Escape from Hamas

Here is an interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the Hamas founders, who converted to Christianity. It all started because a Christian tourist to Israel gave him a Bible. Watch this and you will never again question the importance of sharing our faith. This young man could literally change the face of Islam, but in doing so he also puts his own life in danger.

I have included part of the transcript from the FoxNews Special because his testimony is so powerful.

Mosab Hassan: I’m not trying to offend Muslims. I love them. Those Muslims are my family.

Jonathon Hunt: But you are going to offend people and you are going to put your own life in danger, aren’t you, by doing this?

Mosab: Some of them will be offended. Some of them will be offended, but I am sure, I believe that many of them will wake up.

Jonathon: Some of them will try to kill you.

Mosab: They will, they will. If they will kill me, they will kill this body, but the question, what about my soul, what about my ideas, what about my beliefs that I shared with everybody. Will they be able to kill this? I don’t think so.

Announcer: Within days (of the August report), Al-Qaeda, the world’s most notorious terrist group responded, issuing a lengthy statement criticizing Hamas for allowing this young man to convert to Christianity and concluding by quoting the chilling words of Mohammed, “Whoever changes his religion - Kill him”

Jonathon: Are you scared?

Mosab: I don’t want to die and I don’t want to pretend that I like to die. I love to live. I love to serve my Lord. But if this will be the challenge, and this is how I prove my faith, I ask God to give me patience to do it.

Announcer: And Mosab Hassan says his family will likely also suffer.

Jonathon: How does that make you feel? Do you think you shouldn’t have done this? You shouldn’t have gone public?

Mosab: No, I had to do this. I had to do this because this is going to change so many people lives. Hopefully, my family’s life.

Jonathon: Do you believe your father will one day become a Christian?

Mosab: He is not too far from Christianity. He is very close. I told him that. I told him you are very far of Islam and very close to Christianity. That was my last sentence to him.

Jonathon: How do you think he reacted to that?

Mosab: He cried.

Jonathon: Tears of joy or despair.

Mosab: I don’t think it was joy at that moment. One day he will understand.

Jonathon: You’re depending on the charity of others. Your family back home is in tears. How do you cope with all of that?

Mosab: It’s a low price for Jesus. It’s even nothing. It’s like comparing to what He has done to us, it’s nothing.

Elvis's Last Words

I was watching Mike Huckabee this past weekend and he was having an Elvis special. He talked to Rick Stanley, who is a step brother to Elvis and may have been the last person to talk to Elvis before his death 8 hours later. This is the conversation according to Rick.

Rick: There is this girl that keeps telling me I need the Lord.

Elvis: She's telling you the truth.

Rick: I've tried to kick this, I've tried to kick all that stuff. (I was under the impression that to become a Christian you have to stop, you have to kick something to come to Christ. I didn't know that you come to the Lord; that is how you kick. I had it backwards.)

Elvis: It's those people who talk to you about Jesus, they're the ones who truly care.

It's those people who talk to you about Jesus who truly care. Do we care?

Comments by an Atheist

Do we really care that people are headed to hell? Here is an interesting video by atheist Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller. Here is a transcript of a portion of the video.

Penn says: If you believe there is a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell, or not get eternal life, and you think it is not really worth telling them this, because it would make it socially awkward ... 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?

Why is it that an atheist realizes the necessity of evangelizing more than most Christians? This should be a wake up call for all Christians.
