#Motivational books tend to concentrate on success stories.  But a real #guide to this earthly existence, like the #Bible has to include both the ups and downs.  What can Jonah teach us about handling failure?  First, where is God?  Before we say that we would never run from God, think about times when we have behaved like God wasn’t there watching.  But isn’t it also helpful knowing that He will not leave us?  Second, how powerful is God?  Once again this can be scary when running from the Lord, but oh so comforting when we are lined up with God’s purpose.  But doing God’s will is supposed to be easy and profitable, right?  What is your personal Ninevah?  Third, what great lesson can we learn about God’s Love?  What is the difference between favored people and favorite people?

On this #election day eve, here are some things to think about.  Whether we live in #America or anywhere in the world, we can make a difference with our commitment to God and a personal relationship with Him by accepting His son, Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior and consequentially being filed with His Holy Spirit.  What are some of the behaviors preventing God from blessing us?  Once again, Brother Tommy finds parallels between our situation and that of the Israelites in the wilderness.  How do we know that God has a plan for us?  Has he protected us?  From where did this national threat really come?  What can we learn from the way the Israelites handled this threat to their nation?  Why is it dangerous for a good person to be a bad citizen?  Only one thing can repair any nation or people.  Do you know the answer?

How much #influence can a #Christian have today?  How much impact does a single match have on a dark room?  How much yeast does it take to make flour into dough that will rise?  How much influence would two fisherman have on the Supreme Court of their time?  Enough that we are still talking about it almost two thousand years later.  What causes this influence?  What deepens and increases this influence?  Brother Tommy asks us to visualize Jesus literally showing up at our door and wanting to go along with us through our day.  How is that different than the way we should actually approach our daily activities?  How do we squander influence?  When does our influence end?

Has the World gone crazy?  The headlines shout #Ebola, #ISIS, and #GlobalWarming.  With so many deadly perils out there, not to mention the steady countdown of an already finite life, how can we live our daily lives without being constantly saddled with an ever present sense of doom?  And even if we somehow manage to get through life without thinking of all the dangers that surround us, what is the solution for the fate that awaits every one of us at the end?  Brother Tommy shows us the answer in 1 Corinthians.  Death is not a pleasant subject, but without discussing it we cannot appreciate the solution.  How can we take the sting out of death?  Of what is death a consequence and who uses it to their own ends?  Who was the first to defeat death and how?  What does it mean for us?  How can we do the same?  Listen for the great example Brother Tommy gives to explain the ‘shadow of death.’  For those with the victory in Jesus over death, what should be our reaction to death and our daily occupation?

What would #Jesus #Christ think about the #churches that have sprung up in His name over the centuries?  What if I told you that Jesus already wrote letters to them knowing what they would become?  See if you recognize your church in any of these letters from our Lord.  A church is made up of individuals and that means that these church profiles also apply to us as individuals.  Do you recognize yourself in any of these descriptions?  Will every Church and Christian get a free pass because of their name?  Works don’t save us but what do these letters show us about the emphasis that will be placed on them?  Will the Church be judged as a whole or will individual motives and efforts matter?  That tells me that joining a great church is important, but it is still a personal responsibility to accept the Lord, grow, and share the Good News.

We speak often about the #gift of eternal #life.  Its true, the possibility of eternal life with God was given to us by the selfless sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ and His subsequent resurrection.  That was something that none of us could have accomplished on our own.  But are there things that we are expected to do if we want to be disciples of Christ?  What does discipleship have to do with salvation?  How important is surrender?  What are we expected to surrender?  How often do we need to surrender?  What is the expectation of serving others in the name of Christ?  What sacrifices are Christians asked to make?  Not as motivation, but as reassurance what did Jesus say would happen if we do sacrifice?
