Christian Living

Each day we should strive to grow closer to Christ and to conform our lives to Him. To assist in this daily process of growth (called Sanctification), we present here a number of resources to help you in your walk with Christ.

As we find new items to help you in living and growing as a Christian we will add them here. So, check back often.

Music
For most people music is integral part of everyday life. We wake up to it, listen to it in our cars on the way to and from work or school, in the office, while jogging or working out, even fall asleep to it at the end of the day. Christian parents, and teens alike, often struggle though with the lyrics of today's music. The words frequently promote self-centered immoral behavior and disrespect for authority. Because we like the tune or the "sound" of pop/rock/rap etc. music we often choose to "ignore" the words. But we can't really ignore them. They're being stored in our conscious and subconscious memory. Most of us can't remember something we read 5 or 10 years ago, but when we hear a familiar tune from years ago suddenly those long "forgotten" lyrics pop back up in our minds.

There is an alternative. Contemporary Christian music offers a wide variety of musical styles - comparable in quality and talent - but with lyrics that are edifying to Christian growth, faith, and values. We've provided some samples here of the styles of music available from many of today's Christian music artists. Give a listen, and if you find something you like why not pick up a copy of the CD at your neighborhood Christian bookstore or web store (such as Spree or Amazon).

Radio
Christ centered, Bible-based, theologically sound, uplifting, inspirational, are only some of the words that describe the programs availableWorldwide on AM 850 KFUO.
