Welcome

steve_home2_316

Welcome to my blog. My name is Steve Atherton and I am a Christian Lawyer.  To some that may suggest that I handle First Amendment freedom of religion cases or try only just causes. In my case, it simply means that I am a Christian who happens to be an attorney. My practice, since becoming a Christian, has been an extension of the ministry the Lord has given to me.  If you are interested in my legal practice, visit www.shalaw.com.

This blog is a platform for me to share some of the things the Lord has shown me since coming to know him in 1991.  This blog is not a place for the dissemination of legal advice.  That being said, the messages I anticipate sharing will draw upon all of my  experiences, both good and bad, including my experiences as an attorney.  Throughout, my focus will be on the Lord and showing you His ways.  I hope those messages will be a blessing to you.

  • Water Baptism

    At our recent Ministers’ Convention, I had the privilege of baptizing a young man in water. In doing so, it reminded me of how many Christians do not understand the purpose and significance of baptism generally and water baptism specifically. Christian water baptism is not a baptism of repentance, like John the Baptist preached, but rather a baptism into the Continue Reading

MINISTRY 1991 - present

Discipleship

From the time I came to know the Lord in 1991 until his death in January of 2017, I had the distinct privilege to disciple under Richard D. Eutsler, Sr. Much like Timothy, who discipled under the Apostle Paul, through discipleship I came to fully know Richard’s doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience..

Writing

MEDIA:  Radio, TV, Internet and Print 1979 to Present

Media: Radio, TV, Internet and Print

Beginning in my teen years, I had the wonderful experience of doing a little TV and radio. That created a comfort level in those media that the Lord has built upon, both in the secular commercial world and the religious realm, and expanded to include print publications and the Internet. My father was a news photographer in Washington D.C.  He covered the Presidents from Truman to Nixon for UPI and then, moving to the Washington Post, he covered Congress from Watergate to Iran Contra.  The experience of being around and interacting with famous people from my youth and having a father...
