With all the instability occurring around the world, revolution can be an inflammatory term.  What kind of revolution does Jesus Christ bring?  How can you tell it apart from revolution brought on by the devil?  What is the answer?  Education?  Redistribution of wealth or power?  What is at the heart of the unrest in the world?  When we hear the term revolutionary we think of terrorists.  But what if someone took the opposite approach?  Where is the power in that?  Brother Tommy delivered this message over 26 years ago and it could not be more relevant today.  I am very excited about this message and Satan knows it.  If you want to be part of the revolution, follow this link:

How do we gauge success?  Who do we point to as our examples?  Is there anything wrong with wealth?  Does it matter from where it comes?  What is the fallacy of a “self-made man?”  Have you ever coveted?  Take the test and listen to the great illustration Brother Tommy gives about the old man making a deal with the young man.  If you want to make the most important investment you can in this life, follow this link:

Now before you say that I am trying to choose a candidate for you by posting this week’s blog, realize that this message was delivered in 1984.  Brother Tommy is talking about getting involved in the political process on a local level.  Although this message comes from an American point of view, everywhere you have people working together you have some form of politics.  What are some myths about politics?  Do we need government?  What can a Christian bring to the process?  Of what should a Christian be aware?  Is it Christian to compromise?

Did you ever want to know what is the most important thing that God wants us to do in life?  Well, a lawyer asked Jesus that very question.  His answer was a perfect summary of the message of the entire Bible.  What is the connection between loving God, others, and ourselves?  Why is it important to love ourselves?  What are some signs that we can see in ourselves that indicate we don’t love ourselves properly?  How does it affect our ability to love God and others?  What are seven ways we can improve our love of self to the point it needs to be?  The majority of this message is devoted to improving our self image as Christians.  A couple of times Brother Tommy touches on the other extreme and how dangerous it is.  Unfortunately nearly thirty years after this was recorded I am afraid we have just as many, if not more people now that love themselves too much.  To accept Christ as Savior we must first die to the old sinful self and then build it back properly.  To learn more, follow this link:

How can Brother Tommy say that the Bible is full of contradictions?  I thought he believed that the Bible was the true Word of God.  Oh wait, he means the Bible contradicts our normal nature and ways of thinking.  How does it contradict what we think about ourselves, Hell (and how we get there), Christ’s death on the cross, and even Heaven (and how we get there).  Those are the basics but how does it contradict what we have come to believe about living the Christian life?

Vitality means full of life.  How physically fit was Jesus Christ?  What strengths did He possess?  Brother Tommy makes a great point at the beginning about the artists’ representations we have today.  Bold, divisive, determined – which of these three words describes the Savior’s personality.  How did Jesus become the man He was?  How can we become more like Christ?  This is the last of this series on  becoming more Christlike, next week Brother Tommy will address contradictions found in the Bible.  Of course before you can be more like Jesus Christ, you have to have a personal relationship with Him.

What is grace?  It encompasses kindness, forgiveness, and mercy.  God’s grace can be received by faith in His son, Jesus Christ.  God’s grace has been called unmerited favor.  In other words we did not do anything to justify God’s forgiveness and salvation, but because of the sacrifice of His son (instead of us) we can receive eternal freedom.  Here Brother Tommy goes through numerous examples of Jesus Christ mirroring His father’s graciousness.  To whom did Jesus show grace?  How did Jesus act with grace?  How should we apply these lessons to the people we run into everyday?  Do we only express kindness to our friends and family?  Worse yet are we only forgiving to acquaintances and people on the street?  This whole series reminds me of the saying’What would Jesus do?’  I think after next week’s final installment we will all have better answers to that question.  If you want to personally experience God’s saving grace, follow this link:

Laughter is a great medicine.  Where do we get the idea that Jesus Christ was always somber?  He went to many joyful events.  So much so that he was criticized for it.  How did Jesus use parables and nicknames to lighten the mood?  How about our weaknesses?  Jesus knew the value of humor in getting the message across and we should, too.
