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.

Nieghbor part 4

06/29/2018 19:48

What if, "Just being neighborly," meant more than picking up someone's mail for them when they went out of town? What if it meant loving them like they were your favorite? Giving everything you have and everything you are for someone, just because they are a person. And because they are a person,...

Neighbor part 3

As my father says (at any given occasion), "You can never be too nice to people." Biblically, "Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification" (Romans 15:2). And this goes with what I was Ranting about in the last series--more than just working no ill... do good. Because love...

Neighbor part 2

Would you be my, could you be my, won't you be my neighbor? Even in the not so distant future, that word "neighbor" meant something. I think we've possibly lost a lot of it these days... I think it went the way of family dinners. People don't seem to want to know their neighbors anymore. Much less...

Neighbor part 1

06/26/2018 19:43

I'm stuck on this idea of treating everybody like they're your favorite. Showing love to them, in other words. So I want to spend a few days looking at the idea of our neighbor. And to do that I need to lay a foundation of a little bit of Scripture. Ready? Ok. "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood...

No Ill part 5

06/25/2018 19:45

I have long thought that its important to have someone in your life that you are absolutely crazy about. And someone that is absolutely crazy about you. And in my case, for the last almost seven years, that has been the same person. My mini-me. My son. Logan. I always tell people, one of my...

No Ill part 4

06/24/2018 19:46

Perfect love fulfills the Law. Because everything--including the Law--is about love. Nothing was created except by, and through, and because of love. The God who IS love wanted to express Himself. So He created you and me. So that He could love us. So that He could love THROUGH us. In us. As us....

No Ill part 3

06/23/2018 19:33

Let's talk about the Law a little bit. I know, its not my favorite subject either. But our memory verse for this Rant series, Romans 13:10, says, "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." And I don't want to ignore that last part. I want to say a few...

No Ill part 2

06/22/2018 19:34

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour. That's from Romans 13:10. And I think its interesting that Paul wrote love as if He was a person. Because, of course, He IS a person. God is love. Jesus is God in the flesh, love in a body. God in your flesh. Love in your body. Jesus is your true identity....

No Ill part 1

06/21/2018 19:40

I always seem to come back to the nature of love. We have the love nature. Our new (true) nature that was revealed to us when Jesus laid His life down on the cross. When Jesus gave His life for us and to us. Love is not just what God does, love is who God is. And as He is, so are we in this world....

Self Care part 5

06/20/2018 19:35

The best way--perhaps the only way--to truly take care of yourself is to let your heavenly Father take care of you. And you let God take care of you, by taking care of others. By receiving and releasing the gift of God that He gave to you 2,000 years ago on an old rugged cross. By letting God love...
