Sunday morning's video message was a HOME RUN!! A number of people said it was one of the most powerful services they could remember at Harvest.
Go God!!!!!!!! :)
Now about the subject at hand. For many years, I have seen the magicians Penn and Teller do their thing on talk shows. They are a big Vegas act and extremely popular there. Both are admitted atheists, and, from what I have read, both gay.
I watched this the other day and came under great conviction about being more bold in sharing the Gospel. Very strange being convicted by an atheist! Take the 5 minutes to take this whole thing in. At first you will wonder where it is going, but trust me, it is going somewhere. Just be patient!
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR WITNESS!!!!
Love you guys,
PB
Penn's comments illustrate how everyone resonates with spirituality (the "God qualities" in life), and can recognize authentic love and genuine spirituality in others. Penn couldn't quite figure it out, but he certainly knew it was real. Who knows what God is doing inside of his heart right now!

Very good points already shared. God will use what this guy shared... read my facebook note entitled, "Bumped by God" for a testimony of how I witnessed this week on an air flight and how it impacted "John".

What a blessing, someone out there getting it right. Being a witness without the flakiness. The interesting thing is that many will pray now for the spirit to draw that man to the Father. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets saved soon. He was touched by the Holy Spirit in that man. Only God is good and what he witnessed was the goodness of God which leads men ubto repentance. Way cool.

I shared this at work! Thanks! Everyone is dying and we've got the cure.

He said that he knows there is no God, but did you see the look on his face? I wasn't convinced. God is working there. That was cool.

Thanks PB, sometimes we just don't see that the seed was sown.

Man that was convicting. Its really interesting to hear an atheist describe his opinion of people who dont try to share thier faith. I think it says something to the notion of just living a good and quiet life isnt enough. We have to share our faith with both works and word. What a seed this guy had deposited in him simpily by an act of obiedieance of one man.
