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.

Ravished part 5

Love--the kind of unselfish, completely selfless, sacrificial love that IS the God who is love--seems way too good to be true. I mean, in this day and age it seems like people won't even accept a compliment without looking for an ulterior motive. Its like the world has beaten us down to the point...

Its all about receiving and releasing. Receiving BY releasing. That's what Jesus was talking about in John 13:34, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." Because we can't love each other until we know and believe that God...

If you let it, God's love will ravish you. With even one glimpse into the grace in His eyes He will enclose you. Transport you. Carry you away to, well, let me say it like this: From hell to heaven. From death to life. But, like a seed, we need to make sure God's love is planted in good soil. And...

We saw yesterday--in Proverbs 5:19--that we are to be ravished always with love. And when I looked that word up in Strong's Hebrew Concordance I got a little bit of a surprise. Because it is number 7686 and it means, "to stray, to mistake, to transgress; by extension to reel, be enraptured." And I...

There are a lot of interesting questions in the Bible. And some of them even get answered. Like Luke 3:10-11, "And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do...

Mind Over Matter part 5

02/04/2018 12:13

When you let the mind of Christ (that's already in you) be in you--by using it--that's when the cares of the world don't seem to matter as much. Let me say it another way, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). And...

Mind Over Matter part 4

What you give power to is what has power in your life. Because love is all powerful. So any power anywhere else comes from you giving it away. Which is why I can't really understand why we make mountains out of molehills so often. Its like the old saying, "Don't tell God how big the storm is......

Mind Over Matter part 3

Love is all powerful. Which doesn't mean MOST powerful, but means, has ALL the power. There is NO other power. When God arises, His enemies are scattered. When the light shines, the darkness flees. Now watch this: "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet...

Mind Over Matter part 2

If you don't mind... it don't matter. That's what's been on my heart recently. The whole idea of how we let ourselves get wrecked so often by the smallest things. Perceived slights. We think someone is being rude to us, when the truth is they probably aren't thinking about us at all. See, I'm...

Mind Over Matter part 1

01/31/2018 19:56

The phrase that's stuck in my head... and when that happens sometimes I figure I oughta write about it... is, "If you don't mind, it don't matter." And what I'm going to try to say for the next few days is just that: You don't have to let everything that happens on the outside affect what is...
