… is the key to Heaven … but Faith unlocks the door!
Words are so easily spoken
Prayer without faith is
Like a boat without an oar
Have faith when you speak to the master
That’s all He’ll ask you for
Prayer is the key to heaven
But faith unlocks the doorHave you ever prayed for something big or small? How long did you have to wait … or did the answer come at all? Believing is what really counts! As it’s faith that unlocks the door!
Written by Samuel T. Scott & Robert L. Sande many years ago, you hear this “message” song on enLighten quite regularly, sung by a variety of artists … and even heard me speak of it from time to time.
As quoted in Matthew 17:20, Jesus said … “He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
I wonder, as professing Christians … while we like to believe we have that much faith and trust in our Lord and His power …. do we really when it actually comes down to where “the rubber hits the road?” I’d like to think that I do, must can’t honestly say that it’s a unflinching faith. What about you?
Permanent . . .
Knowing that I would be seeing hundreds of you at our booth at the National Quartet Convention who would have the same question, Mr. Scott Greenstein, the senior Sirius XM executive in charge of programming, called to say that I could assure all of you that enLighten has a permanent home in the Sirius XM satellite lineup. When it will move to a new channel and gets its name back is yet to be determined.
However, regardless of what the name says in your radio … what you are hearing on Sirius and XM Channel 18 and Dish TV 6018 is the “unlimited” enLighten playing “unlimited” Southern Gospel music 24/7. For that, we continue to rejoice … and I know you do to!
Just ahead . . .
Keep your ears atuned for announcements on the air and keep checking this website for special programming coming in the days ahead. Such as our airing of the complete 2011 Singing News Fan Awards and Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies event, which took place recently at Dollywood … they’ll be broadcast on Tuesday evening 10/18 beginning at 8 ET with encores the following weekend.
