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.

Fear Not part 4

12/05/2020 19:49

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That's where start. But it's not "I'm afraid of God because I messed up and He's going to punish me." God is not in the punishment business. He's in the chastening and correcting business. The purifying business. He's in the train a child up in the...

Fear Not part 3

When you afraid, you are not made perfect in love. Which is to say you don't fully understand love. I think a lot of the fear, and the misunderstanding, comes from being afraid to put ourselves out there. When you reach out your hand and someone slaps it away... that's excellent incentive to never...

Fear Not part 2

Think about this from God's point of view: He loves you so much that He gave His only Son for you. To bring you back into the fold. To get rid of any seperation that exists in YOUR mind that keeps you from experiencing everything He has and everything He is. And how do you treat Him? Like He's a...

Fear Not part 1

12/02/2020 17:17

There's a pretty big discrepency between the Old Testament of the Bible and the New Testament of the Bible. For example, there are three verses in the Old Testament with the phrase "The fear of the LORD of the beginning of wisdom." Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, and Proverbs 9:10. Any time the Bible...

Sin part 5

12/01/2020 16:58

I think it's funny (in an ironic, not in a haha, sort of way) that people seem to think there is a big struggle between God and sin. Or God and the devil. Or, really, God and anything. Like the Creator of the universe would (or could) ever struggle against anything. Kind of absurd. And Jesus showed...

Sin part 4

11/30/2020 19:59

I'm just going to throw this out there and then move on. If all of our sins are forgiven... how, then, could someone end up in what many people believe is the eternal punishment for sin known as hell? Just something to think about. Moving on. To 1 John 3:9, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit...

Sin part 3

11/29/2020 19:54

Let'strack this thing. In the Old Testament there was a Law. The Law of Moses. The Ten Commandments. And a complete system of animal sacrifice for when the Law was broken. Look at Hebrews 10:1-2, "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the thing, can never...

Sin part 2

11/28/2020 19:40

Jesus took away the sin of the world. He fulfilled the law. So why in the world are we so obsessed with those two things? Why are we still putting ourselves under a law that was never given to us (and falling from grace in so doing) and why are we always on a sin hunt? Look at Romans 4:15, "Because...

Sin part 1

11/27/2020 19:35

Let's talk about sin. This is something I don't really do very often. Because it causes quite a controversy. Same thing if you try to talk about hell. Religious folk get all up in arms about it. Which is odd to me when John 1:29 says, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,...

Trees of Righteousness part 5

11/26/2020 18:01

The secret of life, in my humble opinion, is receiving and releasing the gift of God. Breathing His Spirit (of love) in and out with every breath we take and every move we make. Understanding who WE are by understanding who HE is. Because as He is, so are we in this world. Jesus is our true...
