Should A Christian Use Grace Or Fire?

Should a Christian share his faith with grace or fire?

When I was in Law Enforcement and had to deal with people from all walks of life, mostly folks who were at their very worse, a place in life that had brought them down to the lowest part of human existence, some even taking their own life because they couldn't deal with living. For others they committed hennas crimes such as murder, rape, and other offenses that involved innocent people who became victims and their lives changing forever, and not for the good.

So here I am responding to a call while on patrol where "this" person already filled with rage, anger, sadness, suicidal tendencies, etc. had already made up their mind that nobody will tell them what to do, say, or where to go, and God forbid you go into their house to try to make since of what just happened. This is one reason why Cops are killed in these situations.

Even with all this intense pressure and fear of being hurt or killed, I enter into this danger zone to confront someone who doesn't care about life, Jesus Christ, especially me, the guy with the badge, or even their best friend at that moment, and still, I always take the soft hand approach initially which is to approach this person with calmness, gentle voice commands, a smile, and a genuine concern that the person I'm "confronting" will know that I'm there to help and not to destroy his/her already ruined life.

From the soft hand approach, an officer will move up the ‘sliding scale of aggression’ to bring resolve which can turn into a full blown fight to even using deadly force if that officers life is in jeopardy of losing his own life from the hand of an offender who might go from angry words to brandishing a knife or gun. I have to say that many times even using the soft hand approach to diffuse a situation, a lot of times it ended up into a scuffle because of the aggression of that person.

So my personal belief is to always try using the sliding scale to get to a person's heart with the Gospel of Christ. If you're kind and loving and genuine in the beginning, this might be all you need to grab their attention and get something accomplished.

On the other hand, there are many who would rather fight (argue) with you and try to destroy you without even blinking an eye, so you'll have to either be willing to follow through (restraint and patience) with some non physical confrontation, always with their best interest at hand, which would be the Cross of Christ, Repentance, and Salvation, or just do as Jesus told his disciples which was to shake the dust of your sandals and move on to the next city.

Just my thoughts!

You Did It! We're On-The-Air In 2010!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks to you, we've made it! On the last day before the deadline, you helped WOW.FM raise the $6000 dollars through your donations and faithfulness. The exact total so far is $6,057.00.

Because of you, WOW.FM will be able to meet our basic operating expenses throughout 2010. We're taking baby steps and look forward to the next one! That is, where the Lord will lead this work/ministry.


Since WOW.FM is a 501(c)(3) Corporation and is 100% Listener Supported, Please continue to donate to WOW.FM throughout this year to help us plan for the upcoming year and to have enough money set aside in case we run into any unforeseen expenses or emergencies that might arise unexpectedly.

Click here: www.wow.fm/donate.html

Or you can mail a check or money order to:

WOW.FM C/O God Works! Inc. P.O. Box 640543, El Paso, Texas 79904.

WOW.FM is under the umbrella of GOD Works! Inc. which is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit, Tax Exempt Corporation so we are able to give receipts for tax purposes.

Why donate? WOW.FM started up over a year ago on the Internet as a way to reach the world for Christ and to be able to not only minister with God's word, but through the music as well.

It's hard, almost impossible to find a Christian Station that plays CCM and Billboard's Top 100 hits from the 70's to today, especially Hard-To-Find Christian hits from the 70's and 80's, and WOW.FM does it all, in CD quality!

Please compare our sound quality to any other radio station on the Internet, you'll be very impressed with our signal! The first time we heard our own station, our jaws dropped with what we were hearing!

Here are just a few emails that we've received regarding WOW.FM:

"I'm listening to WOW.FM right now and it sounds great! - Benny Hester"

"I love the station. I've been listening regularly! I haven't heard a lot of this music for over 21 years but so many great memories have come flooding back and I find myself smiling, laughing and crying sometimes. What a blessing."

"It's the best mix I've heard a CCM station have. Keep up the great work!"

"I absolutely love WowFM. I grew up listening to most of your music (CCM) in the early to mid 80's and as you know, we simply cannot find another venue like what you offer."

"I have been a listener of Jesus Music/CCM since the mid 70s, and was/is excited to hear some of those oldies again for the first time in many years. What a great feeling to go back in time with the old stuff, and enjoy some of the newer stuff as well. You guys play some real gems that I don't have."

"As one of those CCM artist's from the 70's and 80's I applaud you for what you are doing, so keep on keeping on! You have my support!" - Scott Wesley Brown

"I'm praying for you and your team there at WOW FM that God would bless you and keep it going. I made a small donation today. I have told a lot of my local friends and even some friends in California about the station. I hope they pull out their credit cards!"

"I´ve been listening to your station now and it´s GREAT! It sounds very, very good on the net here in Europe! I think it´s a good idea to mix christian bands with clean secular hits, in order to get a wider audience! God will bless this work!"

"You guys are awesome, Loving the show! You should be on XM radio. Thank You!"

"I just found out about you guys last week and I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE your station!! The classic Christian music brings back so many good memories! Thanks for all you do to make it possible to enjoy this all day!!"

"I just found you and must say I like the concept. I have to admit that I find the state of radio today to be bad and don't like National broadcasts. But, if I could do local radio I would love to use your music format. Keep up the great music"

"Just found your "station". LOVE it, keep up the great work. I'm a BIG fan of CCM and even Billboard and love stuff from the 70's, 80's, 90's. Novel idea you have WOW! Keep on rockin'"

"I’ve visited the site on several occasions and I have to say that WOW sounds great! It’s loud, clear with great stereo separation, as though I was listening to a top market, HIT FM radio station but without the noise. Keep up the great work and continued success!"


I hope that you've had a chance to listen to WOW.FM yourself. If not, click here now:

Our music is focused on a 25-54 age audience, but we know we're reaching a wider audience than this!

Most of all, thank you all for your friendships and please pray for us, that means so much to me personally.

My best!

CCM Great Passes Away Today

Please keep the family and friends of CCM Artist, Tom Howard in your thoughts and prayers. Tom had a heart attack today while hiking at Edwin Warner Park in Nashville and passed away. He's been a good friend of many in the music and Christian circles since the '70s and is already missed terribly!

Tom Howard was an American pianist, musical arranger, orchestral conductor, and an Christian artist. Howard helped numerous bands and artists, especially within the Christian Music Industry (CCM). You can view Tom's Discography here:

Is The Cross Bloody Or Sugarcoated?

People just don't want to hear the Gospel today. That is, that men are sinful and wicked by nature and deserve judgement. But for what Christ did on the cross, and man's willingness to humble himself and ask forgiveness and go to that cross, the penalty of sin is death.

Most people today even without a relationship with Jesus Christ say they love God and his creation but are missing the mark. Even Christians are for the most part, compassionate with huge hearts, but for every person who desires Eternal Life with Christ, the process starts at the Cross. Remember the cross is bloody not sugar coated, and the Gospel is not entertainment.

Life in Jesus is a wonderful road to walk, full of challenges, but it's God's strength through his Holy Spirit that brings inner peace and a heart full of joy and thankfulness that can never be traded for anything.

If you want to know the true heart of God, then watch this seven minute video.
