A man was sleeping one night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared.

The Lord told the man He had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might.

So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun-up to sun-down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the rock, pushing with all his might.

Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain. Since the man was showing discouragement, Satan decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind.

'You have been pushing against that rock for a long time and it hasn't moved.'

Whenever someone makes a donation to help AllWorship broadcast free Christian music around the world, we give them a token of our appreciation: the ability to listen to our premium stream. There is a much higher quality sound on the premium stream. And we have recently made a significant change on the premium stream. We have eliminated any talking after you log on, so you just hear music. The programming flows from one great song to another, with no interruptions. If you'd like to help keep our ministry on the air, you can do so here.

AllWorship is available on your mobile devices! With our free Apple and Android apps, you can listen to all four of your favorite AllWorship streams directly on your mobile phone.

If you've got an iPhone or iPad, the AllWorship app is available at the App Store. (We have recently upgraded the delivery system of this app, so if you've previously downloaded the app, you may want to update the app.)

If you've got an Android device, our app can be downloaded at Google Play.

Some encouraging emails we received in May from our listeners around the world:

Comments: I will still be donating from time to time because I believe in the mission of what you do and I do know the upkeep is expensive. There are a lot of Christian stations out there, but I like the old and new of what you play, and it touches the heart of folks when needed most, as it did for me.
