There have always been many voices saying “This is the way to know God.” Today’s media explosion has created more voices and more confusion. Why then another? Our purpose is to share truth to help strengthen your relationship with God and with other believers in your locality.

Personal connection with other believers cannot be replaced by the mass media. It is much more satisfying to have a deep spiritual relationship with ten believers than to be in a crowd of ten thousand. Every individual is important to God, and His plan involves each one in a very real way. There are things that are important to God that can only take place in close personal relationships.

The goal of God is to build a family of His children together in love, walking in truth. Personal submission and obedience to Christ will bring conformity of each member to Christ, and a growing expression of the nature of God in a local gathering. The testimony going out to the world around will be as a “light set on a hill that cannot be hidden” and “the pillar and ground of the truth.”

Episode 35: How can the sin of adultery be forgiven?


One of the very big issues that the church has been increasing facing in recent years has been the question of adultery. There is great disagreement among many over what adultery is, what is necessary to be forgiven, and whether those involved in a broken relationship can be remarried. The scriptures have a lot to say about this subject. We dare not ignore the plain teaching and strong warnings, but rather face the matter honestly. Let us come humbly before God, believing that He is for us and His grace is sufficient in every way. Let us ask God for ears to hear what He has said to us with a heart to obey.
