Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,

C.S. Lewis & Radio

As I move into the field of radio, I do so with fear and trepidation. Apparently I am not alone.

Did you know that C.S. Lewis first voiced Mere Christianity on radio before going to print?  Speaking on the radio was a challenge to him. He said, "A fool can write learned language. The vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it." In the book, C.S. Lewis In a Time of War by Justin Phillips, a must read for anyone in radio, writes  "It often seems to me that writers with profound ideas find it difficult to be clear, while those with a catchy style have nothing profound to say."
