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.

Basics part 5

12/01/2017 20:31

We just get distracted. I think that's one of the biggest Spiritual problems in the world. We know the truth, and the truth has set us free, and made us free. But we don't act like we're free. We let things that don't have any power at all... have power over us. We get so caught up in what's going...

When you get right down to the basics the Gospel (the good news) goes like this: God loves you. So you can love people. To me, its that simple. And that really does make it simple. Love people. Not to get something, but because you have something. Because love is never about getting. Because love...

Getting back to basics, for me, is kind of like the idea of centering yourself. Strengthening yourself in the Lord, if I can quote one of my favorite verses. Being still, and knowing that HE is God. That LOVE is God. Knowing that you don't have to do it all yourself, and you don't have to do it...

Its easy to get lost. Especially when you're running around like a chicken with your head cut off, looking for love in all the wrong places. Its easy to lose sight of what's really important. Especially when the world is screaming at you at the top of its lungs, and the Word of the Lord (which is...

Basics part 1

I like to get deep. Sometimes. With certain people. Because there are people in my life where I can send them a text with a memory verse and it'll be exactly what they need. And there are people in my life that I can talk about all of the crazy God stuff (LOVE stuff) that rattles around in my head...

Give Thanks part 5

11/26/2017 19:37

We've been talking about the attitude of gratitude, right? And about how when you give thanks for something you are blessing it. So let's finish this Rant series by taking it to the next level. 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning...

Give Thanks part 4

11/25/2017 19:38

When you give thanks for something (or TO someone) you bless it (or them). And that's important. Because a lot of times we take things (and people) for granted. We have somehow developed this kind of ridiculous sense of entitlement. We think the world owes us everything. When all the world will...

Give Thanks part 3

11/24/2017 19:15

I didn't know I was going to go here, but the last couple of days I've been thinking about the difference in translations--and how its not really a "difference," as much as a different way of looking at it--between Jesus looking to heaven and BLESSING the food before distributing it (in the NLT),...

Give Thanks part 2

11/23/2017 17:33

The attitude of gratitude. That's what it comes down to. Not necessarily bowing your head and closing your eyes and asking God for stuff. Not throwing a penny into the wishing well and hoping for the best. But looking to heaven and seeing things as they really are. Seeing that we have been supplied...

Give Thanks part 1

11/22/2017 17:03

Almost Thanksgiving, right? Might as well do a theme Rant series. And while I do want to get into the "attitude of gratitude" that we really ought to have... I want to start with kicking over some sacred cows. If that's ok. And if its not... read someone else's blog, I guess. Smiley face. Anyway....
