Presented by It Is Written Speaker/Director John Bradshaw.  MORE   "For 44 minutes we think we have all the time in the world — but five minutes later, it’s over! ...Think about it. All it will take in this country is a major crisis of crippling proportions — economic (a national financial collapse igniting urban violence and social meltdown), ecological (a killer quake or an errant asteroid with tens of thousands dead), political (a terrorist “dirty bomb” that destroys a city), military (a geopolitical misstep into World War III), etc. One debilitating crisis and this nation will be on her knees, led by religious leaders, pleading with God to withhold further judgments. Now factor in social research showing that when faced with a choice between personal security and constitutional liberties, people choose security first. One crippling crisis and suddenly the apocalyptic endgame of Revelation 13 and The Great Controversy, state-mandated false worship, is not only possible — it is probable! Martenson’s point — the last five minutes are critical. My point — you can get there from here. Rapidly."   — Dwight Nelson in his Commentary for the Adventist Review.Read the entire article.   REACH the world with Hope and Compassion   WGTS 91.9 listeners stepped up to sponsor kids and impact the lives of children around the world with a Compassion fund drive. By the end of the morning drive on Friday, listeners had sponsored a station record of more than 860 children, primarily in Haiti and South America. “When I think of my kids, I can’t imagine putting them to bed crying because their tummies hurt from hunger. When I think about what all our listeners did through Compassion the last couple days, I think about the parents who now have the assurance that their child won’t go to bed hungry tonight,” said General Manager Kevin Krueger. For more than 60 years Compassion has been working to release children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty. They work in 26 countries to empower today’s children to be tomorrow’s responsible and fulfilled adults.
