News: Harold Camping's Family Radio in financial trouble
The hosts discuss a news story that Harold Camping's Family Radio network is struggling after his failed end-of-the-world predictions: assets dropped over $105 million in under five years despite $85 million in donations, and donations fell nearly 70% after May 21, 2011. They note that about 30% still donate, call Camping a false prophet per Deuteronomy's test, and discuss why date-setting contradicts Jesus' instruction, why people want to know the date so they don't have to stay ready, and pray he comes to know Jesus.
