"Doing ministry on the Internet" What is PastorScott.com? I wish I had a simple answer. In some unclear ways, I find myself drawn to doing ministry on the Internet.
 To some extent, it is direct ministry; for instance, on the Alvin Church of the Nazarene web site you will find information on the terrific congregation I serve. At Sermon Pod Cast, there are links to many of my sermons in mp3 audio. You can even subscribe to them there. At Devotional Writing from Pastor Scott you will find my latest devotional blog entries, and right here at PastorScott.com you will find the archives of those devotional blogs. I also maintain General Writing from Pastor Scott as a place for occasional thoughts and comments. Finally, along the lines of direct ministry, I am the co-host of a radio program called Classic Gospel Southern Style . Ellis Manley and I present a weekly two hour program of great southern gospel from years gone by that is aired on a few stations around the country.  Often though, I find myself in the role of facilitator. I serve as site manager of NazNet, a wonderful place for fellowship with many forums and other helpful pages for Christians on the Internet. I am web master for KJIC, the Gospel Music Radio station for the Houston/Galveston area. Included in that ministry is live streaming audio of the programming of the station...people listen around the world! If you listen on Sunday afternoons or overnight, I am the DJ who is playing the music. I also designed the web site for the Alvin-Manvel Ministerial Alliance. I am Pastor Scott Cundiff. I am pleased to serve as pastor of the Church of the Nazarene in Alvin, Texas and, via the Internet to extend that ministry through devotional writing, audio ministry , Internet Radio , and ministry through others .
What is Pastor Scott.com ? It is me doing ministry on the Internet. Sometimes, I do projects for pay. Often, I do them simply because it is another way to advance the cause of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Pastor Scott.com is me helping Christians find their way on the Internet...or helping a friend install a new modem in their computer. |

Daily Devotional Writing from Pastor Scott
-
Daniel 7: The Old One sat down.
The Book of Daniel is clearly divided into two parts. The first half recounts for us stories of God's empowerment of and protection over the Hebrews who were taken into Babylon. The second half contains Daniel's reports of his visions and dreams concerning the future of the world. I think anyone would agree that the stories are more fun than the visions. However, we find in these six chapters of Daniel the Old Testament version of the Book of Revelation. When Daniel is tossed into the den of lions we read about it as a very personal account of faith and deliverance. Now, his visions of the flow of history are so broad in scope as to take our breath away. He sees kingdoms rise and fall as bewildering history unfolds before him. Theologically, I firmly believe the Lord has granted us free will and, because of that, the future is not predetermined in detail. However, I also believe that God is ushering the human race to a future he has already declared. In other words, we are free to cooperate with God or not, and, because of that, our future is not predestined. The big picture, though, is known to God because he has already determined to bring it to pass. When the Almighty decides to do something, well, he doesn't have to see the future to state that it will happen. In this specific vision, Daniel sees a series of future kingdoms appear, flourish, and then give way to the next. At one point he notes that in the midst of all the rising and falling that there is a fiery throne and on that throne sits the Ancient of Days. I love that picture. Kingdoms rise and fall, human history marches through time, and in the midst of it all we see God in his glory and authority. I don't claim to have all that great a handle on prophecy but I think I have this one figured out. Through it all, in it all, above it all: God is.
