And so were the critics of the firing.<BR/><BR/>It WAS programmatic and financial, because KFUO's view was how to keep sponsors and make money. They didn't want program offending and costing them money.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, they also were willing to go soft on doctrine in order to do so.<BR/><BR/>Compromise in the name of keeping peace, worshiping God and mammon...<BR/><BR/>Christianity always has a hard time when they try to make both a priority. <BR/><BR/>We had a gentleman in our congregation that didn't want to see us get a cell phone tower because it meant the church would have to enter into the business world in the dealings, and he didn't see that as a role for the church. Maybe he was right. Maybe it is time to get rid of the radio station. If we view it as a business and not as a ministry, there really is no point.RPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686240798146992394noreply@blogger.com
