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.

Secure part 1

We have a saying in the "church world" (or at least in my little circle of it). And it goes like this: It came to pass, not to stay. We say that because over and over in the Old Testament the Bible uses that phrase, "it came to pass." And the thought is that while we may have to go through things,...

Doesn't it seem like (at least if you follow my ministry for any amount of time) it always comes back to the central truth that what is true about "us and God" is also true about "us and each other"? There's no separation between us and God. Nothing--and no one (except ourselves to some limited...

Separation part 4

Let me try to work this patch today: If there is NOTHING and no one (except ourselves, in a sense) that can separate us from the love of God... then what's the deal with the sheep and the goats? Because in Matthew 25:31-34 we see this, "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy...

Separation part 3

Yesterday we looked at the question, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?..." (Romans 8:35). And we answered a similar question, because nothing can separate you from that love. But we kind of missed the original question. WHO shall separate us? And the answer, in a sense, is "only you."...

Separation part 2

Here's the question: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?..." (Romans 8:35). And here's OUR answer: Anything and everything. The smallest little thing. A bad thought. A mistake. Not doing enough. Not being good enough. Missing church. Not reading our Bible. Here's the REAL answer: "...I...

Separation part 1

I really don't like this idea that we seem to have that sin separates us from God. And you all know that my definition of sin is "unbelief." So I guess in THAT sense sin, or unbelief, is the only thing that COULD separate you (IN YOUR OWN MIND) from God. Colossians 1:21 says it like this, "And you,...

Apples and Trees part 5

06/29/2015 13:14

Apples and trees. Fathers and Son(s). DNA (the Divine Nature of the Almighty) passed down the family line as we partake of that divine nature. Creator and creation... or rather, Creator and creator, as we create our own reality by believing the Word (Jesus, love) of God. There's a unity that many...

I have to give my mom credit for this one. And isn't it funny the way the Spirit works? Something on my heart is on her heart too and it helps us both to understand what the Spirit is speaking. Ok. So we're talking about the apple not falling far from the tree. Talking about how we were made in...

Apples and Trees part 3

Sometimes, in order to know where you're going, it's important to know where you've been. A big part of this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life is enjoying the journey. But, as the song says, "How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?" If you feel like you're stuck, like you're...

Apples and Trees part 2

06/26/2015 13:18

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Because the same DNA is passed on from Father to Son. Genesis 1:26 says it like this, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,...
