As a nation, much of our great civic progress can be attributed to King’s unwavering conviction and his willingness to fight for the rights of all people. Dr. King was born in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1920s, just on the cusp of the Great Depression. As the son of a baptist minister, he grew up in the church, but Dr. King stated that the defining factor for his religious beliefs was the love that his family shared. Dr. King stated in his autobiography, “I have a mar- velous mother and father. I can hardly remember a time that they ever argued (my father happens to be the kind who just won’t argue) or had any great falling out.

To a cowboy there are a couple “Travelin’ Partners” that he must have: a good horse and a loyal dog. For the most part, a cowboy can make do if he has to with just those two Travelin’ Partners. No matter what wreck he gets in, a good horse will get him out. And no matter how bad he feels, or what’s broke, a good ol’ dog can make him smile. This was given to me at the graveside of a true cowboy. As the closing prayer was being said, in a cold drizzle, I looked out and there his horse and dog stood, staring at the wooden box that held their master’s body. Now, in, those two Travelin’ Partners who had gone as far as they could, God showed me the Trinity. The Father is the Master. The Son is the horse that hauled the sins of the world, and will come get us one day. The Holy Spirit is the dog. He will guide, guard and comfort along the trail of life. I pray this magazine makes the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit more reachable by folks in our culture, and helps unify His Body as we come to know one another better.

  • The Nazarene Cowboy Church Network (NCCN) Is Made up of Church Plants That Have Been Started to Reach out to the Western Heritage Culture
    The Nazarene Cowboy Church Network (NCCN) is made up of church plants that have been started to reach out to the western heritage culture. “Western heritage culture” encompasses several groups, and can include working cowboys, rodeo cowboys, cattle people, horse people, or cowboys at heart. Most wear boots, jeans, a cowboy hat, and listen to country music. They value honesty, integrity, and authenticity. The ones who will come desire truth and want it to be told to them straight and simply. Cowboy churches oftentimes meet in barns and arenas. NCCN plants have been started in Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Washington, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Arkansas. The Gospel is preached and baptisms are done in horse tanks.
