Jesus and the Average Joe

5 articles

On September 8, 1996, I was attending Iasis Christ Fellowship with my then fiance, Julie, when Pastor Johnny Square gave an alter call. I stood up. “You just set a lot of people free,” said Pastor Square.

I have never understood what he said, but somehow I have always believed that I need to share my often zig-zagged, sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating, walk with the Lord. I sin and fall short of the glory of God. I am no theologian. No Biblical scholar. Certainly no pastor. I’m just a guy – an Average Joe – who loves being loved by the Keeper of the Stars and who feels compelled to occasionally share that walk. I’ll do so here.

A little lower than God…

Kevin (Commissioner Kevin Ross) snagged some of those promo-gimmick-look-at-the-eclipse sun glasses yesterday. I am glad he did – we got to look at the eclipse. By and large, it looked like the photos you have seen smattered across social...

In transparency – my prayer life stinks. I try. I fail. My mind wanders and drifts. So I use an app. How many of us have the Bible app on our phones? It’s handy. There are daily prompts that feed us the verse of the day. That prompts us...

For almost 37 years I have made my living behind a radio microphone. Except for about three of those years that I spent as a political talk show host; they have all been as a – to use a readily understandable term that I despise – disc jockey. Side...

Listen to the ScottCast

My name is Scott James. For four decades, it has been my honor to have an ongoing conversation with the people of Colorado. As a radio personality, as a community advocate and leader, as an elected public servant, and as a friend I have come to know and love you. The Scott Cast will be filled with just my random thoughts - culture, society, spirituality, politics, and explanations of things I believe need explaining.

Looks like @RepDaveWilliams did more than take money from China, he learned their politics as well. This is NOT how we act in the Republican party. We believe the most important speech to protect is speech you don’t agree with!! Wuhan Dave doesn’t represent me. #Freedomofspeech

Sandra Fish is a fair; honest and respected reporter.
As a Republican I’m embarrassed by the GOP chair.
As a State Senator I’m stunned by the blatant disregard for our Constitution - and by a former Legislator no less. Disgusting.

This is a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.

My positions are centrist:
- Secure borders
- Safe & clean cities
- Don’t bankrupt America with spending
- Racism against any race is wrong
- No sterilization below age of consent

Is this right-wing?
