Church fliers in your mailbox

Welcome to No Compromise Radio, a ministry coming to you from Bethlehem Bible Church in West Boylston.

No Compromise Radio is a program dedicated to the ongoing proclamation of Jesus Christ. Based on the theme in Galatians 2 verse 5, where the

Apostle Paul said, But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

In short, if you like smooth, watered down words to make you simply feel good, this show isn't for you.

By purpose, we are first biblical, but we can also be controversial. Stay tuned for the next 25 minutes as we're called by the divine trumpet to summon the troops for the honor and glory of her

King. Here's our host, Pastor Mike Abendroth. Tuesday guy's still the

Tuesday guy. Aaron's still Aaron. Won't mean much to you, except I gotta switch the different music.

It's about time to get a different intro. Terry from Ohio, faithful listener.

I don't know how faithful he is, but he's a faithful listener. He gave me the thing that came to his door.

He sent it in. You know, you get these flyers. We're a church in the neighborhood. Please check us out.

This is very popular, especially with these multi -church campus deals. It says on the one side with an exclamation point,

Do not open this unless. And then it's got a little deal here at thechurch .tv.

The church online and you flip it over and it says, bring your family to participate in the launch of our new

Northwood campus Sunday, October 4th, 11 a .m. It's a little dated, but the idea is good for the introduction of No Compromise Radio today.

How do you promote your church? What would you say about your church if you wanted the community to show up?

Come and experience life transformation, teaching from God's word, music that will change your life and encourage your heart and loving, serving people who genuinely care about you.

I'm not the best editor, but that seems like it's a long sentence. Would we call that a run -on sentence?

Come and experience life transformation. That's at the top of the list. Do I need a transformed life at the top of the list or might

I need a declaration of not guilty? No condemnation.

Would that be at the top of my list or life transformation? Could you have said life transformation and still not be justified?

It says come and experience life transformation, teaching from God's word. How can I argue with that?

That's good. I like that. Here's a good one. Music that will change your life. I don't know.

I used to be in the music, you know, so much that I've kind of dialed back a little bit. Spotify, I listen to once in a while.

And music that will change your life. That was life changing music. I think

WVNE 760 used to be on that station. I like them. We're very good to no compromise radio.

Not many people would carry no -go radio, but they would for a price. But even then,

I think it's called life transforming radio, life changing radio, but it's because the word of God is preached, that's the idea.

Here, this is music that will change your life. I would assume that's loud music. I would assume that's a band. I would assume it's kind of coffeehouse music where you can't hear the congregation sing.

And this is a different campus. Normally when I hear, I haven't opened up yet. This is all live radio. I want you to know this is unscripted.

This is as it happens. This is reality. Usually these multi -campus churches, they're all under one leadership and you beam in the most bestest pastors preaching.

I did that on purpose. The guy that seems to you that's the most gifted as an orator, charismatic, not in theology, but in style and presentation.

And then he is the pastor for the other campus, but once in a while he shows up. That's kind of nice of him.

Appreciate that. Now, I don't know if this is the case here, but it's another campus. It's very big to have these campuses.

It says, of course, on the front, do not open this unless, and then you open it, it says, you want.

Okay. So, so it's all about you. Remember back in the old days, an army of one and you play to the people and their selfishness to get them to come into the army instead of, you know, we're all in this for a bigger purpose outside of ourselves.

Here's a church. If you open this, if you want a better marriage, responsible and well -balanced children, you can't make this up, a healthy lifestyle, enough money, and then some, a life that is bigger than life.

So we have gone from the pablum, seeker sensitive, you know, here's your best life now type of thing.

Actually, it seems like we're going into word faith and the whole money deal. You want, that's what's in red letters.

You want. Now, of course, I have to give disclaimers. If you don't know, we're no compromise.

If you don't know about no compromise radio, well, then better marriages.

Okay. Is that what we're after? Well -balanced children. I'd like responsible children.

This is all going to, excuse me. I've never sneezed on the radio show in 1800 shows. I don't think

I'm going to sneeze again because I'm allergic to this man centered nastiness. This is making me very, very allergic.

All of that, it says, and so much more at no cost to you except your time and effort to do the following.

See back. What's the back? Bring your family to participate. That's all you have to do.

So you show one time, you get a better marriage. You have well -balanced children, healthy lifestyle, enough money, and then some, and a life that's bigger than life.

For children, they have SIA, that's spiritual intelligence agency, teaching children what Jesus said about life.

For students, exchange student life, learning how to live the life God designed them for. Do we end sentences with preposition?

For adults, life talk, instructional, interactive, and group gatherings. I thought I was going to say group think.

About life, marriage, finance, and health. And when I read this, I think seeker sensitive.

Now they've thrown in the money and more, so I think of word faith and selfishness, which is seeker sensitive stuff.

Here's how we appeal to you. Instead of saying, what does God require? And we will do it. And if nobody shows up, nobody shows up.

But when I see the theme of living the life

God designed for them, and marriage, finance, health,

I'm shocked that nothing said here about sex. That's a way to get the millennial people in, at least for two weeks before they realize the gig is up.

It's all about law. Or as we say here in New England, lar. It's lar.

And we're all about law. How does that work? I'm not against the law, obviously.

The Bible has much to say positively about the law. Now its effects are

God uses positively, but there's a negative slant, if you will, in terms of showing my sin and making me run to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

But when I'm looking at this thing, we're going to talk a little bit more about law in a second, because you know that's what

I like to talk about. And gospel. There is the word

God, right? Live the life God designed for them. So I'm happy for that.

There is nothing here about Jesus.

At the church .tv. At the church .tv. God's word, it does say.

And after that, the Church on the Strayer. That is quite the name for the church,

Church on the Strayer. The Straying Church, because when you go away from the Bible, you stray.

And when you focus on law, what's our church all about? Living the life God called us to live.

I mean, how are you going to measure up to that? How are you going to do? I think you need some good news. I think you need gospel talk.

I think you need talk about who Jesus is and what he has accomplished and how he will return.

Money, lifestyle, well -balanced children. What if I'd offer you this?

A come -to -Bethlehem Bible church. You don't really know what you want.

How would that sell? Do not open this unless you need to think biblically instead of from a self -centered, man -centered, snotty -nosed, kids -centered viewpoint.
