We Can Satisfy Our Savior

      19810830 We Can Satisfy Our Savior - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Maybe you have a #parent or a #mentor whose approval you are always seeking.  Maybe you have tried everything you know how to do and it just doesn’t seem to be good enough.  Some people think a relationship with God has to be the same way, never quite measuring up to expectations.  But does it really have to be that way?  First, ask what grieves God?  Second, who does He task with carrying out His work?  Third what is our response to these realizations?

      19880501 The Home The Lord Builds - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Since I didn’t give you a themed message for #Mother’sDay and since we are about to have #Father’sDay, here is a message for both.  What is more important to Christianity and even the Nation than the Church?  Can a home stand without a good foundation?  How does the World define Love?  What is wrong with basing love on looks and feelings?  What admonitions does the Bible give for men and women in the Family?  What is wrong with tweaking the God-given roles in the Family?  What is the biggest threat to the Family today?  What is the reward for getting it right?

Hope For Broken Vessels

      19850714 Hope For Broken Vessels - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

How many of us have #regrets?  Who wouldn’t like a #SecondChance?  What do we have in common with the potter’s clay, physically and spiritually?  How malleable are you?  What are the tools God uses on us to create what He wants?  What kind of defects keep us from becoming what God wants?  Does that mean God will give up on us?  How much is too much?

Remember Jesus Christ

      19850721 Remember Jesus Christ - Rev. Tommy Jones

Tongue Talk – My Grumble Tone

      19851124 Tongue Talk - My Grumble Tone - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Okay one more topic on guarding the tongue.  Sure #grumpycat is funny and the grumpy old man or woman is a #comedy stereotype, but what happens when you become the #joke?  How does a grateful mood affect your attitude and your life?  What is covetousness and how does this destroy happiness?  How is that different from jealousy?  How does unbelief cause grumbling?  So these are the causes, but what are the consequences of grumbling?  Is there a cure?

Tongue Talk – The Man Who Swears

      19851110 Tongue Talk - The Man Who Swears - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#Swearing, #cursing, #profanity – should they be a part of a believer’s speech?  If swearing proves that a person has no fear of the Lord and the Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, what does that tell us about the person who swears?  Why do court systems have people swear on the Bible?  When is that ok to do?  Have you ever sworn something fantastic, exaggerated, or just downright wrong?  How prolific has the use of GD and OMG become in public and in the media?  Which one made it easier to use in public without others recoiling from the lack of decency?  I don’t know, but I think it is literally being used by the Devil to desensitize as many as possible and to lessen the greatness of God at least in human opinion.  What is the irony of the people who use the Lord’s name the most in casual conversation?

What is wrong with a bit of juicy #gossip?  How fast and how accurately do these stories typically travel?  It is no wonder our courts do not allow hearsay testimony.  Just look at the telephone game where a group of people sit in a line and a message is whispered by the first person, who then whispers it to the second, and so on until the last person repeats the message out loud to the group.  Invariably, the more people there are in the line, the more the message changes through misunderstanding, biases, interpretation, or sometimes just mischievousness.  How serious does God take the telling of tales?  How much would your communication be curtailed if you were to ask the Lord before you repeated something you heard?  Even a new follower or a person seeking to follow Christ can filter their speech if they just apply three simple criteria.  This message was delivered in 1985, before the dawn of social media, but it is even more relevant today.

Tongue Talk – Boasting Is Tricky Business

      19850924 Tongue Talk - Boasting Is Tricky Business - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Whether you #humblebrag or just #showoff, be aware the Lord will deal with the proud.  But, is boasting ever ok?  Would it surprise you to learn that God himself boasts?  It feels pretty good when your boss brags on you. Just imagine how it would feel to have the God of the Universe to be proud of you.  So what are good things about which to brag?   And on the flip side, what are the bad or forbidden topics?  How can you avoid sinful boasting?  Watch what you are bragging about and which direction you are pointing when you do it.
