This is a lovely story for this time of year, which some of you may have seen already.
Praise the Lord!
No longer do these two verses apply to him...
Sure, the cynic might conclude that this man hasn't really changed and that this is just his attempt to infiltrate and attack Christianity from the inside as a wolf (Acts 20:29; Matthew 7:15). "O ye of little faith..." (Matthew 16:8).
I will always tend to lean toward the explanation that includes God's amazing grace.

Longtime Atheist Activist Announces Conversion To Christianity
Two months after he threatened to sue a Texas county for allowing a Nativity scene on public property, longtime atheist Patrick Greene has announced that he is not only converting to Christianity, but also plans to become a pastor, the Christian Post reports.
Greene, an Air Force veteran from San Antonio who has a history of activism related to atheist causes, threatened in February to file a lawsuit against Henderson County, Texas, if they did not remove a Nativity scene in front of the courthouse, Malakoff News reported.
But he was forced to drop the lawsuit after doctors told him that he had developed eye cataracts and was in danger of losing his vision, according to the Houston Chronicle. Shortly thereafter, Greene’s failing vision forced him to quit his job as a taxi driver and he was left with the challenge of supporting himself and his wife of 33 years.
That’s when Jessica Crye, a Christian woman who read about Greene’s troubles in the paper, went to members of her church and asked if they would be willing to donate money to help Greene. They ended up raising $400 in donations for Greene, which left him “flabbergasted that Christians would help atheists,” the Athens Review reported at the time.
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 14:1 (ESV) To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good.
Psalm 53:1 (ESV) To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
Sure, the cynic might conclude that this man hasn't really changed and that this is just his attempt to infiltrate and attack Christianity from the inside as a wolf (Acts 20:29; Matthew 7:15). "O ye of little faith..." (Matthew 16:8).
