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.

Least part 1

I think human beings are very adaptable. We can get used to just about anything. And while this can be a good thing, it can also lead to some problems. Because oftentimes it means we are willing to settle. Rather than pressing forward, sometimes we look around and sigh and say, "I guess this is as...

What you sow is what you reap. What you do is what you get. (And, listen, I believe when the Bible talks about reaping and sowing it's talking about Jesus who sowed Himself on the cross and reaped a glorious harvest, but there's also an individual aspect of it.) Here's what I'm trying to say: If...

Actions are important. I don't want anybody to think that I don't agree with that statement. When I say, "It's not what you DO, it's what you BELIEVE," I'm simply trying to get our focus off of the external and onto the internal. Because what you do FLOWS from what you believe. Behavior...

A More Excellent Way part 3

The carnal mind thinks getting is the way to go. But there's a more excellent way. And His name is Jesus. His name is love. His name is giving. Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive. And I absolutely believe that because I've experienced it. But here's my focus for today: While it...

"I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). There's a way that seems right to a man. And that way is getting getting getting, earning everything...

A More Excellent Way part 1

Proverbs 14:12 tells us that, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." And then the Apostle Paul tells us to "...covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way" (1 Corinthians 12:31). So there's a way that SEEMS right...

The Secret part 5

11/11/2014 12:06

This is so amazing to me. Our key verse for this Rant series is Psalm 25:14, "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant." The word, "secret," is number 5475 in Strong's Hebrew Concordance and it means, "a session, that is, company of persons (in close...

"Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the...

The Secret part 3

Let's link two verses together: Psalm 25:14, "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant," and Psalm 91:1, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." I think these verses are really sayiing the...

The Secret part 2

11/08/2014 13:24

The Holy Spirit whispers, in a still small voice, from inside of us. It is the cry of our heart. The cry of Father God's heart beating with love in our chests. And He whispers the secret of life: Daddy loves you. He takes you by the hand and leads and guides you into all truth. Because He IS...
