ABOUT KINGDOM BOUND RADIO
MARK 10:15DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE "CHILDISH" AND "SIMPLE" LOOK AND PRESENTATION OF THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY ON PURPOSE.OUR HOPE IS TO ILLUSTRATE THE MANNER WITH WHICH GOD OFFERS US FORGIVENESS AND SALVATION THROUGH THE ATONING SACRIFICE OF HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST -- IF WE WILL ONLY BELIEVE AND DEMONSTRATE A SIMPLE ACT OF FAITH.IT IS THROUGH THE COMPLEXITY OF GOD'S INFINITE WISDOM THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A CHOICE THAT IS THE EPITOME OF SIMPLICITY. YET, AGAIN, ONLY IF WE WILL BELIEVE.AND SO A CHILDLIKE FAITH IS NECESSARY. THIS IS WHAT KINGDOM BOUND RADIO INTENDS TO REMIND THE WORLD ON A DAILY BASIS. YES, THE WORLD AROUND US MAY BE SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL, BUT THERE IS ONE WHO IS STILL IN CONTROL AND WHO HOLDS THE WORLD IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. LIKE A CHILD WHO TRUSTS THEIR FATHER TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM THROUGH THE STORMS OF LIFE, THAT IS HOW WE ARE TO ALWAYS APPROACH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.KINGDOM BOUND RADIO IS A BROADCASTING NETWORK OF RELIGIOUS PODCASTS AND PROGRAMMING SEEKING TO PROVIDE HOPE DURING THESE UNCERTAIN END TIMES; A HOPE THAT CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. OUR MISSION IS TO SHINE THE LIGHT OF TRUTH ON THE DARKNESS OF DECEIT WITHOUT LOSING SIGHT OF OUR FUTURE, WHICH WILL REMIND US THAT WE ARE KINGDOM BOUND FOR THY KINGDOM COME.LET'S LOOK AT THE VERSE AT THE BEGINNING MORE CLOSELY. NOTE THAT IN MARK 10:15 THE VERSE DOES NOT SAY WE ARE TO "BECOME LIKE A CHILD". INSTEAD, IT SAYS WE MUST "RECEIVE THE KINGDOM" LIKE A CHILD. INDEED, ELSEWHERE PAUL TELLS US WE ARE NOT TO BE LIKE CHILDREN IN SOME WAYS:EPHESIANS 4:14 - THAT WE HENCEFORTH BE NO MORE CHILDREN, TOSSED TO AND FRO, AND CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, BY THE SLEIGHT OF MEN, AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS, WHEREBY THEY LIE IN WAIT TO DECEIVE;SO, WHAT DO PAUL AND JESUS MEAN? HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE KINGDOM LIKE A CHILD, BUT THEN AVOID BEING LIKE CHILDREN IN PAUL'S SENSE?I BELIEVE THERE ARE 3 CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN THAT JESUS DESIRES IN US. THINK OF YOUNG CHILDREN. WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?-- THEY'RE BRUTALLY HONEST-- THEY TRUST COMPLETELY-- THEY HAVE A SENSE OF WONDERHOW DO THESE CHARACTERISTICS APPLY TO THE WAY WE RECEIVE THE KINGDOM?FIRST, WE NEED TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST WITH REGARD TO OUR SINFULNESS. SECOND, WE NEED TO TRUST JESUS COMPLETELY, AND BELIEVE HIM WITH THE SIMPLE FAITH OF A CHILD, KNOWING HE IS SO FAR ABOVE US THAT WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HIM FULLY, BUT THAT WE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON HIM. THIRD, WE NEED TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE WONDER OF HIS LOVE AND POWER . HE CREATED THIS WORLD AROUND US! HE CAN DO ANYTHING! HE CAME FOR YOU! HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR YOU!CHILDLIKE FAITH IS THE WONDER AND AWE AT WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID FOR US. IT IS A SYNERGY OF TRUST, HOPE, AND UNPRETENTIOUSNESS THAT KNOWS THE LORD LOVES US AND WILL LEAD US. BECAUSE OF OUR TRUST IN THE LORD, WE ARE MORE ABLE TO TAKE COMFORT IN HIM. CHILDLIKE FAITH SEES THE WORLD AS EXCITING AND ADVENTUROUS, AND WORTH PURSUING WITH OUR FAITH SO OPPORTUNITIES TO PLEASE GOD OVERRIDE OUR COMPLACENCY AND THE ATTITUDE OF "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT" -- EVEN THOUGH WE MAY HAVE. IT IS A PART OF US THAT WE SHOULD NEVER LOSE. IT ENABLES US TO MAINTAIN OUR HUMBLENESS AND ENTHUSIASM AND NOT BECOME JUST A SUBCULTURE OR ROUTINE. WE ARE NOT TO ACT LIKE CHILDREN TOWARDS OTHERS, BUT OUR FAITH AND EXAMPLE MUST BE AUTHENTIC [PSALM 23,131; MATTHEW 18:2-4, 34; JOHN 10:1-18; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:22-30; JAMES 2:14-19; HEBREWS 11:1].LACK OF CONFIDENCE, APPREHENSION, COMPLACENCY, AND TIMIDITY ARE THE OPPOSITES. THESE BAD CHARACTER TRAITS WILL SEIZE US WITH FEAR AND CAUSE US TO BLAME OTHERS FOR OUR LACK OF TRUST AS WE BECOME SELF-FOCUSED AND DISTRUSTING. IT IS BEING CHILDLIKE WITHOUT THE TRUST IN CHRIST. WE WILL FAIL TO SEE THE WONDERS IN THE OPPORTUNITIES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND GIFTS GOD HAS FOR US, AS ANIMOSITY BECOMES OUR DEFENSE FROM OUR FORTRESS OF TIMIDITY AND EXCUSES. WORSE, WE WILL BECOME SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE AND NEVER STEP UP AND STRIVE FOR MORE WAYS TO PLEASE GOD. NO, WE DON'T TRY TO "PLEASE GOD" BECAUSE WE THINK IT WILL EARN US FAVOR OR MAKE HIM LOVE US MORE -- BECAUSE IT WON'T. WE TRY TO "PLEASE GOD" BECAUSE OUR NEW HEART AND NEW MIND DESIRES TO LIVE OBEDIENTLY TO HIM AND HIS WORD. LIVING OBEDIENTLY PLEASES THE LORD.IN MATTHEW 18, JESUS POINTS OUT THAT FAITH IS A RESPONSIBILITY. CHILDLIKE FAITH IS NOT SO MUCH A CHARACTER TRAIT AS IT IS THE ESSENCE OF WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE BRING TO EVERYTHING WE STRIVE FOR IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.WE ARE TO EVALUATE WHO AND WHERE WE ARE BY HIS STANDARDS, NOT THE WORLD'S. WE NEED TO GIVE GOD THE ROOM TO WORK IN US AND IN OTHERS. REFUSING TO SEE HIS CALL, NOT LOVING OTHERS, AND BEING FULL OF PRIDE ARE TERRIBLE THINGS—NOT JUST FOR US, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE AROUND US. THIS CAN AND WILL DISTORT OUR THINKING AND DIRECT OUR ACTIONS TOWARD THE WRONG OBJECTIVE. CHILDLIKE FAITH ENCOURAGES HUMILITY AND HELPS US REALIZE WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST. WITHOUT HUMILITY, WE CANNOT COME TO THE LORD, BECAUSE WE WILL NEVER ADMIT OUR NEED, SURRENDER OUR WILL, OR BE ABLE TO GROW IN FAITH. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SERVE OTHERS BECAUSE WE WILL THINK THEY ARE UNWORTHY, JUST AS THE PEOPLE DID TOWARD THAT SOLDIER’S SERVANT IN MATTHEW 8:5-13. FAITH IS THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH WE BUILD OUR CHARACTER; IT SUPPORTS THE HOUSE WHERE THE SPIRIT CAN DWELL AND EMPOWER US. THIS IS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT GIVEN TO US AS WE GROW AND MATURE. IT COMES FROM BEING "CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON" [ROMANS 8:29]. FAITH AND OUR TRUST IN CHRIST WILL BE THE QUINTESSENTIAL ASPECTS OF APPLYING OBEDIENCE AND GROWTH IN OUR MATURITY AND CHARACTER. KINGDOM BOUND RADIO IS COMMITTED TO OFFERING DAILY PROGRAMMING THAT WILL NOT ONLY ENRICH YOUR LIFE WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, BUT THAT WHICH WILL ALSO EXPOSE THIS WORLD FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS. KBR WILL BE MORE "PERSONAL" THAN THE OTHER TWO PROGRAMS SINCE IT WILL NOT ONLY DOCUMENT MY OWN SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, BUT BECAUSE IT WILL ATTEMPT TO SPEAK TO THE CONSCIENCE AND TO THE HEART. I DO THIS NOT TO PUT ANY KIND OF SPOTLIGHT ON ME (IT'S NEVER ABOUT ME!), BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST STANDS TO GAIN SO MUCH WHEN THEY ARE UNITED IN REGULAR FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER. THAT'S WHY I ALSO HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER CALLING IN TO BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION.EPHESIANS 5:11 IN ADDITION, GIVEN THE PERSONAL NATURE OF THIS PODCAST, KBR WILL MOST LIKELY SERVE AS A "CLEARINGHOUSE" OF SORTS WHERE WE WILL ATTEMPT TO DOCUMENT ALL THE WAYS IN WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MOVING THROUGHOUT THE BODY OF CHRIST ON A MOMENT-BY-MOMENT, DAY-TO-DAY BASIS AS HE LEADS US. FROM TIME-TO-TIME THIS MAY INCLUDE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT END TIMES PROPHECY AND YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT SOME OF THE MATERIAL THAT SHOWS UP ON LOOK UP FELLOWSHIP. WHY? BECAUSE ONCE WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE HAND-WRITING ON THE WALL, THEN WE WILL BE MOTIVATED TO STRENGTHEN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, ENCOURAGED TO APPLY WHAT WE LEARN IN PURSUIT OF BECOMING MORE LIKE HIM, AND EMBOLDENED TO EVANGELIZE THE LOST WHILE WE STILL CAN.WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US REGULARLY, AND WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL USE THIS MINISTRY TO PLANT SEEDS OF FAITH THAT HE WILL GROW INTO SOMETHING TO BE USED FOR HIS GLORY.REMEMBER THAT IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST THEN YOU ARE KINGDOM BOUND FOR THY KINGDOM COME!
