Update from Tommy Mann Ministries



Tommy Mann Ministries was begun in 2009 with the release of my first book All the Law. Writing has always been about ministry to me; it is a way to spread the message of Jesus. I never wanted to make money off of writing, so I found a way to give back everything that comes in.

Now, a few years and a few books later, I wanted to give an update on what the ministry has been doing. One of my biggest passions has been fighting for the unborn, but it does no good to convince a woman to keep her baby if we do not help her keep her baby. Because of this, a top priority of this ministry has been supporting crisis pregnancy centers. We routinely supply diapers, wipes, baby food, clothes, monetary donations, and other items to pregnancy centers.

Aside from pregnancy centers the next biggest ministry has been behind bars. TMM supports Angel Tree Ministries, which provides Christmas gifts for the children of incarcerated inmates. Prisoners fill out request forms for their children, and Angel Tree makes it happen. We sponsor several children each year.

We also minister in the prisons by supplying materials to be used either by chaplains or for inmate-led Bible studies. Every blog and devotion from the website is sent out; we also provide Bibles, Bible study books, and other materials.

We also have supported organizations like St. Jude Children’s Hospital, The March of Dimes, and other needs as they have come along.

Through the Rachel Dowd Book Sponsorship Program, we provide free copies of Asleep in Heaven’s Nursery to people who have recently lost small children.

Finally, I have stayed true to the promise I made to Philippi’s deacon board when they voted to approve this new ministry: one dollar from every book sold has been donated to Philippi’s building fund.

When What Now? is released, it will be another chance to do more.

This is not a bragging blog; none of this would be possible without the donations, customers, and supporters of this ministry. Your giving has allowed this ministry to be a part of great things, and I just wanted to let you know what we have been doing.

Thank you for your support!

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the “A” word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the “D” word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boy’s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he

Evangelism

“Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.” St. Francis of Assisi is given credit for this famous quote (although that exact phrasing does not appear in any of his writings), and a lot of people would think that this is a great philosophy. His actual quote was that everyone should “preach by their deeds.” Preaching with our deeds is not just a strategy, it is a necessity. We are commanded all through the Scriptures to let our light shine and be a peculiar people. People should be able to look at our lives and see that we are Christians. They should see the love of Christ readily on display, and thus feel compelled to live their lives in the same way. The sermon that we should preach with our lives is a sermon of love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, forgiveness, conviction, etc. But this idea that has emerged that says we should ONLY preach with our deeds is a heresy straight from the devil himself. Think about it: who is the one that does not want you t

What is a Curse Word?

I know. Stupid question, right? But lately I have heard Christians begin to debate what actually makes a word a curse word. Since the Bible never says, “Thou shalt not say the ‘s’ word,” how do we know that a word is bad? Because of this I have heard Christians justify cursing. The Bible gives a broad command for Christians to adhere to: let no corrupt word come out of your mouth (Ephesians 4:29). The word corrupt means rotten; therefore, we should never say a rotten word, whether it is on the list of curse words or not. First, we have to realize that there are curse words. On the night of Jesus’ arrest Peter was found guilty of using one himself. Matthew 26:74 tells us that when Peter denied knowing Jesus that he began “to curse and to swear.” This verse shows that there are curse words, and that they are wrong to use. I’m sure whatever words Peter said were not the same curse words that we have in our culture today. Here is the point: a curse word (or rotten word) is any wo
