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.

New Things part 4

01/04/2021 17:58

This is, to me, the whole point of Jesus making all things new: "Therefore we are buried with him by baptims into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:4). There's a lot to get into before you hit...

Today I want to look at our new name. And I take this concept directly from Revelation 2:17, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name...

Our key verse for this Rant series is 2 Corinthinas 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." And yesterday we kind of touched on a few of these new things. Newness of life. A new name. A new heart. A new Spirit....

It's a New Year. So what better time than now to look at some of the new things that were promised to us in the Bible (and came to fruition through the cross). I'm going to list some of them, and then over the next few days we'll really dig in to some of them. So let's start with 2 Corinthians...

Execute Judgment part 5

12/31/2020 18:34

There's this idea that seems to floating around in our collective mindset that says, "How I judge things is how they are." Like, if I think something about something, or someone, that's what's what. But let's be real for a second. How often do you know the whole story? Even when it's YOUR story....

Execute Judgment part 4

12/30/2020 20:26

The judgment has already been made. It has already been passed down (from Father to Son) and written in the Book of Life. In fact... the judgment IS the book of life! Look at Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." That death took place 2,000 years...

Execute Judgment part 3

It's all about giving what you've got. But that can be tricky when you think you've only got "bad" stuff. Whatever you believe--be it the lie of the world or the report of the Lord--is what will manifest in your life. So it's important that you know the truth. If you know the truth you can ignore...

Execute Judgment part 2

12/28/2020 17:06

I guess you can say it like this if you want: It's not our job to judge, it's our job to execute the judgment that has been written. It's not our place to decide who deserves what. It's our place to give what our heavenly Father has given us... to everybody we come into contact with. Because that's...

Execute Judgment part 1

I think there are a lot of misunderstandings about the Bible. I mean, you can pretty much make it say anything you want to by taking things out of context and that old twisted Scripture. But I can't fix all of that in one sitting. So the sacred cow I want to knock over in this Rant series is the...

Giving part 5

12/26/2020 19:48

Love is giving. When your heart is full of love, you will have that intense desire to give what you've got. You'll see a need and you'll WANT to fill it. That's what it means to do things heartily--doing something to the best of your ability, because it's in your heart to do it. And that's God...
