Those People!
Driving to work, Michelle felt an unusual desire to listen to talk radio and happened upon something completely unique—a program called Bible Answers Live. She was intrigued. For her, an in-depth understanding of the Bible seemed unattainable. She began tuning in each morning …
Those Sabbath-Keepers
One day, however, she was shocked to hear Pastor Doug tell a caller that Saturday was the Sabbath. His answer immediately brought back an unpleasant memory of a health food store that was closed on Saturday when she had wanted to shop. The owner, a Christian, went to church on Saturday—something she thought was just plain wrong. When she realized Pastor Doug was one of those people, she quickly changed the station … but she just couldn’t stay away for long.
Several days later, a caller asked about the rapture, a subject Michelle had grown up worrying about. She’d even had her children watch the Left Behind series with her. Now Pastor Doug was saying that what she’d spent her entire life preoccupied with wasn’t true—any of it. Michelle was angered again. “How can he be saying this?” she fumed. “I’ve heard about the rapture all my life.”
That was it! She was done with Bible Answers Live and those Sabbath-keeping people.
Truth Breaks Through
But a week later, there was that same persistent nudge to tune in. The topic that day was the Sabbath—again. But this time, Pastor Doug explained it in the context of Christ’s death—how His followers hurried to put His body in the tomb before the Sabbath began and how they all rested on Saturday. Jesus too!
“Bells went off in my head—ding-ding-ding!” Michelle says. “Saturday really is the Sabbath, the day of rest and worship! It was as clear as could be.”
She adds, “Looking back, I know that God had His hand in this. I’m thankful God chose Pastor Doug to be the one teaching. His approach makes it easy to listen and learn.”
Today, Michelle knows how important it is to spread the message of the true Sabbath and the Second Coming. “I’ve been fooled most of my life, but I’m no longer blind. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” she shares. “I am now one of those people, and I couldn’t be happier!”
Thank you for helping put Bible Answers Live on the air to reach Michelle and so many others for the eternal kingdom!
