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.

I used to watch pro wrasslin with my dad every chance I got when I was a kid. And then I continued to watch it all the way up until I was a dad. Then I watched it with MY son. Which is pretty cool, I have to say, but isn't the point. The point is, there was a catch phrase that was pretty popular...

Sometimes we refer to God as a Higher Power, right? Well, I'm here to tell you that He is the HIGHEST power. Because He is love. And love is above all. But the amazing thing about love is that even though He IS above all... He came right down to us. He didn't expect us to jump a fence, or jump...

Above all else... there is love. Even under the Old Covenant Law of Moses Jesus summed it up by saying, "...Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like...

I always liked Matthew 23:23 (NLT), "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law--justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes,...

I quote that memory verse about setting your affection on things above, and not the things on the earth, a lot. Because I think its vitally important that we have our priorities in order. Its so easy to get lost in our own mess that we miss the message of the gospel. Which, as simply as I can put...

To end this Rant series, all I want to say is: A life lived in service to love is the only life worth living. Jesus proved that to us when He--out of love--gave His life for us, and to us. God showed His love for us by dying for us (and as us). He gave us everything He had and everything He was....

Either way, Christ's love controls us. No matter what we do, it comes from the central idea of love. Because either we believe we don't have it, and will do anything we can think of (looking for love in all the wrong places) to get it... or we know and believe that God loves us and we do everything...

Let's get a little bit of context. 2 Corinthians 5:13-14 (NLT), "If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Either way, Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all...

When we start to understand what this life is really all about--the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God that is a life of LOVE--we start to live in service to love. And by that I mean GIVING it, not trying to GET it. Because when we start to understand that the gift of God IS...

Here's my entire thought for this whole Rant series: It is important that we make sure the things we do are in service to the things we want. And I'm not talking about selfish desires. But even in that case... if you want ANYTHING, hard work is the best way to get it. Not Spiritual works and labor...
