Let’s make clear a few phrases that are often tossed around in church, sometimes synonymously.  First off every good thing comes from God.  He asks for a sign of our faithfulness by giving 10% of it back to be given to your regular church.  This is called a tithe.  God has promised to take care of His faithful followers in return.  Many times I have heard Brother Tommy say that this is the only promise God gives for which He asks us to test Him.  Second, gifts and offerings are often mentioned.  These are above and beyond the tithe and given to your church or other people and organizations doing the Lord’s work.  Brother Tommy also said that ‘You can’t outgive God.’  How do we invest in our spiritual future?  How does giving lead to happiness?  How can we rob God?  Was tithing an Old Testament concept?  What if God based your income on your gifts to the church?  What is a love offering?  What else does God’s Word say about the use of our money?

If you don’t know the Lord as your personal Lord and Savior all this talk about tithing is putting the cart before the horse.  Find out more by clicking here:

Happy New Year!  What is a new year but an opportunity?  How will you grab it?  How does the Lord want us to approach it?  How many times does the Bible say ‘Fear not’?  What fears should we have and not have?  If we worship the God of love, what does ‘fear the Lord’ mean?  What damage can the wrong fear do?  I think it is interesting that the term for coins in the Bible was talents.  it makes the parable Brother Tommy refers to so much more relatable.  How do we fight fear properly?  Faith!  But faith in whom?

As we celebrate the first coming of Jesus Christ over 2000 years after it happened, let’s take a few minutes to ask ourselves why we call it the first coming?  That implies that Jesus Christ will come again.  The Bible does more than imply it.  How will He return?  What does the Bible say will occur when Christ returns?  What will be the differences between His first and second coming?  Who was Simeon and what can we learn from him?  Are you saved, surrendered, and Spirt-filled?  How about sensitive to the Lord’s message?  Do you know what Simeon’s name means?  Do you know what it feels like to be satisfied?  Was Jesus Christ’s first coming welcomed by everyone?  Will His second coming be welcomed by everyone?  Who is guaranteed to see this second coming?

What do we think about when we reach this time of year?  Christmas trees, decorations, gifts?  What is the bigger picture?  What does an Old Testament book of the Bible have to do with the birth of the Savior in the New Testament?  Why would God send His Son to be born in a tiny little town like Bethlehem?  Why not in a palace to a royal family?  What does this passage say about our existence?  What does it say about Christ’s existence?  Why did Jesus come to Earth?  From what do we need to be delivered?  It is great to claim this deliverance from the judgment of sin but what about peace and power in our daily lives?

What do you want for Christmas?  How about something eternal?  Isn’t it interesting how exciting it is to receive a wrapped gift only to open that gift to find something that you can only use for a little while if at all?  What is the perfect Christmas gift?  What is the purpose of this gift?  What was the cost of it?  What is the difference between free and cheap?  How do we receive the perfect gift?

Sometimes it may be hard to get in the mood for Christmas.  We are bombarded with the commercial aspects of this very holy day when we remember God’s gift of salvation in the flesh.  How do we get a grip on this true meaning?  Why did the Creator of all things stoop to our level?  We say God is a God of love,  but is He capable of hate?  If we are all born into sin because of Adam, how did Jesus avoid this stain at birth?  What would have happened if Jesus had sinned?  What assurances can we draw from the fact that Christ came down to be a sacrifice in our place?  This Christmas season get a grip on exactly what saves us from our sin.

Today’s blog post is a little late.  Sorry, i was quite busy and needed to catch my breath.  Have you ever felt that way?  Who or what is the Breath of God?  Who is the Holy Spirit and what does He do?  How and how often does God give us a breath of fresh air?  This is one of several messages Brother Tommy delivered on old hymns, as always referencing Scripture along the way.  There is an interesting quote about 18 minutes in that tells the secret to being able to do anything we want.  Sounds good, right?

For what are we thankful this week?  I am thankful for you taking the time to listen to the word of God and hearing how this therapy of thanksgiving can change our lives.  Is it easy to be thankful when times are good?  Or do we sometimes forget?  How about when times are hard?  For what is there to be thankful then?  Are we to be thankful for whatever happens or in whatever happens?

What we are most thankful for is God’s most precious gift of forgiveness of our shortcomings and life with Him eternally.  If you want to know more, click here:
