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.

Be Still part 5

I've been Ranting a lot recently about how less is more sometimes. About how sometimes the least you can do is the most you can do. But that's actually NOT what I want to say tonight. Because to end this Rant series about being still--calming the storm inside so that what's REALLY inside can come...

When we are still, that's when (and how) we know that He (Jesus, God in the flesh, love in a body... God in OUR flesh, love in OUR body) is God. And I think its interesting that in Psalm 46:10 the word "God" is number 430 in Strong's Hebrew Concordance and it means "the supreme God." So its almost...

There's a cool passage in the Message Bible of the story where Peter walks on water. Its in Matthew chapter 14. And when Peter takes his eyes off of Jesus and looks at the wind and the waves... and starts to sink... in the KJV it reads like this, "And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and...

We always want to change the outside. Clean it up. Make it look better. Calm the storm. But in reality, the only way we can affect the outside is by getting right on the inside. In order to calm the storm, we must be still and know that HE is God. In order to change the outside we have to...

I want to focus on two Bible verses in this Rant series in order to (hopefully) edify y'all a little bit. And I'm just going to give the two verses I want to link right from the jump. Ready? Mark 4:39, "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased,...

Night Light part 5

11/16/2017 19:41

Take a ride with me as I try to finish off this Rant series. 1 John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." Ok. Well, I think this verse is phrased backwards. I think the way it...

Night Light part 4

Being nice, being kind, loving people, is how you let your light shine. And when you do that the darkness flees. Because what the world needs is love. And God is love. God is light. Letting the light shine is letting the love shine. The love of God. The "laying your life down for your friends,"...

Night Light part 3

Here's where it gets kind of cool. We've been talking about the receiving part of the light. The part that benefits us. When there's darkness creeping in, and we let our light shine, the darkness flees. Right? But watch this: "Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine...

Night Light part 2

Sometimes you can feel the darkness creeping in. But you have to remember that there's a light in your house. You ARE the light of the world. The light is in you, and the light IS you. And when the light shines, the darkness flees. Let me say it like this: "This then is the message which we have...

This Rant series is inspired by my son's night light. It was flickering when we plugged it in, and he quickly reminded me how important it is. You better believe we'll be getting a new one in the next couple of days. You know, just in case. But here's what I want to say as far as the Spiritual...
