Journey Through Daniel

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Daniel Our journey through Scripture takes us to the final book of the major prophets. It is interesting because it is a very brief book. We will journey through Daniel. Of the five major prophets, Daniel is probably the book with which you are the most familiar. For example, you know the story of Daniel in the lion’s den, where Daniel was punished for defying the king’s law and praying. You know the story of the Hebrew boys…

Journey through Zechariah

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Zechariah The Minor Prophets, for the most part, are fairly brief. That is why they are referred to as Minor Prophets. And yet, the prophet we come to today is the longest of the Minor Prophets. His name is Zechariah. His name actually means the one Jehovah remembers. Aren’t you glad God has promised never to forget you? He remembers you today. I hope you will remember him. Let us journey through Zechariah and learn what God has…

Make Every Day Count

By Scott Pauley

Our Lives are a Vapor Winter can be a strange time in Beckley, West Virginia. Snow one hour…sunshine the next. One recent morning, I awoke to see a thick, freezing fog. The Lord reminded me of one of the most powerful verses in Scripture, a reminder to make every day count: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away”…

Journey Through Habakkuk

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Habakkuk Every generation is different, yet the need of every generation is the same. Every generation needs a spiritual revival in their generation. I hope your heart today is hungry to see a great spiritual awakening in your own life and your family, in your church, and in our world. Because that is the desperate need of this hour. And it was the desperate need, in Habakkuk’s hour as well. We will discover this need as we journey…

One at a Time

By Scott Pauley

One at a Time Through the years, I have met many interesting people on airplanes. Everyone has a story, and a simple conversation with a stranger can be memorable. I have tried to pray as I board a flight that God would put me next to the person He wants me to get acquainted with. Often, it has allowed me to minister in some way. One week God put someone next to me to minister to me. Across the aisle…

Journey Through Malachi

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Malachi Our journey through Scripture has brought us to the last stop in the Old Testament. We have come to the final Old Testament book, the prophet Malachi. This was a man who was chosen by God at the end of the Old Testament era to give God’s final great message before the 400 silent years. His name means Jehovah’s Messenger. The word messenger is actually used three times in this book, and he was just that. He…

Journey through Nahum

By Scott Pauley

 Journey Through Nahum Two books of the Bible deal with Nineveh. The first is famous: The Book of Jonah. Two books later, a second prophet deals with the same city and the very same sins. The record is found in the little book of Nahum. Let us journey through Nahum, discover what was happening in Nineveh, and the eternal truths God is teaching through this book. Listen: Journeying through Nahum Overview of Nahum Nahum was from Judah. His name is…

Learning from the Ultimate Traveler

By Scott Pauley

Learning from the Ultimate Traveler As many of you know, we spend a good deal of time on the road. Another frequent traveler, the Apostle Paul, once wrote, “all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21-22). Traveling is a privilege and an opportunity to grow. F.B. Meyer observed that everything is God’s classroom and serves to teach me something. I learn something on every journey and, with Christ, it is the adventure of a lifetime. Truths about Travel that God is Teaching…

Announcing the Legacy Archives

By Scott Pauley

At Enjoying the Journey, we are truly thankful for the rich heritage of Bible teaching and preaching that has been passed down to us. Christians must believe, apply, and minister the Word of God in the present day, but that is best done with an appreciation for those who stood for truth in previous generations. God’s people have been handed a rich heritage that must not be forgotten. Isaiah 54:17 speaks of “the heritage of the servants of the LORD.”…

Journey Through Ezekiel

By Scott Pauley

Journey Through Ezekiel How much do you know about the Book of Ezekiel? That is one of the books of the Bible, and it is probably in the part of your Old Testament where the pages still stick together. When you even mention the name Ezekiel, people get a little scared because they think, “I am not that familiar with that book.” If they are familiar with it, they often think, “Well, Ezekiel is that really hard book that has…

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…
