Bulletin Board

         I'm going to try something new here, short posts every once in a while, kept up only for a day. The first one is a reminder of refnet.fm 24-hour Internet radio. When I was born again in the early 80s I immediately began to devour Christian literature and amassed a few hundred books over the first ten years. Only a small percentage of those books could be considered doctrinally sound but I had no way to discern what was good...nothing to compare it to. I happened across a book with a George Whitefield logo on the spine....a robed preacher holding up a Bible. After reading it I looked for other books from the same publisher, Banner Of Truth. I now knew that there was something drastically different from yesterday's Christian literature and today's. Eventually I called a man who also published books of this nature and asked him where I could go to church where I would hear this.....Gospel. I took his advice.
          All I am trying to do here is shorten your search, if you are indeed searching. Refnet.fm is a radio collection of various Christian ministries, primarily those of Ligonier Ministries and R. C. Sproul. From what I have seen of their radio schedule you cannot go wrong. Listen to a few teaching programs from R. C. Sproul and you will also know that their is something drastically different from what you may have become accustomed to. There are indeed excellent Christian books written today as their are excellent radio ministries like Sproul's Renewing Your Mind but somewhere along the line a new believer in Jesus Christ must get a grasp on what is sound Christian teaching and literature....and what is not.
