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.

Supply and Demand part 5

09/22/2017 20:35

The world demands love. Even when it does so by crying out. ESPECIALLY when it does so by crying out. I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, or put a negative connotation on things, but sometimes people act like babies when they don't know what else to do. All a baby knows is: "I'm hungry." Or,...

When the supply and the demand are the same thing, it is simple (notice I didn't say EASY) to meet the demand with your own supply. Confused? Let me say it like this: We all need love. Or, as the Beatles put it, love is all you need. So even though I believe we are completely controlled by Christ's...

Supply and Demand part 3

Here's one of the areas in which we seem to get into trouble--and not only get into trouble, but STAY in trouble--we stretch ourselves too thin. And, listen, I'm definitely of the opinion that its better to burn out than rust out. Rest is not inactivity. It is Holy Spirit directed activity. And the...

Supply and Demand part 2

In economics, supply and demand have a very interesting relationship. If supply is high, demand is usually low. But if supply is low, that makes demand high. In the upside down backwards economy of the Kingdom its very interesting because the demand is high... everybody--EVERYBODY--wants, desires,...

Supply and Demand part 1

Let's keep going on this theme of the "bullets" in our "gun" when it comes to "Spiritual warfare." And by all of that I mean lets keep looking at the personality profile of Jesus. Lets keep looking at different aspects of love. Because when the only battle left, after Jesus went to the cross and...

Endurance and Patience part 5

09/17/2017 18:02

It is, I would say, impossible to love someone without endurance and patience. Because love is not about being nice to someone when they are easy to be nice to. Anybody can do that. And love is a sacrifice. Giving everything you are and everything you have to someone no matter how they respond to...

Endurance and Patience part 4

09/16/2017 19:50

We all have baggage. I think that's a big part of what I'm trying to say in this Rant series. And because we all have baggage, we all need to give each other a break. We need to stop putting our own ideas of how other people should act (or react) to things out there. And we should focus on how WE...

Endurance and Patience part 3

I tried pretty much all day today before writing this Rant to think of a situation in my life where I made a rash decision and it made things better. But I couldn't do it. And, listen, some things are no brainers. If someone needs help... you help them. But that's not what I mean by rash. I mean a...

Endurance and Patience part 2

09/14/2017 18:30

Before God made cows, He made grass. Because He always provides what is needed before it is needed. The Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. Before there was ever a sinner, there was a Savior. So when God provides us with endurance and patience... its safe to say that we are going to...

Endurance and Patience part 1

09/13/2017 19:45

I'm still kind of on this idea of what "Spiritual warfare" is really supposed to be. Because I DO not like the idea of fighting against sin. I don't think we're supposed to fight AGAINST anything. And, listen, I'm not saying you should be ok with everything. If you don't stand for something you'll...
