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.

Live by Faith part 4

09/07/2018 19:27

Here's the thing: You can't live without living by faith. The trick is choosing what to put your faith IN. Because, whether we realize it or not, we DO live from the inside out. What we believe is inside comes out. Always. You can't give what you don't have. And you can only give what you do have....

I've been thinking a lot about the term "the just shall live by faith." And today I took out two words from that phrase. I took out "the" and "shall." Which left me with "just live by faith." And I think that's how strongly I need to say it: Just live by faith. Don't worry about anything else....

Faith kind of gets a bad rap sometimes, in my opinion. Because we use it when we mean "hope." Like we want to try to will something into existence--something that we hope would happen--and we call it faith. That's not faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things...

There are four verses in the KJV that say, "The just shall live by faith." Well, one of them says, "The just shall live by his faith." But you get the point. So its funny to me that we always hear about WALKING by faith but not LIVING by faith. And, really, they are kind of the same thing. God made...

Revelation is so vitally important to this "Christian" life. This walk--this life--of faith. Because you can't believe in something that you don't know. And that's what revelation is: Its knowing the truth. Look at Revelation 1:1, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew...

Honey part 4

Honey makes things taste good. Which is one of the things I think we miss when we're dealing with the gospel. We make it about doom and gloom. We make it about fiery end times. We make it about "get right or get left." We make it about anything and everything BUT love. And I think part of the...

Honey part 3

09/01/2018 19:36

I'm a pretty simple guy. So I try to make things simple. Especially when it comes to God. I have a bachelor's degree in theology. Which is in no way bragging, just to put it out there that I have (and do, and will continue to) study this stuff. Because I'm kind of obsessed with it. Obsessed with...

Honey part 2

Milk and honey. Righteousness and revelation. The revelation OF righteousness. That's what flows out of the Promised Land. That's what equips and empowers us to live the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God--by letting Jesus live it in us, and through us, and as us. Because the...

Honey part 1

08/30/2018 19:55

The Promised Land flows with milk and honey. Milk is righteousness. Honey is revelation. There's a story in 1 Samuel where Saul ordered his men not to eat until they had defeated the enemy. "And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his...

Milk part 5

08/29/2018 19:37

The milk of righteousness. Drinking it in as a way of knowing what's in. Because faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word of God. Which is Jesus, which is love. That's how you fill yourself to overflowing with what you've already been filled with. You listen to that still, small voice...
