 (Intro & Bio) - THE RIGHT WORD© with Brother Scott :
Start here first ... if you want to know what is important to know about me and why I write and speak weekly the things that I do! Except for my siblings and other relatives who call me by my first name (withheld!), I am known by all others as either Scott Riaubia or Brother Scott. The name originates from Lithuania (makes me wonder if that’s why my last name ends in “ia”).
I was born in 1955 on a day when the country puts up our stars and stripes in June. I am a red-blooded American male, father and grandfather, and have been married to my bride of 42 years. I am a military veteran of the Viet Nam era, although not a U.S Army combat veteran. After leaving military service I spent the next 27 years working for some of the largest corporations in America, generally in financial services in one way or another.  (Apr 12 2026) - “THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR FAITH”
PORTERVILLE, CA -- Jesus made it abundantly clear that His followers are to pray and to pray often, and in this passage († Luke 18), Jesus connects prayer (v. 1) with the sustainability of one’s faith (v. 8). Yes, († Romans 10:17) tells us that “faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God” but prayer is also about hearing in real-time the word of God to our lives as well, as needed this can be day-by-day from His Spirit within. Paul also makes the point that we are to pray without ceasing, and Peter, James and Jude urge us to pray. In Luke’s book of the Acts of the Apostles, he mentions prayer some 27 times. (Apr 05 2026) - “COMPROMISE KILLS FAITH” {#2}
PORTERVILLE, CA -- We are discussing the means whereby in the times we live in, our compromising on spiritual matters will kill our faith in God, [faith] which is how we receive forgiveness, cleansing from our sins, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the promise of eternal life in the realm of God. Faith is that important! From part one you should have heard this loud and clear: Not reading God’s written Word regularly (even daily) with your spiritual ears and eyes paying attention, [not reading it] is compromise and sets one’s feet on the pathway leading in the direction of killing faith in God. (Mar 29 2026) - “COMPROMISE KILLS FAITH” {#1}
PORTERVILLE, CA -- When your time and mine on the earth is over, we must be found true to the commands of God’s Word for the best outcome when we stand before Jesus. The areas that are highest on my list, which is why I speak to them regularly, are personal holiness (being clean of sin before God) and a genuine faith and trust in Him and His written Word. These two things especially are among the highest works of righteousness through Christ in my life and all His true followers. We’ve been talking about both issues over these last many weeks and this new set of discussions continues along the same lines. (Mar 22 2026) - “LOVE OF THE TRUTH” {#2}
PORTERVILLE, CA -- I put these passages at († 2 Thessalonians 2) and († Luke 18) together in these discussions about having “the love of the truth” for these two reasons: They both directly relate to the end times in which we are living and they are both symbiotic. Things that exist in symbiosis mean they have a relationship mutually beneficial to each other where both symbiotes contribute to the other’s subsistence; in short, they live together helping each other. You have no doubt heard the question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg? (Mar 15 2026) - “LOVE OF THE TRUTH”
PORTERVILLE, CA -- For a couple weeks we are going to test ourselves against the end-times phrase that the Apostle Paul uses: The love of the truth. What does it mean? What does love of the truth do for us and what are the consequences of “receiving not the love of the truth”? We are alerted to this as professing Christians along with the related challenge that we be found having faith when Jesus returns—but the issue of “truth” is also God’s prophetic warning to the world that now is, in view of its sinful ways. (Mar 08 2026) - “DYING FOR TO LIVE” {#4}
PORTERVILLE, CA -- In part three of this series, we looked closely at how separating yourself from any love you have for the world and its things was a very important part of beginning to overcoming sin in your life. Before we move into the second area that must be dealt with at the cross for the freedom from sinning, we will refer to just a few more of the bible’s passages written for the benefit of followers of Jesus—passages that reinforce our need to sever all spiritual distractions and adulterous interactions with the world. (Mar 01 2026) - “DYING FOR TO LIVE” {#3}
PORTERVILLE, CA -- Near the end of our second part of this series, I concluded saying this; let me remind you: “As a significant part of the whole solution given to us by the Lord to stop sinning, the Word reveals two areas that must be recognized as the sources of our temptations and sin, which are (1) the world and (2) the passions and uncleanness of our own fallen nature. If a Christian is willing to begin getting victory over his or her spiritual laziness and the adulteries of believers with the world, in my experience, the easier of these two to get free of are the things of the world.” (Feb 22 2026) - “DYING FOR TO LIVE” {#2}
PORTERVILLE, CA -- Our subject is the steps needed to have victory over our sin and especially habitual sinfulness—those things that are sin that we don’t want to do but find that on our own by our own strong willingness we do not have the power to not sin († Romans 7:15+). The reason we cannot find victory over our sin is because we are ignorant of what the Word has to say about how to deal with our sin and or our unwillingness to do what the Bible says is needed to stop sinning. Preachers and teachers today ignore the subject for two reasons—they themselves continue in their own sin not knowing or not caring what the Word commands and how ... (Feb 15 2026) - “DYING FOR TO LIVE”
PORTERVILLE, CA -- Are you having trouble getting the victory over sin in your life? Have you tried and tried to obey the commands of God’s Word and stop your sinning but have failed? The solution to this problem is found by first understanding the fact that your sinful nature is still alive within you and has not been taken to the cross to die. For victory over your sin you must be “all in” by your dedication before God to do all that it requires of you to overcome the sinful tendencies of your flesh. If you will carefully listen to what I will be sharing in these couple weeks or so and will follow-through with the course of action that I lay out from the Holy Scriptures ... |
