You know, spending time with Bob Durham is probably one of my favorite things to do, but I just don’t get enough of it.  We had a great time together working on this week’s “Make Mine Southern”, Bob’s weekly program heard on KKOW AM 860 out of Pittsburgh, Kansas.

Bob, as some of you already know, is the Pianist for The Missourians, and has been forever.  But Bob Durham is also a wealth of knowledge about Southern Gospel Music, which is probably why I like him so much!

Take a listen to this show:  It’s in two parts, as you can see, each an hour long.  But as you listen, just picture what is going on as Bob and I go thru these great songs-  a better time, it’s hard to say I’ve ever had!

I also had a great time hearing songs from the Missourian’s new CD, NO BOUNDARIES, available now at their website-  Trust me, it’s worth it!

Make Mine Southern is a weekly Southern Gospel music program that airs every Sunday on KKOW 860 AM from 6:00am to 8:00am, KNEO 91.7 FM Sunday 11:00pm, Monday at 10:00pm and at Heirwave Internet Radio on Sundays from 2:00pm to 4:00pm (CST). It features the latest releases from today’s Hottest Southern Gospel acts as well as local and regional artists. MMS is hosted by one of the midwest’s premier groups, The Missourians. Make Mine Southern is sponsored in part by The Missourians and The Crusaders for Christ Singers. 

Each week listeners from the four state region of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas tune in for two hours of fun and entertainment, Southern Gospel style.  Just remember, wherever you go, whatever you do and whomever you see, “Take the Name of Jesus with you!”

Gospel Music Roundup-Trusting is Leading

Trusting is leading [ 1:00:33 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1151)

All too often, these days, I hear the phrase, “I don’t know how to trust anymore.”  And, while it’s true that words like those are an indictment on our society, I can honestly say, the worse things have gotten, the more I have learned to trust.

Trust in God.

Men, women and children, they will all disappoint us, and some will carry out that disappointment to a breaking point inside of us that, unless we know Christ intimately, will cause a major rift in our lives. But I will say it again, this is only in the event that we are not closely familiar with the Lamb of Galilee, God in man, Jesus the Christ.

For, by knowing him, we know the suffering and disappointment he went through for OUR sake;  he was mocked, persecuted, scorned and beaten;  Yet with a single command, he could have brought down a vengeance upon man that the world had never seen, and even left this world a mere uninhabited rock.

Instead, He chose the Cross, fully aware of its pain, its torture.  He chose the nails, knowing that God knew what He was doing, and had sent His only Son here, for the purpose of wiping away the sin that separated us from Him.

It took a sacrifice, Holy and blameless.  And Jesus’ unwavering Trust in God is why we now can go to God in prayer, seeking Him, and we can rejoice that even though we may stumble, we may fall, we may wander and we may give up for a while, we can still reach out to Him, and in that very moment He will catch us!

Trust in God.

I hope the songs you hear in this edition of Gospel Music Roundup will draw you into a closer trust relationship with the King of Kings, and that in the music, as it winds its way from your ear to your heart, you can again see that the one thing we CAN trust in this world and in these times, is God alone.

Trust In God.

Proverbs 3:5

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.”
