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.

Love is only inflexible in the point of it (HIM) never stopping. Otherwise, love will bend over backwards for literally anybody. When Jesus was lifted up on the cross He drew ALL men into Himself. He died for the WORLD. And His commandment was for US to love EACH OTHER in that same way. To let God...

Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things that break the easiest. Because they aren't flexible. They are hard, and rigid, but not necessarily strong. Some of the strongest things are the ones that can bend but not break. The things that can take what's presented to them and accept it. Or,...

The thing about rules is... rules create rule breakers. Strict parents create sneaky kids. And, as always, I'm not saying you should be ok with any and every thing. I'm simply saying its wiser to train up a child in the way he SHOULD go than to crush his spirit with all the things he's not allowed...

Love is flexible. Because love doesn't demand His own way. Love lets people be who they are... and loves them anyway. That's why love never fails. Because love endures. Love never fails because love never gives up. That's basically the only way in which love is not flexible. Other than not giving...

I think sometimes we get our minds so fixed on something that we make issues more important than people. And if you've followed my ministry for any length of time you probably know that I think there are only two truly important things in the universe: God, and people. Love God, and love people....

According to your faith, so it shall be unto you. Jesus said that when He was healing someone's eyes. Because that's what faith is all about; its not believing in order to get something to happen. That's not faith. That's hope. It's knowing that something HAS happened. When Jesus said, "Have faith...

You have the power to choose. You can accept what the world is screaming in your face, and in a sense serve the god known as mammon... or you can believe what your heavenly Father says about you in the still, small voice, and "serve" Him by letting Him live His abundant, everlasting, eternal,...

You can believe whatever you want. And you don't need my permission for that. I think you know by now that I'm perfectly ok NOT trying to convince anybody of, well, anything really. In fact, for the most part (aside from the Rants and videos), I keep my opinions to myself unless someone asks me....

There are two tales being told at any given time. There's the stuff on the surface, that the world tries to convince you of by screaming it at the top of its lungs, and then there's something deeper. Something real, and true. And whichever one you believe, that's the one you will experience. If you...

I used this verse in my last Rant series but, believe it or not, I kind of got stuck on it. Because I think we need to really get some things straight. Some things about faith, and some things about what we have faith IN. So. Matthew 9:29 says, "Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your...
