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.

Beloved part 5

The biggest difference between Jesus and anybody else is that Jesus was God's BELOVED Son. Now this does NOT mean that God doesn't love you. Of course He does. He IS love. He always has and He always will love you. But Jesus KNEW this truth. And it set Him free. It equipped and empowered Him to BE...

In order to BE loved, you have to SEE love. Because what you see IS what you be. I hear people say things like, "Well... you've just got to take it on faith." As if to say that if you have faith, something will happen. Guys. That's not faith. That's hope. Faith is the EVIDENCE of things hoped for....

Its all about love. Everything--EVERYTHING--flows from love. Look at John 1:3, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Him, of course, being Jesus. The Word of God. Which is love. All things were made by love. And without love was not anything made that...

One of the most important things about the truth is that it is true whether you believe it or not. That's why its the truth. The immutable truth. The unconditional love of the God who IS love. But its when you KNOW the truth that it sets you free and makes you free. Its when you KNOW that you've...

I feel like I've Ranted on this subject before, and maybe even called it by the same name. But, if so, here we go again. Because I think its important. I read somewhere that we accept the love we think we deserve. And that's a problem because we are with ourselves 100% of the time. We know all of...

Feed Them part 5

06/29/2017 08:52

I saw a sign the other day that said, "Today's Menu: Eat it or starve!" And while that's really kind of funny--my mom told us many times when we were growing up that her house was not a restaurant where you could just order up anything you wanted--when it comes to feeding God's sheep, and His...

Feed Them part 4

The best way to show God that you love Him, is to love people. And the best way to show people you love them, is to feed them. In the natural AND the Spiritual. Seeing a need and meeting that need may seem like a small thing, but its really the biggest thing you can do. I've heard it said like...

Feed Them part 3

When Simon Peter was given a chance to redeem himself (in a sense) after denying Jesus, Jesus didn't just ask for verbal confirmation of Peter's love. He showed Peter HOW to love. He told Peter to feed His lambs, and His sheep. Because whatever you do unto the least of them, you do unto the Lord....

Feed Them part 2

As important as natural food is--and it IS important--Spiritual food is like nothing else. If I can say it this way--if you find someone who feeds your soul... that's a rare and precious thing. Because our true identity is the inner man. The hidden man of the heart. And our true food and drink is...

Feed Them part 1

06/25/2017 17:39

I think its interesting how often the Bible talks about food. And, more specifically, eating. And, even MORE specifically, FEEDING people. This isn't the main thrust of my Rant series, but in Mark chapter 5 there's a story of Jesus raising a little girl from the dead. And immediately after...
