The team has reached Rifle, Colorado. Flip said they'd just had the most miraculous thing happen. They needed propane, quite a bit of it, for the RV and another vehicle. They pulled in to get it. Maybe because the man selling it saw their "Jesus is the Standard" sign and other religious signs, he told them he would sell them the propane at his cost. After they got the fuel, God moved his heart again. He said, "No, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'm just going to give you the propane as part of a promotional I'm doing." So they received $80 of propane absolutely free.
Flip said Saturday was Earth Day in Grand Junction and they passed out several hundred brochures. They got in trouble while walking down Main Street due to their preaching that homosexuality is a sin. The police questioned them, accusing them of disturbing the peace. But they told the police, "On the contrary, we are proclaiming the peace that can be found through Jesus Christ." Flip said it seems that the only speech they want censured anymore is the Gospel.
After they left the Earth Day activities, a man pulled up and asked them if they had been at Earth Day. They told him,Yes. He said, "My wife is a Wiccan and she's very upset because you told my kids that good parents take their children to church." He said, "We're tolerant of all religions but you're just a bunch of #%!! for telling my kids something like that." He said, "I'm not putting up with it. I've called the City Council and the Police on you #%!!." He told them they were hypocrites.
Flip said, "You said that you were tolerant of all religions, but you've haven't stopped using four letter words in front of us and our children. How tolerant are you being of our Christian views and who is the real hypocrite is this situation?" Flip told him that he didn't doubt that Wiccans held very sincere beliefs, but that the people on the Titanic sincerely believed that their ship was unsinkable. They were very sincere, but very wrong.
