How about an abstract?

It is a strong indictment about the weakness of the Church in this present world! The video is a powerful message from a polar opposite.

That (bolded) is a multi-faceted statement... the young man in the video fits this statement quite well. It also fits the Church...

Oh that I might know him, AND the power of his resurrection, AND the fellowship of His suffering. Many are happy to know him on levels one and two, but few of us are willing to get to know him at level three, being made conformable unto his death!

Thanks for a very provocative link!

It just goes to show that he well knows what we believe but doesn't know the Author of those beliefs.

Okay, neat.

However.... here's my thoughts...

1. Who is this guy? Anyone we know? No? As far as I know this could have been staged... Not saying it is, just saying, you know, this being Black Helicopter Month and all...

2. Seriously, *my* interactions with atheists and assorted other "non believers" has been different. I do NOT find that they "respect" someone who is bold and serious about evangelism. Instead, they despise such people, call them "fundies", and generally hold them to be onerous and boorish. They go so far as to pretend to inform the "fundie" that "real Christianity is not like you present it, real Christianity is a love everybody, get on nobody's nerves, touchy-feely feel good religion of no real impact."

Seriously, I kid you not, that has been the general consensus among the atheists, satanists, pagans, neo-pagans, agnostics, and other types I have encountered over the last 15 years.

I have NEVER had an atheist or nonbeliever tell me or anyone else I know that "if Christians really believed what they preached, they would be out in public far more, and making far more of an issue of salvation and evangelism than they do now, they would not remain silent."

The world hates Christ, and they hate the gospel.

If Christians "really stood up for Jesus" they would not go "Oh, wow, look at all the Christians, they really believe this stuff, wow, I respect them for that!" No, the world would comment on the rise of "religious extremism and intolerance" and call for the lions to be brought in...

Trying to see to type through my tears.....

I preached Sunday morning on "The Proof of the Resurrection", and brought out how the proof cannot be found in artifacts such as an empty cross, an empty tomb, a tangled robe, or a folded napkin. Artifacts can be manufactured, and even duplicated. The "Proof of the Resurrection" should be found in the strength and power of the church.

"Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you".

Lord, increase my burden....
