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.

Edification part 5

06/04/2017 17:43

Things get broken. That's called life. And sometimes its nothing cataclysmic at all. Sometimes its just general wear and tear. I've long held the opinion that the hardest part of life is living. Sometimes its all we can do to just show up. But its important to realize that showing up is way more...

I think this verse goes along with what I was trying to say yesterday: "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not" (1 Corinthians 10:23). We CAN do whatever we want. And if you don't believe that you're fooling yourself....

"It doesn't cost anything to be nice." I agree with that statement 100%. And yet... it seems like its so much easier to be mean. And when people do mean, selfish, wicked things it seems like they shrug their shoulders and blame "human nature." They say, "Meh. I'm only human. What do you expect?"...

When you edify someone you build them up. You know, as opposed to tearing them down. You, as our key verse in Romans chapter 15 tells us, bear the infirmities of the weak. Don't sell people out... HELP people out. Because, at the end of the day, we're all in this together. The "us vs them"...

You all know I'm hard to bother, right? I'm mostly unflappable. But one thing I REALLY don't like... is bullies. It drives me nuts when someone thinks they can be mean just because they're bigger or stronger than someone else. And I know this has rubbed off on Logan, because he always sticks up for...

Now part 5

We have everlasting life through our faith in Jesus, right? I think we can all agree to that. But the fact remains that we only have ONE life to live. So rather than letting the past drag us down, or the letting the future scare us with what might (or might not) happen... instead of waiting for...

Now part 4

I want to take a little bit of a different view on things today. I want to focus on Hebrews 11:1. In the King James version of the Bible it reads, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." And that phrase, "Now faith" is where I'm at right now. Because we...

Now part 3

The future is always trying to pull us forward, while the past is constantly trying to hold us back. The trick is to live RIGHT NOW, with an eye to future, and by LEARING from your past but not letting it define you. I said that's the trick, because it can be kind of tricky. Its a balance. You...

Now part 2

05/27/2017 17:19

Worrying about the future can rob you of living in the present. You need a balance. In my opinion its a little bit foolish to live as if today was your last day. (And I really do understand the sentiment about not putting things off until tomorrow, because there might not BE a tomorrow. But at the...

Now part 1

I know I've preached and Ranted on this before, but I'm convinced that God has a master plan. A masterful master plan in which all things (that are already IN Divine Order, because of the cross) are revealed to BE in Divine Order. In which the Son(s) of God manifest in the earth and begin to rule...
