Heaven & Home Hour Christian Radio Broadcasts

HHH Founder:

Dr. Clarence Erickson

1933-1963

Joined The Ministry:

Dr. J. Russell Killman

1959-1986

Dr. James Christensen

1973-2011

By this time most of you are aware that the Heaven and Home Hour is in transition. During 78 years of ministry on the air we have had but three regular speakers. And now it is time for a fourth. In his 70’s Dr. Jim Christensen is stepping aside to facilitate the introduction of a new speaker for the program. Just as Dr. Jim could not, for many, replace Russell Killman; just as Russell Killman could not replace his father-in-law and Heaven and Heaven Home Hour's founder Dr. Clarence Erickson, so no one can replace Jim with the same devotion, love, and respect. However, even with their differences, each of these three men was proven to be an effective communicator and teacher of God’s Word.

Our hope and prayer is that when our board of director identifies and presents a new speaker, he will be as accepted as his predecessors. Pray for us (the board) as we search, weigh and evaluate potential men to continue this daily radio ministry.

Enjoy your time with us!

Welcome!

Weekly Devotional:

The Circumcised Heart

the LORD your God will circumcise your heart..., to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live—Deuteronomy 30:6

Circumcision was required of Israeli men, not for moral or ethical reasons, but as an indication of their identification with Jehovah; the distinct God of the Jews. It became the ID card for Jewish men: if he was circumcised, he was Jewish; if not, he was a Gentile. Because the children of Abraham were regarded as God’s special people, to be circumcised implied right standing with God. As with many rituals, over time the symbolic rite takes on more importance than that which it symbolizes.

In the New Testament, Paul (the ex-Pharisee) recognized circumcision was of value only if the Law was obeyed in its entirety. He came to see that ...circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter... (Romans 2:29). Paul saw the real significance of the symbol: right standing with God comes only through a heart (the core being, the essence of the individual, the motivational center) that is changed. A physical sign can be easily duplicated. A change of heart results in changed behavior.

Again, Paul firmly stated, It doesn't matter if you are circumcised or not. All that matters is that you are a new person (Galatians 6:15 CEV). The capstone of the New Testament teaching regarding circumcision is found in Philippians 3:3, for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus…

Under Moses the Jewish people were notoriously fickle, disloyal, and rebellious. God said the solution to their alienation from Him was ...circumcise your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer (Deuteronomy 10:16). The circumcised heart indicates a change in the core being of the individual. Motivations and attitudes, desires and yearnings are now in line with Jehovah’s intent for man, his interpersonal relations and attitudes toward possessions.

Mission Statement:

Heaven and Home Hour exists to do its part in fulfilling the Great Commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28: 16-18)

In order to accomplish this mission, we shall seek to place our programs on radio stations throughout the United States. Believing people of all ages, races, and nationalities need to know Jesus Christ as their Savior. Our programming is both evangelistic and informative.

Since the Great Commission also includes "teaching" new believers, programs will be aimed at providing conservative Biblical messages to help them grow in their faith. (Mattew 28:19-20 and II Timothy 2:2)

Depending upon God to supply our every need, we shall use every means to fulfill our mission and bring glory to Him until He returns.
