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.

The Three L's part 9

Walking in the light means you can see where you're going. Letting the Word (which is Jesus, which is love) be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. That way you can get to where you're supposed to be--to where God wants you to be. That's an important thing to understand: No matter what...

Living in the light of God's love. That's why we were created. That's what it means to experience His abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love by letting Him live His own life in us, and through us, and as us. It's all about letting what's inside come out... by knowing and...

Three in one, right? Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Different aspects of the one true God. In the same way: Life, Light, Love. When we begin to understand those Three L's, we begin to really understand the nature of God. And in understanding HIS nature, we can understand OUR nature. Because they are one...

When I think about love, one of the most important things--to me--is that it is unconditional. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Because it's not about what we do. It's about who we are... and who God is. God IS love. Love isn't just what He does, it's who He is. In order for God to not...

I preach and teach and Rant about this idea a lot, but that's not going to stop me from doing it again today: God is love. As seen in 1 John 4:16, "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." That word...

When Jesus said, "...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25), He was imparting a vital truth. Because at the time people were looking forward to "the last day." And, sadly, over 2,000 years later people are still looking...

There's a truth here that I think is important to grasp. And I guess you could call it the inheritance factor. What is passed down from Father to Son. And before we even get into it I want to say that an inheritance cannot be earned. It has nothing to do with what you do, and everything to do with...

Life, Light, Love. If I had to describe God with only three words... those would probably be my choices. Today I want to focus in on the aspect of "life." And what I want to say first and foremost is that this is not describing what we might (or might not) have someday in the sweet by and by. This...

I talk about the Three T's a lot--Time, Talent, Treasure. Because, to me, those are the things you can really control. Those are the things you have. So those are the things you can use. And you can either use them wisely--spend them, or invest them--or you can waste them. It's a bummer when I see...

This eternal life (the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God that is His life of love) is never-ending journey. And that's why it is the journey that is important. Not the destination. Especially when you consider that the destination... is where we start. When we look into the...
