Another new adventure...

I have been blogging for a while now and I think this has prepared me for creating a 5 minute radio spot in our local town.  I have created over 350 audio podcasts mostly centering around devotionals from walking through books of the Bible.  It has been so beneficial to me.

 I was first just hoping to get on the local radio station to make more of a presence awareness of the church in this community but that turned into an opportunity to really tailor a program that we were in charge of and had great flexibility with.  We are calling the fast 5 minutes, "Down To The River" to play along that we are in the Illinois River Valley and also the water theme in the Bible.  It will air on Sunday mornings at 8:25 a.m. just following the weekend morning news.

 Will you pray with us as we try this venue that God has provided for us?  It will mean that I have to scale back in other areas to have the time to work on each broadcast and make it be a lead in to what is coming later at the worship service at the church.  It will also take coordinating others in the church with announcements about upcoming church supported events of outreach.  

 I am excited about it but also a little nervous.  I can see the faces in front of me on a Sunday morning but these I will have to imagine are there.  Here is the first broadcast to air on Sunday, September 11th.  Thanks again for your support of God using us.  Adam & Stephanie

 It looks like you have to click the little icon to watch in YouTube to listen to the audio file.

Connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life - Spurgeon

     I heard this phrase today along with another that if you connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life, it will end up effecting all of your life.  This came up in my study of the book of James and specifically the verses dealing with not just being a hearer of the Word but also be a doer of the Word.  It is all about application.  I can't look at preaching the Word without giving steps of applying the Word.  It really is an incomplete sermon if I don't.      Many times I think it has to be big and many points and given cute aliteration that makes it snappy and I think easy to remember and fun to write down.  Reality is, if I would make it a bit of Scripture connected to a bit of life and just that it would probably accomplish much more.  How much time I spend on the opening statement and lame joke and research and introductions and how many points and the closing statement and so little time on connecting the bit of Scripture to the bit of life.      So I guess I ha

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlier in  Ga

Sermon prep and maybe a video...

     James 4 has brought up some interesting study.  First, "the quarrels and fights among you."  Those are usually worse than you think even though we try to minimize them.  The source is simpler than you think because it is coming from within you.  The solution is easier than you think because the solution that James gives is that we need to humble ourselves before the Lord.  Any sincere resolution is specific and brief.  Beware of lengthy resolutions that usually include explaining it away or excusing some of the behavior.      As I have seen before, the words are a sign of the heart.  I read this week that if we have a critical heart we usually start by speaking evil of another to ourselves.  Then we progress to speaking evil of another to that person with a running tally in our heads of all their wrongs.  Finally, we speak evil of another to others and broadcast in a way that we are thinking that we are helping.  Giving judgment is always easier than giving mercy.  I
