JESUSFEST 2013 (ROCK & ROLL HARDEE’S SPRINGFIELD, IL

One of the major goals I have in bringing these free outdoor Christian concerts to various parts of the city and the county in coming months and years is to bring the joyful news of the Kingdom to areas given up by the church, to worldly systems.  The first one, though too long by a few hours, happened in Auburn, Illinois in October 2011. JesusFest 2 was at the brand new SouthWinds Park (just on the outskirts of town) in October 2012 and the recently concluded JesusFest 3 brought the powerful message of Jesus to the South East Laketown area of Springfield.

Future spots being explored are Petersburg, Rochester, Chatham and other parts of this big city of Springfield. The rubber meets the road…on the road. We can expound and pontificate from a pulpit on Sunday morning, feel good about ourselves and there is nothing wrong with any of this. However the Great Commission from the Great Christ was to “GO AND MAKE”, not sit and take. Evangelism and outreach are not just two words which begin with vowels, but the burden of every soul (or should be) who has been called out of the pit by the Great Rescuer – Jesus, when He saved us. This event went so well, that even the regional management of Hardee’s was impressed by the size and tone of this outreach, under the most perfect sky of the month!

So many hearts were touched, we were invited to do an event there monthly. If I had the resources and could, I would do that, just to reach that part of the city which has the biggest strip-club between Chicago and St. Louis – Deja Vu! God alone knows how many people’s lives – from marriages to the young women who peddle their flesh there – have been completely destroyed by this so-called “gentleman’s club”. No real gentleman will be caught dead in a place like that – EVER!

The stench of scandals permeates every fiber of an America. There are military scandals. There are political scandals. There are celebrity sex and perversion scandals. There are the IRS Audit scandals.  The biggest scandal of all is that America, which likes to boast that it is Christian country unfortunately, cannot see that its spiritual soul is sinking into a bottomless pit worse than the Titanic. One of the newest ones is these politically-motivated audits. However, as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, concerned with the immortal souls of my fellow human being, it is my duty to redirect the issue of audits.

This may seem hokey to some, but one day every human being ever born, will be audited  by his/her Creator. The Bible says it is appointed once for a man to die and then comes the Judgment. (Sorry, re-incarnation devotees)….and  no apologies to the Evolution crowd – the Big Bang you will be hearing on that Day, will be His Gavel of Justice! In light of this upcoming Audit of Audits, or as the military talking heads call it “The Mother of All Audits”, I ask the question to anyone reading this “WHAT IF JESUS AUDITS YOU RIGHT NOW”? After all, the Bible, which most Americans still say they believe in, says “examine yourself daily to see if ye be in the Faith”!

Just briefly, What If Jesus Audited Christians:
– Under Exodus Subchapter 20 Paragraphs 1-17, you (and I) have violated each of the 10 statutes during our lives. Do you deny that Romans Sub 3 Paragraph 23 says that “ALL have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God”?
– If you agree with the above, now, are you seeking a pardon from the Commander of the Universe, Who sent the Judge Advocate – Jesus Christ to die on a Cross on April 7, 30AD. If this plea bargain is not agreed to, do you know the result with be weeping and gnashing of teeth FOREVER, in a place called hell?
– Knowing this, have you sought and received that pardon and on your spiritual 1040 Form, can you check and sign under penalty of Judgment that you saved ?
– And if this plea agreement is valid and sealed, are you now walking in obedience?
