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.

Once upon a time I heard a preacher go on a rant (not a Jesus Rant, haha) about how we need to make sure to NOT identify ourselves as sheep. Because sheep are dumb and they get themselves into trouble quite a bit. They need constant looking after. A shepherd. And the guy's point was that we need to...

I mentioned the story of Jonah earlier in this Rant series. And I think the biggest lesson to be learned from that story is this: God knows what He's doing. He knows what's best... for you. I usually quote Jeremiah 29:11 here. But for the sake of variety I'm going with Isaiah 46:10, "Declaring the...

They say a boss makes workers and a leader makes more leaders. That's a crucial difference. Look at Romans 8:29, "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." That's what happened on the cross! In...

The good Shepherd feeds us and leads us. But look at WHERE He leads us to: "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes" (Revelation 7:17). He leads us to the fountain of living...

Before I quote my main Bible verse for this Rant series I want to qualify what we're talking about. Because many many times the Bible (and preachers of the Bible) talk about natural things Spiritually. And we're going to do that. But at the same time, we can't ignore the fact that, "Howbeit that...

Bubbling Brook part 5

We are the brook. Or the fountain. Or the garden. Whichever picture you prefer. New Jerusalem. And there's a river running through us. A river of living water. When the wind of the Holy Spirit blows, it stirs up that water. Stirs up what's inside us. The LOVE inside us. Because what else could we...

Everything acts according to it's nature. God set up this truth way back in the beginning. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so" (Genesis 1:11). In other...

The best part--well, I should say ONE of the best parts, because the more God (love) reveals Himself to me, the more "best parts" I end up finding--about God is that He never requires ANYTHING unless He first provides it. This is seen pretty clearly in the story of Abraham and Isaac. Genesis 22:8...

Releasing what's inside by receiving it until you have filled yourself to overflowing with what God has already filled you with. That's pretty much all I seem to preach these days. Because that's what matters to me. That's how you love--by knowing and believing that you ARE loved. That's how you...

I think the expression is actually "babbling brook" because of the way it sounds; like a bunch of people babbling. But I'm tweaking it a little bit because I want to talk about what's inside coming out. What's inside coming BUBBLING out. Like a cup that has been filled to overflowing. Because...
