The Scripture reading for today is recorded in 1 Corinthians 4:2

1 Corinthians 4:2
Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
NKJV

Editor's Commentary on Today's Scripture as it applies to the life  and ministry of Scott Muse

It can be said of Scott that he passed the course in faithfulness. I knew him as a faithful husband, father, churchman, and businessman, as well as President of Southwestern College (now Southwestern Christian University) in Bethany, OK.

When I was a student at Holmes Bible College, Dr. Paul F. Beacham often quoted this saying of his:

"When time is a story, and all the vain things of this life have passed into nothingness, only the faithful in Christ will shine as the stars in the brightness of His firmament."

Scott Muse was faithful. He was a loyal and true son in the Pentecostal Holiness family. He loved Lesta, his children, and extended family, people, this church of ours, was a gifted and talented Christian businessman, Sunday school teacher, and friend. I can hear his laugh even as I write.

He came to my rescue and saved the day at Southwestern College to get the financial situation under manageable control. He didn't have to do it. He had many other things to do. He did it to help me save the school that he dearly loved. He and I, and our families attended Muse Memorial Church together, and we often dined together at various restaurants in OKC, and visited one another. He and Lesta were wonderful people. We enjoyed attending Muse Memorial with them. He taught the Adult Sunday school class of which I was a part as a student. He was a masterful teacher who could engage his students in vigorous and valuable discussion of the Scriptures and how they applied to us in our daily lives.

Scott Thomas Muse, Jr., 76, died on Saturday, August 18, 2007. His funeral will be on Tuesday, August 21, 2007, at River of Life Church in Oklahoma City, at 2 p. m.

Mr. Scott Thomas Muse, Jr., passed away on Saturday morning, August 18, 2007, at 6 o'clock, in Oklahoma City.  He has had a long battle with cancer.

Scott was born September 6, 1930, in Oklahoma City to the Rev. Mr. Scott T. Muse, Sr. and Cathren Lowry Muse.  He was the first grandchild of Bishop Dan T. Muse and Addie Scott Muse.  Dan T. Muse was the first bishop of the West in the IPHC. Scott married Lesta Lou Light on August 6, 1950. in Oklahoma City where they started their family with the first of three sons, Daniel Thomas Muse, born in 1951.  In 1954, Scott, Lesta, and Dan moved to Rolla, Kansas, where he began a career in farming.  They had a daughter, Pamela and later added two sons, Matthew Scott and Mark Todd Muse.  

In 1970, Scott moved his family back to Oklahoma City where he began a career in real estate development. In 1977, he was appointed to a four year term as president of Oklahoma City Southwestern College.  Scott ended his working career in Stratford, Oklahoma as owner of Reliance Insurance and Real Estate Agency.  In 2004, Scott sold the agency and moved back to Oklahoma City where he and Lesta began their retirement.

Scott is survived by his wife, Lesta, and three children: Daniel; Mark and his wife, Tricia, of Oklahoma City; Pamela Muse of Nashville, Tennessee; and Matthew and his wife, Fiorella Muse, of Xi’an, China.
