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.

Second Death part 4

07/14/2021 16:18

The second death--the death of death--is not a bad thing. It is a good thing. A great thing. Because out of that second death comes the resurrection. Jesus' abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love! To live is to love and to love is to live. You can't have one without the other and...

Second Death part 3

The second death (the death OF death) led to the new life. The abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God that is a life of love. We know that we have passed from death unto life because we love each other. Love is the difference between life and death. No love, no life. Know love,...

Second Death part 2

The second death is the death... of death. And after death died, Resurrection Life could come forth. Let me say it another way: "Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more...

Second Death part 1

07/10/2021 19:46

This is kind of a big subject, and I debated whether or not to even attempt to tackle any part of it. But then I figured, why not? It's pretty important. And if I need to I can go further than part 5. This is MY blog after all. I make the rules. So, having said that, let's just right into it. I...

All Things part 5

07/09/2021 19:34

We know all things, and we have all things. Which means, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). When we begin to understand who we really are--when the scales of our own pride and self righteousness fall off and we can clearly see that the light of the world...

All Things part 4

07/08/2021 20:32

It's no much HAVING it all as it is USING what you have. To really (hopefully) drive this point home I want to link two verses of Scripture. 1 Corinthians 2:16 (NLT), "For, "Who can know the LORD's thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?" But we understand these things, for we have the mind of...

All Things part 3

07/07/2021 19:04

So we have all things (that pertain to life and godliness) and we know all things. So what, then, is the problem? I believe it is that we don't understand what we know, and we don't accept what we have. 1 Timothy 6:12 (NLT) addresses the latter. "Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold...

All Things part 2

07/06/2021 18:29

A lot of our problems in this life have to do with our pride. With that in mind I want to link two verses together in the hopes of helping us begin to UNDERSTAND everything we KNOW--which is all things. We have been given all things that pertain unto life and godliness. We have an unction from the...

All Things part 1

07/05/2021 19:32

There are two main topics I want to discuss in this Rant series. One is 1 John 2:20, "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." And the other is2 Peter 1:3, "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the...

Fullness part 5

07/04/2021 19:31

When you are filled with the fullness of God--the fullness of love--you can experience the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God. Because that's what the fullness is. It is the abundance that Jesus spoke of in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and...
