Red Letter Wisdom-Prayer

john : January 31, 2019 6:25 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Wisdom from the Red Letters is found in Mark 1:38.

Jesus
was praying in a solitary place early in the morning. Simon and his companions
were looking for Jesus. When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking
for you.”

Jesus
replied, “Let us go somewhere else-to the nearby villages-so I can preach there
also. That is why I have come.”

Sometimes,
people have a plan for our schedule, which might not match God’s plan for our
schedule. Jesus was in that situation. Simon and his companions had one idea
for Jesus that day, but His Heavenly Father had other plans. Jesus was in tune
with the Father’s plan, because He had spent time with Him and heard from Him
that morning. The prayer time of Jesus highlights a significant way to gain
clarity of God’s purposes for us. Spend time with Him in prayer.

The words of Jesus inspire us to start each day having a conversation with God in the Year of Redemption.

Red Letter Wisdom-Trust His Plan

john : January 23, 2019 5:29 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Wisdom from the Red Letters is found in Luke 5:10.

Jesus
said to Simon Peter, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will catch men.”

Peter
was a fisherman by trade, but one night he was coming up empty until Jesus told
him to put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch. The net was
so full of fish that it began to break.

Peter
was humbled by this event. He said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”
Whatever was happening in Peter’s spirit, he was seeing a big difference
between his own unworthiness and the holiness of Jesus. But the words of Jesus
were reassuring to Peter. Jesus was not there to condemn him, but rather, to
love him and give him a purpose that would bring many people to faith. At
Pentecost, after hearing Peter preaching, 3,000 people were added to the church
through conversion to Christ.

The words of Jesus inspire us to trust in His plan for our lives and to follow Him in the Year of Redemption.

Red Letter Wisdom-God’s Plan

john : January 21, 2019 4:03 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Wisdom from the Red Letters in the Bible is found in Matthew 11:18 and 19.

Jesus made a comparison between Himself and John the Baptist in this way: “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and ‘sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her actions.”

You are
probably familiar with caricatures. They are pictures of people that exaggerate
distinct features of someone’s face. In a spiritual sense, critics exaggerated
the positive qualities of Jesus and John to try to make them look extreme and
ridiculous. But as Jesus pointed out, “Wisdom is proved right by her
actions.” 

Jesus
and John did not carry out their ministries in the same way, but they were
definitely on the same team. John came to prepare the way for Jesus, and Jesus is
the way for us to have eternal life with Him.

The words of Jesus inspire us to embrace the wisdom of God’s plan to save us from sin in the Year of Redemption.

Red Letter Wisdom-Bear Fruit

john : January 17, 2019 5:01 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages, Uncategorized

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Wisdom from the Red Letters is found in John 15:8.

Jesus
told His followers: “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit,
showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

This is
a good focus point for 2019, to glorify God with a fruitful witness for Jesus.

The key
to being successful in this endeavor is to stay connected to Jesus. He said in
John 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in
you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

With
Jesus, we have a strong and vibrant testimony. Without Him, we are helpless.

The words of Jesus inspire us to stay close to Jesus and bear fruit for God’s glory in the Year of Redemption.

Freedom Phrase-Forgetting What Is Behind

john : January 14, 2019 4:58 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Freedom Phrase is based on Philippians 3:13 and 14.

The
Apostle Paul wrote, “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have
taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God
has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Paul
had baggage from his past. He had persecuted followers of Jesus. He had done
much harm to the early church. But that was not the end of his story. He
converted to following Christ, and his sins were no longer held against him.
When we follow Jesus, our past does not have to define us, because His
forgiveness frees us from the guilt of our past.

Through Jesus, we are set free to move forward in God’s plan with a clear conscience.

Some Sort Of Rock Show Music Submission Process

John Staffieri : January 9, 2019 8:00 am : John Staffieri, Staff Pages

Do you have music you would like considered for airplay on Some Sort of Rock Show?
I have so much respect for artists who are sacrificing to produce hope-filled music and would love to hear it! Some Sort Of Rock Show plays Christian pop rock, hard rock (mostly clean vocals), roots/southern rock, modern rock, alt-rock and some hip-hop.

_____________________________________

Things to know before you submit: 

1. I only have room for about 28 songs each week, so please don’t be offended if your music is not selected. 

2. I receive many submissions and I listen to everything that is sent my way. I can’t always listen immediately, so please be patient.

3. I will get back to you if I have any questions or if I have decided to play your music. If you don’t hear back from me, I will not be playing your music. Try submitting it to other stations. 

4. When I listen to submissions, I am listening purely through the Some Sort of Rock Show grid. So it’s either a yes or a no. I am not the guy you want to get specific advice from. Please don’t ask me for an explanation of why I am not going to play your music or what changes you should make to get airplay on the show. I also do not write reviews. 

_____________________________________

To submit your music please email the following to SomeSortofRockShow@wjtl.com:

1. The song you would like to consider. (mp3 or wav file)

2. Your bio with info on where you are from, how long you’ve been doing music, album info, and the heart behind your music, etc.

3. A photo.

Thank you!
