Why You Should Use Gospel Tracts

Gospel literature is one means of communicating the message of Christ to great numbers of people one at a time. Imagine how many people could be reached if every believer simply carried tracts and gave them out as they went about their normal routines! The power of the literature is not in the words of…

Why this Week has been So Special

By Scott Pauley

Today is a day for rest and reflection after a very busy week. We have just concluded our annual Baptist Friends Conference. This is always a special time of reunion with friends and wonderful preaching. This year was special. I cannot remember a meeting where the Lord’s presence was so strong. Day after day and…

Why I Believe in Local Church Youth Ministry

By Scott Pauley

Why I Believe in Local Church Youth Ministry For the last twenty years I have had the joy to be involved in youth ministry in some way. It is the passion of my life to point another generation to the Lord Jesus and His truth. I am more convinced than I have ever been that…

Why I Am Doing What I Am Doing

By Scott Pauley

Frequently I am asked if I plan to continue in evangelism, if I want to pastor, or if I miss what I did in the past. They are good questions that all have the same answer. I love what God has given me to do and plan to do it as long as God desires.…

Who Was Patrick?

By Scott Pauley

People around the world celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with little thought of the man for which the day is named. In fact, much of what is associated with Patrick is based on falsehoods… Patrick was not Irish – he was Scottish. He was not a canonized “Saint” of the church, but he was a believer…

What’s Your Story?

By Scott Pauley

Everybody has one. A story that is. My story is not yours and yours is not mine. The details vary – except for one thing. God is the Author. If you have a story to tell it is really just the story of what the Lord has done for you. Most often we refer to…

What the “Cancel Culture” Can’t Touch

By Scott Pauley

The only reason people have to knowingly promote a lie is that, for some reason, they are afraid of the truth. God’s people never have to fear the truth! Truth sets you free (John 8:32). In today’s society it is no longer sufficient to disagree or debate – if you don’t like the person or…

What Is Going On In Our Schools?

By Scott Pauley

This generation needs the good news of Jesus Christ! Young people are growing up in a world of violence and hate. Only the love of God can make the difference. In the past months we have seen repeated shootings on school campuses. Students are hurting. Families are afraid. Bullying is on the rise. Kids are…

What I Observed From A Seasoned Soulwinner

By Scott Pauley

On Tuesday a dear man in the church where I was preaching asked if we could go witnessing together. It was such a privilege to listen to him share Christ with holy enthusiasm. He has been doing it for over half a century. I asked him how he started sharing his faith. He said that…

What I Have Learned in My First Year of Evangelism

By Scott Pauley

What I Have Learned in My First Year of Evangelism It has been a privilege this week to take part in a special conference on revival and evangelism. I have enjoyed the fellowship with a number of wonderful evangelists and pastors, and have been honored to labor alongside men who have been in this work for…

What Can We Do?

By Scott Pauley

The bad news and news of bad people seem to keep piling up. Like many of you, I am sickened this week by the blatant rebellion in our country against what is true and good and decent. Our beloved nation is quickly moving toward the judgment of God. We need a spiritual awakening! One of…

The work of evangelism is not just for evangelists. In fact, most evangelism will never be done within the confines of a church building or in the structure of an evangelistic crusade. The gospel is most effective one on one...just like Jesus deals with every sinner. Evangelism is one recipient of the good news sharing that good news with someone else. The word evangelism is rooted in the word "evangel," literally, good news! The evangelist is not the message; he simply carries it. The evangelist is not to receive the praise; only the Evangel, Jesus Christ, is worthy of glory. We need more Evangelists.

We Need More Evangelists!

By Scott Pauley

We do not need more sermonizers, organizers, and motivators. We need more evangelists. Not just the kind who travel from place to place preaching in meetings. Our world is in desperate need for gospel consumed, Spirit-controlled, eternity conscious believers. People passionate about reaching souls for the Lord Jesus Christ. Evangelists. The Work of Evangelism The…

Three Weeks From Today!

By Scott Pauley

Preacher’s are engaged in the greatest work in the world. It is a work that will outlive this world! 1 Timothy 5:17 says, “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” Those who are engaged in such labor must also have times…

This Is Our Generation

By Scott Pauley

Last night I finished preaching in another youth conference. These are special meetings and more needed than ever. It was a privilege to have our daughter Morgan with me on this trip. Having teenagers of your own changes your whole perspective! As I looked at a sea of faces last night, hundreds of young men…

The Tombs of the Prophets

By John Buckner

“And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the…

The State of the Church

By Scott Pauley

Typically in February the President of the United States addresses a joint session of Congress and delivers the traditional “State of the Union.” This year’s address was much different. In a symbolic way, it reminds us that the state of our union is somewhat uncertain at this moment. There is always plenty of political maneuvering…

The Samaritan Temple

By John Buckner

The Samaritan Temple “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.” John 4:20-21 The Samaritan temple stood on Mount…
