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.

Crossed Out part 1

01/11/2016 10:20

I want to spend the next few day exploring some of the aspects of what was accomplished on the cross. I don't think I fully understand ALL of it, but writing helps me get a better handle on things. So... ok. The first thing I want to look at is Colossians 1:13, "Who hath delivered us from the power...

Wisdom part 5

01/10/2016 15:32

I really think we make things too hard sometimes. Most times. We make mountains out of molehills and create problems just so we'll have something to complain about. All the while refusing to ask for (or even receive) help because we think needing help makes us weak, and we don't realize that His...

Wisdom part 4

01/09/2016 15:15

With all your getting, get wisdom. It's that important. Understanding what we know is that important. Not just head knowledge--knowing ABOUT God--but heart knowledge--KNOWING God. Wisdom is where the head MEETS the heart. Where things line up. You can't keep fighting between head and heart. Between...

Wisdom part 3

01/08/2016 12:29

I can't stress how important wisdom is. Getting your head and your heart lined up is vital to living the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life. Why? Because "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways" (James 1:8). If you're constantly battling internally you'll never be able to...

Wisdom part 2

01/07/2016 12:23

More and more I'm coming to understand that there really are two "realms." The world-- the appearance realm, the surface realm, the visible realm-- and the Kingdom-- the Spirit realm, the deep realm, the invisible, eternal realm. And look at where wisdom falls: "Behold, thou desirest truth in the...

Wisdom part 1

01/06/2016 08:55

I read this the other day, and I really want to explore it. "Wisdom is where the head and the heart meet." I think this is important. Because we always seem to have this idea of the head and the heart being at war with one another. Like... the heart wants one thing, and the head wants something...

The T-shirt part 5

01/05/2016 11:46

There's such a gigantic difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge. Ephesians 3:19 puts it like this, "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." Not just knowing ABOUT the love of Christ, but KNOWING the love of...

The T-shirt part 4

Let me quote my Scripture for today before we get into it. Romans 5:3-5, "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts...

The T-shirt part 3

01/03/2016 12:41

When you've been there, done that, and got the t-shirt... you know the way. You know what to do, and perhaps even more importantly, you know what NOT to do. You've made some mistakes along the way, sure, but as long as you've learned from them--as long as you don't keep repeating them--then you're...

The T-shirt part 2

01/02/2016 11:39

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. That's experiential knowledge. Heart knowledge. Not just knowing ABOUT something, but KNOWING it. And that's how our relationship with God can be, now, on this side of the cross. The Holy Spirit is our love receptor. He has equipped and empowered us to...
