Greetings, Fellow Saints.

This video hits the ground running and never stops. I have to credit WCCD, Cleveland, for not throwing us out of the studio this night. We are demolishing Christian teaching and hypocrisy on a Christian radio station. Honestly, I've never heard anything like it.  

The first order of business is the hardening of Pharaoh's heart. Then comes "Comment Corner," in which Your's Truly riffs to the tune of, "Pick Up The Pieces" by Average White Band. That song title is appropriate. So many Christian strongholds were shattered in 90 seconds that, at the end of this bit, no one is left on the fence. One can only love it or hate it. The topic of this particular riff is Christ dying for the irreverent. Christ never once save a reverent person. He ONLY saves the irreverent, as there are no other kinds of people.  

We get another call from RJ of Cleveland. RJ is beside himself about what he is hearing. He calls the show in an agitated state. (His agitation is palpable; you will hear it.) His precious system of belief is crumbling in real time, but he fights it every step of the way. I have to credit him for holding still during the beating. And yet, behind the harsh gravity of the Scriptural explanations, there is love, yes, love even for RJ. Or perhaps especially for RJ.  

After listening to this show, I wonder where RJ is today. I imagine him to be in the same Christian prison, for the bars of that institution are long and strong. Yet this man can be heard, during this show, to be rattling his cup across the bars. He wants something more but can't get out. God will not let him. Bottom line, RJ can't believe that what he's hearing is coming from the mouths of rank amateurs. You've got to hear it to believe it. His biggest beef is that 1 Corinthians is higher than the truths in Revelation. RJ can't get past that, since Revelation is the last book of the Bible, it simply MUST be God's last word to humanity. Of course, it isn't.

Rodney's choice of a 2019 "Return to Zender" video to tag at the end is perfect. It is called, "Christ in Our Faces." The truth is here, now, right in front of us. RJ saw it and turned away. But without God-given faith, it is impossible to see it.

Thank you Rodney for bringing this 25 year-old radio broadcast to life, and to my sister Kelly for getting it to you. Thanks, also, to my Grace Cafe radio mates, several of whom have defected from the faith. The truest one here is Charlie Cronk, and he is dead. But Charlie has a place among the celestials (upon resurrection) that will bring even the twenty-four elders to their knees. Within Charlie Cronk, on this show and every show and in his life, is a deep reverence for Christ the likes of which is rarely seen in this eon. I was blessed to call Charlie my friend and brother for twenty years.

Thanks to you, the viewers, for keeping this truth in front of the eyes and ears of modern seekers. God remembers your labor and your sacrifices—and so do I.

Yours from the Floridan peninsula,
