The Power of Story

By Scott Pauley

Everyone Loves A Good Story Communicators in every field have come to understand the significance of stories. During one of my busy travel days, I sat down on an American Airlines flight and picked up a copy of their monthly magazine. The editor’s comments were shown under the title: “The Power of Story.” Everybody loves a good story. Some preachers and teachers are known as storytellers. This should never be our goal. Our mission is to be truth-tellers. However, learning…

Journey Through Lamentations

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Lamentations The old radio commentator, Paul Harvey, could tell a story like no one could tell a story. And then, right in the middle of it, he would say, “And now for the rest of the story.” The book we have come to on our journey today is just that: it is the rest of the story. Our previous journey was through Jeremiah, and now it is time to journey through Lamentations. Listen: Journeying through Lamentations Overview of…

7 Suggestions for Dealing with the Winter “Blues”

By Scott Pauley

Winter brings with it the beauty of fresh falling snow…and sometimes the drudgery of shorter days and cold nights. As a child, I loved winter and the snow days that inevitably accompanied that season. I still love winter and thrill at the sight of a good snow, but the thrill seems to wear off faster now than the snow melts! Yesterday, my dad brought his tractor by the house to help remove from our driveway the last vestiges of recent…

Journey Through Song of Solomon

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Song of Solomon The Bible is the greatest love story on earth. There is no love story like the story of God’s love for us. In the Bible, one book stands out above all others as a book primarily about love: the Song of Solomon. We discover much about God and His love for us as we journey through Song of Solomon.  Listen: Journeying through Song of Solomon Overview of Song of Solomon You will remember that Solomon…

Journey Through Proverbs

By Scott Pauley

 Journey Through Proverbs Many years ago, someone told me, “A proverb a day keeps the devil away.” While I am not sure that is entirely true, I do believe a proverb a day helps you know what to do when the devil comes around. My friend, the truth is we all need wisdom for living, and as we journey through Proverbs, we will find that is what this book, and the Old Testament, are all about. The Book of Proverbs…

Journey Through 2 Chronicles

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through 2 Chronicles Our journey now takes us through 2 Chronicles. We view life in terms ofthe past, the present, and the future. With God, there is no past, present, or future. He transcends time. God is the I AM. The Lord is the Great Eternal. While we are bound by time, He is not. The beautiful truth for us is that God is the God of the past, the God of the present, and the God of the…

12 Ways to Make the Most of Online Meetings

By Scott Pauley

12 Ways to Make the Most of Online Meetings About 30 states will be grappling with the effects of a major winter storm in the next few days. We make our home in the mountains of West Virginia, and for many who live in regions like ours, this is just a way of life for a few months each year. But serious weather conditions can cause disruption to churches gathering safely. This is different in every area, and I pray…

Journey Through 1 Chronicles

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through 1 Chronicles The Book of 1 Chronicles chronicles for us perhaps the longest span of any book of the Bible. For example, the first word of Chronicles is Adam. It goes all the way back to the very beginning, and it covers 3600 years. There are 1500 names in the first nine chapters of 1 Chronicles. Sometimes people get bogged down in them, and they think, “Why all these names and why all these genealogies?” In the New…

Denominationalism is Dying

By Scott Pauley

CBS News has reported several times in recent months on the rise of nondenominational churches. They cite professor and researcher Ryan Burge, who records that more American adults than ever now identify as non-denominational, more than all mainline denominations together. There are more people connected to nondenominational churches than the two largest Protestant denominations – the Southern Baptist Convention and the United Methodist Church – combined! Less than 3% of Americans attended nondenominational churches in 1972. Today it is 14%.…

Journey through 1 Peter

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through 1 Peter In the United States, we know very little about real persecution. Yet, around the world, at this very present hour, millions of believers are suffering and even dying for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps you have suffered for your faith. Yet, this is nothing new. Persecution has always been connected with the gospel. The Epistles of 1 and 2 Peter were written to persecuted believers, Hebrew Christians. These Jews had been dispersed because…

Journey Through Isaiah

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Isaiah What if I could show you one book of the Bible that is, in a very real sense, the Bible in miniature, a microcosm of the entire Bible? That is exactly what we have come to in our journey through Scripture — to the amazing Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. Listen: Journeying through Isaiah Overview of Isaiah There are many parallels between the book of Isaiah and the whole of Scripture. For example, there are…

10 Things God Has Taught Me In the First 10 Years of Evangelism

By Scott Pauley

A decade of life seems to go so quickly, even more so when you are in itinerant work. “Just passing through” becomes a living reality! Ten years ago this month, my family and I entered into full-time evangelism. After two decades in the same local church ministry, God led us to take a step of faith and give ourselves entirely to the work of the evangelist. It has been amazing to watch the Lord work and to labor with so…

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…
