Music is one of the most powerful influences in life.
God desires our worship in song to glorify Him in spirit and in truth. How we
worship God in song matters to God, and it should matter to us.
Devotional thoughts and comments from the staff at In Search of the Lord's Way, the television ministry of the Edmond Church of Christ in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Sunday August 19 - Problems In Worship
Audio - Problems In Worship
How God sees our worship and how we see our worship
may differ greatly. Things we may like are sometimes problems to God. God does
not accept all that people call worship. He asks that we honor Him by how we
worship.

Sunday August 12 - The Nature of Worship
Audio – The Nature of Worship
Many people go to worship each Sunday, but do they

prepare for worship?

Audio - Give Us a Standard
The morality of the nation
in these times is well defined in a statement by Paul Begala, a White House
staffer a decade or so ago. He said, “Define and create the reality you want.”
We very badly need a standard of right and wrong. Where can we find it?

We also want to welcome our new station in the South Pacific, which covers all of those tiny little islands in and around Micronesia. Joey Treat, works in that region and has secured time on the broadcast station there. We sent him several years worth of MPEG files and DVD archives for them to air. Joey reports that the program will be shown several times weekly and that there are 1000's of souls on those islands that can be touched by the saving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
These are exciting times for In Search of the Lord's Way. The total cost for both of these stations is less than $350 per month!

Searching for YouTube
In Search of the Lord's Way is now on YouTube!
Our YouTube channel is called SearchTV Ministry, and in the 2 weeks that it has been active we have had over 150 views of our April series titled, "After Life." We will select additional video series and individual programs to be uploaded as time goes by.
Each week the Search program is available for viewing on our website www.searchtv.org. This is a small low quality video file. The video file that is uploaded to YouTube is a DVD quality MPEG file and therefore will take more time to load, but will be of much higher quality. Follow the link above, or use this QR Code to go directly to the channel. Then watch, subscribe, leave a comment, or most importantly, tell all your friends where they can watch "In Search of the Lord's Way" and find a nice, timely Bible-based message.
We are always looking for new ways to use technology to our advantage in reaching lost souls. We will be using the QR Codes for different items here and in our newsletter. We are also looking at different kinds of media that are more mobile-friendly or work well across multiple platforms. Look here for more exciting news coming soon!
