I knew I shouldn’t have listened to Christian radio…but I did
I was in the Orlando area last week for some work and had a rental car….going through the stations and I stopped on a station mid-song and i knew….it was the local Christian radio station.
The song they were playing was followed with one of those sentinmental grunts as they introduced the couple the song was about.
Get ready for this……
This couple, tragically, had a child they knew would die as soon as they had it. Her name was Audry….i couldn’t imagine that. Basically they picked her grave plot before she gave birth to her. The song was about her road to recovery, etc. Sad story and sounds they have worked through some things….BUT here is where my mouth dropped at the craziness that spewed out of their mouths.
In summary;
The host asked ‘how are you making it through’
Statement 1:
She proceeded to say - the comfort of knowing that I will be with her again. That after she dies (mother) I hope to hear ‘well done good and faithful servant and then I am going to ask ‘Where is she?’.
So she is saying right after ‘she gets in’ she is going to go look for her daughter and what gives her solice in this life is the thought of spending eternity with her daughter. Wow is this not the gospel in the slightest.
Statement 2:
Host: So this put’s stress on couples and so many end in divorce…how did y’all make it through?
Her: Because our faith was strong and…… diamonds. (mild laugh)
Yes you read that right…diamonds. She was joking, but not really kind of joking. Literally she mentioned diamonds.
Statement 3:
She urged listeners to face the pain and suffering (agree) and that you can know you will see your loved ones in Heaven that you have tragically lost…that will ease your pain (DIS-agree). All summarized but that was the jist.
In summary;
- That was my once every 5 or so years stint of listening to Christian Radio
- If you hear this tenet taught at Church question it’s validity via looking at scripture
