How Much Do You Have To Hate Somebody to Not Evangelize

Yesterday I preached on Matt 9:36 and John 4:34-36 giving a challenge to:

PARTNER WITH US IN THE GOSPEL THROUGH SOWING AND REAPING AS YOU WEEP FOR A HARVEST OF SOULS.

If God, the Gospel, Jesus, Heaven and Hell are real - it ought to make a radical difference in our hearts and lives in regards to our concern for those who do not have the saving power of Jesus in their life. We must share with them the Gospel and warn them of coming judgment.

After church a good friend told me about this video clip that you need to watch. It is from the Penn and Teller show - a show that I have never watched and don't know if I recommend or not. That is not the point.

Apparently, Penn does video clips called "Penn Says" in which he talks about life. In this clip he talks about a man who gave him a Bible and offered him the Gospel. Penn is an atheist but he greatly respected this man because he acted on what he believed. If a truck is headed straight for your neighbor but he does not see or believe it, the loving thing for you to do is to tackle him so he gets out of the way. He poses the question: "how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize. How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that."

Here you go:
