When it comes to addressing cultural issues from a Biblical perspective, there are a number of avenues at our disposal as followers of Christ. We can certainly be prayerful. And vocal. Using our voices to influence hearts and minds so that people might open their eyes to the truth of Scripture. We can even pray for and petition our leaders - and select leaders who support policies that would be be...  Read More

There is disturbing news out the U.K. regarding thousands of women and girls who have been the victims of unspeakable acts.  The ties to radical Islam are unmistakable. The means to the Islamist end is far different than the furtherance of the Christian gospel and the adherence to the Great Commission, predicated on the love of our Savior, who died for us.  While we are called to love all, we must...  Read More

In the midst of despair, there is hope for those who have become victims of this sinful practice of human trafficking, an expression of desires that have not been brought to the cross and put to death. Therefore, this culture of disregard and disrespect continues to build victims and leaving a trail of broken lives.  We can praise God for those instances of rescues and realize that while sin has i...  Read More

The World Cup presents a ministry opportunity to those who will attend from various countries, and a selected number of players themselves see it as a platform through which they can testify to the presence of Christ within them. 1st Corinthians 10:31 (ESV) states: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” ...  Read More

God has made it possible for us to have a relationship with Him through our acceptance of His one and only Son as the Savior of our lives. We can come to Him, we can know His presence, and we can experience the community of believers who have also made that profession of faith in Him. In an era in which there is widespread loneliness and isolation, God tells us that He will be with us. ...  Read More

We can be careful to make sure that we dedicate ourselves to the Lord and to what is important, according to His principles. We can consider ourselves stewards to the days that God has given to us, that we might be about the business of the Kingdom; as Jesus said, His “Father’s business.”...  Read More

It’s been some 10 years since the Obama administration issued a “Dear Colleague” letter to protect the so-called “rights” of transgender students in public schools.  It opened the floodgates to all sorts of damaging ideas with regard to sexuality, launching a permissive culture in which students could explore these ideas.  It’s going to take some time to excise this ideology from various sectors o...  Read More

We should be very careful to make sure that we are acting like who we say we are:  in other words, if we claim the name “Christian” or “Christ-follower,” our actions and our words should reflect Christ.  We are His representatives, and the way we behave should draw people to Him. ...  Read More

No matter what occupation or what platform to which God has called us, we can be careful to give glory to Him.  We should always take care to preserve our sense of dedication to Him, and realize that every day, in the words we speak and the actions we take, that we are placed in a position through which He should receive the glory. ...  Read More

The Bible teaches us not only about our individual prayer life, as well call upon and commune with God, but it also provides direction on corporate prayer.  Jesus spoke about two or more coming together to agree together.  And, the people who are closest to us, our families, can be incredible prayer partners for us, and we can recognize how God has placed them in our lives.  ...  Read More

It seems that so many in our society, in positions of authority, don’t understand that people of faith should be treated fairly, not excluded from programs just because they are faith-based, because of a phony fear of violating the so-called “separation of church and state.”  A Biblical faith perspective should always be a net positive, not a disqualifying negative.  ...  Read More

There have been numerous attempts in a variety of states to protect life.  And, last year, there was a measure built into a large piece of legislation that would prevent federal funding of the nation’s largest abortion provider - for one year.  That’s a far shorter period of time than pro-life advocates would have liked, but it was a small step forward.A step that had an expiration date of July 4,...  Read More

Where there is trouble, where the Church has been suffered persecution, where God’s people have encountered isolation and despair, we have seen instances in which the Lord is moving to bring people to Himself.That includes the Middle East....  Read More

As over a hundred thousand people filed into Kyle Field at Texas A&M recently, a man said this on the PA system, according to Movieguide: “…I pray that the people walking in who feel lost and alone, that they might find community and that they might experience for themselves the soul-satisfying peace that only comes through knowing in Jesus Christ.”...  Read More

The Bible directs us to seek and exercise Godly wisdom, and leads us to its source.  Now, there is certainly a fascination these days with this “shiny object” called artificial intelligence, which is ultimately a creation of human wisdom, the wisdom of this world, that has grown in popularity.  But, there is a cautionary aspect of these technological entities....  Read More

The Southern Baptist Convention meets in Orlando next week, representing millions of Christians across America and around the world.  Throughout the nation and around the world, God’s people are making their mark. In the lives of individuals, through various churches, church organizations, and ministry efforts, the Spirit of God is working through His people to mobilize them for the sake of the go...  Read More

We have been called to honor God in all that we say, think, or do, and we should live our lives according to His principles.  Our faithfulness as believers can spill out into the culture at large.  The light of truth is a powerful force and when the light is shone, blinders can be removed from eyes and clarity can be found. ...  Read More

This year, the Tennessee Legislature passed, and Governor Bill Lee signed, a resolution declaring June to be “Nuclear Family Month.”  A CBN article quotes co-sponsor, Rep. Bud Hulsey, who “defines the nuclear family as ‘one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children’ and declares it ‘God's design for familial structure.’"...  Read More

When we as a society reject His ways, it results in uncertainty and insecurity.  When you open the door to special privileges based on the fallacy of “gender identity,” it leads to confusing circumstances like we’re seeing in California. ...  Read More

There are so many things that we encounter, perhaps even on a daily basis, that are unexplained. When confronted with the mysteries of the universe, we might seek an explanation, but find ourselves incapable or insufficient of truly being able to derive an answer. But, in some instances, we can rely on Biblical truth to help us to reason with the mysteries of life. ...  Read More

As students close out the most recent school year, it is a good time to consider the influences on young hearts and minds that prey on this generation, bringing thoughts and ideas to bear that are toxic to them, ideas that are born out of a worldview that is contrary to Scripture, ideas that cut to the heart of basic principles for the structure and betterment of society. ...  Read More

The former President Theodore Roosevelt, said this in 1903: “In the Grand Canyon, Arizona has a natural wonder which is in kind absolutely unparalleled throughout the rest of the world,” adding, “I shall not attempt to describe it, because I cannot. I could not choose words that would convey or that could convey to any outsider what that canyon is.” ...  Read More

Memorial Day is full of incredible stories of humans who laid down their lives. We remember Jesus said in John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” ...  Read More

The institution of marriage, which dates back to the first man and woman on this earth, is an essential building block for a society and an example of the love that our Savior has for His bride, the Church.  God provides the resources for marriages to last, to be strong, and to reflect His presence.   In Ephesians 5 (ESV), Paul includes a quote from the book of Genesis, and writes:31 “Therefore a ...  Read More

When we see injustice around us, as believers in Christ, how should we respond?  When there are gross offenses against human life and there are behaviors that violate Scripture, is the loving thing to do to just say, “it’s gonna be OK,” or is the truly loving thing to actually tell the truth?  We should always strive to be truth tellers and we should be willing to call out sin and injustice where ...  Read More

When confronted by the ills of a culture that needs to know God, we can consider how God has directed and empowered us to respond.  That may involve speaking truth in challenging circumstances.  There may be an opportunity presented to us and we find ourselves anxious or fearful - but, we know that the Holy Spirit gives us the boldness and confidence to do what God has led us to do: what He appoin...  Read More

Around the world, people are living in despair, believing they are trapped in their current circumstances.  They are without hope - true hope that comes from Jesus Christ.  Knowing and believing the truth about Him can bring hope into the heart of the person who looks to Jesus.  That hope will produce a faith that, even though circumstances may not change, they can know that the Lord is with them....  Read More

The Church, and those associated with it, are locked into a battle for the hearts and minds of people around the world - and attempting to leave an indelible imprint on the next generation.  We must be careful to make sure that we are assertively - and accurately - presenting the truth of the gospel.  And, make sure that we are rejecting unbiblical ideas that could derail us in our walk.  The Bibl...  Read More

We can recognize that all are invited to come and be part of this wonderful living entity, the organism known as the Church.  Jesus died for all and His Holy Spirit is drawing people to Himself.  In this day, we see people with a hunger for God who are responding to Him and finding salvation for their souls.  He became like us so that by accepting Jesus as our Savior and surrendering to Him, we ca...  Read More

As the celebration builds regarding the rich history of our nation and people of faith are celebrating its founding principles that originate with Scripture, there are those that have different ideas.  And, some of those ideas have consequences that the Founders would have not intended.  Our nation was founded on certain freedoms and the opposition to tyrannical leadership.  And, there is a discer...  Read More

When people in authority acknowledge the hand of Almighty God and embrace His principles, it is something worth noting.  Even if their lives may not have exemplified an adherence to Christian principles.  We can be careful to pray for our leaders and pray that they will exercise Godly wisdom.  And, we can continue to give attention to the hand of God as He works in and among the nations.  In 2nd C...  Read More

I remember telling my mother as she entered into her later years, even into her 90's, that God wasn't finished with her.  She spent quite a few years unable to walk without assistance, and certainly was not that mobile.  But, she could speak and do what she did for years: she was an encourager.   She did spend time working on a church staff, but the majority of her "ministry" was through her inter...  Read More

Throughout the Scriptures, we can see instances of the practice of God's Word being read publicly.  I think of the dedication of the walls of Jerusalem in Nehemiah 8, where we read (ESV):1 And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the Lord had commanded Israel.2 So Ezra the priest brought t...  Read More

It is the 2026 National Day of Prayer, and this year's theme is: Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations."  The theme Scripture is from 1 Chronicles 16:24, which says, in the New American Standard: "Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples."Following the completion of the Temple in Jerusalem, as well as his own house, the people of Israel...  Read More

Too often, we see Americans demonstrably divided about a number of issues.  In some cases, I admit, rightfully so, people, including Christians, take positions that are in accordance with Biblical truth, and that will result in disagreement.  But, when anger and rage take over, when people protest, as it seems, just for the sake of protesting, perhaps even when a financial benefit is present, it b...  Read More

The Bible instructs us to be people of integrity, who can be trusted.  We can make sure that we can be relied upon to tell the truth, building a commitment to honesty in our hearts and minds.  By so doing, we align ourselves with the One who said that He is the way, the TRUTH, and the life.  Proverbs 11 (ESV) states:3 The integrity of the upright guides them,    but the crookedness of the treacher...  Read More

We have been called by God into a relationship with Jesus Christ and through that relationship, we can testify to His love for us and His greatness expressed through us. So, whatever He calls us to do, He gives us the power and will place us in locations so that we can express our love for Him and share it with a dying world.  The apostle Paul wrote in 2nd Timothy chapter 1 (ESV):7 for God gave us...  Read More

Can you feel it? Can you sense it?  There is something going on in America.  One could certainly say it's not all good, and I agree with that.  But, in the midst of what seems at times to be a massive battle between good and evil, when evil seems to be pervasive and good is sometimes overwhelmed, the Spirit of God is moving upon the hearts of people.  In the times of the apostle Paul, he wrote to ...  Read More

You certainly can't believe everything you see or read these days.  That's why Faith Radio desires to be a trusted source of Biblical truth and information approached from a Biblical worldview perspective.  Gifted Bible teachers each day on Faith Radio open the Word of God to proclaim this truth.  Because powerful forces are present to push agendas that don't line up with Scripture.  And, we have ...  Read More

The Israelites entered the Promised Land, and proceeded by and large to do the will of God, to establish themselves in the place that God had ordained for them.  They exercised faithfulness and experienced the provision of the Lord.  But, things changed quickly, according to Judges 2 (ESV), which states:7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who out...  Read More
