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.

Let It Be part 4

03/21/2018 19:54

I did a Guerrilla Gospel video last night called "Whatsoever." And the point was, whatsoever you do... do it in love. Do it because its in your heart to do it. And that's really where the rubber meets the road on this idea of letting it be. Because its (somewhat) possible to let things be even...

People are going to do what people are going to do. They just are. Always have, always will. So even if you were to look at this idea of Revelation 22:11, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous...

Love does not demand its (HIS) own way. Which is another way of saying love is unconditional. Which is another way of saying we ought to let people be who they are... and love them anyway. Let me make this as simple as I can: Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. And we are to love one...

Yes, one of my favorite Beatles songs. And yes, I understand that there are some things that we should NOT stand for. You know the old saying, "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything." But when it comes to relationships we really should follow the words of Revelation 22:11, "He...

Empathy part 5

03/17/2018 20:12

Seeing things from another point of view. Walking a mile in someone else's shoes. Not necessarily the easiest thing to do all the time. But kind of important when it comes to the idea of loving people. Because love does not demand its (HIS) own way. Love lets people be who they are and do what...

Empathy part 4

I don't like to start a Rant with a memory verse, or a definition. So I usually point out how I don't like to do it... then do it. Like so: Dictionary.com defines "empathy" as, "the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another."...

Empathy part 3

03/15/2018 19:50

When you can see something from someone else's point of view, that's when you truly begin to understand them. And I've said this many times you before--you can't love someone (or something) that you don't understand. Because love doesn't demand its (HIS) own way. And unless you understand where...

Empathy part 2

03/14/2018 20:09

This is the verse that I had in mind when I decided to write this Rant series about empathy, "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep" (Romans 12:15). Because, basically, that's what empathy is. Its getting down to someone's level. Not expecting anything from them, but...

Empathy part 1

03/13/2018 19:55

This one is easy for me, because for whatever reason I can almost always see both sides. Its not a hard thing for me to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. But I also think its vitally important. Because the purpose of walking a mile in someone else's shoes is understanding them. Remember I keep...

Peacemaker part 5

03/12/2018 20:28

I've been purposefully neglecting part of our key verse for this Rant series, because I knew I wanted to focus on it today to wrap the thing up. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9). And its that first word that I want to focus on. "Blessed."...
