amplify the sound as we preach the Gospel.
Steve tries to answer some of their objections. Mike (guy in the leather jacket) and a few of his buddies stayed long enough to hear the Gospel.
"And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, - Rev 5:9
Paul Washer said "Remember if you preach long enough and hard enough somewhere... SOMEONES getting saved!"
Spurgeon writes:
“beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” It might be in vain here, but forasmuch as there is a resurrection, your labor is not in vain in the Lord! If we win souls for Christ, it often happens that some of those whom we thought were saved, go back into perdition—many of those who are really saved walk disorderly—others are ungrateful to their spiritual parents and turn aside to crooked ways. But if our record is on high and we do not look to our success for our reward, but to our Master—then we may be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in work! You who are doing some- thing for Jesus Christ in the school, or in any other department of labor, if you look upon your rewards as the result, you may, perhaps, have very few conversions and you may go toiling on very heavily. But if you will look beyond all present results to the great Taskmaster’s blessed smile and think you hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant”— when you see Him reward you not according to your success, but according to the measure of Grace which you use faithfully in His service—when you see that, you will pluck up courage, you will not be of heavy heart, you will be instant in season, out of season!"
