The New Year’s Prayers of Matthew Henry

By Scott Pauley

We know Matthew Henry as a man of the Word. His expositions of Scripture continue to help generations of Bible students. But it is the prayers of a man that truly reveal his heart. The spiritual insight that he demonstrated in his published commentaries was cultivated in the secret place of communion with God. 4 Lessons from the Prayer Life of Matthew Henry  Matthew Henry recorded many of his deepest prayers and thoughts in a personal diary. Below are four…

Finding Your Way In Uncharted Territory: 10 Principles for a New Year

By Scott Pauley

You Have Not Passed This Way Before. In Joshua 3, the people of God are on the brink of a new season. They are on the verge of a new day. A new chapter in their story was unfolding. If God lets us live, and Jesus tarries His coming, we too are on the brink of a new season. We are on the verge of a New Year. New battles, yet new victories will come. New challenges and new blessings.…

Remembering and Rejoicing: Reflections on Awake 25

By Scott Pauley

“Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father” (1 Thessalonians 1:3). Memories sometimes magnify the good of past days. At other times, they can diminish what has been enjoyed. But when those memories are rooted in the reality of what God did through His people, they are wonderful – good for our souls and glorifying to our God. It was…

Journey Through Job

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Job The oldest book of the Bible is not the book of Genesis. Genesis goes back to the very beginning, no doubt, but the oldest book of the Bible predates the writing of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible), and that is the Book of Job. It is an interesting book, because it deals with the oldest issue in the world, and that is the problems that human beings deal with. “Man that is born…

Christ in Christmas?

By Scott Pauley

As I write these words, I am sitting in my study at home watching snow fall gently on the already blanketed ground outside. I can hear the familiar strain of Bing Crosby’s voice singing “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” and for the first time this year, I am beginning to feel what many call the Christmas spirit. The sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas are everywhere as we approach December 25. All About Jesus Over the last…

Journey Through Joshua

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Joshua Are you living the victorious Christian life today? That is God’s will for every one of His children — not for some of us, but for all of us. Charles Spurgeon said, “There is a point of grace as much above the ordinary Christian as the ordinary Christian is above the world.” There are a lot of ordinary Christians, and so many of them are falling short of the victory, joy, fullness, and blessing that God intends…

Journey through 1 John

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through 1 John Five men in the New Testament bear the name John. The name means “Jehovah is gracious,” but one of them seems to stand head and shoulders above all the rest. Before he became a disciple, he was a fisherman. He was actually a cousin of the Lord Jesus Christ. Their mothers were sisters, and he became a part of the inner circle of disciples during Christ’s earthly ministry. He is known as the “Beloved Disciple” or,…

Journey through Haggai

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Haggai There seems to be a lot of weeping when you read through the Old Testament prophets. And yet, there is a prophet whose name means ‘festive’ — literally, his name means ‘celebration.’ And there is a celebration in the book. We now begin our journey through Haggai. Let us examine this little book and see what there was to celebrate in Haggai’s life and ministry. Listen: Journeying through Haggai Overview of Haggai Haggai was one of the…

Journey Through Micah

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Micah In the 1950s, the Quakers coined an expression. Maybe you have heard it: “speaking truth to power.” We sometimes hear this phrase in different contexts, such as in the news. Perhaps you have heard that phrase recently. It is interesting how things come back around. There is a resurgence of certain ideas and expressions, such as speaking truth to power. Sometimes that must be done in the spiritual realm. That is exactly what the prophet Micah was…

A Fruitful Winter

By Scott Pauley

Today is the first day of the winter season, according to meteorologists who track winter weather from December through February. The official first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere is later this month. At 10:03 a.m. on December 21, the North Pole will tilt to its farthest point from the sun, making it the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Where we live, the first snow came weeks ago, and the winter chill has already set…

A Thanksgiving Message from Mattaniah

By Scott Pauley

This week, I have been reading again through the Old Testament historical record of Nehemiah. It is full of names and genealogies, and I am learning to pay attention to the lesser-known characters of Scripture. They often hold a much-needed message for us all. Mattaniah was such a man. Mattaniah in the Book of Nehemiah  His name means “gift of Yahweh.” While all children are a gift from God (Psalm 127:3), some people are indeed a special gift from God…

Journey Though Philemon

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Philemon It only takes up one page in our New Testament, yet it is quite a story. In our journey through Scripture, we come now to the letter of Philemon. It only has 25 verses, containing 445 words. It is the shortest letter the Apostle Paul ever wrote, and it has been called a model letter written by a master of letter writing. Listen: Journeying through Philemon Summary of Philemon Philemon is an interesting letter with a unique…

45 Days of Praise

By Scott Pauley

The coming holiday season of Thanksgiving and Christmas reminds us of both the goodness and grace of God. Turkeys and trees, family and festivities, gatherings and gifts are all peripheral to the praise of the Lord. There are only 45 days left in this year. No doubt, they will be busy days filled with the rush of holiday happenings. But they should be filled with something else: praise. Judah and Jesus The first mention of praise in Scripture is in…

Journey Through Numbers

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Numbers In our journey through Scripture, we have now come to a most interesting book in the Old Testament, the Book of Numbers. Interestingly enough, of all of the books in Scripture, this book truly is the book of the journey. It covers the 40-year wanderings of the children of Israel through the wilderness. If ever there was a book that dealt with the travels of life, it is the Book of Numbers. Listen: Journeying through Numbers Author…

Lessons Learned At the Funeral

By Scott Pauley

Editor’s Note: This article is a modified transcript of a recent message by Scott Pauley. The timeframe was soon after the public assassination of Charlie Kirk. In it, Scott delves into the eternal truths of Ecclesiastes 7. We trust it will stir and encourage your heart.  Lessons Learned At the Funeral  Ecclesiastes is a book about life. Specifically, it is a book about life lived apart from God. Life apart from God is pointless. In the words of Solomon, it…

Journey Through Leviticus

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Leviticus A Christian lady was once asked if she had ever read the Bible all the way through. Her response was brutally honest, and frankly, if most of us were honest, we would have to say the same thing. She responded that she had started three times, that she had enjoyed Genesis very much and even Exodus, but she had gotten bogged down in what she called the dull reading of Leviticus. I hope you do not feel…

Journey Through 2 Corinthians

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through 2 Corinthians Many years ago, William Burns was asked, “Are you ready to preach?” His answer: “Not yet. I have not yet got a morsel for myself.” Burns understood that his own soul must be fed if he was to pass the bread on to anyone else. Keep that account in mind as we journey through 2 Corinthians. Listen: Journeying through 2 Corinthians Overview of 2 Corinthians As a preacher and teacher of the Word of God, 2…

When You Die, What Will Live On?

By Scott Pauley

It was a sunny, crisp fall day when Tammy and I visited the Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Our trip to the historic cemetery was purposeful – to visit the grave of the prolific songwriter Fanny Crosby. Fanny was the blind author who penned more than 3,000 hymns and poems that are still used in churches around the world. Her story is a story of faith and the grace of God. In a very old section of the cemetery,…

Journey Through Jonah

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Jonah Jonah is the one Old Testament minor prophet that almost every child in Sunday School knows. This is the one book that if I asked, “Tell me everything you know about Jonah”, most people could tell me at least the general story they know of that great fish that swallowed Jonah. However, the greatest miracle in the Book of Jonah is not the great fish. The greatest miracle in the book is the great revival that God…

10 Things to Do When Everything Changes

By Scott Pauley

When Everything Changes… Sometimes the straightest line between A and B is not the route God chooses for us. His ways and thoughts truly are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). At times we chart the course and set off toward the destination, only to see God unexpectedly change our direction. If you have been there you know what I am talking about. We wonder what to do when everything changes. At these times life can be more than a little…

Family Devotions and Spiritual Awakenings

By Scott Pauley

“I will get married in a few months. What advice do you have for me?” Working with hundreds of college students, these are words I have heard many times. As I heard them again recently, my mind filled with so many truths that others have passed on to me and my wife. Too many to remember. Too many to relay in one conversation. But there was one… One truth that seemed to rise above all of the rest. One lesson…

Journey through Ephesians

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Ephesians “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Those are the profound words from Ephesians 2:8-9. In this overview, we journey through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Listen: Journeying through Ephesians Overview of Ephesians Some people call Ephesians the most impersonal of Paul’s letters. In other words, it does not deal with lots of personal things about his…

Journey Through Deuteronomy

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Deuteronomy In our journey through the Word of God, we have come to the last stop that Moses is allowed to make with us. While his name appears at other places in Scripture as we read of his life and the choices he made, this is the final book that Moses wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It was written just before he went to be with God. Deuteronomy is the last book of the Pentateuch.…

Believe

By Scott Pauley

My Bible word for the year has been the powerful imperative: Believe! In that one word, there is both a principle and a promise. The One who commands us to believe Him assures us that He is trustworthy. Indeed, all year, He has been teaching me this glorious truth in a thousand different ways. A STUDY OF HEBREWS 11 This week, we begin a brand new ETJ podcast series through the great “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11. This hallway…

Journey Through Jeremiah

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Jeremiah The prophet we meet today in our journey is Jeremiah, whose name means “Jehovah appoints.” His book was written about 100 years after the prophet Isaiah. He is known as the “weeping prophet.” Some refer to him as the prophet of the broken heart. He was a lonely man. As a matter of fact, he is the only man in the Bible who was specifically told not to marry. He saw no lasting reform, and few responded…
