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.

The Life part 4

Its amazing to me the way "religious folk" will spend (waste) their three T's (time, talent, treasure) trying to make sure they get a good afterlife. Trading the present for a hopeful future. And, I know, its folly to live like there's no tomorrow. Because then tomorrow comes and you've suffering...

The Life part 3

A life of love. Which is a life of service. Because love is giving. Laying your life down for your friends. Giving everything you have and everything you are. A life of love. A life worth living. And the key to the whole thing is BEING loved. Because you can't give what you don't have. We CAN lay...

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Way to God. The Truth about God. The Life of God. The Way to Love. The Truth about Love. The Life of Love. That makes sense, right? Because God is love? If we're talking about God, we're talking about love. And vice versa. Yesterday we looked at the...

To me, if we're going to talk about the Life that Jesus is... the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of Love... one of the best ways to illustrate it is with John 1:4, "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." Light and life. Two pictures of the same thing. And even...

The Truth part 5

If all you have is a lie... that's what you'll believe. You can't give what you don't have, and you can only give what you do have. That's why the Truth (which is Jesus, which is love) is so important. Knowing and believing that we are loved is what equips and empowers us TO love. Knowing and...

The Truth part 4

07/24/2018 19:53
Your thought life is powerful. Nobody talks to you as much as you do. And what you do flows from what you believe. What you think is true. So its very important to exercise self control. You don't have entertain every thought that comes into your head. You don't have to believe everything you...

The Truth part 3

07/23/2018 20:05
Here's the thing about the truth... it (HE) set you free and made you free. Like 2000 years ago on the cross. When the light of the world shined and revealed God's love for us. Revealed that God IS love TO us. But, even though we ARE free, so many of us still act like we're under bondage. We still...

The Truth part 2

07/22/2018 19:53
The ultimate truth of the universe goes like this, "God is love and He loves you." That's where we stand. That's the Rock that we build on. That's our foundation. And until we not only KNOW that truth, but BELIEVE that truth--get it past head knowledge and into heart knowledge--we will forever try...

The Truth part 1

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That's where I'm at these days. He is the Way to love. The Truth about love. The Life of love. So... as we saw in the last Rant series, the Way TO love is the Way OF love. That straight and narrow path that leads to life. Because living is loving and loving...

The Way part 5

07/20/2018 20:07
The Way TO life is the Way OF life! Living and loving. Loving and living. Letting your heart guide the way so you even if you go of course, you can turn back and follow that straight and narrow path. And here's what I want to say to end this Rant series: Just because love is straight and narrow...
