I went to the Westport area at around 2 am.The clubs normally close down at 3 am.I started giving out gospel tracts.When people leave the clubs they normally stop to buy hotdogs from a certain vendor.I saw that a crowd of probably 25 people were gathered together.I opened my bible to Revelation 20:11-15,I knew God wanted to preach on the great white throne judgment.There was a slightly raised concrete wall near the vendor so i stood up on it and went on to read the scripture.I asked how many were certain that their names were in the book of life.I told them the only way possible to be in the book of life was through accepting Jesus as Lord and savior,thats what Jesus did on the cross that they could be saved.Told them Jesus being their Lord means they have to keep his commandments.People had stopped talking and were listening,I guess they hadnt expected anybody to open air preach there.I went through 3 commandments and asked how many had broken any of them.It wasnt about living as you liked all week and thinking you would make up for it on Sunday morning at church,I told them God would not compromise on his Holiness and everyone needed to repent for the kingdom of heaven was at hand.I asked how many wanted to accept Jesus at that time,one person said he did but i think he was mocking.I asked them if any died tonight if they would end up in heaven?I asked again if any were willing to accept Jesus and repent.No one was.I then stepped down and one person came up to me and thanked me for preaching.I heard someone clapping and realized it was a man i had witnessed to before,he talked to me for a while and i gave him a gospel tract.As I was walking to my car, another person came up to me and I gave him and his friend gospel tracts.He then told me that he was a preachers kid and that he was soon to be assistant pastor.I asked him was he living for the Lord and he said yes.I asked him what he thought God felt about him going to the club.He said it was alright.I showed him 1 Peter 4:3 and also told him the bible tells us that as christians everything we do needs to glorify God.I was led by the Holy Sprit to speak on fornication,he got really argumentative about fornication not being a sin and said if he took a lady and really loved her and had sex with her then it was okay.I showed him Galatians 5:22.He told me it could still be recognized by God as a marriage if he had good intentions towards the lady.I knew we would go on for hours talking about it so I told him I had to go and reminded him that God would judge fornication according to the bible and anyone practicing it needs to repent.I then left to go home.I praise God for giving me words to say.
