We had another great Radio Show this week. After discussing what happened during the preaching on college campuses from the past week, we spent the rest of the first hour of the show talking about Sandwich Boards, Banners and Signs. There have been many people who are open air preachers who have rejected the use of such things. They will cite such reasons as pushing people away, bad preachers use them and that they are not effective. We address the objections to the use of these items and then we talk about our experiences with them as well as giving some tips on what to get if you are thinking about using sandwich boards, banners or signs. If you are an open air preacher and would like to get a Banner for your ministry outreaches, go to www.CryToGod.com and request one through them. If you are interested in getting a sanwich board for your ministry outreaches, we also have a contact for that. If you are serious about getting one, just contact me at: Kerrigan@PinPointEvangelism.com and I can help you with that. You can basically get a sign made at any local shop.
Something that we didn’t mention on the show this week, but I meant to mention are Buttons, Stickers and T-Shirts. These three things are three more ways to get the word out there when preaching or witnessing. We have personally seen how effective these three things can be as well. Take a look at Our Zazzle Store or create some for yourself.

The next thing we talked about was the Great Saint of the week. John talked a little about William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. We talked about his life, the time in which he lived, his family and his ministry. This led us to talk about Homeless Ministry. We talked about such issues as when to know when you are being conned by a homeless person, when you are enabling someone to stay homeless and when to actually help someone out. We finished up by talking about the current state of the ministry that Booth founded, the Salvation Army.
Lastly, we talked about “Saint” Augustine’s prayer to Mary the mother of Jesus. John read if through a 
paragraph at a time and we discussed issues. This prayer was BLASPHEMOUS and HERETICAL at the least. I don’t see how anyone Bible Believing Christian could call this man a “Saint”. He was ungodly at best. From this prayer, we get a glimpse of the beginning of the doctrine of Mary being co-redeemer of the world. The prayer would say such things as Mary being our only hope and that through her we are pardoned of our sins. Utterly ridiculous!
Next week we will be tackling the issue of Conditional Security. We will talk about Once Saved, Always Saved, Perseverance of the Saints and Losing Your Salvation. These are very important issues for professing Christians to talk about. Believing the wrong this about this issue could cost someone their soul! We look forward to talking about this!

Those who are against using signs and banners, claiming that they do not work, are always the people that have never actually used them.
But those who claim that signs and banners are useful and helpful are always the people that have actually tried them.
I would encourage all of our listeners not to be ashamed of such bold tactics as using; signs, banners, bullhorns, buttons, or tee shirts. God’s word will not return void and we never know in the natural what the Holy Spirit might do with someone who is convicted by these methods. We do know that this strategy often brings throngs of people around to listen to the proclamation of God’s Word. Saints, let’s get out there and publish God’s Word as many ways as we can! Amen.
SIGN Testimony:
I remember teaching a discipleship class once and the guy on the front row asked if i happened to be the “one” that was standing outside of his school one day with a big 3′ X 6′ SIGN. I confirmed the details and it confirmed being ME.
He said he was one of the guys standing on the sideline “kind-of” mocking me for what I was doing –
He ended up getting led to the Lord by his sister, got right with the Lord, and about six months later ended up “by accident” NOW being in my five-day discipleship class!
Out of a city of 16 million people, what are the chances of that happening??
He went on to do a four year Bible school in the Philippines and as far as I am aware is STILL doing OK with the Lord.
You “never know” what kinds of seeds are being planted when you “get out” with a SIGN – the BIGGER the BETTER!
