An
Amazing Fact:
Unphased by sunlight and atmospheric interference, radio telescopes are unveiling
the hidden deep of the cosmos. Unlike optical telescopes, which rely on visible
light, radio telescopes detect radio waves emitted by celestial objects. These
powerful instruments have helped humans discover God’s distant pulsars, black
holes, and galaxies. The largest
single radio telescope, the Aperture Spherical Telescope, is located in Guizhou,
China. It boasts a 1,600-foot
diameter dish!
James
felt lost in the cosmos of his tumultuous life, one filled with repeated mistakes,
and he was searching for meaning. His journey, much like the exploration of
space, was filled with darkness—until a beacon of truth reached him through the
simple yet powerful medium of radio.
Did you know that more than 90 percent of Americans still
listen to the radio each day?
And with new technology, over 70 percent of people 12 years and older listen to
online audio. The influence of radio remains as strong as ever. At the same
time, the devil is throwing a lot of toxic trash onto the airwaves, making it hard
for seekers to hear the plain truth and be set free.
That’s
why I believe God still wants us to share Bible truth through radio broadcasts
like Bible Answers Live, which has been opening up the mysteries of
Scripture to searching hearts for 28 years! I get letters from all over about
people finding God through Amazing Facts radio programs. Prison inmates tune in
from their cells. Families listen while driving to work and school. Truckers
look for something worthwhile to listen to during their long hauls.
Through
Christian radio, you can cut through the static of Satan’s interference and help
more people like James discover last-day truth and accept salvation in Christ! Let
me tell you about how you helped him find cosmic truth…
False Relief
James
grew up in a dysfunctional family. As a result, he never felt good enough
around people and took part in “many foolish pursuits” to cope with his
negative feelings.
It’s
a common story. Satan brings heartache through the chaos of broken, abusive
homes. He then offers vulnerable souls the illusion of relief through drugs,
alcohol, and other worldly pleasures. But, as you and I know, “There is a
way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs
16:25).
That’s
why sharing precious Bible truth over the airwaves is critical to catching the
interest of seekers looking for trustworthy answers and purpose. Bible
Answers Live first caught James’s attention because he could tell the
messages were truthful. The way listeners called in and asked questions and the
personal, biblical answers we shared gave him a “speck of hope.”
A Regular Listener
Over
the years, James listened occasionally. He even received the free
literature that you provide on the radio program. At one point, the Holy Spirit
convicted him to listen more regularly. He finally realized that he needed to
take to heart the messages he was hearing.
After
listening to more Amazing Facts, James took action. He humbled himself, repented,
and asked for God’s grace. He shares, “Peace filled my heart. Praise God for
His longsuffering grace through Jesus.”
Amen!
Today, through Christ, James is free of the bad habits the devil led him to. “I
now have a church family helping me grow.” What blessings from God you can send
over the air!
Hooked on Listening
When
I began doing public evangelism years ago, there was never enough time to cover
all the subjects. So I added a time in my programs for people to ask questions
from anywhere in the Scriptures. It turned out to be the most popular part of my
presentations!
Thanks to co-laboring friends like you today, Bible
Answers Live is heard on over 400 radio stations, including SiriusXM, LifeTalk,
3ABN Radio, Strong Tower, the Salem Radio Network,
and more! Plus,
we’re on hundreds of affiliate stations globally that we cannot easily track.
I
am constantly awed by how God uses you and your generous gifts to lead people
to Christ. One caller named Bill said, “Before I get to my Bible question, I
just want to say that I was once an atheist, but then I started listening to
your program out of curiosity. I got hooked—now I’m a baptized believer!”
A
16-year-old girl called in to tell me of her panic attacks when thinking about dying
lost and burning forever. But then she started listening to Bible Answers
Live and learned that God will not torture unrepentant sinners for all
eternity. She said, “Listening to your program changed my whole perspective. I
now have peace.”
There
are many more people to reach like James, Bill, and that young lady. How can we
cut through more of the devil’s junk and help multitudes discover the galaxies
of truth waiting to be found?
Piercing the Darkness
You
can increase the number of radio stations that broadcast Bible Answers Live,
expanding the reach of God’s last-day truth on networks that play these
vital programs in a world muddled with trash-talk radio. You can help send
truckloads of free literature to thousands of callers who are asking for more
information after listening!
Bible Answers Live is a gateway that opens listeners to a vast array of
Bible resources on our website, through YouTube, TV, social media, and
literature. That’s why I’m asking you to help place more radio time on more
stations—so that more souls can be won for God’s kingdom.
We’re
also now working to place our video version of Bible Answers Live on two
new large Christian stations. And you can also help build a database of clips
from our programs so that people can search for and find answers to their unique
questions from more than one broadcast.
Satan
wants to stop truth from reaching listeners, but the forces of darkness cannot
prevent heaven’s messages from going out. So I’m inviting you to get on the air
with me and tell others about Jesus’ soon return through all of our
evangelistic outreach, including radio.
Would
you join me in expanding the broadcast range of essential Bible truth? Your
gift of $25 will help radio listeners find answers to their most pressing
questions. A $100 gift will send 162 pieces of life-changing literature to
people who ask for resources. And a galaxy-sized gift of $250 will make a big
difference in reaching new listeners on additional stations, giving them a new
life in Jesus. Whatever amount God puts on your heart, I know it will be
multiplied to bless others through all our outreach programs.
Out
of his gratitude, James wrote that he wants to support Amazing Facts monthly. He
says, “I look forward to my partnership with the Lord and you.” Your kind gifts
are crucial in piercing the darkness, offering a beacon of truth to those who
need it most. Will you join James in telling others how to find a new life in
Christ?

for the stars for God’s glory,
