MagicAllusions Description of Ministry

Of course, there is nothing "magical" about what we do. It is all simply an "illusion". Our purpose in using this medium is simple, close the gap of learning as much as possible so that the Gospel is getting through. Let me quickly explain. You see, the human brain is capable of processing information much faster than the human mouth can present it. As a result, there is a large part of the brain that "wanders" during a message. In using illusions and ventriloquism, we effectively narrow that gap, creating an environment that is not only entertaining, but extremely conducive to hearing and understanding the Gospel. Furthermore, we are not like many Gospel magicians who give you 45 minutes of a magic show, and then 15 minutes of preaching. We believe the message should be interwoven throughout the magic presentation, and as a result effectively present the Word of God in the entire show!

If you were to take SIN and make it into a color, what color would it be? According to Isaiah 1:18 God says ... "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be RED like crimson, they shall be as wool." So let's have this red silk represent sin.

Too often, instead of dealing with our sin by confessing it, we try to hide it, bury it as deep as we can, in hopes that we won't get caught.

When nothing happens, we convince ourselves that we have gotten away with it, and won't get into trouble. After all, no one saw me do it, no one will find out, so what's the big deal? But someone did see. Someone does know about your sin. And that someone is God! The Bible tells us in Proverbs 15:3 that "the eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good".

In other words, God sees EVERYTHING you do, and knows about that sin that you are trying to hide. And in Numbers 32:23 God warns us to "be sure your sin will find you out." You can't hide your sin from God!

Let me expand this further by showing you this cube. Let's pretend that this cube is you. No, I'm not calling you a square or blockhead, I just want us to pretend for a moment that this is you.

These ropes we will have represent SIN. Did you know that the Bible tells us that ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's glory? That word "all" includes YOU! So these ropes slide through the center of the cube to help us understand that all of us have sin in our bodies.

Now we place the cube with the ropes running through it into this clamp to illustrate the verse in the Bible that tells us we are bound by the cords of our sin. There is nothing you can do to save yourself, no matter how hard you try to be good, the fact is: the wages of sin is death! Because of your sin, you are locked into a Christless eternity in Hell.

But John 3:16 tells us that God loved you so much that He gave His only Son - Jesus to pay the price for your sins. He died on the cross in your place. And if you place your faith in Him as your savior, He shall set you free! By placing your trust in Jesus Christ, you are headed to an eternity in Heaven!
