Dr. CB Scott has been a pastor and an administrator both at SBC seminaries and colleges. He is now a DOM in Kentucky. He was a key player in the early days of blogging. He is an ardent Auburn Tigers fan. War Eagle! Former VP Joe Biden said something at the end of the recent […]

Why are “professing” followers of Jesus not being a major part of the solution to our broken and divided American culture? I have been thinking a lot lately about where we have missed it over the years in training up believers to worship the person of King Jesus, and to delightfully be “all in” with […]

Most persons who read this article never met, or heard of my best friend over the past 33 years, Rev. Robert E. Fowler. I encourage you to read […]
