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.

Be part 1

12/12/2015 16:51

"Be" is a very small word, but a very important idea. Some of this I've touched on before, but I want to really explore. Because there's an absolute truth in the universe. But unless you know this truth, and believe this truth, it really doesn't mean anything to you. It's a gift. And even though...

The Conclusion part 5

12/11/2015 12:55

The conclusion sums it all up. You take it all in and you make it concise. You give it a bottom line. You pull out what is most important. The conclusion is love. Fear God--revere Him in awe, because His love is so awesome--and obey His commandment--the New Commandment for the New Man, to love one...

The Conclusion part 4

12/10/2015 11:25

Here's the conclusion. The thing that's above all else. The thing that's the most important. Here's the bottom line. Ready? In a Word... love. It's all about love. Love is what we crave. What we NEED. Without it, we have nothing. Without it, we abide in death. Which is why we're willing to spend...

The Conclusion part 3

12/09/2015 08:53

It's easy to get stuck on something. Believe me. It's easy to get caught up, swept up, and the next thing you know your molehill has become a mountain. You find yourself trying to overcome instead of resting in the One who already overcame. This life becomes about anything BUT living. Because to...

The Conclusion part 2

12/08/2015 09:19

When you get right down to it... it's all about love. Fear God and obey His commands. That's the whole story. The conclusion of the matter. But if you look at it on the surface, you might not see the love. Because love comes from the heart. It is underneath the surface stuff, buried down deep....

The Conclusion part 1

12/07/2015 12:17

A lot of times I wonder what in the world we're talking about. We get so stuck on things like "hell" and the "afterlife" that we miss out on things like the days of heaven on earth. Things like abundant life. We read the Law and the Prophets and we miss out on Jesus! Here's my point, and my key...

The Ride part 5

12/06/2015 11:28

If you enjoy the ride then it doesn't feel like a never-ending journey. It doesn't feel like a struggle to get somewhere. If you enjoy the ride then you understand that we have already arrived at the finish line. The journey isn't about getting anywhere. It's about discovering where we are. And who...

The Ride part 4

12/05/2015 10:55

Life is for living. But we seem to miss out on this truth as we rush from one thing to another trying to make life fit into a box. Trying to make things be how they're "supposed to be." We never seem to be able to slow down and just enjoy the ride. I read somewhere that the time you enjoy wasting...

The Ride part 3

12/04/2015 09:51

One of my favorite songs has a line in it that says, "Free and easy down the road I go." And when I hear that song I can't help but think that that's what Daddy wants for us. I know it's what I want for MY son... and I know that God's love for us is even more perfect (mature, complete, fully...

The Ride part 2

12/03/2015 10:45

Stuff happens. Every day. And basically we have two choices: 1. We can judge by appearance. We can ride the emotional rollercoaster. Way up when things are "good" and way down when things are "bad." But I can tell you right now--and you probably already know--that's exhausting. Not to mix my...
