A few days ago I posted an article on “famed” atheist Richard Dawkins’ recent comments on the Christmas holiday and tradition. Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote on this today, and here is why I respect him so much:

The sight of an avowed atheist joining in the Christmas chorus is a bit hard to imagine. At the same time, there is something comforting about the idea that even the world’s most famous atheist will move his lips to the songs that celebrate Christ’s birth. Perhaps those words will move from his lips to his head and his heart. We should pray that it might be so.

Look at Dr. Mohler’s heart. He sees a man so lost in his unbelief of Jesus Christ our Lord and what is his reaction: compassion. I am humbled. Please join Dr. Mohler in praying for Dr. Dawkins and all those he has had an influence on.
