Right Start Radio with Pastor Jim Custer
Right Start Radio is a ministry of the Grace Polaris Church of Columbus, Ohio, and was started over 40 years ago with Pastor Jim Custer producing and then delivering it to local radio stations. Today Right Start can be heard in Ohio, Northern Kentucky, Gainesville and New Plymouth, New Zealand.
Right Start is an outreach ministry with a three-fold aim:
1) Stimulate an interest in understanding the Word of God among believers (Colossians 1:28).
2) Strengthen local churches by providing a teaching ministry to local church leaders and teachers (2 Timothy 2:2).
3) Evangelize those who are seeking a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 20:31).

Living Respectfully - Part 2 of 2
"Outdo one another in showing honor." Ah, it's a contest! Most translations render the last part of Romans 12:10 something like, "in honor giving preference to one another." But others read, "Set exa…

Living Respectfully - Part 1 of 2
Do I matter? We all want to know that we have significance, value, worth, even honor. Well, that value was proven at the Cross. We were ransomed with something far more valuable than gold, as Peter w…

Respecting The Higher Powers - Part 2 of 2
According to Joseph de Maistre, "Every country has the government it deserves." If the philosopher's point seems a little too sharp, how about the psalmist? "For the scepter of wickedness shall not r…

Respecting The Higher Powers - Part 1 of 2
Don't be conformed to the culture, but comply with Congress? What? Romans, chapter 13 gives us the clearest instruction anywhere in Scripture of how Christians should relate to civil government. But …

Behaving Like Brethren - Part 2 of 2
"Communion" celebrates our common union. As we're thinking about the brotherhood and sisterhood of believers, let's not forget that we have a living picture of that in the Lord's Supper! Every time w…

Glued For Good - Part 1 of 1
Love, and right. When fake Christians parrot the words, "God is love," they mean, "God is love and does not judge." But the Bible explains, "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.…

True Love - Part 2 of 2
We can't love without giving, but we can give without loving. Love gives. It doesn't have to be prodded, it doesn't overthink things, it doesn't care how the gift might look to others - love just giv…

True Love - Part 1 of 2

The Gift That Keeps On Giving - Part 2 of 2
What if God were to give you a gift wrapped in brown paper? We're not just adopted into the divine family; we've been given a gift for blessing others. And let's just admit it: we all want the specta…

The Gift That Keeps On Giving - Part 1 of 2
Are we mutilating the Body of Christ? Here in the land of "rugged individualism" we live our lives disconnected. We're often separated from kin and community by geography and economics. Now technolog…

A Worthy Response - Part 2 of 2
Where do we worship God? Everywhere! To present our bodies as a living sacrifice is our "reasonable" act of worship, Paul writes. That Greek word denotes something "pertaining to the mind and soul." …

A Worthy Response - Part 1 of 2
Now we come to a verse that most Christians disobey. If we've read and understood the first 11 chapters of Romans, then we see our situation clearly: We've been rescued purely by the goodness of the …

Biblical Basis For Foreign Policy With State Of Israel - Part 2 of 2

Biblical Basis For Foreign Policy With State Of Israel - Part 1 of 2
We'll be baffled by current events if we don't know history... and we can't understand history without the Bible! God has made promises to the people of Israel. And those promises will be fulfilled -…

Whosoever Includes You - Part 2 of 2
What if your "goodness" is really wickedness? When Jesus confronts you and me, He requires that we give up something. If you know you're a sinner, then you know what that something is. But if you thi…

Whosoever Includes You - Part 1 of 2
The religious people missed the door to heaven. The heathen said, "Well, here it is." It's impossible to overstate the paradox that Paul reveals in Romans 10. The Jews had been given knowledge, but t…

Responsible Human Choices Within A Sovereign Plan - Part 2 - Part 1 of 2
A lot of people come away from Romans 9 with weird ideas. If an atheist accuses God of wickedness, that's one thing. When a Christian makes the Holy One the author of evil, something has gone very wr…
