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.

The Real part 1

08/04/2015 14:58

More and more lately I've been shifting my focus away from frivilous things and onto important things. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what, but I feel like I just don't have as much time to waste as I used to. I don't want to do things just to do them. Just because society...

Daddy's Eyes part 5

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. So isn't it interesting that Noah found GRACE in the eyes of the Lord? When Noah looked God in the face (Jesus is the visible face of the invisible God) he saw what was inside. He saw grace. And mercy. And love. And when you see it... you be it. What's...

Do you know what grace does? Or rather, what grace DID? It doesn't sweep sin under the rug. It OBLITERATED sin. Look at Romans 5:20, "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Notice that this verse is PAST TENSE. Why? Because the...

Daddy's Eyes part 3

How Daddy sees you is how you need to see yourself. Because Daddy is the light that reveals your TRUE self. Look at Deuteronomy 32:9-10, "For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about,...

In order to see clearly, the light has to shine. Otherwise we are just stumbling around in the dark. Trying to "do the best we can with what we've got." Or rather, what we THINK we've got. Because when it's dark we can't SEE what we've got. We can't SEE who we are, or who God is. And really, one...

I say this a lot, "When God looks at us He sees Jesus, and when He looks at Jesus He sees us." And that's basically what I'm going to Rant about in this series. How things look through Daddy's eyes. So first things first, let's look at the Scripture that I'm basing this on: 1 John 4:17, "Herein is...

Charity part 5

07/29/2015 10:56

Here's my thought for today, "Let all your things be done with charity" (1 Corinthians 16:14). Now let's track this. Charity is love in action. And Paul wants us to let everything we do be done with charity. Let everything we do BE charity! Remember that love doesn't HAVE a motivation, love IS the...

Charity part 4

Charity. Love in action. The act of love. Not just talking about how much you love someone, but laying your life down for them. Not just saying, "I'll pray for you," (and I have absolutely NOTHING against praying for people) but seeing a need and meeting that need. Look at what John the Baptist...

Charity part 3

07/27/2015 15:38

It's all about love. We ARE loved, so we CAN love. It flows from the God who IS love, THROUGH us. That's how we partake of the Divine Nature. That's how we enjoy the gift of God--which is eternal life. We don't TRY to live Jesus' life (that's impossible. Nobody can live Jesus' life except Jesus),...

Charity part 2

07/26/2015 12:12

Charity is love in action. Which, to me, is really what love is all about. Because love is giving. God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the lofty idea of love, that we forget about the practical application of love. We forget about...
