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.

Doesn't it always seem like Spiritual things are backwards and upside down? It certainly does for me. What would make sense "in the natural" is never the way of the Kingdom. For example, Jesus said, "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen" (Matthew...

Walk by Faith part 5

To walk by faith is to take it one step at a time. To TRUST, and His plan for our lives, even when we don't understand it. Even when we can't see it. Because, remember, we walk by faith and NOT by sight. Things don't always LOOK good, but all things work together FOR good. The biggest key is just...

I think a big part of walking by faith is... well... walking. If God is always moving, always leading us and guiding us--as a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of smoke during the day--then it seems to me that He doesn't want us to stay still. In fact, that's why God directed Moses to build Him...

Knowing that there's a plan--a grand scheme--is what allows us to walk by faith. Because it doesn't always seem like there IS a plan. Epecially when setbacks occur. But a pastor friend of mine always says, "A setback is really a set up for a comeback!" And sometimes a "setback" isn't a setback at...

We walk by faith, not by sight. We trust the plan, even if we don't know every specific part of the plan. It's enough to know that there IS a plan. It's enough to know that Daddy loves us, and has our best interests at heart. He is mindful of us. His mind is full of us. He's always thinking about...

Walk by Faith part 1

I think this Rant series is really just a continuation of the last one. We know that the Holy Spirit is our guide. He leads and guides us into all truth. And we know that those we are led by the Spirit are the Son(s) of God. But for the next couple of days I'm going to try to make the journey...

The Guide part 5

08/28/2015 15:28

The Holy Spirit is our guide. Without Him, we can't understand Spiritual things. Without the Holy Spirit--our love receptor--we can't understand love. We can't understand what it means to BE loved, or what it means TO love. And that's why we are on a never-ending, everlasting, eternal, life-long...

The Guide part 4

08/27/2015 11:23

This might seem like a little bit of a departure from where we've been in this Rant series, but stick with me. I don't believe in "falling in love." I believe in the One who keeps us from falling. I believe in RISING in love! Which is exactly where the Spirit leads and guides us as He beckons us...

The Guide part 3

08/26/2015 11:48

How do we let the Holy Spirit guide us? Romans 8:14 tells us that, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." But how exactly do we let the Holy Spirit lead us? I really don't think the Holy Spirit tells us to, "Do this or else." I think there are times when we have a...

The Guide part 2

08/25/2015 11:44

The Holy Spirit is our guide. And because of that we can safely follow our hearts. We know that love never fails. But in order to UNDERSTAND that love never fails, we have to understand what love is trying to accomplish. Jesus said it in John 10:10, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill...
