Seeing Easter Strategically

April 7, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

Easter Sunday, April 17, will soon be here and I am very excited!  Not only is it a beautiful time of the year in Northeast Mississippi, but it is also a time like none other in terms of seeing people gather to worship.  Sometimes I hear Christians who regularly attend a local congregation criticizing those… Read More »

Breaking the Cycle of Guilt by Association

March 17, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

I remember when I was attending grade school a situation that I suppose is pretty common.  One of my fellow students had broken one of the rules of the classroom and our teacher had become aware of the transgression but not the guilty party.  The teacher urged the guilty one to admit their action and… Read More »

Clueless

March 10, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

I am currently following a regimen of Bible reading that if I stay with it every day, I will have read the entire Bible by December 31.  The way this is set up I end up reading a section from the Old Testament, a section from the New Testament as well as a section from… Read More »

Making a Home in Mississippi

March 3, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

March 3, two years ago, Camille and I made our way into Mississippi with a final destination of Fulton.  We brought all we owned in a U-Haul truck and anxiously arrived at what would be our new home.  I remember the day very, very well.  The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and great… Read More »

Searching for Meaning in the Message

February 24, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

One of the great joys of my life is getting to spend large blocks of time examining Holy Scripture.  Part of the weekly challenge of someone who is a Preacher or Teacher of God’s Word is to faithfully communicate the messages revealed in Scripture.  Surprisingly, this really isn’t too difficult to do if that is… Read More »

A Valentine Dinner’s Lesson in Grace

February 17, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

Camille and I went out to dinner in Tupelo on the Saturday before Valentine’s.  We were hoping to beat the crowds as well as celebrate with a good meal.  As we were thinking about where we would eat, we both somehow found ourselves craving a certain chain restaurant that always seemed to be dependable as… Read More »

Thinking About Major Life Changes!

February 10, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

This week has me thinking about a decision that Camille and I made 2 years ago.  It was about this time in 2020 that we received word from the Elders of the Itawamba Christian Church informing us that the congregation had voted to extend to us a call for ministry there.  While it was good… Read More »

A Pandemic Worse Than Covid!

February 3, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

Part of the strange new world of living in a pandemic is meeting via Zoom.  I find myself writing this blog as I have completed one such meeting and am waiting for another.  In one way, it is really interesting to be able to sit in the comfort of my office, not have to drive… Read More »

What Football Taught Me About Hope

January 27, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

For those who have visited my office at the Church building, it won’t come as a surprise to learn that I am a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs.  I have a Chiefs pennant proudly displayed by my desk.  Since living in Mississippi for the last couple years, my interest in them has been heightened… Read More »

How Being Stopped By the Police Taught Me Leadership

January 20, 2022 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

Probably about 7 or 8 years ago, Camille and I were making our way to the Church building for another day of work.  We were living in Topeka, KS at the time and were driving down 29th Street.  29th Street is a rather busy corridor within the city and it is made up mostly of… Read More »
