1 Thessalonians 2.13

On April 8, 2021April 9, 2021 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

“And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.” Unlike God’s word, man’s word can always be …

Freedom

On July 2, 2020 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

As Americans we love our freedom, or at least our idea of it. Nowhere else is that more evident than here in the South. We have a long-standing distrust of "the man" coming onto our property, keeping an eye on us, telling us what we can or can't do. For many people, the government is …

Out Of Control

On June 18, 2019June 18, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

Today as you scroll through your social media feed, inevitably you'll find some story of yet more innocent lives tragically and violently ended. I just read one such story myself. I won't bother to give the details because by the time you read this it will have been replaced by yet another story of similar …

Thoughts and Feelings

On April 12, 2019May 16, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

There was once a time when the best of conversations began with, "I think..." Though not always the case, the implied assumption was that the speaker had taken a moment to consider the facts at hand, weighed differing viewpoints concerning those facts, then reached his/her own conclusion based upon that informal research. This was the …

How To Be Perfect, Part 2

On February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

Considering the verse in 1 Peter we looked at last time (click here to read Part 1), there's an important distinction we first need to make as we continue our discussion. Notice God's call is to "be holy", not to "be perfect". What's the difference? Plenty. First, the word "perfect". When we use it we …

How To Be Perfect, Part 1

On February 21, 2019February 21, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

I think one of the biggest turn-offs to the Christian faith (or any faith for that matter) is the notion of perfection, or at least the pursuit of it. If religion isn't your thing, it's probably because you sense this undercurrent, an unspoken rule of always trying to be better than you are now no …

Preface, Part 2

On February 12, 2019February 12, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

Back in the Fall of 2018, Kevin Huggins of Fellowship Church spoke in our worship service about the importance of storytelling in the life of the believer. As one who enjoys writing, this of course piqued my interest, but really I had never stopped to consider how important storytelling is to our testimony as Christ-followers. …

Preface

On February 8, 2019February 8, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

I recently posted a photo of a mug that Laura bought me for Christmas that reads "Dad, established 2019". I put no caption on the post, but just let it speak for itself. A friend later asked me in person, "Hey I didn't know you all were expecting. When are you due?" When I told …

The Greatest

On January 30, 2019February 1, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

You probably know those people who have an innate ability to turn a conversation back upon themselves, even if it has little or nothing to do with them. Say you are casually talking about a movie you saw, and by the end of the conversation the topic has somehow swung to the other person boycotting …

Lost and Found (Luke 15)

On January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 By tommybrownIn Quick ThoughtsLeave a comment

My mom tells the story of a time when I was lost as a child. Correction, I wasn't lost, I knew exactly where I was. Back in the 80s you could go for a walk with other neighbor moms with nothing to fear, and this was one of those cases. I probably told this sweet …
