The Rant

A former co-worker coined the phrase when I offered to let her listen to one of my sermons on CD. She said, "Sure, I'll listen to Tom rant about Jesus." At first it sounded funny, but the more I thought about it the more it seemed to fit. That's what we, as preachers, pretty much do. We rant about Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 2:2 the Apostle Paul says, "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." That's it. Jesus. Who He is, and what He did, and what it means for us. That's my job, or calling, or anointing. To preach Christ. Jesus is in every book of the Bible. The entire volume speaks of Him. If you don't see Jesus, you're looking at it wrong.

So that's what I'm going to continue to do in this forum: Rant about Jesus.

My hope is to Rant every night by 9:00 pm, so check daily for new blogs.

Glory part 4

10/17/2018 19:48

We think of glory as something to be won. Or earned. But really, glory is given. Our God has supplied all our need according to His riches in glory. It was a gift. The gift of God. Eternal life. A life of love. Knowing love. Knowing that you ARE loved. And when you know that you are loved... you...

Glory part 3

10/16/2018 20:16

Here's what I'm trying to build for us: God has supplied all our need according to His riches in glory. And that glory, given to us, is what equips and empowers us to give HIM glory. We simply receive and release what He gives us. He first loved us, and we love Him back (with that same love) by...

Glory part 2

My point in this Rant series (I think) is that we give God glory... because He's glorious. We don't PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens). We don't try to get God to move. He already moved. On the cross. And, really, from the foundation of the world. And, as I'm about to try to show you, when Jesus...

Glory part 1

I ended the last Rant series with the idea from Philippians 4:19, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." And the next verse says, "Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Which got me to thinking. God has supplied all our...

There's a song by one of Logan's favorite bands that has this line in it: "When you can't hold on... hold on." Which makes no sense. But I understand the concept. Don't give up, no matter how bleak it looks. As my pastor always says, "When you get to the end of your rope... tie a knot in it." What...

Provision part 4

10/12/2018 20:01

My God SHALL supply all YOUR need. I know this because He HAS provided all MY need. I saw it. I saw the provision with my pro vision. With the light of the world shining, and making things clear. I'm a witness. I experience it, and now I can tell you about it. In order to edify you. Build you up....

Provision part 3

10/11/2018 20:00

There's a big difference between needs and wants. Believe it or not. What we want, in fact, is very rarely what we need. Keep this in mind when I show you my memory verse for today: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). And...

Provision part 2

The internet was wonky last night. Or something. So it took a longer than usual time to upload my Rant. I say that to say this: When I was sitting here staring at it, waiting (with fingers crossed) for it to upload... I couldn't help but notice that if you break the title into two words "provision"...

Sometimes I see this idea in movies or whatnot. Something happens that stretches the limit of credibility, and the character shrugs and says, "Providence." Always kind of struck me (a writer) as lazy writing. But the thing of it is... well, let me quote my memory verse for this Rant series. And let...

Kindness part 5

10/08/2018 19:42

Here's what I'm talking about when I try to communicate the idea of receiving and releasing... receiving BY releasing; I'm talking about experiencing the thing you're giving away. And that way truly experiencing it. Because when you're wrapped up, preoccupied, in getting something... you miss out...
