Where is the Cross of Jesus Christ in your preaching?, Where is the Hope?Think not that the Holy Spirit is without Power,Kicking aman while he is down gains you nothing but in your own eyes.Jesus Christ to CALL SINNERS TO REPENTANCE,But some love to condem, ARE YOU one of those that have no balm of Gilead, no medicine for the dieing soul.Praise God for His Mercy to me a rotten no good sinner deserving to bust hell wide open, Look brethen unto the gutter where the LORD found you! Rebember the hell you where saved from.Every one wants the power with no Cross,what will it take?must they crawl on hands and knees to you?Thats right brother David God will put your whole life out there, Its best to confess it in private to the Lord OF Glory and ask Him to give you the heart of Compassion towards the poor lost blinded sinner, taken by the god of this world, Ask God for GODLY WISDOM,Because this poor man cried and the Lord Heard Him,brother Tim.

Amen Brother Ickes I have often ask myself that same question,I aso have notice another trait of these self called preachers,They can dish out a rebuke to any and every one that may cross thier path,But they never can recieve even a mild reproof.When you question them they will call you a Devil or bring your salvation into question.How dare I or any other tell them anything.I think this comes from having no one above them and that is why they are not membembers of a local Church,They can’t sit long enough to even hear the truth much less to study this Holy Book as commanded by the Lord.To tell you the truth I watch very little of these men on you tube after meeting them in person.I speak this to thier shame. The Calling has to beFrom God,if not I would warn them to stop.Why because they refused to Do What Jesus Christ told them to do,there is no getting around it,No back door[the end does not justfiy the means]Just because you can yell and scream your fool head off will not please God,It is the GOODNESS OF GOD that leadeth thee to repentance,I know,I know the wrath Of God is onthe head of men,But Preachers So Does the Holy Spirit,You are not going to bang on their flesh to save them,No Keeping of the Law will save a man,It must be the Grace of God true thr finish Work Of Christ,Noting more nothing less.They know the preaching of the law brings out the worse in men,Take some time and look at the Words Grace,Mercy, Forgiveness in just the new Testament, Look AT Christ looking over Jerusalem,AS a Mother Hen gathers Her Chicks look it up brethen.Also look at the Job of The Holy Spirit on this earth in the hearts of men.I left off the verse so you might look it up.Last question: I always try to ask every street Preacher this ,”Why” Why do you Preach?Is it for Gain?Is it for Christ?Look deep into yoursleves and ask Why?Brother Mcrare or Brother Ickes or myself would wecome the chance to pray for you personaly,Not one of these men say this [nor do I]to hurt you ,our desire is for you to ask Why?If you say For Christ than model yourself after HIM,yOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS ONE THING ,jESUS cHRIST WAS gOD AND COULD LOOK INTO THE HEART OF THOSE hE WAS pREACHING TO AND YOU CAN NOT!gET AHOLD OF THAT AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR ERROR IN THE PAST,dON’T MAKE tHE lORD TAKE YOU TO THE WOODSHED OVER THIS.

Just a thought. More people would probably read the second half and more informative half of this article, if you took your own advice… For the fact that you called your own brethren braying donkeys, which is similar in my book to the word raca in meaning… I almost didn’t read any further past the slander… but the Lord urged me read the rest. However I offer that advice to see that you yourself are doing the very thing you are naming these young people or old, whatever the case be for doing. Also brother…. you are stretching for straws here.

“They may have Bible studies, but that isn’t any more an assembly of the church than praying over dinner. Who is their pastor? Who are their deacons? Do they take communion with a local assembly?” Because I remind you that the bible does say that no longer would anyone have to teach hsi neighbor, and that though we are not to forsake the fellowshipping of ourselves together, you speak more of tradition and relgion in this matter than of the Lord God himself.Some do not have these luxuries. and I ask you who was Paul accountable to? It also depends on our purposes and the places God has put us. Perhaps you also are guilty of judging? As also am I at times, in fact many times. But just to point it out…the Lord told us that we need not that any man should teach us but the Holy Spirit within us teaches us, but he also said that iron sharpens iron. He did put some in the position as teachers, but still so, the word is the word. And some need more than others, though we all need some. The Lord will put us where we are supposed to be. Let me tell you brother.. of a 15 year old boy that was saved in India right on the streets. A street kid.. who is now 21 years old and keeper of a childrens home for 55 kids off the street and also an evangelist and a minster of the local congregation.. it is the Lord who works these things. Not traditino of men, and He will use what he will use….

I myself know a lot of American preachers, and I do listen to what they preach. And it is an irrefutable fact that many of them rarely, if ever, preach the gospel. Many of them glory in the condemnation of sinners, and get satisfaction in vocally making them aware of their condemnation. While there is nothing wrong with pointing out that truth, the remedy for that condemnation is rarely given except in vague terms, if at all. I agree with Timothy above that many of these preachers do not even have a local church from which to assemble themselves. They may have Bible studies, but that isn’t any more an assembly of the church than praying over dinner. Who is their pastor? Who are their deacons? Do they take communion with a local assembly? Are they accountable to anyone? Do they receive weekly instruction in the scriptures or are they a law unto themselves? These things are lacking in many of the street preachers’ lives. You cannot be right with God in one area of your life, if you are in rebellion in another.

A man that has his mind close;can never be taught the truth.The man that takes on this holy office[street preacher]must come to his calling with great reverance to the one who has called him.That is what is lacking in a great many of these hat wearing,banner waving rebuking young preachers.They have never sat under any one,nor do they come out of a local church.They negect thier devoition to the Lord,most don’t even know what i’m talking about here.to be a street preacher is a holy calling, worthy of prayer,worthy of leadership from God,worthy of the sarcifice that GOd may require of you.Some of these street preachers still insist that is thier abilty that stirs up the crowld.they call them ugly names,they lower themselves to the level of the ungoly,[so in thier minds they might them]they take the pure Gospel of God and slander it.In the hopes to reach the lost,never no never telling them how to be saved.Quick to condemn,quick tocall names,but never telling them of that Name that is above every name.The Lord Jesus Chirst.Brother ron you are right,very few street preachers master this type of appeal.mr judger take stock in yourself perhapes you migth find repentance.

Dear Judger,
Obviously by your personal choice of email entitlements you are an unaccomplished Judger of such matters in accusing us falsely of “judg[ing] their hearts and motives”. We simply stated what they constantly do, not why they do it. You are the Judger by your own entitlement, and have passed judgement upon their heart and motives by your claim that “they post these videos to encourage others to stand up for Christ”. That’s nice! But considering they post the videos of themselves in an arena where nudity, profanity, porn and all kinds of wickedness, sin, drunkeness, violence and perversion is likewise posted by folks who without exception all do so to brag about and propogate what they did in the video, we will let you draw your own judgments. But the web page where they post these videos of themselves preaching clearly says, YOU tube. Not Christ! Not Others! But YOU…tube. Now you are the Judger by your own admission. So draw your own conclusions about motives. We just stated they enjoy posting videos about themselves preaching. We simply stated what they did and continue to do in light of the scriptures. We are street preachers and will continue to preach and teach what street preachers should be doing and how to do it Biblically, knowing that there will always be judges like yourself that take offense, and that do not know near as much as you pretend to know.

I thought the article was pretty terrible myself.

Your open rebuke paragraph is completely exaggerated. I know many of the American street preachers. I don’t know any who just go to rebuke and not preach the gospel. You judge their hearts and motives, which is pretty foolish. They post these videos to encourage others to stand up for Christ.

Brother McRae,

Thanks brother for the exortation to encourage all that are called to “cry outloud and spare not”, to remember a more perfect work toward a sinner is to instruct him on the way of life “by a greater and more perfect tabernacle”, the Lord Jesus Christ.

It has become apparent to my own ministration, and by taking the mote out of my own eye that I may see clearly, I have also witnessed the same sloppy, non-biblical manifestations of open-air rebels than ministers of Jesus Christ. I am confident that the men that I preach with will take this as an admonition that we should walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. I pray others in the SPF and all who read this will do likewise.

Wow, great stuff! May the Lord help us to just shut up and listen and keep a balance in what we’re preaching – to not only “preach” in the Romans chapter two sense of the word, but also to “preach” in the sense of the word given in the Commission given to all of us – to give the “main” message of salvation offered to all who’ll believe on Jesus.
