The Most Convicting YouTube Video I’ve Seen
Author: DavidJones // Category: Ethics, Pop Culture, The Church, TVLate Friday night, I came across this video on Facebook. As I watched it, I was mesmerized, convicted, and saddened at the same time. The video is from Penn Jillette of the famous entertaining duo, Penn & Teller. The duo is best known for their shows of illusion in Vegas, their TV shows, and Penn’s brief stint on Dancing With the Stars.
Nearly everything Penn stands for, I oppose. He is a staunch atheist, believes in the legalization of all drugs, and holds many other far left-wing radical liberal views. However, in the video I have listed below, he brings up some very good points I whole-heartedly agree with, but for different reasons. The video has convicted me to the core, as it should to all Christians. Watch it, and then throw me a comment and let me know what you think:

Wow. Really don’t have much else to say to that. As cliche’ as it sounds, it’s true that our actions speak louder than words sometimes. I think, as Christians, we could all learn a thing or two from this.

Wow. How interesting to hear an atheist use an analogy for our belief in Hell. My mom has always said that people don’t really belive what they say. Because if they did, they would live a whole lot differently. We have a responsibility that if we don’t take serious, we’ll live our whole life without furthering the Kingdom. I don’t want to be that person.
I also think it’s interesting how he kept mentioning that the man looked him in the eyes. Hm. Well thanks for posting the video. :)

Awesome video. Brought this verse to mind…
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. -Jn. 13:35
