Christian Radio For Life

God’s word tells us in Philippians to think of things that are “true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, wonderful, excellent, and praiseworthy.” These words barely describe radio (or television) today. A quick look at the moral wasteland that is radio today reveals that it is not a place that can be described in any of the aforementioned terms. I don’t think Jesus listens to most of what is broadcast today.

There is one exception: Christian radio. Christian Radio offers the perfect safe haven on the radio dial for you and your family. Christian radio has developed over the last decade to include various formats. No matter what your favorite style of music is, there is a Christian radio station that plays it.

My teenage daughter enjoys hard rock and even Hip Hop. Fortunately she doesn’t have to listen to secular radio to hear this kind of music. She listens online to a station that plays a Christian version of this music. The sound is the same: the lyrics are Christian, they promote Christian values ​​and they give me and my wife peace of mind. (Teenagers need to hear encouragement. It’s hard enough being a teenager and staying pure without the constant barrage modern society throws at you.)

My wife enjoys praise and worship. She is a fan of Chris Tomlin and Rita Springer. I enjoy coming home and hearing her sing her favorite songs, like “Holy is The Lord.” It is a blessing to know that her mind is thinking of this that you are “praiseworthy.” I can’t imagine coming home and hearing her sing a “Somebody Wrong Somebody” song with Willie and Waylon and the Boys. Oh!

I like everything. I enjoy Christian radio in all formats. I like Christian Rock bands like Reliant K and Switchfoot. I like to sing with the David Crowder Band and DecembeRadio. I’ve learned a lot from Christian radio with shows like “Point of View,” “Parent Talk On-Call,” and “Focus on the Family.” I especially enjoy southern gospel music and groups like the Crabb Family, Ernie Haase, and Signature Sound and the Perrys.

The next time you get in your car and turn on the radio, listen to what you’re listening to, really listen. Where is it taking you? Does it help you to think about things that are true and pure? Do the lyrics and commercials make you think of things that are honorable and correct? Does the announcer say things that are excellent and praiseworthy? If not, you need to find a good Christian radio station and stay there.
