Has anyone ever questioned your faith using "science?" What about the 6 days of Creation, Where do the Dinosaurs fit into creation, How did all of the animal fit on the ark? There is scientific evidence to defend your faith in God's creation of the world. Creation Ministries International has material to help you share this information with your friends, family, and anyone else you that wants to come against the Bible's description of creation.

After Scott was converted to Christ at the age of 19, he received a B.A. in Religious Studies from Oregon State University. His education still left him with doubts regarding the inconsistencies between evolution, science, world history, and a straight-forward reading of the Bible.

Years later, a friend who was a paleontologist demonstrated to him how scientific evidence actually makes more sense when interpreted within the clear context of the Bible's account of history. This, along with Creation magazine, ignited a blaze in Scott to seek answers to the nagging doubts that plagued him. Once he realized that science and the Bible were not at odds with each other, he experienced a sustained joy, a renewed commitment to the Word of God, as well as a bold desire to share this life-changing message with others.

Scott now uses this conviction to impact our culture with easy-to-understand presentations that uphold the authority of God's Word and is one of CMI–US’s most effective and popular speakers. Scott also desires to challenge others to equip themselves to be ready with answers (1 Peter 3:15) to impact their world.

Before becoming a speaker for CMI, Scott was the senior executive for one of the largest construction firms in Northern California. This helped equip him for his current role as CMI–US’s Chief Operating Officer (COO). Scott also served in ministry for over 25 years as a youth pastor, teacher, speaker, and key leader in a church plant. In a volunteer capacity, Scott was also CMI’s West Coast speaker and representative. Scott and his wife Lisa have 4 adult children,

Forgiven For Real

July 21, 2019 • James Grizzle

It's one thing to live as a slave not knowing that you are free. It's another thing to live as a slave knowing that you are free. Joseph forgave his brother, but they continued to live with the guilt of selling him into slavery. God used this story for good and was able to paint an elaborate picture of how He can use the bad in our lives for our own good. Our past is forgiven! Will you accept the forgiveness or will you continue to live as a slave knowing that you have been freed? Pastor James has been a part of Grace Church since 1997. Both James and his wife Nellie graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College. He served at Grace from 2002 to 2015, when the Lord called James and his family to Galveston, TX to start Calvary Galveston. James and Nellie have been married for over 18 years and they have 4 children. James loves traveling, reading, and all sports, especially surfing and paddleboarding.

All Things New

July 10, 2019 • Quint Betts

There will be a day when God will make ALL things new. There will be a New Heaven and a New Earth, and there will be a New Jerusalem. But before the new can come the old must pass away. God will get rid of death, sorrow, and pain for those who believe in the saving grace of the blood of Jesus. Those who do not accept this salvation will be cast into Hell to die eternally. Be an overcomer and not a coward! Pastor Quint Betts accepted the Lord in 1990 and has been serving the Lord ever since. He is originally from Riverside, California and married Yolanda in 1995. They have 3 children, Mephibosheth, Grace, and Joshua. Quint attended the School of Ministry at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in 2007 – 2009. The Lord called Quint and his family to Clovis, NM in 2010. He is the Senior Pastor at Calvary Chapel Clovis.

Temple Training

July 14, 2019 • Doug M. Gehm

The Jews were sent back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple, but all they did was make excuses and those excuses turned to compromises. Haggai came to tell them to "put their heart on the path," and get the job done! God has a purpose for you as His temple. Put your heart on the path (Consider your ways), stop making excuses, and get your job done. Pastor Doug has been on staff since September 2005. He currently oversees all aspects of ministry at Grace. Doug attended and graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College in California, England, and Spain. He is married to Kimberly and they are blessed with four children. Doug enjoys reading, cold weather, and sports.
