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.

What Else? part 5

06/24/2017 11:29

When it comes down to it, what else really matters? You can spend your three t's (time, talent, treasure) trying to get something you (think you) haven't got... but that's not really living. And by doing that, you rob yourself OF really living. You know the old saying, "If you work for a living,...

Love is the only thing that matters. Especially when you're talking about why Jesus came--which is to give us life, and that more abundantly. Because love is what MAKES the abundant life abundant. Love is what makes life worth living. Because love is what makes living possible. Because to live is...

What Else? part 3

Its all about love. Because what else could it be about? What else matters? What else is life for? Life is for living. God matters, and people matter. Loving God and loving people. Loving God BY loving people. Loving God by letting Him first love us. When we were yet sinners--DEAD in our trespasses...

What Else? part 2

What else but love makes life worth living? Because, let's track this: "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love" (1 John 4:8) and "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). God IS love. And God (Jesus, God in the...

I asked Logan what I should Rant about today (as I often do) and his answer was the same as it always is: "Love. What else?" And while I know I make mistakes... that right there makes me feel confident that I've at least got him focused on the right thing. If I had to quote a Bible verse for what's...

Strength part 5

06/19/2017 16:28

You don't have to be a bully to prove that you're strong. In fact, I think bullies are some of the weakest people around. Because its easy to pick on people. Its easy to kick people when they're down. To attack things you don't agree with. None of that takes strength. But when you're ok with...

Strength part 4

Isn't it funny how much importance we put on first impressions? Even though at the same time we demand, "You can't judge a book by its cover." We love to label things and put them into boxes and then we expect them to stay there. But most of the time all that is is a recipe for disaster. Because...

Strength part 3

I had to look this quote up, and then when I found it it was by an unknown author. But I thnk it goes along with what I've been trying to say: "It is said that the greatest warrior is the one who never has to draw his sword." That's the thing about true inner strength, you don't have to run around...

Strength part 2

06/16/2017 19:10

There's an inner strength, an inner confidence, an inner peace, that comes from knowing who you are. Who you REALLY are. Who you are in Christ. Which is who Christ is in you. Because when you know who you really are, you don't have to try to be anybody else. When you know that the fire in you is...

Strength part 1

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is NOT fight back. Sometimes its better to stand tall and fast, on the Rock that is our foundation, and let the winds and the rain beat against us until the storm runs out of steam. Jesus said it like this, "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for...
