I recently had the opportunity (over the Memorial Day Weekend) to visit radio station WMTC in Vancleve, KY. This is a holiness radio station that has been around since 1948 I believe. It was a privelege to meet everyone there. Here are some pics. They operate on the FM at 99.9 and on the AM at 720. The station is run under the auspices of the Kentucky Mountain Holiness Association.

Here is the Main studio.

And the outside of the station.

The FM Tower in the distance

Here is the station from the top of what is known as Wildcat Mountain. The radio building is hard to see because of the size of the picture, but is the building in the far distance right beside the Y split in the road, on the left hand side.

I came across a excellent quote on what holiness is by J. C. Ryle in doing some research the other day; I just had to share it.

"Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word. He who most entirely agrees with God, he is the most holy man." - J. C. Ryle

On Friday March 28 through Monday the 31st I was privileged to be at the Arms Around the World Convention in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This is headed up by Steve Sturtevant. The evening evangelist was Bro. Ken Thompson. Jonathan Lucas with Mission Helps was one of the other session speakers that I heard, and Bro Sturtevant spoke about his prison ministry. I also got to spend time with my sister Brenda who lives in Johnstown, Co and my adopted family the Johnstown Albertsons. With the exception of being sick the whole time it was a really enjoyable trip.

What a year it has been politically! The rollercoaster of candidates moving up and down, not to speak of all the pundits and their opinions. Up to this point I have been supporting Mike Huckabee, not just because of his stand on moral issue, but of his honesty. Whether you agree with his policies or not, he is one of those very rare politicians, who I believe will tell the way he sees it, and then stick to it. However, with his defeat yesterday he is no longer a livable option. It is with heavy heart today I view our country and its future. Not because Mike Huckabee is no longer in the race, but over the choices of this generation. Some might vote for McCain in November, but I don't feel that will accomplish much. However I don't want to be too pessimistic!While I don't have much confidence in our politicians there is still hope. I believe it is time to come to the realization as Diedrich Bonhoffer did, that we are to be Christians first, and countrymen second. The Bible tells us NOT to put confidence in men. I believe like Daniel we need to be men and women of character in the midst of evil generation. Do you realize that through Daniels testimony of a Godly life, three pagan kings were forced to recognize the power and presence of God? I believe God wants us to be like that. I more and more realize that our job as Christians is not to reform government, but to reform men. When we are not willing to compromise in our own lives, no matter what the cost, then God can work through us. Now, don't think that I am unpatriotic, because I am not. The Bible tells us that in Proverbs 21:2 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. God also sets up nations and takes them down as well. I believe he wants us to be faithful, serve Him, and see Him work.
