How Bad?

Last night I was sitting in the first InterVarsity meeting of the year. We hosted Kinetic Church's Worship team and Pastor. It was great. Pastor Dave had a great message but there was one part I wanted to share with you all in particular.

Dave showed a video blog done by Teller of Penn and Teller. Brief rundown on Penn and Teller, they are both avid Athiest who have toured the country doing a sort of comical magic act. They have a TV show on SHOWTIME called Bullshit! where their entire purpose is to expose fakes and frauds. (My personal favorite is when they shame PETA)

Well anyways back to my purpose in blogging. The point of Teller's video blog was to talk about an encounter he had. Long story short there was a man who went to their Vegas show and was apparently used on stage in one of the acts the night before. After the next nights show he was able to approach Teller and was very complimentary of the act. He gave him a Gideons Bible with a note written inside it.

Teller is a man who wants to disprove Christianity and show it as a fraud much as he does for many other things. He said that if Christianity is real and what Christians stand for is real then why arent they acting with a sense of urgency? How bad do you have to Hate somebody not to tell them something like that? "If you're about to get hit by a truck and dont know it, there comes a point where I tackle you, and this isnt even as severe as the consequences of not following Christianity." He said I'm not a fan of religious people but that guy that confronted me and showed that he cared. He was a good man, that guy was a good man.

So to end off this first short blog of my Junior year.....

Guy's we gotta start living it, we cant go on like we have been anymore, either we live it and tell people with urgency the Good News deserves or we just dont care.
