The Christian Faith Radio Hour exists, along with TheChristianFaith.org website, to help address the need for a healthy word of ministry among God’s children today.
In the past several centuries the Lord has used saints such as Martin Luther, Madame Guyon, J.N. Darby, G.H. Pember, Robert Govett, Andrew Murry, Mary McDonough, T.A. Sparks, Watchman Nee, and Witness Lee to open up so much Biblical truth to His children. Through them, and others as well, matters such as justification, the Old Testament types, the Body of Christ and the local churches, the reward and discipline of the believers in the coming age, and God’s full salvation through the operation of the divine life within the believers, have become more clear now than ever before.
And yet, it seems that so few Christians today have more than a basic grasp of the truths contained in Scripture; As the Lord tells us, through the prophet Hosea:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
— Hosea 4:6
Our hope and prayer for The Christian Faith Radio Hour, as for our website, is that the Lord may use it to bring His children into a more thorough grasp of His truth, and ultimately, into a greater knowledge and experience of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for His glory and His kingdom.

Seeing the truly evil nature of the Roman church will be a real protection to us, to keep us from being deceived as we seek to follow Christ today

The Seven Churches (3): Pergamos, the Worldly Church
Pergamos signifies the church as it was turning away from Christ and being corrupted by the world

Christ in You: The Need for Ministry (4) & the New Testament Fellowship (1)
This episode begins by highlighting the ministries of three servants of the Lord who helped the saints enter into the experience of Christ as their life, and recommending their books to the saints: T. Austin Sparks, Mary McDonough, and Andrew Murray. I then go on to encourage readers to study the writings of J.N. Darby, who focused more on the objective aspect of the truth, and also the 1917 edition of the Scofield Study Bible.Finally, I recommend the ministry of Brother Titus Chu, which has been a great help to me personally. He was a co-worker of Witness Lee, and currently serves the Lord in the Great Lakes area of the United States and Canada, and oversees as well.The last segment begins to consider the question of just what is, and what is not, the New Testament Fellowship of the believers in Christ.
