Do you think that the dozens of people that I've brought with me as teams to the temple over 15 plus years of evangelism out there, that we haven't thought about the fact that we could run into people that we know, and do you know what, I, in fact, have, I've even lost, when I owned my own business 10 years ago, I even lost customers who specifically left my business, sat down with me and told me I could never pay money to an organization where the head of the organization comes to my church and tells me that I'm wrong, but do you know what's glorious, here's what's glorious, the necessity for aggressive evangelism is all that loss is nothing but gain, I'll tell you why, because of the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that I've spoken to over the years, I have seen people come to Christ, so many people come to Christ through our evangelism at the temple that I have at this point lost count, I don't even know how many people have come to Christ through that evangelism, so the necessity for aggressive evangelism, know this, the gospel's the power of God for salvation, you've got to tell people, and it sometimes means hey, if you have 100 ,000 people showing up at an event, you know what they're preaching or proclaiming, you know where the fish are at, if you were a fisherman and you were in a boat and you knew where they were collected, why would you go the other direction, why would you stay in a place where they're not, you know where they're at, go fishing, that's why we go, couple things, just as quick stories, this isn't, again, autobiographical stuff's not overly important, but I just want to give you some encouragement about this, couple stories, I have so many, but one is the temple was wrapping up one night, it's probably midnight, it's dark outside, we're ready to leave, everyone at this point that was with me had left, and I'm walking towards the Arby's and I ended up having a guy run into me on a bicycle and he starts to talk with me, and so I ended up talking with him for like an hour, giving him the gospel, telling him about the true and living God versus the gospel of Mormonism, and so we're on the side of the temple, on the east side of the temple down a dark street, and he starts to cry, and so I said, are you okay, and he says, yeah, I can't talk to you anymore, I gotta go, he takes a track and he takes off, I met that man a year later at a coffee shop, he walks up to me, he says, do you recognize me, no, no, no, I don't think so, and he sits down with me, he says, we talked on the side of the temple last year, I said, oh yeah, you drove off, you rode your bike off, he said, yeah, he said, I've turned to Christ, and he goes to a Baptist church in Mesa, and it was just cool how God brought this guy just, you know, full circle right in front of me, a year later at a random coffee shop, you know, and here's the thing, the guy was crying, he was in tears, oh, that's not nice, Jeff, listen, you proclaim the truth of God, God does the work to actually bring that person's heart from a place of stone to flesh, and to raise them to life, you go out and you tell them, sometimes, you know, you hand out a track, you don't think anything comes from that, we hand out all these tracks, by the way, if you come with us, you're gonna get these tracks, it says basic teachings of the LDS church, compares them with the Bible on the outside and it has the gospel on the back, so if you'd like to contact us, please contact us, we hand these tracks out, sometimes they get thrown down on the ground, sometimes people say, thank you very much, God bless you, and they walk off, I'm at a coffee shop with a college pastor, and I'm sitting down, it's like eight in the morning, we're drinking coffee together, talking, and my phone rings, it's a number I don't recognize, I answer it, it's this woman, she says, hey, I got one of your tracks, and I was just wondering, can I make copies of it, I have a business where I work with a lot of Latter Day Saints, can I make copies of it to hand out to the people that I actually work with, and I said, of course, she said, so they could call you and they could talk to you, I said, I'd love that, please do, and I said, but just a quick thing, it's been a while since I handed that out, this is like around maybe October or November after the Easter pageant, I said, it's been a while since I handed that thing out, where did you get it, and she said, oh, I got it from my sister in Christ, I said, well, that's cool, like, I'm trying to figure out where this thing came from, I said, well, that's cool, I said, where did she get it, she goes, oh, she was a member of the LDS church, she was a Mormon, until she got this track when she went to the temple, she came to Christ, and then she gave it to me, so here we have some random track that goes out at the temple, it goes home with this lady, she turns to Christ, gives it to another sister in Christ now, who's now making photocopies of it, giving out to her LDS friends and family, is it worth it, yeah, here's what I'm saying, listen, if my whole life, every bit of struggle, difficulty, pain, and insult that I've endured to go out and proclaim the gospel was about that lady coming to Christ, let me just say right now, that's a life well lived, lay down happy after that, if it's about one person coming out of darkness to know their savior, then that's a life well lived, it's worth it, but there's more, there's a Mormon missionary, I'm out of the temple, I'm on the west side of the temple, one night, dark outside, and there's tons of people coming by, I'm talking to this lady, this Mormon missionary comes out the side of the temple, he stands over, he's listening to the conversation for a while, he tries to interject a few times, I talk to him, I'm talking to her, I'm talking to him, talking to her, he'd say something, I'd say, well, that doesn't work, because the word of God says this, okay, and we're talking and reasoning, and then I notice as I'm talking to her, he's bending down into my bag, my bag's open up right there with tracks galore, kind of spilling out of it, right, yeah, I noticed, I was looking down at him, he's bending down, and he's, he actually puts his hand around a fat stack of the tracks, and I could tell he's about to bolt with him, and so I bend down really slowly to him, put my hand on his hand, I said, hey man, I have 75 ,000 of those, I said, I'll make a deal with you, if you can show me from the scriptures that I'm wrong, I promise you I'll leave and never come back, I promise, and so he goes, okay, slips his hand away, he stands up, we're talking for a little bit, so I'm giving him the gospel, telling him about Christ, who the true and living Jesus is, I'm telling about the gospel, he starts to cry, and so he ends up, I said, are you okay, and he starts to walk away, so he walks away, and then he started coming back, every day that I was there, he'd come back, and he'd say, hey Jeff, what's up, I said, hey man, he goes, you got a verse for me today, I'd say, uh, sure, and so I'd throw a verse over at him, I'd say, hey, Isaiah 43 10, and one God, none before none after, you believe that there was one, and you will become one, check that out, all right man, walk away, come back the next day, then he stayed for a little bit longer, and then he started sneaking away, he'd say, I need to talk to you, and so he'd sneak away with me, and actually a friend of mine, and we would go hide in an alley by the temple, just to rap, just to chop it up, just to talk, and my friend called me one night around midnight, and he says, Jeff, guess what just happened, I was just on the phone with him, I said, what, he turned to Christ, a Mormon missionary on his mission, so wow, we're like, whoa, that's astonishing, praise God, the next day we're out, I'm at the temple, homeboy is now in plain clothes, standing next to me with tracks, and the missionaries that are in the temple, they're pouring out to check out what's going on, they're like, they come out, they're like, what are you doing, yeah, what are you doing, these guys have brainwashed you, you can't do this, and I sat and watched this man one day into his relationship with the Lord, proclaim the gospel to these missionaries in a way that I couldn't even do, because he had understood what they needed to hear, he said, guys, we've been telling everybody this, but look what Luke says, we've been telling everybody this, but look what the Bible says, it's wrong, it's false, you need to turn from sin to Christ, and his guys proclaiming the gospel to these guys out there, one day off of his mission and out of Mormonism, amazing, another one, this is the last one I'll give you as a story about the need for aggressive evangelism, like this, hitting the streets, go, therefore, get out to them, right, go, don't sit, go, I'm at the temple, and I'm surrounded by a lot of returned missionaries, missionaries, and this is at a time, by the way, things have changed a bunch, I know Rob's been out there really pretty much the whole time I have, at least for the last 10 years, I think, and things have changed dramatically at the temple, where now, Latter -day Saints are not so engaged with the discussion and rational combat and, you know, getting into the scriptures, now it's a lot more on the subjective side, always was, but now it's fallen down to a level that's different, so this was at a time where you would go out there to preach the gospel, and you may be surrounded at some point by 10, 15 people, I mean, I've watched Dr. White out at the temple in the early years that I was there, I watched him surrounded by hordes of people, and those were amazing conversations to listen to, but I was surrounded this night by returned missionaries, some missionaries, and I remember at least this girl, and so she is just mad, she's spitting angry at me, and so she starts to cuss me out, which is interesting for a Mormon, she starts to cuss me out, she ends up taking my tracts that I had in my hand, she tore them up, she threw them in my face, and she spit at me, and you walk away from a night like that as a believer, and you may think to yourself, in your own humanness, in your own brokenness, you may look at the circumstances and the waves crashing into your boat, and you may think, where is God in this, and how is God ever going to use something like this, how would he ever do that, how is he ever going to use that experience in any way, so it's a year later now, I'm at my apartment, random night, it's like midnight, a bunch of Christians are overeating, hanging out, just fellowshipping, getting into the word together, and there's a knock at my door, and my friend John is at the door, he's with a guy and a girl I don't know, and he says, hey, I just met them over at Starbucks before we came over, he said, do you mind if they come and join us, they heard we're doing a Bible study, I said, of course, and so she starts to cry, and so they walk in, and I said to John, I said, why is she crying, he goes, I don't know, I just met her, I don't know, and so they come in, we kind of leave her alone, because she's clearly distraught, and as we're talking in my living room, a bunch of believers, and now these two strangers I don't know, and she's in the corner of the room, she's crying, she finally, at one point, breaks in, and she says, Jeff, do you recognize me, and I said, no, and she said, last year at the temple, you were talking to my friends, some of them were the returned missionaries, and everything, she says, I took your tracks from you, I tore them, I threw them at you, and I spit in your face, and I cussed you out, and I said, oh, yeah, yeah, I remember you, we were on the west side of the temple by the Arby's, I remember your friends, yeah, you were not happy that night, yeah, and so she starts to cry again, and she says, please forgive me, I said, forgive you for what, she said, please forgive me, because after you left that night, and I left, I had one of your tracks, and she said that I committed, committed that I was going to study your track, and what you believed, I was going to come back the next time, and I was going to refute you in front of all my friends, and after about four months, she said of getting into the scriptures, and doing all this, she met Christ, she turned to Christ, she came out of Mormonism, and now she was leading her Mormon friends to Christ, so is it necessary?
