Learning From John Edwards

Back on June 4, 2011, I used the then-breaking news about the John Edwards alleged adultery and campaign finance issue to springboard to the gospel at the famous Downtown Des Moines Farmers Market.

John Edwards is now beginning to have his day in court, with jury selection beginning 4 days ago. In my message, I made a prediction (not a prophesy) that a cover-up of any criminal activity would be what gets him, not necessarily the initial crime itself. You and I are no different than Mr. Edwards: we wear a mask of goodness and try to cover up what is really in our heart. By the grace of God, we can "come clean" now in repentance and faith, and allow Jesus to clean us up, presenting us spotless before the throne of God.

This was recorded on my cell phone. The sound reflects the noise of the street: wind, conversations of passers-by, dogs barking, laughter, and the occasional heckler. The audio files from cell phones are huge, at least when converted to MP3. I  had to break it up into Part 1 and Part 2 just to upload to the internet. So, click on the both of the links and take a listen. All together it is around 20 minutes long.
