Why the Bible?

December 9, 2016 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

Every year I read through the Bible or a large section of it.  Every few years I will read in a suggested chronological order, that is reading in the supposed order of events, not in book-chapter-verse order. Reading the Bible this way gives the story a narrative flow that we sometimes miss if we are not … Continue reading Why the Bible?

Bible Malapropisms – one more time

August 6, 2015August 6, 2015 / Scott McCown / 4 Comments

Monday we looked at five Bible Malapropisms. Today we look at the last four in my list.  I am sure there are more. God moves in a mysterious way. William Cowper wrote this in one of his last hymns in 1774. He based the thought on his recollections of his life and how he saw … Continue reading Bible Malapropisms – one more time

Quite a few people asked for "A Bible's Diary" from Sunday morning's sermon. Every place I found it online listed it as author unknown (if anyone know whom the author is, please let me know so I can give credit). Thank you to whomever wrote it.

Thirteen Questions and Answers

December 7, 2012 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

Thirteen Questions: Someone designed these questions to trap members of the Lord’s Church to second guess their allegiance to the church as the Body of Christ.  The author of the questions challenges "Campbellite" preachers and elders to not talk around them but answer them directly.  These questions are online and I first saw them about … Continue reading Thirteen Questions and Answers

How to Study the Bible Pt 2: Context

December 6, 2012 / Scott McCown / 8 Comments

"Context is key."  I can still hear my instructors and professors in my Bible classes at Faulkner University saying that over and over and over.  They are right, "Context is key!"  Anyone can take a single verse or a collection of verses from the Bible and make a point.  The point or lesson may or … Continue reading How to Study the Bible Pt 2: Context

This year our congregation at Parrish accepted the challenge to read through the Bible chronologically.  That is that we are reading in the order of events not necessarily in chapter and book order.  Reading this way gives the story a narrative flow that we sometimes miss, if we not aware of the overall story-line.  One … Continue reading Reading the Bible
