God In the Radio
A newcomer to our church told me an amazing story this morning. She has been coming about four weeks now -- and for the first time, has experienced the love and grace of Jesus. It has been absolutely tranformational for her.
She has signed up for Alpha, and also is singing in our Easter choir!
She told me that last week, she shared about her lonliness with Deb, one of our parishoners. Deb asked her if she had ever listened to Christian radio. She hadn't. In fact, she had never listed to a Christian radio station in her whole life! Deb told her where she could find KDNW, on the dial.
When she went to her car, she turned on the radio. Amazingly -- Miraculously -- it was already on KDNW! She said that her radio has NEVER been on that station before. She said her car was locked, and she has NO idea how the dial ended up at 97.3.
"It scared me to death!" she admitted, "But it also made a believer out of me!"
We're going to light the faith candle for her next Sunday.

Remember Steve Rhodes???? His niece is now my little cousin. She got married yesterday and Steve was there. What fun to chat with him for a few minutes - - - I also posted a picture on my blog - - - -
ReplyDeleteHopefuly the young lady will not be disalusioned with the Chruch when she finds out that the Church does not hold all the answers to her lonliness . Every Chruch is not as good as it seems or as bad as it seems. In her endeaver to find help, hope and love in a new Chruch I pray that she will not be disapointed. If she is lonely my heart goes out to her,the Church needs to find how they can help her from being lonely. I have seen in the past where a new lonely person attends a Chruch and then finds that people are people and every one has faults. Hopefuly she can over look the faults and not take them as hers, and that she may keep her positive outlook for her new faith.
ReplyDeleteThe firm mature Christians in the Chruch need to make sure that her experance with Christ and the Chruch is a good one and try to make sure that she is not hurt and if she is, then they need to be there to hold her hand.
Every one needs to be loved!
Excellent insights there Walter. Thank you for your comments.
