We are at the beginning of a new year.  Just like Joshua leading God’s people into the Promised Land, we are heading into uncertain times.  How important are the past and present to how we approach the future?  How important is God’s purpose to our future?  How can we know His purpose?  What has God promised to us about stepping out on Faith?  Were do we get the power to follow through with the plan?  How does our behavior affect the plan?  How should we measure success?  How can we know God will be with us on this journey?

We just celebrated the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  But, has everyone heard about Him and why He was sent?  Some of the figures Brother Tommy gives in this message from 1981 are outdated.  But even with our technological advances in communication, the world population has grown exponentially, including the areas that have limited or no access to the Bible.  How can a person be saved unless they call on the Lord? How can they call unless they believe? How can they believe unless they hear?  How can they hear without being told?  How can we tell others today?  Who do you know that needs to hear about Jesus?  Do you serve in a church that goes on mission trips?  Does your work take you into places that need the Lord?

Before you can share the message of Jesus Christ, you have to enjoy a personal relationship with Him yourself.  The first step is to click here:

Merry Christmas!  What kind of memories does that bring you?  Have you ever dreaded the rush and bustle of December?  Why is that?  Could it be we need to adjust our focus?  As we approach this holy day of celebrating our Savior’s birth, I am reminded of a sermon Brother Tommy delivered that his wife, my mother wrote.  They would both quote from it often as we grew up in their house.

Have you ever heard of someone stooping down to another person’s level?  Brother Tommy tells a story about a Boston mayor who did just that.  The papers of that day called it the greatest stoop in the world, but was it really?  Well, do you believe the Bible when it says that Jesus Christ has always existed long before His earthly birth in a manger?  Did Jesus voluntarily come down to our level?  Did He know the reception He would get?  What made all of that sound like a good idea?  The big picture.

 P.S. Sound quality deteriorates about the 18 minute mark, so turn the volume down to avoid speaker damage.

Are you busy right now?  Well, here is a short one for us.  As we get ready for Christmas, Brother Tommy asks us to stop and consider a few things about the human birth of our Savior.  Did God have to send His Son as a helpless infant?  In fact, weren’t most people looking for a warrior riding in with an army to lay waste to the wicked?  How much more can we relate to Jesus and vice versa because He went through everything we go through on a daily basis?  What does Jesus Christ’s birth and life have to do with His death?  What does Christ’s birth and death have to do with ours?

Around here it is crunch time.  Its test time, the end of the grading period.  So along with all the excitement of the Christmas season upon us, our students also must devote time to studying.  Maybe you are glad that you don’t have to study anymore.  But is that really the case?  Even after I left school, I used to have a nightmare about walking into a final for a class I forgot to attend.  What if that is a warning not to neglect the lessons of the greatest teacher ever?  Are we listening? Really listening?  How about looking?  What does loving have to do with learning?  Are these three things enough?  What more is necessary for us to learn?  Identification and participation.

Most people were raised to say ‘thank you’ when they are given something positive.  They may not always do it.  But what does the Bible say about how people who have invited Christ into their life should react?  We are called to be thankful for the good and the bad.  The bad?  Why are we told to be thankful in bad times?  How does that work when times are tight, or when we are sick or suffering?  What is the right way to give thanks to God?  Wait, there is a wrong way?  And how do horrible deaths and disasters happen if everything happens according to God’s will?  How does giving thanks benefit the thankful person?

Do you have the privilege of living in or near the mountains?  Maybe you have visited a majestic mountain range.  What message did Brother Tommy bring back from his visit to the mountains?  What can they teach us about perspective?  Hint:  I live in the Appalachian mountains of North America but, when I compare them to the Rocky Mountains on the same continent or the Andes in South America or even the Alps in Europe I see that my mountains are not that big (but they are still impressive.)  Where should we focus?  Creation or Creator?  What can we learn about stability?  How about security?  If God preserves His people like the mountain folk do with their food, what kind of fruit does that make us?  But seriously, what kind of mishaps and calamities has He kept from us?  And that preservation is not just for the here and now.  Hallelujah!
