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.

Builded Together part 4

09/27/2018 19:45

We're all in this together. I think that's one of the most important truths that the majority of people seem to miss. Because all we seem to want to do is build walls. Draw lines in the sand. Make everything "us against them." Members Only club. And I understand where a lot of that comes from--it...

Builded Together part 3

Let's talk about the cornerstone today. Because, as any carpenter will tell you... that's the important one. That's the one that everything else is measured off of. Let me say it in another way, "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he...

Builded Together part 2

09/25/2018 19:48

Let me quote my passage of Scripture again. Because I really want to pull some stuff out of it in this Rant series. Ephesians 2:19-22, "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the...

Builded Together part 1

Jesus was a carpenter, right? I think that's important. Because out of all of the professions in the world... our Lord and Savior was someone who built things. We think of God as an angry, distant diety sitting on a cloud waiting to strike us down. But that's the opposite of reality. Because in...

The Resurrection part 5

09/23/2018 19:47

The thing we seem to miss about what Jesus said in John 11:25, "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" is the part after "and." The part where Jesus said, "I am the resurrection AND the life." He wasn't talking...

The Resurrection part 4

09/22/2018 19:11

Here's what we're talking about: Resurrection. Number 386 in Strong's Greek Concordance. "A standing up again, that is, (literally) a resurrection from death, or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth)." I love that. Because THE Spiritual truth--the ultimate truth of the universe--is...

The Resurrection part 3

09/21/2018 19:29

All I want to say in this Rant series (and all I think I've been saying) is that the resurrection is not in your future. Its in your past. Eternal life doesn't start when you die. It has always been and will always be. And we jump into this river of living water (so to speak) through the waters of...

The Resurrection part 2

09/20/2018 19:37

The resurrection is not in your future. Its in your past. Jesus didn't say, "I will be the resurrection in the last day." "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25). And that's the truth that I want to hit...

The Resurrection part 1

09/19/2018 19:52

Now, before we even get started with this Rant series I'm going to put out a disclaimer: I'm not going to say everything there is to say about the resurrection in five daily Jesus Rants. I think a preacher could probably preach his whole life on the resurrection and barely scratch the surface. So...

Waketh part 5

09/18/2018 19:52

"Waketh" appears two times in the King James Version of the Bible. We used one of them, Song of Solomon 5:2, as our key verse for this Rant series. "I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head...
