I started us off by preaching in the open square area of the campus. After preaching about an hour with no crowd, I finally got a heckler. A former military soldier, who also professed to be a Christian, started yelling at me. "Who are you to come out here and preach? Who are you to come out here and judge and condemn everyone? Nobody listen to this man. This man is a moron!" I responded back with, "You just judged me!" to which he eventually asked for forgiveness.
But he did help me get a crowd. I continued to preach against sin, primarily drunkenness and fornication. Unfortunately, even a professing Christian in a wheel chair started heckling me. "Shut up! Shut up! Tell these people God loves them! Tell these people God loves them!" As I tried to respond he jetted off and said, "I don't want to hear you!"
The problem with many professing Christians on campuses is that they hate the message of repentance and holiness. They want to live in sin, and hear that God loves them. To hear that "God is angry with the wicked everyday" Ps 7:11, is so strange and foreign to them. "Your on a collision course with God. Like a train, judgment is speeding towards you on the tracts of sin! Get off the tracts!"

Today we had crowds of 50-60. It was a rather calm Q/A atmosphere the majority of the time, though at times the crowd was riled up.
One man in particular said the bible prophecies were in accurate. I extended my bible to him and said, "Show me one then. Before you call the bible a liar, show me at least one." He couldn't do it, he was bluffing.
There were a few Christians who judged and condemned us today, but many who commended us. We were on campus for 7 hours, and ministered for 6 1/2 hours. Even after the open air ended, there was a crowd of students still sitting around asking questions.
