The growth of the use of radio broadcasting as a medium to witness to the truths of the Reformed faith is emphasized by the recent observation of the three hundredth broadcast of the Reformed Witness Hour in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Much has been accomplished since the first broadcast was aired, and we are grateful that God has blessed this work and this medium so that today there is not only a Protestant Reformed witness in Grand Rapids but in several other localities as well.
Not only are we grateful that this witness goes out in many areas but we are pleased that the execution of many duties and tasks connected with this program are carried out by young people of Protestant Reformed churches. Our young people have a record of achievement in this respect that speaks very well of them. It speaks well of them that they are moved to give their time and energy to the propagation of the truth. Not all of us are qualified to be speakers or ministers of the Word but in this radio work we are given an opportunity to use other talents such as musicianship, secretarial ability, organizational work and leadership.
We feel that at this time it is especially proper to renew our attention to this work by using our time to participate or listen to these radio broadcasts on Sunday. Although these broadcasts are directed in many instances to those outside of our circles, there is still much benefit to be derived by our listening to the messages. As young people we ought to be concerned with the truth, concerned about the witness of the church. We ought to give close attention to the material presented in these broadcasts.
Currently, Rev. Hoeksema has started a series of talks on the subject of predestination. Where do you stand on this vital doctrine? Do you know what the proper attitude is towards this truth? Do you know the stand of those that oppose this doctrine? Are you capable of defending this doctrine which is becoming so unpopular today? Do you realize that the doctrine of predestination is the cornerstone of the Reformed, Christian faith? You can answer these questions by listening to this new series of broadcasts beginning this fall.
New program material is being prepared for other broadcasts later in the season. Not only are various speakers engaged but there is a variety of musical talent available. We repeat again, do not miss cut on these fine broadcasts and be sure to tell your friends about them.
