My wife and I, along with many friends, were in attendance last night for the celebration of KNDR’s 30th year in broadcasting. We got to hear a little bit of background on its beginnings from the daughter of one of the stations founders, and the “main attraction” was a sermon on the servant-oriented Christian life by Dr. David Jeremiah, a visiting preacher who is featured on the station (and hundreds of other stations as well).

The attendance numbered almost double the last Civic Center event I attended, so I think support was very good. The station is also trying to secure funding for the next broadcast year, so it was also a call for support.

The message I got last night is that Christians aren’t supposed to get tunnel vision between home and the church building. It was a good reminder, and hit me right between the eyes considering where I’m at right now. Our church has community evangelism ministries, in which I have not been taking part lately. There are always folks in need and it’s so easy for us to focus on our own immediate concerns. I’m going to try to do better in meeting others with the Gospel ready to share.

In a somewhat related note, on Sunday I added a new mini-feature to this site, the Bible Verse of the Week. You’ll see it in the menu on the right-hand side of this site. That is, of course, unless you read these posts on a site that syndicates my blog…in which case, you need to come directly to the source!
