Saints, we have started our ‘holiday’ season preaching last Black Friday in Louisville at the Light Up Louisville Xmas tree lighting ceremony revelry. We have been preaching there many years and were blessed again to lift up our voices for Jesus, and to be reviled for the truths that we preach from the Bible which is in such marked contrast to American culture and ‘churches’.
Today, Dec 1st, Bros Marvin Heiman and Joshua will head out to Columbia, Ky to preach at their small Christmass parade event. We have always been given great favor using banners and small amplifiers to preach to our local community.
Tomorrow Bro Joshua and I will head out to Glasgow, Ky to preach at their local Xmass parade event. Last year the city was set on it’s head with the truths of the Bible they obviously have not been hearing in their ‘churches’. I will share here some of the media and events that happened after that fateful night of exciting preaching on the public square in that city.
Daniel Rusk Beaten in Glasgow
Br. Daniel had only preached for some 15 minutes before he was beaten and I was restrained from trying to intervene on his behalf. He was subsequently arrested and charged for disorderly conduct by the police and attacker who claimed Daniel had spit upon him. We filed charges against the man the next day after Daniel was released from prison. We followed up months after Daniel’s court date and dismissal of all charges concerning the attacker. The city attorney claims the man has not shown up for court, is on the run, and they can’t locate him.
In Kentucky, we have all manners of Xmass parades in multitudes of small towns that we can’t even keep up with all of them. I exhort everyone to get out there to make the message of Christ, known among the heathen in your Jerusalem, your Samaria, and the outer parts of the world.
God bless you.
We had short notice planning on the Trump rally visit to Nashville’s Auditorium in the downtown area. Bros Tim Brown, Marvin Heiman, Kenneth Winslow and myself were able to get into the labor field of thousands of conservatives who were standing in long cold lines for hours and hours at a time in order to get into the general free admission offered by Trump. The line was 5-7 wide and went on for I guess about 8-10 city blocks and up and around a hilly area on the other side of the capitol.
Bro Marvin and I got there first, a little after noon, as I was concerned about the road closures and knew there would be people there in line waiting for President Donald J. Trump. We were met with the usual angst from people who may have voted conservatively but don’t live in a manner that conserves their lives. They love the liberality of living in their favorite sins.
Road closures started at noon with max security at 3:30 pm with the expected arrival window of President Trump sometime between then and 6:30 pm, his scheduled time to speak. Originally, we thought we would want to preach to the head of the line but with the road closure we wouldn’t be able to get back up to the front if we opted to leap frog preaching to the end of the line.
Tim and Kenneth showed up about an hour after we started and began our two man, two team leap frogging of the line. They quickly disappeared behind the bend of the roadway and a building as we labored to bring God’s Word to the attention of the carnal minds in line. We found that we were going back and forth in the line as we dealt with various hecklers who would chase us down the line and then back up again. Fortunately, we had a fence barrier between the Trumpers and ourselves. Some of them really did not like the Bible scourging they were receiving. We did find a few here and there that would give us a thumbs up, say we’re praying for you, keep going, etc very encouraging as we work to bring glory to Jesus. Water in a thirsty land to the preacher of God, so to speak…Here is an email that I received the next morning, I was very blessed.
I enjoyed hearing you speak on the word of God at the Trump event in Nashville yesterday while I was in line. You have have reached a part of my soul that knows you are 100% right on what you say . God is going to Bless you for speaking the truth . Thank you -Dorothy F.
We had noticed some of the Trump fans were looking across the street to point out the President as he stood across the street. We knew it wasn’t really him, but an impersonator who would make his way down the line to where we were. I was blessed to actually get an interaction going with him for 5-10 minutes which the crowd appreciated and I think the impersonator as well. We talked about rich men, camels, eyes of needles, kingdom of God, and that nothing was impossible with God. I met a young reporter who filmed the whole thing. Here is a small clip of that interaction published nationally. After this link is the full video Br. Marvin shot, he did great!
We met Capt. Corman who was cordial to us as always and in a sense I think he enjoys listening to our work, except our admonitions to the Pope and the RCC. He asked if we were needful of anything, assured our constitutional protections under the law,etc. and we said our goodbyes. About an hour later a LT. from the police force informed us we would be in an exclusion zone where were standing. We made a decision to catch up to Tim and Ken to discuss the matter. As we traveled down the line we began to realize that this line was for block after block with no end in sight! Praise Jesus! We spoke to them to decide if we would preach the head or work the line. We decided to work to the end of the line as daylight was burning and we didn’t think the multitudes would even make it to the auditorium to see the President.
Bros Tim and Kenneth took the lead and again they were soon out of sight around the bend. We came out into an open area between the hill the state capitol sits upon with a huge grassy area and the Centennial Park beyond the line and the street. We had been working the line and the listeners were complaining that the small 16 watt Radio Shack bullhorn was too loud, imagine that, eh? I was having some pretty heated discussion between a woman and her husband in line who were judging our preaching and telling us not to judge. Well, just about that time the wind picked up and snapped our fiberglass banner pole with our gopro on it. The crowd erupted in cheers and approval at this act of ‘God’. I agreed with them that it was an act of God, maybe He didn’t want us to warn them anymore. They became quiet, meanwhile Marvin worked to do a street repair on our pole. He used some electrical tape and within five minutes we had the banner resurrected! No cheers but from two saints of God who gleefully lifted up His Word unto the sinners. Keep in mind our camera is mounted to this as well along with a battery pack. About that time the Lord pointed out this beautiful mount upon the grassy hillside that we advanced in order to speak to thousands instead of tens at a time. It was marvelous! As the line slowly passed us they were getting a full 20 minute sermon which followed Tim and Kenneth’s previous preaching they had already given to these same people as they marched down the line. We were there for a good three hours preaching from this hillside. Keep in mind these folks had been standing in weather that felt like 24 degrees with the windchill for hour after hour after hour in the slowly progressing line. The sun was setting and the shadows were consuming the line with cold. Our position was well lit and warmed by God’s sun and kept us nicely until about 6:30 pm when we packed it up to head to the front of the line. Here is a video of Marvin preaching His Sermon on the Mount:
We had planned to go and see the President and be a part of the rally. We knew we would have to take our gear back to our car and return to the end of the line. However, by this time we realized we would never make it in. As we walked back up to the auditorium we spotted the small crowd of maybe 4-500 people protesting Trump’s rally. Tim was pumped up and jumped right into the crowd. I believed that we needed to get to the edge of the crowd. We then could duck and move to new locations so they wouldn’t surround us and lovingly beat us up as I have seen these types do on many occasions. The crowd consisted of tolerant BLM, FemiNazi, LGBTQ, Muslims, illegal immigrants, Demoncrats, etc.. They were immediately inflamed to surround and physically bully Tim. We pulled back and chose a new spot, they did the same maneuver. We played this game for about a half an hour and decided it was enough of a warning and didn’t want to cast any pearls before these swine. We left and is another usual tactic they stalked us claiming they weren’t stalking us telling us to get out of ‘their’ town. We warned them several times, and went to seek assistance from an officer when most of them realized the seriousness and backed off and continued on their merry rebellious way to hell.
In summary, this was a great preach! I hope that the President continues to hold these things throughout his term. They let the public know that He is real and wants to see good change for our country. The Fake News outlets did their standard bites of anti Trump stew with pro libtarded ideologies promoted and approved of. Lastly, I would exhort the saints to make it to these events even if you have to take the day off of work! It was a fantastic opportunity to reach conservative people that 8 of 10 believe they are ‘Christian’ but can’t explain the Gospel, go figure. God bless you all as you seek to do the will of our King!
It took several months of planning to execute the coordination of about 12-13 preachers for three days leading up to the New Year’s Party Dec 31, 2016. Br. Marvin was very generous in offering his home to six soldiers to host about 40 minutes from downtown. For another four soldiers we got a great deal on hotel room for $150 for two nights. This was an incredible price considering the density of tourists in the area for this week and others times like it. We also planned to receive families into our home in KY so that the wives and children would have a season of fellowship, meals, and prayer while we worked the streets 130 miles away in TN. We were almost maxed out, praise Jesus!
Tuesday morning, the Lord led me and Marvin to work on a new legal outline letter to the City of Nashville. I had not crafted one since 2010 and it was high time we addressed the new mayor, new legal director, new stadium director, new Nashville Visitors director, and because the New Year’s Eve event was now going to be held in a state park the TN State Park director. We would find later on Saturday how important getting that letter out when we did would be, more on that later.
Marvin, Tim, and I went out on Tuesday night to Broadway and a Preds game to preach I initially started at the Ryman Auditorium as it is s a good quiet place off the noise of Broadway, the acoustics are fantastic, people are coming and going, and there is a bus stop there. I spoke on the wickedness of American gender confusion, exhorting lesbians to repent and let their hair grow out and sissy boys to get a hair cut that gender would not be confused in our culture and countrymen anymore. I’ll add that clip as I get it produced. It went pretty well and it was a good initial impact to the tourists many who have never seen us preach, though we have been downtown Nashville regularly for seven years..
After that we moved down onto the main street, Broadway Ave., very appropriate considering all the partying they do on that real estate. It was barricaded for the festivities. Marvin started out and we were getting good reactions/interactions with many sinners there. Suddenly, out of nowhere a very cocky motorcycle officer approached and directed us to shut the bull horn down and move off the barricaded street. Marvin did a great job interacting with the unreasonable cop, initially refusing to give his ID until the officer explained what laws we were breaking in accordance with the protection of ‘unreasonable search and seizure’ laws. He finally surrendered his ID and explained to him, he was doing so under duress. We formally requested his supervisor to wit, he curtly replied, “Way ahead of you pal, this isn’t my first rodeo.” I thought, this wasn’t ours as well and smiled slightly at the officer. Soon, we had six officers and the supervisor there and it was looking like they were about to put him in the cruiser. I asked for his keys so I could have transportation to secure bail and hopefully get him out of the jail if he were arrested. I then called the wives to start praying, which they did. We began to pray earnestly removing our covers and seeking the Lord. After about 15 minutes of consultation with the supervisor, he returned gave us our ID’s and stated he was advised by his supervisor not to press any charges or arrest Marvin, Hallelujah!
That was the big burp for the night and everything else went really well, handing out hundreds of tracts and preaching to thousands, with everyone having some one2one’s and small groups during the preaching.
Thursday the 29th we had a full crew of preachers, Marvin Heiman, Tim Brown, Joshua Heiman, Adam & Caleb Bishop, Jeff Mullen, Daniel McGlone and myself. This was the night of the Battle of the Bands, which is a bunch of wicked music coupled with wicked activities, like food eating contests gluttony, etc. I have been grieved for many years by parents who bring their small children and/or youth to wicked events and then sin in front of them being a bad example in their lives. Here in this video you will see me upbraiding a mocking, bird flipping daddy who is drinking in front of his children. The fruit of his loins, watch and laugh with daddy as he is on his way to hell. Then the youth laugh even more when I describe them turning to daddy on Judgment day asking why he led them to the very gates of hell without telling them about Jesus! I’m sure parents are motivated to come to these kinds of events for a variety of reasons but most of them are sinful; drinking, listening to wicked music, celebrating wickedness [Pride or Xmas parades], lusting, sports idols, etc.
Friday the 30th, we had the same crew but we were minus Joshua Heiman yet the Lord added Quentin Deckard. This was Music City Bowl day and there are so many things happening from early in the am it is an incredibly target rich environment for preachers.
view from downtown Nashville across the Cumberland River.
There are pep rallies downtown starting about 10am, tailgate parties at the stadium starting about the same time, people lining up for the game a few hours before the start. This was unique because our preaching had started to receive harassment from the New Stadium Lessees Nissan’s security a few months before. They began telling us things like: we allow you to be here, your causing problems at the security gates, you can’t have abortion signs or we will arrest you. With that in mind we knew that we would need to write a new legal letter to them as our last one had been in 2010 when I was still part of PinPoint Evangelism. I called the stadium VP to get his email and had a return call from the General Manager. The conversation was tense but I made it clear we would continue our work at the gates, all the property around the stadium was public, and their lease for naming rights didn’t take away out civil rights to be there. Come game day between the Nebraska Corn Huskers and the Tenn Volunteers everything returned to the standard we had set with seven years of work in that venue. Saints, you must keep pressing into these areas or the devilish communists will seek to remove our rights to have our messages heard! Exercise your freedoms in America! We had a great outreach at Nissan Stadium handing out thousands of tracts and breaking up into two different groups covering gates 8 & 9. They are the best especially when it’s cold as the north wind is blocked and it’s sunny on that side. Keep in mind brethren these environmental issues will strengthen or sap the energy of your troops. As we traveled to those gates we also stopped at gate 6 for about 15 minutes to preach to the crowd there. We had our first interaction with a TN State Trooper. Within a few minutes he got the word that we were good to go. We preached the rest of the day unhindered by authorities, but the hecklers were certainly far from being done trying to shut up the Gospel preaching, I noted that the out of town Huskers, though most professing Christians were very cold hearted about spiritual matters, cursing and threatening as we tried to engage their hearts and minds with the truths of the Bible. We wrapped it up there and headed back to town to get some much needed rest, food, and bathrooms at an undisclosed location downtown. We got about an hour of fellowship and rest before the sun started to set and we were headed to our next big event which was the Widespread Panic Concert which was being held at the Brimstone Arena for two nights. Very rowdy and violent crowds from these concert goers, one man being violently thrown out by security the second night we would be there.
We figured out for the Brimstone Plaza it is better to preach directly in front of the doors behind barricades about 75 feet from the entrance the acoustics are much better with the crowds in line being able to hear us all the way until they cram through the doors. We will have to keep this in mind for the future.
One of the big changes this year is the move of the New Year’s Eve bash from downtown Broadway to the Centennial Park which was about a mile away. This was not impossible to walk but really too far to drag all the troops and equipment and back to the downtown area. Saturday was forecast rainy and despite our efforts to pray it away the Lord in His sovereignty decided we would have to endure as we knew the sinners surely would for their sin. We wrestled with the ideas of where would the crowds go? Would they wait until the end of the night to head over to the park or stay downtown and try to watch the fireworks from there.
I mentioned previously that we had a new legal outline letter we sent to the city. This was to cover many venues to include the Centennial park which is a TN State park with rangers and a whole other chain of command we only dealt with once before and unsuccessfully at that being threatened with arrest and chased out of the park a few years ago.
With all that in mind, we wrestled in prayer even on the streets where to make our stands for Jesus. Ultimately, we decided though the weather was bad we would need to work the park for a period of time and then move downtown as that is where we scouted all the crowds to be. The rules of for the event/park were no poles, bullhorns, or ‘soliciting’. We knew who they had targeted but we’re confident that legal outline would be effectual for our entry to the park. Sure enough it was, though we didn’t fight the search and seizure issue with them wanding us before we entered we were able to breeze right through pretty tight security. The park is under major renovation with the whole Germantown neighborhood under revitalization which was previously overrun with thug, criminal drug / gang activity just a few years before. I believe a big developer has come in and now is trying to spread the parties/business to this area of the city. I see a big Oktoberfest party in Nashville’s future. We got in and set up near some vendors with our banners and bullhorns, preached, waiting to be approached. After about 15 minutes we got the head of the event Mr. Keeter to whom Marvin spoke. It went great, and we had the green light. This was important to set this precedent with the city. We stayed another half hour in the rain and cold and packed it up to head down to the crowds downtown where it would be much warmer and hopefully drier. When we left we estimated a hundred or so people in the park. The weather had busted the city’s plans big time.
There were thousands downtown and hundreds in the park. No brainer, we would end up working the rest of the night by the Brimstone Arena again as we didn’t realize the first night there would be a second concert NYE by Widespread Panic. The concert goers proved themselves to be very gross and violent, so much so I closed our activities about an hour and a half early calling it a night. We were all weary of the cold, rain, and we were being regularly attacked. We departed on the assurance of the Holy Ghost’s leading and we were all in agreement. We headed to the new CookOut in town and had a good meal before making the drive back to KY for fellowship the next day. Here are our testimony’s in video format. Now, get out there and seek and save that which is lost, not much time now…
We headed up to Louisville, KY to preach the Light Up Louisville event the day after a blessed Thanksgiving. Bros Marvin & Joshua Heiman, my son Daniel, and my daughters Caitlin and Sarah made up our group braving almost freezing temperatures as God wanted us to get to this idolatrous event to bring some heat of the Holy Ghost upon the hearts and minds of men during this season.
I was blessed to speak at length to seven young adult Baptist Christians. Of course the following were hot topics; sinless perfection, OSAS, Lordship Salvation, daily sinful disobedience. One of the young men were very offended, yet most seemed very excited about the preaching. Pray they would continue to seek the truth!
We were falsely accused of many things by most of the students on the Middle Tenn State University during our outreaches there recently. My responses are outlined in the following letter to the editor in the weblink below. These false allegations by the MTSU students reveal the bigotry and bias of the students against God, His Word, the Truth, and the preachers.
Original Accusations and Article From Students
Here is the original story filled with false allegations. The Lord compelled me to address this properly so that others including faculty and students who may not have attended the two days of meetings could get a better understanding of what happened.
First Outreach to MTSU Attack in 2010
Keep in mind that Middle Tenn State Univ, MTSU, is the original campus where a female graduate student pushed me off a 3 foot wall onto a 55 gal barrel trash receptacle which inflicted very painful injuries to my chest and could have killed me.
We first preached this at the Old Nashville Auditorium about four years ago. This time we had my sons Daniel and Seth, Jimmy Miller, the Heiman family, the Kowalski family, Tim the Baptist and his son. Praise the Lord what a crew!
The weather was rainy initially but as the daylight dimmed the rain stopped! The crowds were slow but steady for the first hour. But, as the evening progressed we had thousands stuck in a cattle security gate which was taking lots of time for us to preach Bible truths to them, it was fantastic!
We had intended to preach for a few hours, but ended up staying until about 8:30 pm almost four hours! The crowds of people would not let up. Praise Jesus!
Imagine having people flowing past you hundreds at a time. They mocked, blasphemed, and hated the preaching and you. Then 50 feet from you they fell off an invisible cliff, you hear the screams, you see the flames and smoke shoot up. Then the next group of sinners come by and do the very same thing! Then once in a while someone steps off the broad path to destruction and asks good questions, gets prayers, and few even repent!
This is what we are called to do saints, REACH OUT! The time is short, the night draws near, when our King will come back on very dark clouds, with lightning announcing His arrival to destroy the inhabitants of the earth! Do you believe this???
Memorial to Nick Kowalski, Faithful Soldier of Christ Gone Home
….However, not all students believe his motives are bad. Patrick Kent, a graduate student at Tech studying chemical engineering, said he’s been able to talk to McGlone before, and that McGlone doesn’t really seem to be doing anything wrong.
“I really like that he is actually trying to tell people about the gospel of Christ,” said Kent. “The way he is doing it is actually an effective way of getting the message out. I think sometimes people just hear what they want to hear as they walk away from him. If nothing else, it at least makes people think about Christ.”
Kent also said that McGlone’s presence on campus makes it easier for Christians to generate conversation about Christ.
McGlone also brought a new preacher with him to speak on campus. Ross Jackson, founder of Revival Mission Ministries, was with McGlone for this visit to Tech. Jackson was primarily the preacher who preached in the circle on Centennial Plaza, while McGlone spoke to students on the outside of the circle.
Romans 6:5-7 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him,that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Friends,
What did you spend your last year doing? On Facebook they have a feature that gives you a page of summary of your activities for that past year. When I opened mine, I was pleased to see that most all of my FB was centered on Jesus, His Gospel, getting that published and my family!
This new year as I contemplate how God has so drastically changed my life, heart, mind and soul for Him in the last sixteen I am amazed. I want to run with more fervor and endurance in the next, then next, and next, if the Lord wills until my physical body is completely poured out for Him.
Rom 12:1-3 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
In light of that thought, as my family is spiritually and physically preparing themselves to go out for about four hours of driving and four hours of preaching in 30 degree weather. I am so thankful for the work the Lord has done in our children in preparing them to count the cost of being a disciple of Jesus. They will endure the hardness of this environment as a demonstration of love to all the sin loving God hating multitudes that will swarm in the downtown area of Nashville, to party, lust, drink booze, fight, and generally whoop it up for the devil.
The irony is that of the seven children that went out yesterday in the same kind of weather yesterday, they all wanted to go back out today. They were threatened, cursed at, called names, and generally despised for Jesus while I preached at the Music City Bowl. All they were doing was standing there handing out tracts, ,holding signs, and wearing gospel hoodies from www.preachinggear.com. Not only were they despised by the sinners, but they brought their children out to the ball game and made them endure the weather for their parents lust of football, beer, and fun. The sinners tried to get our children to repent of their repentance! You don’t have to come out here! He can’t make you do this! Is your daddy forcing you to do this? Someone should call the police! I turned to our youth and calmly asked, “Children, did I make you come out here, or did you choose? They resoundingly spoke up, we choose! Why do my children care so much for the lost? Because they were once lost themselves and know the weight of sin and the freedom Christ has brought them by the Holy Spirit! Hallelujah! Pray for us saint as we make our final preparations to head back into the fray for souls, where the naysayers will preach: 1. You’re doing it wrong 2. This isn’t the Gospel 3. You’re sinners too! 4. No one obeys God. While we preach verse upon verse, line upon line that the blind may grope after Christ and be found in Him on that Great and Terrible Day of JUDGMENT.
