Shall I Have a Radio?

The child of God should ever remember, when confronted by any question, What saith the Scripture?
“For man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:44But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)).
Faith does not reason, nor talk of expediency, but listens to His voice, knowing that wisdom is with God, and comes to us through the living Word. Have we not very plain Scripture instruction as a precious word of warning?
“Cease, my son, to hear the instructions that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.” (Prov. 19:2727Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. (Proverbs 19:27)).
That such comes over the radio cannot be denied, and in plain and blessed language the Lord taught His disciples to pray, “Lead us not into temptation.”
Let any one answer before the Lord whether or not they are not often tempted to “listen in” when “vanity is on the air.”
Vanity is there, and the Christian who feels most his weakness and the need of godly edifying, will remove such “far from him.”
Let us know more of the Lord, the joy of the Holy Spirit, of the comfort of the Scriptures, more of the blessedness of intercession, and we will neither need nor desire a radio.
