In his book, Seven Signs of the End Times, Mark Hitchcock shares the following: "I heard a story recently about two pastors standing near the side of a road holding up a sign that read, 'The end is near! Turn yourself around now before it's too late!'
"As the first driver sped by, he hollered, 'Leave us alone, you religious nuts!'
"From around the curve they heard screeching tires and a big crash. One pastor turned to the other and said, 'Maybe we should just put up a sign that says, Bridge Out Ahead.'"
And as Hitchcock added, "It does appear to me, as I read the signs in our world today that the bridge is out." Because of this, it is imperative that we let people know that they need to turn around and receive God's forgiveness before it is too late.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer so eloquently stated it: "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act." May God deliver us from "our guilty silence."
