you open it, he collapses, when he sees you reading it, he loses his
strength, AND when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can’t hurt you!
Here is the text of my Page 46 Commentary for the May/June issue of
Christian Radio Guide. I thought I should share it with you. So Fill
up the cup and enjoy the read.

Since we started Christian Radio Guide we have had one focus to
provide you with information that you could use to help your Radio
Ministry. We’ve discussed management issues, programming ideas,
outreach promotions, ways to enhance your stations financial situation
and more.
Let me take a moment to Thank You for your feedback that is helping
shape this publication, our ministry to you.
Not Staying True to His Message
In our very first issue’s Programming Column, God led me to write
about the importance of staying true to the Salvation Message. To keep
our eye on the ball. To put on blinders that would keep us focused on
what is important.
Sadly we have recently seen how not doing that has caused one alleged
Radio Ministry to mislead Billions of people. Yes, Billions!
I’m not speaking of the millions that listened to Harold Camping on
Family Radio, I’m speaking about the Billions of people that watched
Camping’s folly – his great deception – play out in media around the
world.
But there is a tragedy here far greater than the embarrassment of the
mainstream Christian community.
The True Tragedy
For those with fragile faith this could be the tipping point for them
to walk away, now believing that Christianity is a folly, a farce, a
heap of lies.
Those who have not yet come to know Our Lord and Jesus as their
personal Lord and Savior have been handed another rationalization to
walk away when approached. After all, “Who wants to throw in with a
cult, a bunch of wackos like that? Certainly not a rational human
being, certainly not me.”, they may say to themselves.
So their walls will be up, the salvation message, the seed, will fall
on deaf ears. I’m reminded of the parable of the sower in Mark Chapter
4.
A Lot of Work Needed
Clearly the situation has shown us that there is a lot of work to be
done. But, where do we start?
Perhaps we begin with prayerful reflection. Seriously looking at the
programming we provide. God has a message for us in the “Dooms Day
Deception”.
Does your station air programs that focus attention on End Time
predictions, programs that discuss how we are in the end times or the
end times are near? Consider the impact those programs have not only
on your main Christian audience, but also on those who may not have
yet heard or grasped the Salvation Message,.
There is a good chance that those programs will cause people, who do
not have a relationship with Christ, to tune out. Is that what you
want your Ministry to accomplish – to turn away those seeking a
relationship with Jesus? I don’t believe that for a minute.
Getting Caught Up on the Side of The Path
It is easy for us to get caught up in the frenzy, “Hurry to be saved
or you will be damned to Hell.” While that is a true statement on the
surface, factually is isn’t accurate. The Holy Spirit doesn’t always
work in a hurry, for many there is a long process that takes place as
they come to that turning point in their life where they accept Christ
as their Savior and develop a deep relationship with Him that will
last a lifetime.
Jesus speaks directly of those who hurry to faith. Again my reference
to Mark Chapter 4 this time verses 5 and 6 and again in verses 16 and
17.
I humbly submit this premise for your prayerful consideration. At the
end of the day the only thing that matters is focus on the Salvation
Message and God’s love for us leading to acceptance of Jesus as our
Lord and Savior. End Time programs and speculation deflect our
listener’s focus from this.
Consider the possibility that Christ speaking about no one knowing
when the end would come, was also speaking about our life here on
earth. Physiologically we are all in the end time, from the time of
our birth. No one knows when or how, but we will die and if a fringe
program causes someone not to have the opportunity to know Christ as
their Savior, the great deceiver really has done its work and used our
ministry – as it did Camping’s – as its the tool.
being blamed for at least nine deaths in less than 24 hours. A
tornado Arkansas killed at least two people and left widespread damage
shortly after midnight, local time. Tornadoes also killed at least
seven people in Oklahoma and Kansas yesterday. The latest round of
tornadoes comes after a monster twister destroyed more than a third of
the buildings in Joplin, Missouri Sunday. At least 124 people were
killed, hundreds more were injured and around 15-hundred remain
missing.
