AT&T U-VERSE NOW CARRYING LOCAL CHRISTIAN TV STATION!

WLCF TV, established in Decatur, Illinois as a brand new affiliate (of the worldwide Christian Television Network) is beginning to see the fruits of its perseverance here in Central Illinois. Under the visionary care and guidance of General Manager Al Johnson II, WLCF has grown and is establishing its own footprint on the Christian TV market. More and more exciting and unique local ministries are beginning to make up a good portion of the programming on WLCF and my PLUMBLINE with BERNIE LUTCHMAN weekly TV program is part of it. 

These towns are now served by AT&T U-Verse which is now expanding its reach across Central Illinois and is now carrying WLCF TV45 into scores of thousands of local homes in the following communities: Springfield- Decatur; Champaign- Urbana; Danville; Lovington; Lincoln; Clinton; Effingham; Taylorville; Pana; Maroa; Argenta and Mattoon with MORE TO COME!!! WLCF TV45 is now seen in homes in these towns.  AT&T U-Verse is the fastest growing alternative in Illinois to Comcast Cable, the national cable giant which will not be able to ignore the presence of the ONLY locally operated Christian TV station south of Chicago for much longer. There will be more towns added in the coming months and year ahead! They will be announced here as AT&T adds them to the line up.

My PLUMBLINE show, which began as a Public Access show in 2008, has developed into a combination of pure cutting edge Expository Bible teaching Show with the common person like you and I in mind, and current issues through the lens of the Biblical Worldview. The growing acceptance of this program, which is uncompromising in its reformed theology, is a testimony to an intentional outreach of both love, humor and concern for the Lost. We reject the harsh preaching of some as well as the prosperity mumbo jumbo on most Christian TV and the pop psychology from some of America's famous "preachers".

HERE ARE SOME QUOTES FROM THE PLUMBLINE TV SHOW VIEWERS WHO SAW THE SHOW ON AT & T U VERSE IN THE RECENT PAST:
Ted (retired AT & T manager, Springfield) "I didn't know you were on TV! Saw you on U verse the other night....."
DZ (Contractor, Springfield) "I was flicking around the tube the other night....and thought I recognized you! Very humorous too....!"
Susan (Supervisor, Springfield) "DZ told me you were preaching on TV, tell me more about the show and when it's on...."

PLUMBLINE IS SEEN ON WLCF EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT ON PRIME TIME FROM 9:30pm CDT until 10pm. It is rerun every weekend on the station @ 5am CDT

THE MEANING OF LIFE: PART 1 OF 12

A CHAPTER BY CHAPTER STUDY OF THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES......CHAPTER 1
"Vanity of Vanities"

As we noted in the previous post and Plumbline program, there is a lot of Hopelessness in the world today. In fact, many have no hope for change in their lives because their spiritual and current status in life are in a state of flux.

Much of that can be traced to complete unbelief in the real God of heaven and belief in the false god of America - which increasingly - is whatever you, the individual claim THAT god to be. What you believe in life, about life and concerning life, determines how you live that life.

Many never learn that Truth. In fact, Truth is in short supply. If a person is looking for truth in everything from church leaders down to public officials and increasingly perverse media, they are looking for both love and Truth in ALL the wrong places. God has given us the full measure of Truth, yet only few seek it.  He took even a completely corrupt and broken vessel - no, not an American politician - but King Solomon, who was suffering the consequences of decades of sinful leaving. God then used this man to send us a love letter of what life really is about.

You and I can find out that meaning, if we just dig into the true meaning of every word of every phrase of every verse of the great Book of Ecclesiastes. For the next two weeks or so, we will look at this book - Chapter by Chapter in 12 separate but intentional fluid teachings.  In a 1/2 hour TV program, all we can do is dig into the major themes of each chapter and then trust that you and I then find our own Bibles and read it in that context. Today's look at chapter 1 introduces us to the basic truism of the general overview of life. Not only is there nothing new under the sun, but Solomon is allowed to think like most modern day Americans and ask "what is the point of all of this"?

Ecclesiastes 1 

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Futility of All Endeavor

1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2 “[a]Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“[b]Vanity of vanities! All is [c]vanity.”

3 What advantage does man have in all his work
Which he does under the sun?
4 A generation goes and a generation comes,
But the earth [d]remains forever.
5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets;
And [e]hastening to its place it rises there again.
6 [f]Blowing toward the south,
Then turning toward the north,
The wind continues [g]swirling along;
And on its circular courses the wind returns.
7 All the rivers [h]flow into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full.
To the place where the rivers [i]flow,
There they [j]flow again.
