Evel Knievel” died this week. Christianity Today ran an article last spring called “Evel Overcome with Good” about his conversion to Christianity.

I’m not a fan of the Crystal Cathedral or all of Robert Schuller’s views. However, this video is worth watching. A powerful testimony that the power of Jesus to change lives is real. This is a real encouragement for those who have lived as rugged individualists all their lives and understand at the end, that it’s so empty. Knievel says it feels that way because only the living God can fill us. I think he’s touched on something profound and important about being human. I only wish more people experienced being reconciled to God like “Evel Knievel” did, while they still have time. Knievel was only 7 months away from his death when he surrendered his life to God.
