Details about who we are, what we do and why we do it
Turning to the Bible "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." We all like to be honoured, to be promoted, to be lifted up. However, when we compare ourselves to God's standards we fall so short that we dare not exalt ourselves. In fact, as our quote today says, the only reasonable response is to humble ourselves before God, to recognize that He is sovereign and supreme and to acknowledge the weakness of our humanity. Then, God will lift us up at the appointed time. However, if we lift ourselves up before God, if we recommend ourselves to Him for salvation, we put ourselves in the embarrassing position of having to be humbled. For, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. If we would be lifted up, we must be willing to take the lowly place.(1 Peter 5:6)
Your visiting this website today joins you with others who are touched by its content, whether directly here on the world wide web or podcast, or indirectly by radio as our international producers broadcast radio programs inspired by its biblical ideas, sermon illustrations, devotional and ministry resources. We place a high emphasis on the Bible and attempt to encourage the believer in his or her faith and the unbeliever to begin to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Here’s how it works: Each week, Ron Hughes publishes new biblical material to this website. Radio producers working in several different languages around the world take his ideas and illustrations and use them as resources to create programs for their own people. These programs may be of a devotional nature encouraging the faith of listeners or what we call “ministry” endeavouring to teach or instruct them. Sometimes the resources on the website are simply translated and broadcast more or less “as is.” Sometimes they are adapted and expanded upon to become a sermon which is then broadcast on-air or delivered to a live audience.
Our goal is to broaden the influence of these Bible based resources so that more and more people around the world can benefit from them. The believer will find an archive of hundreds of devotional ideas which can be used for personal growth or to share in a Sunday School class or from the pulpit. Of course, we are always looking for more radio producers who would like to make use of this material as well to stimulate the faith of their audiences.
The personal ministry of the author of this material, Ron Hughes, is often of a devotional character. His illustrations are drawn from his own eclectic experience in several cultures and his life-long interest in biblical truth. The ideas he shares arise from a wide variety of situations and visitors to the site are assured of finding something to encourage them in their faith.
From experience, we know that often the hardest part for someone who has the privilege of speaking from God’s word is getting started with the appropriate idea to start the flow of creative energy. Whether you are preparing a full-blown sermon, looking for illustrations, preparing radio programs, teaching Sunday School, leading a Bible study or simply looking for resources to enhance your own devotional life, we invite you to jump right in here at FBH International.com.
We have nothing to sell. All of our resources are right here on the website and you are free to copy and paste to your heart’s content. Of course, in the interest of honesty and accountability, we would urge you to credit your ministry sources, but we have no way to check up on that. We trust you! (It would also encourage us to hear about how God uses this material in the lives of others.)
In closing, let me describe this website in a couple of sentences: “FBH International.com” is a biblical ministry offering hundreds of articles and short radio programs to stimulate faith in believer and unbeliever alike. Visitors will find Bible teaching, devotional ideas, sermon illustrations and more in both text and audio formats.
