Death, Rape and Assault!

August 26, 2013, Indiana University

     The headline on the front page of the Indiana Daily Student read, "Plege remembered as giving, fun loving."  Before classes even started Becca Plege (name changed) was having fun last Thurday night by getting drunk at a college party.  She fell down the stairs, which left her unconscious.  Her "friends" did not call for help until 6 or 7 hours later, apparently fearful they would get into trouble since they were underage drinkers, or maybe they thought she had simply passed out.  After all it is not unusual for students to drink until they out cold.   By the time they got Plege on life support, it was too late; she died. 

IU agnostic justifies his unbelief.

  Plege had a strange idea of having fun, which cost her life.  Also on the front page was a report of another coed being raped at Foster Quad the same night that Plege fell to her death.   Also, another news report in the IDS told of a female being forced into a vehicle in the parking lot of a Bloomington strip club and being sexually assaulted.  Why would a decent girl be at a strip club?  The city paper reported that Indiana State Excise Police arrested nearly 100 people this weekend in Bloomington - more than half of them on charges of underage possession or consumption of alcohol.  IU is annually considered one of the biggest party schools in the nation.  Yet parents continue sending their children to this wasteland of debauchery. 

Parents, what are you thinking? A state university is NOT the place for your daughters.

      IU is the place where parents sacrifice their children unto the devil and pay big money to do it.  Not only do the parents pay but so do the taxpayers of Indiana-all in the name of education.

      Sister Pat brought up the tragic death of Plege to the students as a warning to the results of drunkenness.  They were offended that Sister Pat brought up the incident.

Freshman student comes out in his drag attire.  Crowd applauds the behavior.

      The Secular Alliance had a table set up and they were passing out Brother Jed Bingo cards.  One homo tried to kiss me but I managed to fend him off with an elbow.  I warned him that his action was sexual assault.  To my pacifist brothers I ask, "What should I have done, turn the other cheek?"  No way, Jose!  Several perverts came out one wearing rainbow underpants, leotards, and high heels dancing in a provocative manner around Mikhail.

Pervert defies the preaching with a  "lap dance" on a fellow homosexual.

  Also, Caleb, a homosexual who is confined to a wheel chair and has the word love tattooed on his arms, spent the afternoon spreading false love.  Caleb played decadent music on a boom box much of the afternoon.

   The audience numbered about 75 for most of the day.  I had a good talk with a boy whose was seriously considering Christianity after his older brother was recently converted.  He remembered me from last year; he wondered that I could stand steadfast in the midst of all the opposition.

 

Her dress matched her hair color!

       When the discussion was thoughtful, it centered on me defending the doctrine of free will. 

The Secular Alliance sponsored Bro. Jed Bingo.

Students calm down and listen as Sis. Pat witnesses to a Jewish student.

TOO HOT

August 29, 2013, Purdue University,

     

Too hot to draw a crowd but very good one-on-one conversations.

     Eventually, Phil, a Jewish atheist, arrived and stood beside Mikhail and later Cindy with a sign wh. ich merely read, "Citation?"  He was a good natured fellow, who brought up OT passages which mostly dealt with the ceremonial law and passages such as the one which required a seducer to marry the woman whom he had seduced, provided she wanted him. 

     Phil said, "It is too hot today for students to stay outside; people are staying inside where there is air conditioning."  We concluded that he was right so at 2:30 we left for a three and one half hour drive to Michigan to our guest home.  Phil apologized for not attending my meeting last week.  He promised to make every effort to come out the next time we come to Purdue.

This jewish atheist was with us the whole time.

THE HOPE OF GLORY

August 30, 2013, Grand Valley State

     Last year when we were on this campus, we caused no small stir. 

Female students listen as Sis. Cindy encourages them to save their virginity for marriage.

Today the crowds were smaller averaging around 50 and the students were less hostile.  Cindy was particularly impressed by a student who approached her and said, "I do not believe the Bible because it is full of contradictions."  Cindy taught him on the magnificent unity and continuity of the Bible; she gave him rules of Biblical interpretation.  Afterwards, his whole countenance changed and she could see a weight lifted off him.  He said, "That helps a lot; thank you for sharing that information."

Local resident, Bro. Myers joined us on campus for a few hours and did some sideline witnessing.

     Caleb, professing Christian, insisted throughout the afternoon that a Christian could not help but sin.  He also complained about my approach.  He demonstrated no evidence that he was receiving my holiness teaching, nor understanding my approach.  However, as our team walked back to the parking lot, he walked beside me.  He questioned me again, but away from the crowd he was much more agreeable to the possibility of overcoming sin and he was more understanding of our methods.

Bro. Jed calls students to the highway of holiness.

    Joey (16) and Sarah (18) McKenzie joined us on campus.  Joey challenged students on the sidelines all afternoon to live holy.  He has grown considerably in the Lord since we first met him last year, especially in boldness.  Sarah was our photographer for the day.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosphy and vain deceit, teaching after the traditions of men and the rudiments of this world and not after Christ. Col. 2:8

    We were hindered today by two men with lawnmowers and another with a blower, who seemed to be making every effort to mow and blow grass close to our audience.  Still our voices were loud enough to be heard; however, it is more taxing on the body to have to constantly be speaking at the top of our voices.

     We left campus as 3 PM since we had a four and one half hour drive to Atlanta, MI, for the Iron Sharpens Iron Conference sponsored by Peter Smith's Two Witness Ministry.  Peter Smith taught from the text, "Christ is in us, the hope of glory."  He explained that glory of God is God's goodness of character.    

This student heckler really helped us draw a crowd. He stopped passing students and insisted that they listen to us..."Bro. Jed is part of the college esperience."

         I briefly spoke on suffering for Christ's sake that we might reveal Christ's atoning work to the world.   God's goodness is primarily revealed through Christ's sacrifice on the Cross.   Although Christ is no longer physically on the Cross, the Body of Christ, the Church is on the Cross.  Whenever we boldly stand against sin, the world will want to kill us.  Therefore, there is a sense in which Jesus is still on the Cross since he is in us and we are in him.  His glory (goodness) is revealed in us as we eat of his flesh and drink of his blood.

     God's glory was revealed to GVSU today!

Repent and believe the Gospel or you will burn forever in the Lake of Fiirrrreee.

Bro. Mikhail tells the students that one day Jesus Christ will return!

Local high school student, Joey M. was very bold for the Lord Jesus today.  His sister, Sarah was our fantastic photographer for the day!  Thank you Sarah and Joey.

Bro. Mikhail defends the holiness message to a questioning student.

Go Bro. Mikhail!
