People are... mad. They’re holding tax protest tea parties and talking of a new American revolution.
People are... wondering what all this means. They’re wondering if there is any hope.
We know we have the answer to that question. Yes, there is hope. And that hope is Jesus.
If you’re like me, you’re probably getting dozens of emails a week with alarming subject matter. I’ll admit some of the emails do cause great concern. The increasing hatred shown for the Jewish people and Israel, for example.
Is it time to head for the hills? Stockpile canned goods, guns and gold? Maybe, maybe not. But with so many evangelistic opportunities before us, there are compelling reasons for Gospel Spots to increase our efforts, not hunker down.
Cable TV companies are hurting for business right now. They love to take our calls to place Gospel Spots on their cable channels. But... if that should change and they tell us our messages are “too controversial” or they can no longer accept them...
Billboard companies are still willingly putting up our evangelistic messages. (See the picture of the billboard that just went up on a heavily traveled road in Palm Springs.) But when the billboard companies begin to refuse our business...
Radio stations all over America have many open and unsold commercial slots. They’re happy to take our money right now and play 60 seconds of evangelistic Scriptures. However, if the day should come when they tell us that new FCC rules don’t allow them to accept our advertising dollars or Euros, or whatever, then... maybe then ... but right now...
The fields are “white unto harvest”.
We would like to INCREASE our efforts during this time.
Will you help us?

I appreciate your zeal for evangelism and hope you're able to take advantage of the opportunities you mentioned in your post. However, like so many christians, you make the issue of preparedness sound like an either-or proposition. Either a person is crazy and preparing for disaster, or they've got their hope in the Lord. (By the way, I'm a believer myself, so this isn't an antiChristian rant.) How about both? Hebrews 11 notes that Noah had fear, but was moved by faith. Preparing for whatever might come down the pike in this world is a wise thing to do, and doesn't mean a person isn't trusting in the Lord. Those who preach Jesus' words from Matthew 6 still go out and buy groceries. Is that a lack of faith? That's a rhetorical question, and I trust you know the answer. I would add that it's important that Christians be discerning and recognize what threats we should be preparing for in this present world.
