Done with first episode of Straight Up! Talk

so thanks to all those that listened to our radio show live or on podcast. we had a blast!! so to start off we couldn't get our headsets to work right so at the very last min. we had to improvise and go with what worked. so the blog talk intro started then our intro started and then right when it was introducing Gabriel all you heard was 'thank you for using call wave goodbye' Gabriel got hung up on literally seconds before he was supposed to start the show!! I was freakin out. So I jumped in and started the show. over all the show was good we ended up having a lot to talk about. well the show was pretty uneventful because no one called in so we ended and were super excited that our show when off pretty well. I thought everything was taken care of but one of the people that we mentioned (by subject not by name mind you) called me furious that we talked about him well, last time I checked this is a FREE COUNTRY!! and I didn't defame (i think thats the word he used) his name I simply read an email he wrote to me and I stated I dissagreed with his points which I am entitled to do. well this guy hinted that if we used his name (which we didn't) or his ministries name (which he doesn't have registered) that he would pursue legal action. well according to the very brief research I just did there is a different ministry that owns that name so if anyone is breaking the law its this guy. well next week is a show on wimpy Christianity and all the false doctrines out there. I WE TALK ABOUT YOU INDIRECTLY AND YOU GET OFFENDED MAYBE IS CONVICTION THAT YOUR TEACHING FALSE DOCTRINE! well, I guess you'll just have to tune in next week and see what unfolds.

listen to the podcast if you have no idea what i am talking about and tune in next Sunday at 2 PST www.blogtalkradio.com/straightuptalk

evangalizing outreach

so today the evangelism team met to day and went to the sparks theater. one of the shyer youth and I were paired together (she did really well I might add) well anyway, we first talked to a guy named david who at first thought he was saved but we later found out he was baptized once so he thought that counted (which it doesn't) so we went through the ten commandments and when we left he said he would talk to his parents about going to church. next we talked to two girls named ally and jamie. they were both professing Christians but they go to a seeker friendly church (dosnt preach the gospel) so I figured it would be a very good conversation. well i found out these girls believed alot of what i do so i dont understand why they go to such a wimpy church but they were young so maybe their parents like it o well. we also talked to two girls named taylor and alena (a leen a) now these girls were the one that really got me this evening. they were very young and already they have decided there is no God. it took awhile but i finally got taylor to admit that there might be a God she just needs evidence (which means i turned her from an atheist to an agnostic its a step in the right direction) please pray for everyone we talked to but really pray for taylor and alena because they are very lost and they need Jesus. I asked them to listen to our show but you never know.

well its late and I am waking up early for church and to prep for the show so good night and God bless,
Anthony

I'm watching Leno and Michael Moore is on talking about his new movie sicko.... its about the health care system and I cant believe I am saying this but he's right (AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THE END IS NEAR) our health system sucks. I work in the health insurance industry (kinda) and you have no idea how unbelievably difficult it is to get these private health insurances to pay up. they always have some type of excuse .

well i promised complete randomness and I delivered lol

good night and be careful the end is near a hardcore conservative agreed with a hardcore liberal!!

Great night

tonight was the mens meeting for my church and it was awesome!!! We had a huge steak dinner and then spent a few hours just fellowshipping. it was great. those men inspire me so much. Some of these guys have been in the church for 10+ years and married some married for over 50. I hope and pray that I can be have the man in Christ that these men are. I respect them all. well thats pretty much it on that subject. goodnight

evangalizing take 2

so today my friend (his blog HERE) and I went out after work so i could redeem myself and well I would call it a mixed blessing. well we left right after work so we were in dress clothes (not always the best for street evangalizm). Our first thought was to go to the mall, so when we went over there it was pretty intimidating. in this town everyone is on a mission to get their stuff done so as you can imagine no one would even look at us. so we decided to give up on that and go to the river. when we got there there were not a whole lot of people but we decided to give it a shot. we walked around a bit and scoped out the area. now back to my clothes point, when we would approach a person they would look at us funny and walk away. these kids were what the town calls 'river rats' so they were not the most well dressed. I am guessing they we resenting the two guys trying to walk up to them in their nice dress clothes. so we moved on from there and kept walking around the river. we finally got over our fear and found these two young woman and asked them if we could talk to them. Unfortunately, they laughed at us and said no. so we kindly said thanks anyways and kept going. if you have never evangalized before you have no idea how hard it is to ask the first person to talk. so once we got that over with even though they said no we felt better and kept going. I wish I could end this nicely but once we finally got our courage up all the people that we could talk to had gone. some may consider this a failure but the way I look at it at least we gave 2 people the opportunity to hear the gospel.

well I have rambled enough so take care and God Bless

Hot august wimp

So last wednesday me and a friend went to look at cars and we showed up early inorder to evangalize. well acually he wanted to evangalize. I was just not feeling it. I let the day get to me I guess I turned evangilizm into a chore and another job instead of somthing I should delight in doing. My friend tried to excite me and every thing but I just wasn't having it. In his blog, my friend mentioned a reference in Matthew when Jesus told Peter 'get thee behind me Satan' He wasn't calling Peter Satan but what He meant was that Peter was letting the fear (a non Godly trait) of losing Jesus get to him therefore he was allowing himself to be used by Satan. the moral of this story is to not let yourself get in the way of your ministry be it evangelizing or anything else.

I have learned my lesson and i hope my experience helps someone else
