Hebrews 4:15 (NIV®)
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

Forces of darkness are hard at work in our world to redefine what is moral and immoral. We see evidence every day that people, including people standing on our church platforms and sitting in our pews, are not immune to these influences. But it is absolutely imperative that we not lose sight of the character of God and what He expects of His people. He is the Lord. He does not change, nor will He ever change. We may have updated His Word from “thee” and “thou,” but its call to holiness is the same as the day it was spoken. So, we don’t have the privilege of redefining what is moral and immoral. If you find yourself teetering on the edge of giving into temptation, remember that you have a High Priest in Heaven who was tempted during His time on Earth, and He understands. Because He lived a sinless life, yet died on a cruel cross for our sins, you have been delivered. You will still face temptation, but you have been freed from its grip.

THINK ABOUT IT
We’re not immune to temptation, but there’s a power within us to help us overcome it—the Spirit of the Living God.

Many Christians are not aware of their true condition. They know they are saved, and have experienced conversion and have repented at some time in their life. Yet they do not live in true fellowship with God.

BREAKING: Pray for Charlie Kirk and all affected by today’s shooting
This is Charles James “Charlie” Kirk—long known to many as the former radio broadcaster on CSN Radio and now a prominent conservative voice—was tragically shot today at Utah Valley University during his "American Comeback Tour." We at CSN Radio are rallying in prayer for Charlie, his beloved wife and two children, and all who were impacted by this cruel act.

Please join us in lifting him up in prayer, asking our Heavenly Father for his healing, protection, and comfort. Let's intercede for strength for his family, for peace to prevail in this moment of fear, and for grace to cover everyone affected. Your prayers matter—please share and stand with us in faith.

Who Is Charlie Kirk & Why CSN Radio Supports Him

Charlie Kirk is an American conservative activist, media personality, and the co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a leading organization that promotes conservative principles—such as limited government, fiscal responsibility, and Judeo-Christian values—on high school and college campuses. He also leads affiliate organizations like Turning Point Action and Turning Point Faith, and hosts The Charlie Kirk Show on Christian-conservative radio platforms.

CSN Radio has long supported Charlie Kirk and TPUSA because his mission resonates with our values: defending free speech, upholding biblical truth, and cultivating a new generation of leaders grounded in faith and constitutional principles. His Christian-nationalist message—encouraging believers to influence spheres of society through a biblical worldview—aligns with CSN’s vision of shaping culture for Christ.

Incident confirmation and details: Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck at Utah Valley University during his "American Comeback Tour." A suspect is in custody, and the campus was locked down while authorities investigate.

But we do not lose hope. Christ has already won the war against evil through the cross and resurrection. Yet, as His people, we must battle daily against the darkness in this world—standing firm in truth, continuing the works of Jesus Christ, and boldly sharing the Word to the ends of the earth.

Praying,
Mike Stevens, Program Director

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
–Ephesians 4:30

In John 14:16, Jesus said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever.” That Helper is the Holy Spirit. Jesus was saying, “I’m not leaving you as orphans in this world; My Holy Spirit will dwell in you.”

What does the Holy Spirit do for us? First of all, He indwells every believer permanently. In Acts 1:5, Jesus said, “John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” The baptism with the Holy Spirit is the supernatural act by which Christ immerses believers with the Holy Spirit, joining us to Himself and to other Christians. And notice the recipients of this baptism: “By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Corinthians 12:13). In this verse, Paul was writing to the Corinthian Christians, who were some of the sorriest, most immoral believers around. Yet Paul said they had all been baptized with the Holy Spirit. The baptism with the Spirit is not reserved for superspiritual Christians; it is for every believer.

We all desire more power in our prayers, more power over sin, and more power to find peace when our world is collapsing around us. But we already have access to that power because we have the Holy Spirit. As Peter wrote, “His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3). We have all of the Holy Spirit the moment we’re saved.

Second, the Holy Spirit makes us aware of sin. Jesus said the Holy Spirit “will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8). The Holy Spirit acts as our conscience. He convicts unbelievers of their need for a Savior. And for Christians, the Holy Spirit acts like an internal warning system when we’re approaching something dangerous. The Bible says if you ignore the Holy Spirit instead of listening to His warnings, eventually your conscience is seared so you can no longer feel Him.

Ephesians 4:30 says, “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” When you sin, it grieves the Holy Spirit. Since He has indwelled you, when you sin, in a sense you are asking Him to join in your sin. For example, in 1 Corinthians 6:15–20, Paul said if a Christian joins with a pr******te, it’s like taking the Holy Spirit along to commit immorality. What an unthinkable idea! It grieves the Holy Spirit when we ask Him to be involved in sin. Instead, we ought to listen to His warnings to avoid sinful behavior.

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
Hebrews 2:14–15

Death is not an appealing subject to consider. We don’t like to think about how it might be that our bodies and minds will fail us. Driven by a fear of dying, well-meaning people spend vast sums of money in attempts to put off their end and find meaning in life. But even the best attempts can’t answer life’s essential questions: Who am I? Where am I from? Where do I go when I die?

This is nothing new. Adam and Eve did the same thing in Genesis 3 when they listened to the false hope of Satan’s seductive lie welcoming sin and death into the world: “You will not surely die … you will be like God” (Genesis 3:4-5). We continue to believe the same lie. We try to be like God, longing to construct our own meaning and aiming to live forever. But death continues to hold terror for us, enslaving us in fear. When signs of old age emerge, when illness sets in, when the funeral procession passes by, we’re reminded that our false hopes have no substance. We must find true answers.

Everybody bases their hope on something. Let us base ours on the enduring strength and authority of God’s word. When we want to run away from troubling thoughts and crippling fears, let us run to the foot of the cross, where Jesus delivered “all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” Why did Jesus come? “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). By Christ’s death and resurrection, He drowned out the seductive voices of false hope, He took all our sin and rebellion and made our record clean, and He delivered us from all fear—even the fear of death itself. In taking our sins from us, Jesus has taken away Satan’s voice. There is nothing left for him to accuse us of, and there is nothing left to stand between us and the presence of God forever.

Death should therefore hold no fear for the Christian. As Paul writes, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Saved from what? Saved from sin, from judgment, from the terrors of death and hell, from fear of the grave—and saved for all eternity. This is the eternal life that the world longs for but can never find. It is not an escape from death but an escape through death—and it is the reason that Jesus left heavenly glory and became a human like me and you, and the reason that He died a criminal’s death.

When you are tempted to base your hope in the things of this world and are blinded by tempting lies, or when you find yourself considering aging, frailty, and death with a rising fear, tell yourself, “Jesus has destroyed the one who has the power of death. Jesus has delivered me from the fear of death.” Learn to see death as it truly is and you will be able to see life as it truly is for all God’s children: eternal, free, and full of joy.

Jesus didn’t just tell them to stop worrying; He told them to replace worry with a concern for the kingdom of God. A habit or a passion can only be given up for a greater habit or passion.
