The vision of A Word from the Lord is to share Biblical teaching using the instruments of radio, print, the Internet, and satellite technology so that people might discover the living Jesus for themselves and become more faithful followers of Jesus by hearing and applying the Word of God in their lives. In today’s world of confusing and conflicting messages from Church leaders, a major goal of A Word from the Lord can be summarized from Nehemiah when: “They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving meaning so that the people could understand what was being read” (Nehemiah 8:8,NIV).
