A New Year without Fear

19850106 A New Year Without Fear - Rev. Tommy Jones

Was 2017 a scary place for you? It seemed full of #uprisings, #protests, #politics, and just bad news. But what was your reference point? Did you know that there are 365 times the Bible says ‘fear not.’ Will you approach 2018 in faith or fear? Are there any good or healthy fears? What can overcome unhealthy or irrational fears? If believers in God have not been given a spirit of fear like the Bible says, what keeps some of us from moving forward?

THE LIVING GOD #SEND

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Barbara Jones

As a #teenager that just received your #driver’s license, did your parents send you to the #grocery store for a forgotten item needed for dinner – or was it for that Dairy Queen treat? That was the scenario in our family. As a loving parent, I was trying to demonstrate that privileges and maturity come with responsibilities. My children and grandchildren are all adults now and I can see how God our Father has sent them all on various paths in their lives. When I was 15, God touched my heart to follow His directions for my life’s path one sunset evening at Glorietta Assembly just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Several outstanding Christian speakers were expressing the need to have a purposeful direction for one’s life. As I was focused on my life’s direction and choices before me, there was a magnificent presentation of Jesus words in John 20:21. I knew I wanted God to send me in His path and use me wherever He placed me to share His love . Through the years I have been in many places – physically and mentally – My God has never forsaken me! I answered His call to follow, to tell and to show God’s abiding love wherever . So far it has been in my home, church, school, work, community, hospitals, shut-ins, jails, resorts, cities from coast to coast, on buses, trains, planes and cars, by personal speaking on TV, film, video, & now this internet site has reached people in over 140 countries. “Jesus said, Peace be unto you: as MY FATHER HAS SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU” When I was that young lady with a desire to follow wherever God sent me, now I am a 80 yr. old woman by God’s grace who still wants to be where God leads. Ps.92 “The righteous shall flourish…they shall still bring forth fruit in old age..to show that the LORD is upright.”

Ethics From the Old Testament

19800507 ROR - As Encouragement To Ethics - Textual Considerations From The Old Testament - Rev. Tommy Jones

What are your #ethics? Have they changed over time? Should ethics be set and never changing or should they be more fluid? What is wrong with looking at other people’s behavior for our standards? When did theology get taken out of the study of ethics? Why is it important to look at the Bible when talking about ethics and morality? What does our relationship with God and our fellow man have to do with ethics? What are the three types of law given in Exodus? Was God trying to keep us from enjoying life with these laws? What other books in the Old Testament contain ethical lessons? What can we learn about our responsibilities from the Old Testament?

Next week we will look at what the Bible says about ethics in the New Testament.

A Dress Rehearsal For Calvary

19880424 A Dress Rehearsal For Calvary - Rev. Tommy Jones

We just celebrated the sacrificial #crucifixion and triumphant #resurrection of our Lord and Savior #Jesus Christ. He was the only one that was ever worthy enough to complete this accomplishment. But was there a foreshadowing of this event as far back as the first book of the Bible? How does the history of Abraham and Isaac parallel what we have been told about God the Father and His only Son? Where do we think this test of faith occurred for Abraham and Isaac? There is every evidence that Isaac knew what was happening and yet what was his attitude? How did this dramatic dress rehearsal end?

Daylight Savings Time

19870405 Daylight Savings Time - Rev. Tommy Jones

Where did we get the idea for #DaylightSavingsTime? We think of it as a modern contrivance, but what if it has roots all the way back to the Old Testament in the Word of God? Brother Tommy tells us of a day like none that had ever been before and has not been repeated since. This is a tale of human deception and divine intervention. Why did Joshua need more time that day? Why did God answer his prayer affirmatively? What scientific proof do we have that this event actually occurred? What can we take away from this miracle?

The LIVING GOD #TRUE #GOD

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Barbara Jones

#Life has #breath. In this internet age, stagnant lifeless forms do not hold your attention; yet, what kind of images are you imprinting on your life? I am seeing more statues of idols as background props depicting serenity by association. “Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image; for his molten image is falsehood and there is no breath in them.” Jer.10:14 “But the LORD IS THE TRUE GOD, HE IS THE LIVING GOD, and the everlasting king….the gods have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens. GOD has made the earth by His power, He established the world by His wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by His discretion.” Jer.10:10-12 “LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath off life; and man became a living soul.” Gen.2:7 “The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.” Job 33:4 Now that you have been given breath and life by the TRUE LIVING GOD for whom or what do you choose to live?

The LIVING GOD #EVERLASTING

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Barbara Jones

A #lifetime #warranty is rarely offered on anything today. As I am observing the behavior of this culture, I think most people believe everything is disposable from paper to people! What about GOD? In the very beginning, Gen.1:27 “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female created He them.” Ps.90:2 “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING THOU ART GOD.” Everlasting meaning enduring, perpetual, and eternal. Ps.136:2 “Give thanks to the God of gods, for His LOVINGKINDNESS IS EVERLASTING” We are not disposable items for God made us everlasting in His image! He also gave us the ability to make decisions and choices to honor and love our creator or to selfishly live for the moment of self gratification. Either way we have an eternal warranty with our Lord and Savior. Ps.139:23,24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and LEAD ME IN THE WAY EVERLASTING” Will your warranty be redeemed in Heaven or Hell? John 3:16″For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE.”

The LIVING GOD #PERFORMS

Posted on March 5, 2015 by Barbara Jones

#Violence, #Barbarism, #Massacres, and all manner of #Carnage are happening right now as displayed on the internet and TV. While #Evil is thrust before our eyes to make us #fearful, Ps.56:11 “In #GOD will I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me…13God has delivered my soul from death: will He not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?” Recently, I was told that a Sunday School teacher was telling others to not admit you’re a Christ follower for you could be a target. I pray we will follow God’s word rather than the fear mongers. Ps.56:3 “What time I am afraid, I will trust in God…I will praise His word…I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.” Ps.57 “Be merciful unto me, O God, for my soul trusts in Thee; in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; GOD WHO PERFORMS ALL THINGS FOR ME. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. GOD shall send forth His Mercy and Truth.”
