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.

Satisfaction part 1

11/27/2014 13:11

You know the song, "I can't get no satisfaction." That's the cry of most of humanity's heart. We always seem to want what we can't have, or what we don't have. We spend all of our time, talent, and treasure trying to fill the hole inside of us. But let me just say it right off the bat: It's a...

Meaning of Life part 5

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" (1 Corinthians 6:19). You are not your own. You belong to God. The Son belongs to the Father. But, as we are all one body--the body of Christ--we also belong to each...

Meaning of Life part 4

This is where the rubber meets the road. If the meaning of life is love--and it is!--then life really isn't about you. Or rather, it isn't about what you can do for you. It's about others. It's about what you can do for others. True happiness comes from making others happy. It's not about outside...

Meaning of Life part 3

Expectations. They screw us up every time. Because life is messy. It doesn't go as planned. In fact, (I don't necessarily believe this but...) I've heard it said that if you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans. Now the Bible says, "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy...

Meaning of Life part 2

11/23/2014 11:58

The meaning of life is to live. And not only live, but live abundantly. Live Jesus' life by letting Him live His life in and through and as you. But sometimes in order to understand what something IS it's important to understand what it's NOT. The meaning of life is NOT to follow a list of does and...

Meaning of Life part 1

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). I think about life a lot. Always have. For a long time my favorite song--well, maybe not "favorite" but the song I was obsessed...

Least part 5

11/21/2014 12:23

I really think we get in our own way most of the time. I really think our "worst enemy" is right between our ears. (Which is, of course, why God gave us the mind of Christ.) I think we put too much pressure on things and always want to make things fit into boxes. We have an "us and them" mentality,...

Least part 4

11/20/2014 14:22

Sometimes the least you can do is the most that you need to do. Let me explain. We seem to have this idea where--espeically as "Christians"--we think we're supposed to change the world. And, make no mistake, we ARE. "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the...

Least part 3

11/19/2014 11:36

Writing a Rant about the least is really writing a Rant about abundance. But, as always, it's all about your perception. It's all about how you see things. And how you see things is directly effected by how you look at things. The Bible tells us that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Which...

Least part 2

11/18/2014 13:07

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40). This is one of my favorite truths out of all the parables that Jesus taught. Whatever we do to the least... we do...
