Our Ministry

Many of you may be interested in the process and purpose of our ministry. Each month we prayerfully select what we believe is an important Bible subject for our study, one for each Sunday of the month. We focus our lessons exclusively to the teaching of God’s Word. These lessons are then edited carefully to be sure the correct references are used for all scripture.
The lessons are then recorded on CD for our radio broadcast. They are placed on our web-sight, accessible in both audio and print. You may listen or down load all of the lessons by logging on to www.timeforthebible.org — anywhere in the world.

For those who do not have access to the internet, the lessons are available in handy booklet form or on CD. Both are available free of charge by writing to:
"TIME FOR THE BIBLE," P.O. Box, 6197, Santa Maria, CA 93456

Time for the Bible has only one goal - to teach God’s word in simple, easy-to-understand language. We have no empire to build, no doctrinal ax to grind, no theological hairs to split, no denominational fences to build or mend, and certainly no political fields to plow. Our desire is to preach the Word of God, so that the unsaved may hear and be saved, and Christians may be helped to "grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

OUR FINANCIAL POLICY:
By not making financial appeals on radio and in print, not only are we fulfilling the Bible doctrine of Grace, we are also eliminating the major complaint of those who strongly criticize such practice. To use any money entrusted to us more effectively, we have eliminated much of the expense associated with the Radio and Printed ministry. That is the reason we have no impressive or expensive studios or paid staff.

Every cent given to "Time for the Bible" goes one-hundred percent to purchase radio time. And to receive the best radio rates possible, all programs are paid for in advance. Our financial policy is simple. When the funds are available we add radio stations. When funds are not available we cancel stations.

No better explanation can be given to explain the financial policy of "Time for the Bible" than is given by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:17. "Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account." Paul said that he "didn’t desire a gift." In the Greek dictionary, the word "desire" has one of two meanings, "crave," or "demand." The gift was received because he wanted it to be put to the account of the Philippian believers, they would have treasure in Heaven. This is the only reason you are invited to share in this ministry.
