In this crisis many people are returning to their churches in search of peace and comfort. Some religious leaders claim that God is displeased with the United States and have found themselves branded as religious fanatics. Is there a message from God to all peoples in the midst of all this suffering and uncertainty? A Good News radio broadcast by Gary Petty None of us will ever forget where we were on Sept. 11, 2001. In a few hours we saw the world in which we live change forever. We watched unbelievingly, on live television, pictures of hijacked commercial airliners slamming into the towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Over the weeks since then we have remained transfixed before our televisions and radios listening to heart-wrenching stories of people searching for missing loved ones and experiencing mixed emotions as U.S. warplanes bomb Afghanistan. Many Christians wonder, "Is this the beginning of end-time events written about in the Bible?" In the days that followed the attacks, Americans struggled with the numbness of a nightmare that just would not go away. On Sept. 14, interdenominational religious services were conducted in the U.S. National Cathedral. Religious leaders spoke of hope and God's love. The comfort was encouraging and many felt it was exactly what the nation needed. But is comfort God's only message to this nation in this time of crisis? We will begin our search to answer this question by looking at a message God gave to an ancient people who were suffering internal social and moral difficulties and external strife much like our nation today.
