The book of Genesis reveals that God intends marriage to be one man and one woman committed to one another in every way. Jesus also says in Matthew 7, “everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” If we want our families to be strong and able to withstand the storms of life, we have to construct them on the foundation of God’s Word. That’s why Faith Radio supports the Biblical design of marriage and airs programs that convey this truth.

And you think that kids would be worried about school shootings. But to them, that's kind of remote. They're much more worried about looking stupid, feeling rejected. I think most of us can remember the pain of going into the lunch room when your friend is absent from school and wondering, who can I sit by? Where am I going to sit? If I sit with these people, am I going to be rejected? Am I going to say something about a television show that I like and have everybody laugh and say, "Wow, I can't believe you still like that." That pain is very real and it's something they face every day.” - Navigating the Middle School Years, Focus on the Family, February 3, 2015 Faith Radio’s Ministry Magazine - April-July 2015 “...a man shall be joined to his wife...” - Genesis 2:24 3 Upcoming Faith Radio Events! • April 3, Fri.........................Good Friday • April 5, Sun.......................Resurrection Sunday • April 16, Thurs..................Casting Crowns, Frazer United Methodist Church in Montgomery - SOLD OUT • May 7, Thurs. ....................National Day of Prayer: events throughout the Faith Radio broadcast area • May 8, Fri..........................Family Faith Night with the Montgomery Biscuits and LoveCollide, Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery • June 19-20, Fri.-Sat .......Gridiron Men's Conference with Dr. David Jeremiah, Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex • June 26, Fri. .....................Family Faith Night with the Montgomery Biscuits and John Waller, Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery • Sept. 22, Tues..................Faith Radio Golf Tournament, Arrowhead Country Club in Montgomery For more information on any of these events, please visit www.faithradio.org or call (800) 239-8900. T Our Statement on MARRIAGE by Mark Williams, President, Faith Radio Board of Directors his summer, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to decide whether homosexual marriage is a right that is to be protected under the U.S. Constitution. For almost 250 years, the United States has recognized marriage as a legal union exclusively between a man and a woman. Many legal experts believe the Supreme Court will force this radical shift upon the country and that all 50 states will have to allow same sex couples to wed. For Christians, this decision may be the most important decision the high court has rendered since it was brought into being in September of 1789. The institution of marriage is viewed as the first institution established by God at the conclusion of creation. It was and always has been the only model God has accepted for marriage... one man and one woman. Since the beginning of recorded history, man has rebelled against God and his definition of marriage. No story in the Bible quite epitomizes this rebellion like what happened at the desert city of 4 “...a man shall be joined to his wife...” - Genesis 2:24 Faith Radio’s Ministry Magazine - April-July 2015 Faith Radio’s Ministry Magazine - April-July 2015 Sodom. At Sodom, almost the entire city had chosen to live a homosexual lifestyle. As a direct result of this, God destroyed the people and the city. There was never a more definite biblical statement about God’s feelings about the practice of homosexuality. Christians accept the Bible to be without error and consider the Bible to be God’s manual for living. So it is logical that Christians oppose homosexual marriage based upon the story of Sodom alone. God’s opposition to this lifestyle is so pronounced and so unequivocal that, for Christians, the issue is a settled matter where there is no middle ground. As we wait for the Supreme Court to rule this summer, there is no need to fret or cower from what we know is truth. We should make our voices heard and pray knowing that none of this catches God by surprise. At Faith Radio, we will persist in presenting the biblical arguments in favor of marriage that is exclusively heterosexual. We will also pray and trust God with the results. He knows the results and we can trust Him with them. “...a man shall be joined to his wife...” - Genesis 2:24 5 faces... Beth Birchfield, Alabama Baptist Missions Volunteer of the Year Shelly E.

Be sure and tune in for the “Life Changing” message of Jesus Christ, 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Please share with your family and friends! “...a man shall be joined to his wife...” - Genesis 2:24 7 Faith Radio is Devoted to Strengthening the Family A fe s we examine the landscape of the American family, we find a degradation taking place. An alarming number of couples marry and then divorce. Unmarried men and women live together and some have children. Then there are those who want to redefine marriage in a profoundly different way. If you are searching for clarity in the midst of confusion, start with God’s Word. In Genesis chapter 2, the institution of marriage is clearly defined in verse 24 which says, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (NKJV) This view of marriage was supported by Jesus according to Matthew chapter 19. The apostle Paul also wrote that marriage is between a husband and a wife and representative of the relationship between Christ and the church. There are certain principles that are important to remember as we consider the definition of marriage and family. For one thing, God’s definition of marriage is unchanged. The definition of marriage from a Christian worldview perspective is considered to be one man and one woman. On its website, Focus on the Family published a series called, Marriage: God’s Idea, in which writer Carol Hefferman quoted Gary Thomas, author of the book, Sacred Marriage. He is quoted as saying: • God created marriage as a loyal partnership between one man and one woman. • Marriage is the firmest foundation for building a family. • God designed sexual expression to help married couples build intimacy. • Marriage mirrors God's covenant relationship with His people. Thomas also says, "God did not create marriage just to give us a pleasant means of repopulating the world and providing a steady societal institution to raise children. He planted marriage among humans as yet another signpost pointing to His own eternal spiritual existence." Traditional Biblical marriage is an expression of the plan of God. Gay marriage is a severe misapplication of God’s truth. We stand against gay marriage because it is contrary to God’s plan. Gay marriage is an extension of homosexual behavior, which is characterized as sinful throughout the Scriptures. We must also remember to approach those who are a part of the gay lifestyle with the compassion of Christ, perhaps seeking to develop a channel through which we can speak truth always coated with the love of Jesus. Even though there is a greater acceptance of gay marriage, the spread of this counterfeit marriage can propel Christians to be more committed in our homes and reflect the glory of God. Certainly, in our culture, families look differently, but help for our homes is rooted in God’s Word. His truth teaches us how we are to relate to one another. But, we cannot expect His blessing if we are violating His principles. We need to recognize that God’s way is best, and we are called to align our lives with His truth. In an age where families are fractured and face unusual challenges, we can rely on God to provide the stability we need. Faith Radio offers insight and truth for families with Christ-centered programs such as Focus on the Family (weekdays at 8:30am), FamilyLife Today (weekdays at noon), and Intentional Living (weekdays at 3pm). We encourage you to tune in as you make God’s Word the authority for your home. by Bob Crittenden, host of The Meeting House Lifting my husband or wife in prayer Fill my spouse with love for You, that they would love You “with all their heart and all their soul and with all their mind” (Matthew 22:37) Cause him/her to delight in Your Word (Psalm 1:2) Give him/her understanding (Psalm 119:73) Equip my husband with strength and wisdom to lead, that he may be “strong and courageous,” and that he may be successful wherever he goes (Joshua 1:7) Continue to make her a wife of noble character, compassion, wisdom, diligence and skill to care for our home and family (Proverbs 31:10-29) fe Lifting my children in prayer Train my children to love deeply, sincerely and sacrificially, seeing and loving others as You do (1 Peter 1:22) Empower me to daily model Your love and compassion for them Compel them to pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17), so that they will live and walk by Your Spirit (Galatians 5:25) Help them to listen to You as Samuel did (1 Samuel 3:10) Help me to train my children according to the unique way You have designed each one (Proverbs 22:6, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 and Ephesians 2:10) by Mary Kirkland, host of FaithSongs listener testimony “Listening Made a World of Difference” Robin Wise can’t think of one single programmer she likes best on Faith Radio. That’s because she loves them all. “You might think 90.3 is just a radio station, but it’s a whole lot more to me,” Wise said. This Samson resident has been listening to Faith Radio for more than 10 years. She tells everyone she knows about it, including her adult children, who have also become listeners. “I stumbled across it (Faith Radio) years ago when I would wake up early and drive to a job in Dothan,” Wise said. “Listening made a world of difference in my life. It helped me grow in my knowledge of the Bible.” The first programmer she heard was David Jeremiah. “Once I started listening to Faith Radio, it was hard to go back to any other station, “she said. “When you stay away from the worldly music for a while, you realize how worldly it actually is.” She now enjoys the Christcentered music on Faith Radio and listens to several different programmers like Charles Stanley and Tony Evans. Wise said she believes Faith Radio keeps her on track spiritually. “I tell people all the time that God is working and speaking through Faith Radio,” she said, “but if you think God speaks through the radio, the devil does too.” Because Faith Radio has added so much to her life, Wise decided to give back financially to the ministry. “I get all this wonderful teaching and music for free and that is God blessing me, “she said. “I don’t have a lot but God has given me enough so I wanted to give back through Faith Radio. I know Faith Radio can reach so many more people than I can.” Robin Wise (second from the left) stands between her mom and dad with her son and daughter, their spouses and her grandchildren. This Samson, Alabama resident has been listening to Faith Radio for more than 10 years. She shares Faith Radio with others including her adult children. 10 “...a man shall be joined to his wife...” - Genesis 2:24 Faith Radio’s Ministry Magazine - April-July 2015 T Family Relationships: A Priority on The Meeting House his edition of the Faith Radio Ministry Magazine is devoted to providing a Biblical perspective on the family. Information, rooted in the Scriptures, to help strengthen our families is an essential component of the The Meeting House program. During the period of time following a federal judge’s ruling overturning Alabama’s marriage amendment and the issuing of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, The Meeting House brought you insight and commentary on the implications of those events. And, as the issue of so-called “gay marriage” is considered by the U.S. Supreme Court, I will continue to bring you relevant coverage of the developments. As believers in Christ, it’s important that we are encouraged in our marriages and recognize these relationships as covenants made before God. Marriages are facing a host of challenges today, and God’s Word and His Spirit provide the necessary direction and strength in order to live in our homes in a manner pleasing to Him. A number of guests on the program in 2015 have helped us do that. Speakers from various marriage conferences were on the program, including Jerry and Lynn Jones, Lou Priolo, and Doug Weiss. I was pleased to stand with these events and allow these quality speakers to share their perspective. Other guests such as authors Juana Mikels (Choosing Him All Over Again), Ruth Soukup Faith Radio’s Ministry Magazine - April-July 2015 by Bob Crittenden, host of The Meeting House Jim Daly of Focus on the Family (weekdays at 8:30am) visited with Bob Crittenden at the 2015 National Religious Broadcasters convention. Dennis Rainey of FamilyLife Today (weekdays at 12:00noon) stopped by the Faith Radio/ Meeting House booth at NRB 2015 for an interview. Mark Gregston of Parenting Today's Teens (Saturdays at 1:30pm) discussed his ministry at NRB 2015. (Living Well Spending Less), Kathi Lipp (Clutter Free), and Serena Miller (More Than Happy) brought Biblical perspectives to issues that affect families. Also, Rik Swartzwelder (movie: Old Fashioned) offered a view of relationships based on a Christian worldview. As we are committed to applying Biblical truth to our relationships, we will experience His presence in our homes and He can be glorified through us in our culture. “...a man shall be joined to his wife...” - Genesis 2:24 11 Gifts in Memory and in Honor of...
