Focus on Family Rejected for Their Stand for Christ

Beacuse of their strong stand on behalf of the public acknowledgement of God, Focus on the Family will no longer be aired by “contemporary Christian” radio station WMHK in Columbia, South Carolina. Columbia Christians for Life comments: “As a result of a difference in biblical worldview concerning what programming is appropriate to be carried by ‘Focus on the Family’ for airing on WMHK ‘contemporary Christian’ radio, the ‘Focus on the Family’ program will no longer be carried on WMHK after January 2, 2004. Dispute over the programming content of four ‘Focus on the Family’ programs in late October and early November 2003 resulted in WMHK’s refusal to air Dr. James Dobson’s November 12 program. The four programs covered several culturally relevant, current-events issues, including the courageous stance of (now former) Alabama State Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore in his attempt to acknowledge God in the public square by displaying the Ten Commandments; and, the urgent need for action in Florida to save the life of Terry Schiavo, who was threatened with death by dehydration and starvation (whose life has been spared for the moment).”
