Avowed Atheist Penn from Penn and Teller tells of a recent encounter after one of his shows in which a man gave him a Bible. Penn’s take on this may surprise you.

Many thanks for posting this. Reminds me of a TV segment in which a man dieing of cancer rebukes a man pleaser poser of a pastor (who is also female) because she won’t tell him of hell and of Christ. He wants answers, not platitudes. He throws her out of his room because she is unwilling/unable to tell of how to inherit eternal life.
One of my elders (you may have heard of Voddie Baucham?) mentioned this Penn video a couple weeks ago. He drilled us with the question, “How much must we hate pagans to be unwilling to tell them of Christ?”
My flesh hates going to church, but oh how my soul rejoices!
What he is saying about how touched he was with this man giving him a bible, does not match with his statement of being an atheist. It seems to have really affected him, yet if he doesn’t believe in God it wouldn’t mean anything, or more likely cause derision. Only God knows men’s hearts. We have to be faithful and proclaim the gospel
All I can say is WOW! It seems that this man planted a seed. We need to pray that God sends someone else to water and pray for Penn’s salvation! What a bold witness he would have for Christ if he were a believer ! To God be the glory!
