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.

Sup part 5

12/11/2017 20:06

Jesus stands at the door and knocks. The door of our hearts. Which, when you consider that He already lives in our hearts, seems like a very gentlemanly thing to do. Its His house. He built it. WE are the house that the carpenter Jesus built. (And yes, I realize carpenters traditionally build...

You are what you eat. Really. Naturally AND Spiritually. If you eat junk food, you won't be entering any body building competitions. If you "eat" or digest what the world has to offer, you'll think you're not worthy of love. (Unfortunately, the same can be said for what a lot of the church world...

Sup part 3

It IS kind of a tricky subject... the idea of eating WITH Jesus by EATING Jesus. In fact, when He preached about it He lost a bunch of followers. Because it seems, well, crazy. Especially, I imagine, back then when a real life flesh and blood person was telling people to eat His flesh and drink His...

Sup part 2

12/08/2017 19:48

A big part of life is supping, or eating, with each other. Gathering around the family table. And I know "in this day and age" when it seems like we go, go, go and rarely ever have a chance to sit down and break bread, this concept may have lost some of its... not appeal, exactly, because I think...

Sup part 1

12/07/2017 20:16

First things first: While I have been known to say, "Sup?" instead of "What's up?" that's not what this Rant series is about. Its about love. (That should be pretty obvious by now, right?) Its about Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the...

Heart Knowledge part 5

12/06/2017 19:43

We always want to wage war. Especially between the head and the heart. We want things to "make sense" but we also want things to "feel right." And a lot of the time those two don't line up. Its only when we understand that the heart of the God and the mind of Christ are the same thing that we can...

Heart Knowledge part 4

12/05/2017 19:51

When we listen to our hearts--to that still, small voice inside of us--we get our perspectives straight. Because the heart only knows one thing. It only wants one thing. Love. And when I say it only wants love, that doesn't mean it wants something it doesn't have. Because love is never about...

Heart Knowledge part 3

12/04/2017 19:48

This is what the heart knows: Love. The heart knows how to love, and the heart knows how to respond to love. And here's a key for you: You respond to love by loving. Receiving and releasing the love of God. Letting God love you, and loving Him back by loving others. That's what the heart knows. And...

Heart Knowledge part 2

12/03/2017 19:42

The heart wants what it wants. But so many times we don't follow our hearts. Because it doesn't "make sense" to our heads. That's that constant struggle between fact and truth. What the world is screaming at us (at the top of its lungs) vs what the Word of the Lord is speaking to us (in that still,...

Heart Knowledge part 1

12/02/2017 18:47

My inspiration for this Rant series is Ephesians 3:19, "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." Because as good as knowing something is (in your brain), some things pass knowledge completely and you know them in your heart....
