Missions Message for You – Listen Now
Saturday, February 26th, 2011What’s God Thinking?
Friday, February 18th, 2011A mother peeked her head into her newborn’s room and caught a quiet glimpse of her husband gazing at the crib in retrospective thought. She stopped and leaned her head against the doorpost, soaking in the tender scene.
Finally breaking the silence, she whispered her question, “Whatcha thinking about, Hon?”

Look Around Holds Great Message for Troubled Times
Monday, March 16th, 2009The song “Look Around” by Christian Country band and good friends of mine, the Akins Band, really gives some good perspective for troubled times. They performed where I was preaching recently at Liberty Baptist Church in Dalton, GA.
Even if you don’t like country music, you can appreciate the message in this song.
A Law That Cannot Be Broken
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005There are all sorts of things I could teach, verbally ruminate or otherwise “vent” about in this newsletter. As rarely as we put out one of these little circulars, believe me, I’ve got a lot stored up I’d like to write about.
Instead, I’d like to talk about an ever-present Truth that I just can’t get past. I am consistently being reminded of it. A truth that regardless of age, ethnicity, gender or religion, we all will be reminded of until time is no more. A truth that we can ignore but not erase. A truth that will not let us go. A truth that we can’t get past first four words of the Bible with seeing. That is, that everything begins and ends with God.
Q&A: What is the True Sabbath?
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005Hey Scott,
I have a question that has been troubling me for some time and I haven’t yet gotten an answer that would satisfy. The question deals with the Sabbath. I have been told the reason that most Christians do not keep the Sabbath is: 1) We are no longer under the law. 2) Christ arose on the first day. As I travel I get to hear a lot of various preaching. Some I agree with and some I turn off. On occasion, I’ll hear a 7th day message and every time I’m compelled to listen. I come home and look at the scriptures myself only to find the scripture backing them up.
Here are some things I have noticed or have been pointed out
1) Only one commandment begins with the word “Remember”.
2) From Adam and Eve to the Apostle all kept the Sabbath.
3) Even prophesy speaks of the importance. Isaiah 66:23-24
4) Jesus kept the Sabbath even in his death.
Q&A: God’s Choice for My Mate
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005Dear Scott,
I am a Christian single and I’m weary of the dating scene and discouraged by the prospects. My question is this: Do you believe we have a specific soul-mate chosen for us by God or do you believe there are a lots of “fish” in the proverbial “sea” that are within God’s will but that the choice is ultimately up to us?
Desiring the Best
Phoenix, AR
Amazed by Amazing Grace!
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005My mind goes back from time to time to a two-week mission trip I took to the poverty-stricken country of Haiti. I remember the culture shock of the absolute absence of abundance. Growing up in a comfortable, middle-class home I had heard of poverty, and even thought I had seen it, but I realized my misinformation in the capital of desolation, Haiti. To be sure, when I returned to my home in America, I had a new perspective entirely on the material blessings God had wrought in my life. I learned that unless I see true poverty, I’ll forget how “rich” I am.
It is this same sense concerning the material blessings in my life that God has recently worked concerning the spiritual blessings in my life. As I have been studying and preparing some old-fashioned Gospel messages and refreshing my contemplation of the Old Old Story, I find myself deeply moved, even shaken within, as if my introduction to Christ and the Cross was a recent one. I was saved at the tender age of six and grew up with Jesus. And in the same way that I took so much of my material blessing for granted before Haiti, it has been easy for me to take my spiritual blessings in Christ for granted as well, seeing as how I grew up with an abundance of both.
