Streams of Living Water... Now on Pirate Christian Radio.
Pastor Watt's sermons are now being broadcast on Pirate Christian Radio. Stay tuned for scheduling information.
Also the quality of the broadcast has been greatly improved thanks to suggestions by Craig Donofrio at PCR. It was simple and cheap and the results are fantastic! If you need a good inexpensive microphone check at Musicians Friend. (this one).
Now we use this mic and a free software program called Audacity with noticeable results. We took the opportunity to change the format by adding an intro and trailer and some background music and a new title for the program.
The title "Streams of Living Water" comes from the idea expressed in Psalm 1.
Psalm 1 (ESV)
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
The Christian is truly blessed as he/she comes into contact with God's Word, but the Psalm really is an accusation of our sinfulness and the blessed nature of our Savior.
The psalm is a nice description of Christ. The description of the Blessed Man is His alone. We are deserving of punishment. We are the chaff blown in the wind. We are unfaithful in our diligent use of God's Word. We can't even stand to be in worship more than an hour. Not so our Savior Jesus. All the psalm says is true for Him. Jesus is the tree planted by the streams of water. All the He does prospers. He follows God, the Father's, will for his life. Even when that includes suffering the punishment the wicked deserve. Jesus stands innocent in judgement and yet He falls with the punishment meant for the wicked. He perishes in our place. In that knowledge we too are blessed by God's Word.
As far as the new program goes I think it sounds great. Listen here.
