Repent or Perish

Christian street preachers on Miami Beach. These images were taken over a period of a month. For those that know Miami Beach, the location was Ocean Drive and Lincoln Mall. I asked them for a mission statment as I do all groups I cover that speak in public and they provided:
OUR MISSION AND MANDATE - To preach the Bible publicly on the streets, college campuses, and big events, calling sinners to repent of all sin, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and live a life of holiness and obedience to the teachings of the Bible, and train others to do the same.

Great gallery. You have really captured the feeling of what is happening here. I do not think that these people are helping to convert ANYBODY though. They seem to carry too much anger. Oh well. BUT GREAT SHOTS!!

I really enjoyed viewing your images. They are full of raw emotions that you just can't get anywhere else. They remind me of a time when my mother, a christian missionary, came to visit me when I lived in south beach (for 8 years). She said this place was like "hell on earth!" Well, I loved living there and it was also good to see the old sights again. Kudos on some great shots!

You say that God HATES sin. In these pictures you look like you HATE too

Good pics! But why do Christians so often look so angry when they are preaching about the supposed God of love? As they say, "thank god, I'm an atheist"! http://www.pbase.com/ethicalheretic/image/51129398

God's word hasnt changed. People hearts have. http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/a/n/awilljud.htm Words: Phil�ip Dod�dridge, pub�lished post�hu�mous�ly in Hymns Founde�d on Var�i�ous Texts in the Ho�ly Scrip�ture. By the Late Rev�er�end Phil�ip Dod�dridge, D. D., by Job Or�ton (J. Ed�dowes & J. Cot�ton: 1755). Music: �Southwell (Daman),� Wil�liam Da�man, Psalmes of Da�vid in Eng�lish Me�ter, 1579 And will the Judge descend, And must the dead arise And not a single soul escape His all discerning eyes? And from His righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound And through the numerous guilty throng Spread black despair around: �Depart from Me, accursed, To everlasting flame, For rebel angels first prepared, Where mercy never came�? How will my heart endure The terrors of that day When earth and Heav�n before His face Astonished shrink away? But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark from the Gospel�s cheering sound What joyful tidings spread: Ye sinners, seek His grace Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross And find salvation there.

Great job capturing the mood. In other countries people are hungry for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, begging for the Bible. In this country it is mocked. I kind of find it haunting, that these maybe actual images played back one day by God to people who rejected him - final images - Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Can you risk being wrong?
