Last night, I was in the mood for something sweet. I decided to go to the store to get some brownies. On my way I saw a man who looked like a bum. He wasn't even wearing a shirt. He had a tattoo of a naked woman on his chest and he was wearing a gold cross. He approached me and asked if I could spare some change. I told him I didn't carry change. But I told him that I would give him five dollars if he would promise me that he wouldn't buy drugs or beer with it. He promised so I gave him the money and off I went. I told him I gave him the money cause God told me it is good to give to those in need. He said, "Thank you".

I got to the store, found my brownies, went to the checkout line. While standing in the checkout line, I could hear the man yelling with a group of guys outside. I could hear that these men were swearing at him. His name was Leroy. I heard Leroy shout, "Don't spit on me!" I placed my brownies on the counter and began to walk outside to see what was going on. As I was about twenty feet from the door, I heard Leroy scream at the top of his lungs. Then again. I ran toward the door, but suddenly Leroy was running inside the store. We met just inside the entrance. He had blood all over his face and hands. He had been stabbed at least twice. In the stomach and in the chest. I yelled at the store clerk to call the police. Leroy was spilling out blood all over the place. I knew the cops wouldn't make it in time.

So, I summoned up my courage, and I said to him, "Leroy... If you want to go to heaven, you've got to come check out my church. It is awesome! The pastor is hilarious, the band is great. They give away free coffee, and the worship service isn't too long. Plus, after church, we all go out for brunch."

I see monsters

I changed my header!!! I grew weary of seeing my face up there day after day.. so let me just explain my monsters header and stuff.
First of all the "I see monsters" phrase came from Todd Friel from way of the Master radio one day when he said that when he is walking down the street, wanting to share the faith of Christ with a stranger, when he sees a person he sees them as a monster. They are so scary. The more he thinks about it them scarier they get. They look like they will pull a gun and shoot him, or they will just punch him for interrupting their walk down the street. This is just ridicules but I realized that I felt the same way when I went through the same things. So this rolled around my pee brain for some time until I thought that it would be a great t-shirt that would remind me to share my faith with others. So I started making a t-shirt out of it. Then I realized I didn't have a monster to put on the shirt, so I sat on it for a while until one day while sitting in the "thinking chair" I looked into the carpet and saw a face in the strands of carpet and immediately started to sketch it out. Then I came up with this.

What a wonderful monster this is! So after a lot of work and a lot of thought I did make a t-shirt of this which I put on cafepress in a store that I started. www.cafepress.com/gnuattitude.
On the front you will see this monster and a slogan that says "I see monsters" with the gnuattitude.net tag below it. On the back I have written this: 2 timothy 4:2 preach the word: be prepared in season and out of season. don't let the monsters scare you... get equipped www.wayofthemasterradio.com. One thing I will mention is this. If you do purchase a shirt from the site there is a minor profit to be made on the shirts. So I have decided to take any and all profits made from this to buy more gospel tracts so that I can share my faith with more and more people through this.

So my next thought was to make a desktop background for my computer to remind myself to share my faith every time I pull up my computer. So I came up with this:

This is designed for a desktop resolution of 1024 x 768 and will look real nice on your screen.

I had fun creating these and I hope that someone out there can use them to help them share their faith. If you have any more questions or comments on these please just add a comment to this post. Again go share your faith with strangers as well as your neighbors and don't see them as monsters. See them as a person who is destined to hell and that you have the cure for their illness of mortality.

the deity of Christ

I was just listening to Way of the Master Radio and heard an awesome way to prove the Deity of Christ! Mark Spence from the school of biblical evangelism. I am posting this to help me as well as anyone who finds it.
