About This Video

Shawn invites everyone, except assassins, to an inclusive baptism event called Heart in the Parking Lot on September 26th, 2021, emphasizing the personal significance of baptism as an outward expression of faith rather than debating religious doctrines or practices. Additionally, he issues a "six months notice" urging those uninterested in or resistant to the transformative message of Christ's freedom and direct relationship with God to unsubscribe, while encouraging those who genuinely seek to grow in love for God and others to remain engaged.

The teaching emphasizes a fresh interpretation of love as described in 1st Corinthians 13, appealing to individuals disillusioned by various religious institutions or beliefs and encouraging them to participate in a new approach that promises greater personal service and fulfillment. To engage further, you are invited to contact the team with your details to prepare for upcoming insights that are intended to enhance your life.

The Short Show 45s: Baptism and Six Month Notice

Heart in the Parking Lot: Open Water Baptism

From the Mecca of . . .

This is the Short show Show 45s Your Six Month Notice Taped Sunday August 15th 2021 To Air Monday August 23rd 2021 Two things:

First, on Sunday September 26th 2021 we are hosting our annual open water baptism that we call Heart in the Parking Lot and all are invited.

Who is ALL?

All with one exception – no assassins.

Gays straights Arminianists Calvinists, criminals, the upright, republicans, demoncrat, the right the left, all races all genders all creeds all denoms and expressions – are welcome to come and either eat with us (we cook hotdogs on a grill) and/or get baptized.

Now a funny thing about our baptisms – we do them how you want them to be done. We will sprinkle you, dunk you, splash you, and we will do it in whatever name you want – Father Son and Holy Spirit, Jesus Name, Yeshua the Anointed’s name – and when I say we, I mean we provide the water and anyone can do the baptizing.

Here’s why? The practice is debated, the words are debated, the people doing it is debated – but all we care about is that you want to participate in an outward expression to evidence your inward faith.

All we suggest is you bring a towel and change of clothes.

So come one, come all, Sunday, September 26th 12 PM til 2PM and fellowship with us as followers of Christ, and in love.

The Significance of Your Six Month Notice

Secondly, we want to give you all your six months notice. What will happen in six months?

For us, and all we have done and been about, something momentous and very important. Something that has been a long time coming, something that we have been working on behind the scenes for years now.

Now, I was talking with my middle Daughter Cassidy about this and she brought something important to my attention.

She said that people who do not want the truth in their lives – and I am talking about those who are not of faith – look for reasons to not believe.

That no matter what you present to them they will find a reason to reject it. But the point that really struck home for me was when she said,

If fact, the message of the Great News that we offer people is possibly even MORE objectionable to such souls because in the face of God doing everything on their behalf to remove any and all impediments from them coming to Him the onus and responsibility is too much, and therefore the rejection even more determined.

I never thought about it that way, but I think its true. And I’m mentioning it now in the face of this six months notice to take a wide pass at a large part of potential participants and excusing them out of hand.

You will not want what is coming because you don’t want anything that is coming. Hard cold your going to hell Christianity or the “its all been accomplished on your behalf” Christianity that we offer.

Bottom line: You want your will and ways and so please, excuse yourselves from the table now and unsubscribe. You’ve had over 15 years of information thrown at you and even though the news has gotten better and better you remain unaffected.

Time to part ways.

Freedom in Faith

Then there are those believers who, no matter what evidences are presented to them, insist on clinging to the traditions, dogmas and practices that men have heaped upon them.

Where Nicholson classically shouted, “You can’t handle the truth,” I shout, “You can’t handle the freedom!”

The freedom which comes with Jesus finishing everything. With God now being all in all. With Him having a direct relationship with you WITHOUT anyone or anything getting in between you.

It’s okay. I don’t think God cares or minds and loves you just the same. But you don’t belong here either. You’re just looking for ways to convince yourselves how wrong I am, how lost I am or to witness how far you think I’ve fallen.

Again, its okay – love you anyway – but you too should unsubscribe now and walk away. This is your six months notice. Better now than later.

However, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, IF you are someone who:

Loves God through His Son Jesus Christ.

And if you seek to increase in knowledge of them according to the scripture, and most importantly, if you have a heart to love all people everywhere all the time with

Love in 1st Corinthians 13

The love that is described in 1st Corinthians 13, and if you are tired and over or burned by what modern Evangelicalism, or Roman Catholicism, or Eastern Orthodoxy, or Protestant High Church, or Protestant Low Church, or Mormonism, or any other ism or ist has fed you – stay subscribed – and do us a favor in preparation for what lies ahead –
