"I was addicted to crack. I turned on the radio,
and mistakenly heard Billy Graham on the
radio," says Carmina, referring to "The Hour of
Decision" program. "You were talking about how
God can save your life and that I wasn't alone.
God understands. Jesus died for our sins. I
believe that. I thank Jesus for your broadcast."

Still was the night, Serene and Bright,
     when all Men sleeping lay Calm was the
season, and carnal reason      thought so
'twould last for ay. Soul, take thine ease, let
sorrow cease,      much good thou hast in store
This was their Song, their Cups among,      the
Evening before. . . . For at midnight brake forth
a Light,      which turn'd the night to day,
And speedily an hideous cry      did all the
world dismay. Sinners awake, their hearts do
ake,      trembling their loynes surprizeth
Amaz'd with fear, by what they hear,      each
one of them ariseth.
Wigglesworth, Day of Doom

Edwards, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as
one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over
the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked
his wrath towards you burns like fire.
