Evangelism From a Different Perspective
I came across this clip the other day. This is a remarkable "testimony" from the other side of the fence. Penn poses a good question that I will paraphrase: "How much do you have to hate someone to not share the gospel?"

I'm not sure how I feel about this clip. I thought it was interesting how he kept using the work "Proselytize" when Christians would see it as evangelizing. I guess when I share Jesus, I don't think of it that way.
I too am uncomfortable with the word "prosletyze," but used in the context of one who is an avowed atheist, it is probably the only word that he knows to describe what we call evangelism. It certainly is a rebuke to our half-hearted efforts (at times) at sharing our faith.
