I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)He that hath the Son hath Life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life. (1John 5:12) Why are so many things, many characterized as terrible things, happening here...

Thank you for making FM 104.5 possible. For over 35 years WBVN has broadcast the Gospel. Our purpose in starting the ministry (January 8th, 1990) was to make a difference in believers' lives and make a difference in the communities with our broadcast and concerts....

Oh boy, we’re getting pretty deep into the thing.  The ‘thing’ I’m referring to is Life.   Like, every day is so confrontational. No more ‘fence sitting’ allowed. Not much gray area left.  More and more it seems we’re coming face to face with things that challenge our...

Disclaimer: I’m not a scientist! Therefore, this is not an expansive letter about Evolution/Creation: not qualified! So this is my (and I think Moses’: the Moses that authored Genesis) opinion of ‘In the beginning’. I’m someone that believes the Spirit can guide us...

I sometimes tease family that I have many stories.  Some stories I’ve never shared with people.  Mostly those stories have names.  By that I mean people’s names.  I guess maybe 8 or 10 stories like that.  Each is a blessing story.  Each a life altering story. My life...

“…the church executes that power which it hath received of God most carefully and faithfully, to the end that it may serve God, that it may be holy, and that it may please him. And that I may reckon up some of her duties specially: first of all it worships, calls...

I'm writing this as we get ready for our Celebration.  While preparing, it always dawns on me what a serious thing we do during those three days and at the same time how much we tease one another while on air.   We’re all aware that many important things happen during...

Had a conversation the other day with a friend, one of those philosophical kinds of conversations where the words just fly around, words we don’t use much in our daily expression.  It caused me to think of ‘what are some of my favorite words’.  I thought back to a...

‘You know neither me, nor my Father: if you knew me, you would know my Father also. (John 8:19)   January 8th…….Happy Birthday!  I’m not sure who else that’s appropriate for, but for WBVN we first flipped the power switch on 1/8/1990.  That means we’ve had the...

Okay, I’m ‘creeping up’ on middle age {:-) and I’m willing to admit that.  And I still don’t know everything about the Gospel.  I keep listening and reading and still find things to add to the ‘old database' every week.  I’ve told family and friends that when I write...

‘And the witness is this, God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath the Life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the Life.’ (1Jn 5:11-12) For studying the Bible, the original Greek word definitions are terrific;...

Okay, I get it. I know it’s very tough to get people to read poetry in this day and time. Poetry is boring, it almost hurts us to read, I get that. But, I’ll ask you to suck it up and suffer through the next 60 seconds and read A POEM! I don’t know who wrote it but...

FACT There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple. “Dreamt” is the only English word that ends with the letters “mt.” Almonds are a member of the peach family. Maine is the only state whose...

There’s an old saying: “If you’re going to be a flower, turn to the sun, if you’re going to be a rock be a diamond, if you’re going to be a bird, be an eagle.” Simply stated, be the best you can be. Even though there are no diamonds without flaws, when cut and...

There have been attempts historically to cancel God.  Seems every generation has tackled that challenge.   Again today, we have (using human logic, greed and political power) man’s own attempt to be their own god, determining what is right and wrong by their own...

I recently attended the local National Day of Prayer event. Being there, I appreciated the moment and the opportunity to be in that location and experiencing what was taking place there. Thoughts kept entering my mind about prayer and the profound nature that the...

“The important thing after being born again spiritually is to live.” That’s a quote from someone who, forty-five years ago, was a cornerstone for Christian thought in America. I’ve been reading Francis Schaeffer’s book Whatever Happened to the Human Race? The chapter...

We just finished our Spring Celebration and celebrating an early Easter. Easter spotlights the Christian Cross and how central that one day is to our trust and faith in Jesus our Messiah (literally, deliver-preserver). That not just in an earthly sense but an eternal...

Man of Sorrow (Man of Joy) I’m going to be very honest as I start this letter. Given the world we live in today, given the chaos of such division throughout the world, I sometimes feel guilty writing about joy. However, Jesus often expressed his thoughts about Joy. To...

Ever since the apple incident in Genesis, tough times have always existed. Perhaps the only difference today is that with all the advanced technology, we see trouble on a global scale, not just locally. Genesis scriptures describe a future darkness that pretty much...
