the oncoming truck

Most of you are probably familiar with the magic duo of Penn & Teller. This is a video from Penn Gillette that I would like to share with you. It's a video blog about a time he was given a Bible. It's only five minutes so please watch it all the way through.
This video was shown today in my class. I know I keep talking about my class, but it has been such a good learning opportunity that I only want to share it with you. This video was like a punch in the stomach to me. He's an atheist showing respect for a man who evangelized to him. The question he made that really hit me hard was when he asked "how much do you have to hate someone?"

Too often we care more for how others will view us. We are more concerned with not looking foolish than we are concerned with sharing the best thing that has ever happened to us--CHRIST!  As my professor pointed out today...Jim Elliott once said "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." What do you have to lose? As Christians, we have it all!

Will you not forewarn the person in front of the oncoming truck just because they don't want to believe it's there? If you're so concerned about how you appear to non-Christians then just remember, your silence speaks of hatred.
