1913-?
John Broger was president emeritus of the Biblical Counseling Foundation, and was known internationally for his missionary and evangelical endeavors.
John C. Broger, who was brought to the Pentagon by Admiral Arthur W. Radford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as part of a program of "personal evangelism in the political rather than the religious field." The program compared democracy's "sensitive individual conscience" to communism's "annihilated individual conscience" for third world nations and provided a "political religion," according to its proponents, for revitalizing America's national character.
Broger had been instrumental in establishing the Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) in 1945 as an Asian radio ministry that would bring the Gospel to China and other countries. FEBC was incorporated in California on December 20, 1945, as a non-profit corporation, and it had no financial backing and not even a permit to build a radio station.
In early 1946, an engineering survey of mainland China indicated the inadvisability of starting any broadcasting stations there. As a result, another survey was done in the Philippines by John C. Broger. On September 4, 1946, FEBC Manila was granted a Philippine franchise to build two ten-thousand watt stations (mediumwave and shortwave). On June 4, 1948, at 6 p.m. the one thousand watt transmitter of FEBC went on the air in Manila for the first time. John C. Broger announced the first broadcast over the then-called KZAS, the "Call of the Orient" station. By 1948, the power of the transmitter has been increased to ten thousand watts.
Broger would go on to become President of the Biblical Counseling Foundation (BCF).
 Anger and bitterness are two noticeable signs of being focused on self and not trusting God's sovereignty in your life. When you believe that God causes all things to work together for good to those who belong to Him and love Him, you can respond to trials with joy instead of anger or bitterness. Topics: Anger, Bitterness, Trials | | The supreme challenge you will face in making Christ-honoring, biblical changes is dying to self. The biblical perspective concerning "self" is exactly opposite to what the wisdom of this world proclaims. Topics: Change | | Living God's way means putting away your self-centeredness and committing yourself to follow God's Word in spite of any feelings to the contrary. Topics: Commitment, Feelings | | The process of biblical change, explained in God's Word, begins when you repent of your sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. God has given you everything you need to make the changes in your life that will please Him and will lead to His blessings. As you continue to obey God's Word, biblical change toward maturity will occur in your life until you see Jesus face to face. Topics: Conversion, Change | | Asking for forgiveness from others in a scriptural manner involves acknowledging that you have sinned against them and that you desire mercy and pardon (not to be given what you deserve). Asking for forgiveness is vital for reconciliation and may lead to the difference in the relationship. Topics: Forgiveness | | The hope that God has provided for you is not merely a wish. Neither is it dependent on other people, possessions, or circumstances for its validity. Instead, biblical hope is an application of your faith that supplies a confident expectation in God's fulfillment of His promises. Coupled with faith and love, hope is part of the abiding characteristics in a believer's life. Topics: Hope | |
| | Loving others in a biblical manner involves your thoughts, words, and actions and is a sign of your being a disciple of Christ. Loving others biblically is dependent on your commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and is not dependent on people, circumstances, or your feelings. Topics: Love, Feelings | | God intends and expects marriage to be a lifetime commitment between a man and a woman, based on the principles of biblical love. The relationship between Jesus Christ and His church is the supreme example of the committed love that a husband and wife are to follow in their relationship with each other. Topics: Marriage | | Many conflicts in a marriage result from living to please self instead of living to please the Lord. These conflicts can be resolved and are actually opportunities for spiritual growth when dealt with in a biblical manner. Topics: Marriage | | Since the marriage relationship is to reflect the relationship between Jesus Christ and His Church, it is imperative that biblical submission and love be practiced in all of its aspects between husband and wife. Topics: Marriage, Submission | | As you obey God's Word and rely on His strengthening power, you can count on biblical change to occur in every area of your life. Topics: Obedience, Change | | As parents, you may confidently rear your children according to God's Word. While bringing up your children, you are to remember that your children are not your "possessions" but instead are the Lord's gift to you. You are to exercise faithful stewardship in their lives.
