Lonnie Frisbee was a modern day john the babtist, and a controversial individual who started the JESUS movement in the late 60's. back then people wanted real tangible experiences, and they would do and use anything to find it. Jeremiah says you will seek me an find me when you search for me with all of your heart.
Lonnie encountered JESUS. sadly many people used him to grow their ministry and never took the time, energy and effort to see him set free of his personal demons. GOD uses the foolish things to confound the wise. He will use somebody like lonnie, because he has no pretense, no preconceived notions. lonnie was innocent, and childlike in faith.
Several important observations. after bitterness set in, his usefulness for the kingdom diminished. lonnie made foolish choices, but they could have been circumvented if people cared more about him than their ministry. I believe GOD will use more people like lonnie. GOD uses the least,the lost, the rejects, the weirdos, the juggalos, and homeless people of our days. But we must embrace them and see them into maturity, walk them through freedom, and teach them to pick up there cross every day.
may GOD rise up more like lonnie.
