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.

New True part 4

03/31/2018 19:59

It feels like a totally and completely new you. But really it is the true you emerging from under all the... stuff... the world has thrown at you. Because you are IN the world, but not OF the world, right? That white stone with the name of Jesus written on it is your ticket into the Kingdom. Into...

New True part 3

The interesting thing about the white stone that has our new (true) name written in it... is that the white stone was used as a ticket of admission to public events. So let me try to paint another picture of what we're talking about here. Water baptism. The act of the old man dying in a watery...

New True part 2

Our new name is our true name. Our new nature is our new nature. Not the selfish, sinful beast nature but the love nature. That's who we really are. And what I want to say today is: "New" is really a return to the original. Its the God who is love putting things right through the death, burial, and...

New True part 1

I want to kind of pick up on a thread that I started pulling in the last Rant series. And it comes from Revelation 2:17, "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white...

Whatsoever part 5

03/27/2018 19:52

Back to where we started. Colossians 3:17, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." To me this is a vitally important memory verse. To me, this is another way of saying that love is unconditional. Because the emphasis...

Whatsoever part 4

03/26/2018 19:54

Its all about doing whatever you do from a place of love. From a place of giving what you've got, instead of trying to be someone you're not in order to get something you think you haven't got. But lets keep going with our passage in Colossians chapter 3. Verse 16 says, "Let the word of Christ...

Whatsoever part 3

03/25/2018 19:58

Continuing with our study of Colossians 3:14-17 brings us today to verse 15, "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." So you know how I always Rant about Christ's love controlling us? Because either we don't know (and believe)...

Whatsoever part 2

03/24/2018 20:17

Whatsoever you do... do it in love. Do it BECAUSE of love. That's what this Rant series is trying to say. But I want to get into the passage in Colossians chapter 3 that I quoted yesterday. So today let's do Colossians 3:14, "And above all these put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."...

Whatsoever part 1

03/23/2018 20:12

I mentioned the other day that I did a Guerrilla Gospel video with this title, and I'm kind of stuck on it. And you know by now what I do when I'm stuck on something--I preach it until I'm empty on it. So let me quote the passage of Scripture first, then we'll get into it. "And above all these...

Let It Be part 5

03/22/2018 19:57

I want to change focus a little bit tonight. Which, granted, is a little bit strange to do at the end of a Rant series. But this is what's on my heart today: Sometimes you need to just let it be. Or, as the movie Frozen taught us, let it go. Because sometimes you just make things worse by trying to...
