I was wondering if anyone else here listens to any Christian Radio Programs, and if so, which ones?
Some programs I've listened to that have been very helpful to me over the years, in no particular order:
Abounding Grace, with Ed Taylor (my pastor's radio program, which is basically our Sunday sermons and Thursday bible studies, edited for your edification): http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/abounding_grace/
Grace to You, with John MacArthur. http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Grace_to_You/
Renewing Your Mind, with Dr. R.C. Sproul. http://www.ligonier.org/
Hope for Today, with Dr. Rick Ferguson. (Note: Dr. Ferguson has since passed away, but his broadcasts, along with those of interim speakers, and now the new pastor, continue on the radio) http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/
Thru the Bible, with Dr. J. Vernon McGee. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/thru_the_bible_with_jvernon_mcgee/
Truth for Life, with Alistair Begg. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/truth_for_life/
Truths that Transform, with Dr. D. James Kennedy. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/truths_that_transform/
Food for Your Soul, with Daryl Ferguson. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/food_for_your_soul/
The Connection, with Skip Heitzig. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/the_connection/
Hmm, I didn't start this thread wanting to host bandwidth for oneplace.com but I guess that's kinda what ended up happening. Anyway, it's a great site that archives the past 30 days of christian radio broadcasts, and I advise you all to check it out.
This isn't an exhaustive list of all of the radio ministries I've listened to, but I have found everyone of these helpful, and I highly recommend them. It seems like just when I thought I was done added programs, I thought of another one that had greatly influenced me, and I thought it unfair to leave anyone out. So yeah, sorry for the long post, but in a sense, these men and their sermons are my spiritual heritage, and they have made me who I am today in many respects. These men are all rock solid, in my estimation, when it comes to theology, and I trust them all implicitly because I have listened to them all for so long. That is not to say that we should listen to anyone uncritically when they open the Word of God, rather, we should all be Bereans.
I urge you guys to take advantage of the truly abounding grace that God has given us, listen to Christian radio in your cars and at work if you are able, and listen to archived broadcasts on the web if you need something to listen to while you post here.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says about the commandments of God (and by extension, the Word of God as a whole: 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
By the way, I would never advocate using these radio programs as a substitute for worshipping corporately in a church, the church is a means of God's grace in our lives that we ought not to neglect, for it is both the place we are ministered to, and the place where we can minister to others through our gifts.
