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.

This goes right along with what I've been preaching lately. Which is why I'm Ranting it too. Guys, I don't preach and write because I have it all figured out. I preach and write IN ORDER to figure it all out. (Which is not to say that I'll ever figure it ALL out. But it's a quest for truth. A...

If we could just get past all of the stuff we get stuck on and focus on what's really important, I think we would see the manifestation of the Kingdom. You know, the Kingdom that's within us. The Kingdom that we're already in. The Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of love. The realm where God (the King...

I really can't think of anything else worth Ranting or preaching or talking about. What else matters? "The afterlife"? How about ETERNAL life. And if life is eternal then there really IS no "after" life. Because there's no end. There's just something different. Which is basically what 1 Corinthians...

Love is what it's all about. It's what we crave. What we want. What we NEED. Love is the desire of our heart. And it's only by delighting ourselves in the Lord--who IS love--that we "get" it. Or, more accurately, RECEIVE it. Because we already have it. We ARE loved. What else could the God who is...

It's all about love. What else could it possibly be about? Sin? Hell? Good and evil? Come on... it's about life! And that more abundant! And to live is to love. To love is to live. We get so caught up in anything and everything else that we miss out on the gift we've been given. We miss out on the...

I'm pretty sure this is the title of my next book, but I want to kind of explore this idea for the next couple of days. It's all about love. When you get down to the heart of the matter... the heart of the matter is the heart. As we think in our hearts, so are we. Love is our true identity. The...

Here's my thought for today, and really for this entire Rant series: God shows our completeness (HIS completeness) to us by showing us His love. To me, that's what it MEANS to be complete. To be lacking nothing. It means knowing and believing we are loved. That's why we feel incomplete, isn't it?...

I read somewhere that the two most important days of your life are the day you're born, and the day you find out why. I think we spend a lot of time trying to figure out why we're here. What this life is for. And as simply as I can put it: This life is for living. It's like we're always trying to...

We have to stop living from a false sense of lack. One of the best things I remember learning from my parent church is this: I have no lack, because my God has no lack. Jesus said it like this in the parable of the Prodigal Son, "“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I...

Here's the key. And when I say, "the key" I mean the key to EVERYTHING. I mean, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be...
