New Book from Biblical Worldview Media: God's Plan for Civil Government

My first book is off to the publisher! God's Plan for Civil Government will be released on October 24. This book is for anyone who has ever wondered what God says about limited government, separation of church and state, and voting.

From the Introduction:
“According to Scripture, what should a civil government look like? How should it be structured? What should the state be permitted to do? What should the state not be permitted to do? The average public official cannot answer these questions. Far worse than that, the average Christian cannot answer these questions. For far too long, we have been ignorant of the biblical principles of civil government. Now is the time for that to change.

I should make it clear that I do not place emphasis upon civil government as if that is the most important thing to teach. It is not. What God says about family and church are far more important than what He says about the state. So why even bring up the subject? It’s because God’s plan for civil government has often been ignored, twisted, or maligned, and so it is necessary to set out on this task of clearing up the confusion and pointing people back to Scripture. I hope the reader will gain insight and reap countless benefits from this brief study of both Scripture and civil government.”

What's Cooking at SEM?

Sorry for neglecting to write for so long. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have been unable to devote much time to blogging. I’m going to try to do better in the future to keep y’all informed of what’s going on here at SEM.

So much has happened that I don’t know where to begin! After the release of our bestselling film A Defense of God’s Law in May, we published a companion study guide in July. Though on the surface it seems like nothing else has happened, in reality much has happened behind the scenes. I am now putting the finishing touches on my new book, God’s Plan for Civil Government. We expect to have this book in stock by mid-October! In addition to writing this book, I have been making a lot of decisions concerning the future of SEM. What will be our goals for 2008...and beyond? Right here’s the place to stay informed of what cooking at Scott Eash Multimedia!

The Launch of SEM Distribution

I am pleased to announce that Scott Eash Multimedia is forming a new label to distribute independent Christian films! SEM Distribution will bring quality movies and documentaries to Christian families through various distribution channels including web stores, video download stores, and traditional brick-and-mortar Christian retail stores.

This is a dream come true for me. For many years, I have wanted to launch into distribution as a means of promoting the independent Christian film industry. I realize that I am limited as a filmmaker – I am just one man. I can’t make all the good films that need to be made. However, I can help the independent film industry to grow by distributing films from other Christian filmmakers.

There are other filmmakers out there who make quality, God-honoring films, but most of these filmmakers hit a brick wall when it comes to distribution. There are many hoops to jump through in order to be successful at distribution. Most filmmakers don’t want to mess with distribution – they just want to make films! I am willing to put forth the effort to establish a good distribution network, and this will benefit many filmmakers, not just SEM.

SEM Distribution has already made distribution agreements with several independent film companies. We will begin by distributing seven films including comedies, documentaries, and political films. These films are as different from each other as they are from typical Hollywood fare. Virtually any genre is fair game, as long as it is a film which teaches biblical worldview lessons. Not all films need to be evangelistic. We also need quality films that are designed to build up and equip Christian families.

The following titles will be distributed by SEM Distribution:

Hero Dad & the Incredible Cave Rescue
Hero Dad, imgWhen Jim Cummins (Jamey Sampley), an average dad with an average job, learns that his children are lost, possibly deep in the heart of a cave, he immediately assumes the role of the fearless hero. He lives out his greatest adventure as he determines to rescue them. Work schedules, lack of proper caving gear or even an escape convict...Nothing will stop the devotion of this Hero Dad!

A Legend and a Legacy
A Legend & a Legacy, imgAlthough the cousin of boxing champion Evander Holyfield, Leonard Holifield is a legend all his own. As the bodyguard for "Ten Commandments Judge" Roy Moore, a martial arts grandmaster, and the Chief Combative Instructor for the U.S. Army, Holifield's life demonstrates how a man providentially inspired by the love and discipline of his father is destined to greatness.

Remember Alabama: The Life & Trials of Chief Justice Roy Moore
Remember Alabama, imgThis video documentary takes you behind the scenes and lets you meet the man, Roy Moore, while also hearing his attorneys, associates, and friends tell the behind-the-scenes story of what happened in Alabama. It’s a story you will never forget.

Bubble Trouble
Seven-year-old Gator Moore is unable to beat his brothers at chess. He comes to the conclusion that if he knew what his opponents were thinking, he could defeat them. He dreams up a contraption to help him read thoughts, but in the end he realizes that such tasks are best left up to God.

A Lifetime of Childlike Faith
The work of Leonard Knight has captured the interest of such greats as National Geographic, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and the Discovery Channel. A Lifetime of Childlike Faith tells the true story of the simple man behind Salvation Mountain, and how his faith has driven him to do the seemingly impossible without even the benefit of electricity or running water.

Click here to buy.

In addition to these titles, we will also be distributing our own films, including A Defense of God’s Law and Autumn Breeze, Winter Freeze. I hope to add many more films as well. This is just the beginning!

The first seven films to bear the SEM label will hit the retail market June 1, 2007.

Thanking God for Providence: 2006 in Review

Dear Friends;

2006 was a year in which we saw the hand of God move in mighty ways. We at Scott Eash Multimedia (S.E.M.) are thankful for the many providences of God in 2006. Please allow me the privilege of sharing some of them with you. I am convinced that God’s providential work in 2006 has prepared us for an even greater 2007!

Who Are We?
What is Scott Eash Multimedia? S.E.M. is a family owned multimedia company with a God-honoring mission: “Equipping Christians for advancing the Kingdom of God.” Where do we start? What is the first step? We must begin by teaching that the Bible speaks with authority to every area of life (II Timothy 3:16-17). This is called a "biblical worldview." It simply means that Christians must view the world and everything in life through the lens of Scripture. Our lives, families, churches, and civil societies must be conformed to the truths of Scripture.

To fulfill this mission, S.E.M. produces and distributes biblical worldview resources. Sometimes these resources come in the form of comprehensive training (films, books, and CDs), and other times they come in the form of theologically-sound media (movies, novels, and radio dramas) that show a biblical worldview in action.

2006 in Review
In January of last year, I outlined three specific goals for the year:

1. Produce and release Autumn Breeze, Winter Freeze, a compilation DVD with two inspiring nature films that honor God as Creator. (This goal was met when the DVD released on May 19.)

2. Launch an Internet web store to put quality, biblical worldview resources into the hands of Christian families. (After months of hard work, our web store began in June.)

3. Produce and release A Defense of God’s Law, a documentary film on the continuing relevance of God’s Law. (Much progress was made on this film in 2006, and we’re anticipating a spring 2007 release.)

Though we didn’t quite make the last goal, I am grateful to God for all that was accomplished in 2006. The web store has been an especially beneficial project. Our year-end survey showed that people really are pleased with what they experienced at our store last year...and they are asking for more! Product categories include “American History,” “For Families,” and “Creation Versus Evolution.” Recently, we added new sections including “Family Films,” “Church History,” and “Civil Government.” These categories were added partly due to the results of our survey. I think many will be pleased as we continue to improve and expand our store in the coming year.

Am I disappointed that A Defense of God’s Law was not finished on schedule? Yes and no. I would have liked to finish the film by year’s end, but I am also glad that God’s providence kept that from happening. Just the other day, I was telling a friend that I was thankful to God for the delays in production. If I had finished the film on my schedule, I would have missed so many of God’s blessings. For example, the 3D animator, the camera operator, the music composer, and the narrator all signed on to help several months after the original production deadline. The film would have suffered if these fine men were not involved in the production. God’s schedule is always better than ours!

The Lord opened up the doors for so many people to help with this film. Many of the crew members were brought to me in ways I can only attribute to the providence of God. A casual e-mail contact led to the recruiting of a narrator; seemingly “by chance” meetings led to other crew members being selected; “accidental” website discoveries provided research materials and artwork. We may mistakenly identify these events as coincidences, but in reality, they are providences of God. Every “chance” happening is really part of God’s providential plan. We must give all praise and glory to the Lord for His grace and work in our lives.

A Defense of God’s Law: film synopsis
Do you want to achieve victory in your family, church, and broader society? This can only be accomplished if Christians return to the abiding principles in God’s Law. Sadly, many Christians think God’s Law is archaic, oppressive, and irrelevant, or that strict obedience to the Law is legalism. Some even think that Jesus and the Apostles repealed the Law. These, and other misconceptions, are answered in A Defense of God’s Law. Watch as God’s infinitely wise Law is defended using biblically-sound arguments.

Why should Christians watch this film?
If you want to be encouraged, equipped, and trained for victorious Christian living, this film is for you. If you aren’t sure what you believe about God’s Law, this film lays out the Scriptures you need to know. If you know the truth about God’s Law, but aren’t sure how to share your belief with others, this is the perfect tool to give to your friends. In easy to understand terms, this film answers common objections to God's law.

This film includes interviews and speeches by Pastor William Einwechter, Doug Phillips, Esq., and Stanley L. Eash. DVD Running Time: approx. 75 minutes

Looking Ahead: Goals for 2007
If the Lord is willing, these are the projects we hope to accomplish this year:

1. A Defense of God’s Law
This film will be released on DVD in early 2007. For current information on this release, please check our website or sign up for our e-mail newsletter.

2. Audio Lectures
I plan to record two audio lectures that should be extremely relevant and helpful. The first will explain the term “biblical worldview,” what it means and why it’s necessary. The second recording asks and answers the question, “when was the beginning?” As Christians, we all agree that God created the earth “in the beginning”, but when was the beginning? Was it billions or thousands of years ago? We must turn to Scripture for the answer. These lectures will be released on audio CD in late 2007.

3. Defending God’s Law Conference
As excited as I am about A Defense of God’s Law, there is only so much that can be covered in a 75 minute film. Once I realized this, I thought to myself that it would be great to organize a conference to go more in-depth in defending God’s Law. It’s just an idea now, but if finances allow and pieces come into place, we would like to have the conference here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania this fall. I have already spoken to one person who has shown interest in lecturing at the conference, and I have several other speakers in mind. Please pray that the Lord will give us wisdom as we try to determine the feasibility of this conference.

I have many more ideas and plans I would like to share, but they will have to wait. Please pray for us as we continue to seek God for His direction for the year. Please consider partnering with us as we equip Christians for advancing the Kingdom of God! Your prayers and patronage are greatly appreciated.

Your Friend and Brother in Christ,
Scott Eash

Change to Film/ New Booklet Coming

A Defense of God's Law was originally intended to be a film which demonstrates that God's Law applies today, and more specifically, how it applies to the realm of civil government. After much deliberation, I have decided to split up these related topics into two separate products.

The sole focus of A Defense of God's Law will be to demonstrate from Scripture that God's law applies to every aspect of civilization at all times. I intend to write a booklet which will focus on how the law of God applies to one specific aspect of society - civil government. I will soon post further details about this booklet.

Plans for Scott Eash Multimedia in 2006

Right now, a number of improvements are being made to the Scott Eash Multimedia website. Some of the changes include the addition of an online store where our products will be sold, and where customers will be able to order our video services online. Keep checking www.scotteashmedia.com for these changes, and many more!


Currently, we are producing a documentary film which defends the modern applicability of God's Law. As the film host, I will examine biblical clues and search for the truth concerning God's Law. Topics addressed include: Jesus and God's Law, civil government and God's Law, and ceremonial law. More details and behind the scenes info will be posted on this blog soon.


This summer, we will release a DVD titled the Creation Film Pack, which contains our three Creation films. Included on the disc will be "Autumn & Winter", "Do Stars Prove the Bible Wrong?", and "Consider God's Creation" (a 2004 semi-finalist at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival). This DVD will be available at www.scotteashmedia.com.

In addition to our current services of DVD Authoring, Duplication, and Visual Effects, we are adding a new great service - Photo Transfer to DVD! We can use digital photos to create a compelling slide show presentation, complete with exciting transitions, digital zooms, and background music. The finished DVD has many benefits and applications. Check the services page for more details, coming soon.

Lord willing, these are the things that we will accomplish in 2006. I appreciate all those who are ready and willing to support Scott Eash Multimedia in these endeavors!
