JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to offer our heart to God.
When we talk of the heart in the spiritual sense, we are talking about the seat of our desire or ambition.
Isaiah 26:8 is a statement to the LORD, “Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.”
When this is our passion, God’s love is our greatest joy and God’s glory is our ultimate aim. The Gospel becomes our mission and worship becomes our way of life. Our faith in God and love for God find expression in our work, in our songs, in our words, and in the way we treat other people.
Offering our heart to God is a vital step to a radiant faith that makes a difference in our world.
Happy Valentine’s Weekend! Today’s playlist is packed with songs celebrating the true love of God. Plus, the 9:00 hour is filled with songs led by worship leading married couples, including the Torwalts, Helsers, Johnsons, McClures and more.
This edition of the Praise & Worship Show features a Heartbeat Theme! My encouragement to you is to let your heart sing along as you dedicate each beat to God.
All the song info is below.
Keep in touch!

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Moment of Celebration reflects on worship from the heart
In Psalm 69:30, David, a man after God’s own heart, said, “I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.”
It was common for animal sacrifices to be used under Old Testament law to reveal our need for forgiveness and cleansing from sin. In reality, they were not the real cleansing agent, but they did foreshadow the complete cleansing from sin that we can experience through faith in Jesus Christ, who was the perfect sacrifice to take away our sins.
David was saying that sincere worship from a thankful heart would mean more to God than the offering of an ox or a bull on the altar.
Hebrews 10:22 invites us to draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith. God has given us music as an instrument to lift up the name of Jesus with words that overflow from our heart.
Worshipping God with a sincere heart is a reason to be glad in the Year of Celebration.
JOHN SHIRK-One of the foundational teachings of the Christian faith is the moral depravity of humanity. Apart from Christ’s influence, we are lost in sinful and selfish ways. Sin is at the heart of our problem.
Jeremiah 17:9 says “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”
The heart is so deceptive that it is possible for us to deceive ourselves into thinking we are in a better condition than we really are.
The good news about Jesus is that He is our remedy of hope. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. We can be set free from guilt and experience forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus for us on the cross. What is incurable for man is possible with God.
Jesus says in Luke 5:31, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” For the sickness of our sin, there is a cure, and his name is Jesus.
The heart of our problem and our remedy of hope is a lesson of faith worth remembering.
Good morning! Today’s 4-hour worship program includes a “Heart” theme for the 6:00 hour and a “Water” theme for the 8:00 hour. Plus, worship songs from Michael W. Smith, as we look forward to his live worship night (also featuring Dan & Lauren Smith) tonight at Grace Fellowship Church in York! Doors open at 6:00, the concert it at 7:00. Tickets will be available at the door tonight. (Concert details here.)
Today I’m also sharing Psalm 42:11 in hopes of encouraging your heart. Take a look at the Message translation of this verse:
“Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.”
I’d love to hear from you if there are song questions you have or anything else for that matter! I also email the playlist out weekly. If you’d like to be included, just let me know. You may also have favorite worship songs or leaders that I’ve yet to play on the program. Drop me a line. 😀
