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.

Happy Thoughts part 5

07/24/2017 18:30

You can believe whatever you want. I think I've gone on record saying that many times. But my question is: If there's a more excellent way (and there IS a more excellent way) why wouldn't you choose that? I generally quote Deuteronomy 30:19 when I talk about this choice, so I'll go ahead and do so...

Happy Thoughts part 4

God has happy thoughts toward us. Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us the expected end that took place on the cross when He gave us His only begotten Son. When He gave us Himself. When He gave us His Spirit. When He gave us His mind. And because He has given us His mind, we not only know...

When things don't go your ways... that's when its most important to see the bigger picture. The grand scheme. God's master plan. To know His thoughts for you--thoughts of peace, and not of evil... an expected end that ended at the cross. The end of the old and the beginning of the new. New life so...

You don't have to believe everything you think. Seriously. I'm not sure exactly where thoughts come from... past experience has a lot to do with it, I think... but just because you think something is true doesn't necessarily make it so. And I can say this from my own past experience. I'm a pretty...

Your thought life is vitally important. Because the way you think about things literally affects how you deal with things. If you see something as "bad," for example, you're way more likely to try to fight against that thing. But if you see the same thing as "good," then you'll probably be more...

Immortality part 5

07/19/2017 14:33

If we're talking about life--which is, believe it or not, most of what Jesus talked about--then we're talking about love. So if we're talking about living forever, then we're talking about loving forever. Because love never fails. It LASTS forever. Immortality isn't necessarily about our human...

Immortality part 4

07/18/2017 16:21

Living forever means loving forever. It is something that is incorruptible. Something that lasts, far beyond this mortal time. So I think anytime we act in love--which is charity--we experience this immortality. Jesus gave it to us, so we have it. But its not something that ever starts or ends. It...

Immortality part 3

07/17/2017 18:09

The abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God--the gift of God that is a life of being loved and loving one another with that same love--always has been and always will be. It is not something that happens when you die. Physically dying is just transitioning into something different...

Immortality part 2

07/16/2017 18:12

Here's my thought for today: Immortality has come to LIGHT through the gospel. I think that's important. Because when you think about it, immortality has always been, and will always be. It didn't start when Jesus died. Its like the way Melchisedec is described in Hebrews 7:3, "Without father,...

Immortality part 1

07/15/2017 18:12

Well that's a pretty big subject, isn't it? One of my favorite movies tackles it--Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade--but I'm not talking about a literally fountain of youth here (or, as seen in the movie, the holy grail). And, don't get me wrong, Psalm 103:5 does say, "Who satisfieth thy mouth...
