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.

Liberty part 1

"Give me liberty or give me death!" These words, spoken by Patrick Henry in 1775, really encapsulate what this Rant series is going to be all about. Because what we don't seem to understand is that we WERE dead before the cross. God told Adam, "But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou...

It's not good that man should be alone. It's good that man should work together. When we work together we come into the unity of faith. The unity of ONE new man. And we are all members of that ONE new man's ONE body. Let me say it this way, to quote a movie I like, "Same team, Farva." The problem...

Things work out better when we work together. Especially when we understand that we are all in this together. We are all working--whether we realize it or not--for the same goal. I'm convinced that the cry of mankind's heart is the desire to be loved. To be accepted. Unfortunately, that gets us...

I've heard it said that boys look for reasons to be friends, and girls look for reasons to be enemies. I'm not sure if this is true--certainly it's not true 100% of the time--but it definitely seems like in the church world we want to make enemies with everybody. We seem to have thrown down a...

"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem" (Song of Solomon 5:15). Jesus, our beloved, is altogether lovely. But here's the revelation God gave me about this verse: He is altogether lovely... and He is lovely all...

I think one of the biggest truths that Jesus came to show us--He IS the truth, after all... what's true about Him is true about you--is one that we have a really hard time grasping. And that truth is that we are all in this together. Let me say it like this, "And we are members of his body"...

Identity. If you know who you are then you don't have to try to be somebody else. And if you know who you are you don't have to prove it to anybody else. That's the problem I think we sink into sometimes--we try to prove how good we are by proving how bad someone else is. Jesus said it like this,...

Righteous Reign part 4

What it all comes down to is identity. If you don't know who you are--or what you're capable of--then you'll spend your whole life trying to be someone your not. Trying to get something you think you con't have. But if you DO know who you are--God's beloved Son in whom He is well pleased--then you...

We are capable of so much more than we think. There's a sign in my mom's living room that says, "If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves." And I absolutely agree. The problem, it seems, is that we keep waiting for God to do something for us. When, in...

Reigning in righteousness and ruling in judgment. That's what we have been equipped to do as kings and priests on this earth. That's the kind of authority and dominion our Daddy has given us. That's what it means to be IN the Kingdom of heaven and to BE the Kingdom of heaven. Because, guys, the...
