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 38 Waiting on God


The world rushes madly on, pressing us to keep up with the demands of modern life. We want instant food, instant solutions, instant success, and of course with all of that, instant spirituality. We know there is no such thing, and we know that “those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” But what does it really mean to wait on God, and why is it so important? In the New Covenant, everything is built around an expanding revelation of Jesus Christ. For Christ to be revealed to us, in us, and through us, we must learn to wait on God. No matter how much life pushes us, we must not allow this intimate place with God to be pushed aside if we are going to finish the race triumphantly. Today we want to be encouraged in this all important discipline of life.
