Jeff Miller of Consuming Worship posted a video earlier today on Twitter that really hit me to my core.

Penn Jillette is the very outspoken member of the comedic magician’s duo Penn and Teller.  It is widely known that Penn is an athiest and takes every opportunity to promote athiesm and discount religion of any form, but has been especially critical of Christianity.  So I was surprised when I watched this video and was impacted by the words of a man who carries such disdain for Christianity.  Check it out:

It is obvious that this encounter Penn had with a Christian who genuinely cared made a real impact on him in a way that was unexpected…enough that he felt the need to share that experience with the world.

Watching this video really made me think.  What if we all could step out in faith and boldness and express a genuine love for the unChristian world out there the way this man did?  Instead of conentrating on building our little kingdoms (churches), shouldn’t we all be out there…having this kind of impact on everyone we encounter?
