Open-air preaching at the San Bernardino City Hall & State building
While looking for a place to preach, I discovered there was a rally at the city hall. Once set up, I learned their rallies cause, was for the legalization of marijuana. I made my own one-man rally, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. I preached two messages ~
1) This one, on the ‘Romans Road to Salvation.’
2) Another on the ‘Ten Commandments,’ and how we all have broken them all.
Sadly you will hear two subjects take Gods Word out of context, to justify their marijuana use.
Afterwards, many tracts were handed out. Some approached to antagonize me, some to mock God. However, a few did have some sincere heart felt questions, regarding sin, Gods Word, and salvation.
I also preached another message in front of the State building. The seeds were planted, and the results are the Lord’s.
So that our videos are not repetitive, I will not be uploading every video of every open-air outreach. Just an occasional video here and there.

It was suggested by another via an email, that I may have been “casting my pearls before swine.”
Folks we will never know if there are actually Biblical ‘swine’ or not, unless we try first. The Lord loves the swine too.
As fishers of men, Jesus told us to “go out.” He didn’t say stay inside our churches. The only way I’ll ever know if we get a bite of not, is by putting our fishing pole in the water.
As this blog posts states, there was evidence of fruit after the 2nd message given. Either way, Gods Word never comes back void.
If you are not a Christian, I am not judging you, I expect this from non-Christians. I am only warning you.
But sadly, many alleged Christians are smoking marijuana. Those marijuana smokers that called themselves ‘Christians,’ have willfully taken Gods Word out of context.
They have heretically used Gen 1:12&20, to justify their marijuana use.
In those verses the Lord speaks of God’s creation of “grass” and “weed.”
It is true that God created this beautiful world. But what these alleged Christians don’t tell you, is that in the second chapter of Genesis, sin entered the garden of Eden.
Then in the third chapter came the curse. Because of Adam and Eves’ sin, the curse entered the garden and the whole world.
This same curse attacks our homes, lawns, and gardens. The weeds that take over our beautiful gardens, are from that curse. These weeds are not good.
That is why one of the names for marijuana, is “weed.” This weed we call marijuana is part of the curse.
The Bible warns us about drugs (including marijuana,) that it is a wicked sin.
It says in Gal 6:19-21, “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
God warned that those who practice those sins will go to hell.
The word ‘sorcery’ in that passage comes from the Greek is ‘pharmakeia.’ It means any drug that altars the mind. Marijuana is a form of sorcery.
God also warned that putting anything before God, or beside God, is idolatry. The following warning was written to Christians.
It says in 1st Cor 6: 9-11, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you.
But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
Anyone that practices any of those sins, will perish in hell. Including those that call themselves a Christians, that may even attend a church.
Jesus warned in Rev 21:8, “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The Bible makes it clear that dope smokers are sorcerers. For those of you that call yourselves a Christian, please listen up.
It says in Romans 6:11-13, ”Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.”
Don’t even associate with marijuana dispensaries. It says in “1 Cor 15:33, “Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
Jesus warned in Mark 1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” If we do not repent from our sins, and believe in the Bible; we will perish in hell. It means either turn or burn. Jesus warned in Luke 13:3, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
The word ‘repent’ means to have a change of mind and change of heart. To turn form or sins, and turn to Christ. Put your trust and faith in Christ, and Christ alone.
The Lord loves you, He would rather you surrender our life over to Him.
