Theologically Ambiguous Lineup of Positive Christian Music Frequently Plays Just the Right Song at Just the Right Time

Des Moines, IA

"It never ceases to amaze me that at just the right time, exactly the right song comes on the radio and changes everything." That is according to Gill Youngblood, a frequent listener of the local Christian radio station "The Vibe", which promises to deliver "positive and uplifting" music from every song they play.

"This one day, I was really just depressed. Work was busy the day before, and then that night I totally missed Dancing With the Stars because I had to work on a leaking kitchen faucet. I was driving to work that next morning and just then, a song came on singing about how no matter what I was going through, God is there for me. Like wow, it just really hit the spot. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Another time I had just gotten a flat on the way to a football game. I was sitting on the side of the road looking at my shredded tire thinking... why me? Sitting there basically feeling sorry for myself, I overheard on the radio some song about how struggles were proof that God loves me. It was just for me, I knew it."

The Vibe offers listeners a way to interact with their music selection too. It's one way they serve those in the community with songs that are relative and in check spiritually. "We get this a lot. It's really amazing how God works through our carefully selected positive and uplifting music", weekday morning host Jennifer Enders told us. "It's like, strength in numbers. We play what rings spiritually true to our listeners, and we let them vote on what connects with them, our audience. They know what's best. Our listeners are our ministry, so it's important we are attentive to their needs. In a world that is so negative, it's good to have something that is consistently uplifting that meets people wherever they are."

Society That Condemns Decades Old Sins By Hollywood Actors And Public Representatives, Totally Convinced God Will Not Hold Their Own Sins Against Them From Long Ago

From Harvey Weinstein, to now Kevin Spacey, and of course our own current President of the United States, Donald Trump. This is only a shortlist on a much longer one that spans throughout history of both Hollywood and public government officials whose sins have come back to haunt them. Drawing public scorn, the backlash in these discoveries of such immoral behavior has threatened to end many careers; or at the very least, placing them squarely upon the unending scorn of the masses. Many of these men and women will be fired, and/or blacklisted indefinitely or permanently by former friends, partners and supporters. Nevertheless, this very same society is hopeful that its own sins will not find them out when God judges. When it comes time to stand before a truly holy Judge, a righteous God before Whom all is laid naked, before Whom even the very thoughts and intents of the heart are known--when it is their appointed time to die and to be judged by this all-kno...

Baptist Church Bringing the Canon of Holy Hymnal Into Question By Singing a New Song

Kendallville, IN A local church has a group of young people experimenting with "new things", and it has caused somewhat of a stir within the church at first. They are looking to embrace, or create new songs that are not found within the church's sacred Hymnal texts. "It started as we were reading through some Psalms in one of our weekly Bible studies. We were reading where it is written to 'sing a new song'. It got us thinking if it were possible, just maybe there were some hymns we had never sung out of the hymnal in church before. You know, a new song. I was really hoping to find a couple pages stuck together or something, and so we all looked. It was quite exciting at first, but as it turns out all of the songs had been very well covered, and there was therefore no new songs to sing. It was then that we found ourselves in the proverbial spot of between a rock and a hard place. It felt like we could either obey Scripture, or the ...

Local Man Sits During National Anthem Every Time Someone Does Something That Irritates Him

Tucson, AZ A brave local man is righteously indigent against injustice, and not going to take it anymore, standing up. Cut him off in traffic; sits during next national anthem. Disagree with him on Facebook; sits during next national anthem. Make fun of his tie; sits during next national anthem. Call him a mean name; sits during national anthem. There is literally no offense you could levy against Devin Johnson that would not result in him sitting during the national anthem. "I just suddenly realized that every offense against me personally is bigger than one person. It's bigger than me, and it's bigger than them. It's a systematic problem with the nation in which we both commonly call our home. It just makes sense. Injustice has existed for a long time, we all know that. There seems to be no end to it, but what are we really doing about it? The injustice that exists such that each offense against me personally is not suc...
