Witnessing: A Command Or A Choice?
(Transcript Of CD#69)

1.4 million people die each year, that is one person dying every 20 seconds around the clock.
1 million abortion are performed each year in the U.S.

At the time of the great Chicago fire(1871) that destroyed 4 square miles, the entire city rose in flames. The residences fled for shelter in the waters of Lake Michigan.

She had her head in her hands weeping hysterically wailing in uncontrollable sorrow.
Trying to comfort her, he said: “Young lady, young lady! Get a hold of yourself, you are safe now, the fire can’t reach you here. Listen to me young lady you are saved”!
Through her tears the young lady sobbed out this reply: “ yes I am saved, but I did not bring anybody with me”.
