Our S tation
From Our L isteners-In
O UR best letter this month comes from a Presbyterian minister who sends us these encouraging words: “I want to tell you how much we enjoy KTBI, The Bible Institute of Los Angeles. We consider it the most im portant radio on the Pacific Coast. I have never heard anything from KTBI contrary to the, true Gospel, either in speech or song. KTBI is a great source of spiritual and educational values.” An Outline on John 19:30 B y D r . W ard 1st. We must conclude that His sacrifice .was perfect if His work was finished. 2nd. If His work was perfect, then His sacrifice needs no repetition. 3d. If His sacrifice was perfect, then no other ground is needed by the sinner for acceptance with God. 4th. If Christ, by His death, vanquished all our ene mies, we need not fear what they can do unto us. So we should lift up our hearts and rejoice in the finished work of our once crucified Lord, but now our risen and reigning Lord. At the beginning of His career He said, in answer to John the Baptist’s question: “It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness” ; and at the end He looked back and, know ing that He had done that, and had fulfilled it all, said: “It is finished.” It expresses His consciousness of having completed the revelation of God. He made known the Father, and the generations since have added nothing to His revelation. I N the incarnation of Christ, God was revealed to us. In the regeneration of the soul, God is.revealed in us. * * . * If we want to know the real worth of Christian faith, we must exercise it in the experiences which come to us. * * * A quiet but genuine committal of ourselves to God in all our ways, is the only,thing that will give us quiet and happy hearts amid the disappointments and difficulties of life. * * * Men usually think that they have overcome when they have won fame or become popular. A man may attain this, yet instead of being conqueror, he may be utterly enslaved. A man may amass a great fortune and say, “All is mine,” when it would be nearer the truth for him to admit that he is simply enslaved to what he has. Multi tudes who claim to be masters of their possessions, are merely mastered by them. — o — ' Heard Over th e Air
HE Radio Station conducted by the Bible Insti tute of Los Angeles, began its ninth year of service on the tenth day of this month, March, 1930. During the years of its activity, it has been one of the outstanding stations to broad cast strictly religious and Christian educational programs. In this work, all the members of the Institute’s faculty have taken part. Classes in Bible Doctrine, Syn thesis, and Missions have been broadcasted. A number of visiting pastors take part on the weekly programs. Many words of commendation are received, testifying to the educational and spiritual value of these services. Recently, a visiting pastor gave us the following bit of happy information: One of his members, knowing that he was to broadcast on a certain afternoon, invited some of her friends to her home to listen to her pastor over the air. He preached an evangelistic sermon and then gave the invitation to accept Christ as a personal Saviour. Afterwards he learned .that four of the people listening in, definitely accepted Christ as Saviour and Lord in that one home. Sacred music, both vocal and instrumental, adds much to the interest and spiritual quickening of the weekly prpgrams. Several hundred letters are on file which have been received during the past few months, indicating the great blessings which have come to those who listen in to our station. One writes: “The broadcasting from this station is like an oasis in the desert.” A mother writes: “My daughter has been sick for more than three years and unable to attend any religious service. She has re ceived much comfort and help listening to your station.” These letters, and many similar ones, lead us to thank God and take courage. —-o— Radio Correspondence Bible Class A GROWING interest is being manifested in a newly organized Radio. Bible study class, conducted each Friday morning at the 8:45 hour under the auspices of the Correspondence School Department of the Institute, and taught by Rev. Alan S. Pearce, secretary of the de partment. One of the regular correspondence courses, known as the Bible Beginners’ Course, is the basis of study. The course consists of ten lessons on some of the rudimentary truths of the Christian faith, such as Sin and Sinners, Salvation, Christ’s Atoning Work, Laws of Prayer, and The Spirit-Filled Life. A lesson a week will be covered in mos.t cases, but it will probably be necessary to give two weeks to some of the longer lessons. This class was begun the first Friday in March and will con tinue until the course is completed. Enrollments are being received from those who desire lesson material, the fee for which is $1.00. We invite you to listen in at this hour and become a member of this popular class.
