Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller is an atheist, but he recently posted this video blog that is pretty AMAZING and really encouraging to me. I know not all atheists share his view (in fact, probably very few) but this is something to keep in mind whenever you are hesitant to share the gospel with someone.
Like he says, it’s like seeing someone about to be hit by a truck–at some point, you’re going to lunge for them to save them. And according to Penn, “this is more important.”
“How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that. I mean, if I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was coming to hit you and you didn’t believe it, that truck was bearing down on you, there’s a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that.”
He’s right. It is.
But if I say, “I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name,” Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it. – Jeremiah 20:9 (NASB)

First time reader (here through The Pioneer Woman’s Tweets – don’t ask, long story), and I loved this post. It got me and my husband talking about believers vs. non-believers. Interesting stuff.
wow. I’m convicted.
In his book “Share Jesus Without Fear”, William Fay said in his entire life prior to salvation, he never forgot the face of anyone who shared the Gospel with him.
People are lost and want and NEED something. We have it and we MUST share it. How can we keep silent when it is a matter of eternal life and death?
This is an extremely powerful video. Thanks for sharing it, Liz.
