The Unashamed Deacon

Posted by Matt Tullos January 17, 2023January 17, 2023Uncategorized

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that we live in a time when society is trying its dead-level best to mute the voices of believers. With even greater frequency, we experience a fear of walking boldly with Christ. And what does walking boldly actually mean? Does it mean a fish decal on our car? more »

A Crazy Thing Happened on my Way to Damascus

Posted by Matt Tullos November 28, 2022November 28, 2022Uncategorized

When I think I’ve got it bad, I remember Paul of Tarsus. I’ve had my opportunities to complain, but Paul always had it worse than me. Most theologians and historians agree that He was probably on the upper crust of the economic scale in the first century but then there was that Damascus road experience, more »

You Will Never Mock People into Heaven

Posted by Matt Tullos October 25, 2022October 25, 2022Uncategorized

A friend of mine sent me a video yesterday that, at first, made me smile and then made me wince because I realized what kind of impact that it would have on my spiritually lost friends and family. The church can’t afford to be mockers at the expense of the next generation. There are plenty more »

The Overcommitted Deacon

Posted by Matt Tullos October 10, 2022October 10, 2022Uncategorized

5 Keys to Surviving the Storm It had been an especially difficult year for our church. A number of key long-standing members abruptly left our church in protest to the changes we had incorporated in our schedule in the hopes of reaching new people. At our monthly deacon’s meeting, we were discussing the issue when more »

Yesterday I had an opportunity to go to Wauchula Florida and participate in disaster relief. This was a great opportunity to see faithful Tennessee Baptists serving.

I put my hand over my mouth

Posted by Matt Tullos March 14, 2022March 15, 2022Blog, Leadership, Pandemic, Worship

It’s something in the core of most people: a desire to find out what or who causes messes. And no one likes to get the blame for a mess. As children we blamed our brother or sister for the broken vase and when we’re older we blame our self-sworn enemies for the broken world. And it more »

The Empowered Life Workshop Notes

Posted by Matt Tullos March 9, 2022March 9, 2022Discipline|Faith, Prayer

Todd Proctor, John Harrison and Kathleen Doyle How do we order our lives? It has to be an inner journey. It’s all about adoption. We are not earning a relationship. This is how evangelicals often mis the point. This relationship with the Spirit is not something done to us, but with us. When you grow, you more »

Set Your Mind to Work

Posted by Matt Tullos March 7, 2022March 8, 2022Uncategorized

The phone rang. It was Derrick. Again. He was the guy in our church that could turn a five-minute stand-up meeting into a full-on Wednesday night, 9 PM, filibuster! “I don’t think we should proceed with the church renovation. We really ought to crunch the numbers on the carpet before we spend the money. And more »

Ammunition, Not a Ride

Posted by Matt Tullos March 5, 2022March 5, 2022Uncategorized

It’s been heartbreaking to watch the conflict in Ukraine. Our hearts break as we’ve watched the suffering caused by a delusional despot wreaking havoc on innocent civilians. Those citizens include many believers and churches. Amid the senseless shelling, the blasts, the refugee crisis at their borders, the hour-by-hour toll of warfare on the people of more »

He Giveth

Posted by Matt Tullos February 26, 2022February 26, 2022Uncategorized

Annie Johnson Flint’s life declares the greatness of God in the midst of confusion and pain. She was orphaned as a baby. She lived in a home that bordered on poverty and spent her days as a caregiver to her adopted mother who suffered from a number of strokes. In midlife, she also fell ill more »
