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.

The Secret part 1

11/07/2014 12:33

I know a secret. And because of this secret I don't have to accept things the way they seem to be. Truth is higher and fact. You can face the facts, or you can accept the truth. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says that we walk by faith and not by sight. This is the difference between the facts and the truth....

The Love Letter part 5

11/06/2014 13:15

God--who IS love--told us and showed us through He is by dwelling in a man named Jesus. Then that man gave us His Spirit and took up abode in all men. We are God's love letter to the world. Not a Law written in stone that we are required, but unable, to keep... but a life (of love) that keeps us....

The Love Letter part 4

11/05/2014 13:10

Jesus is the Word of God. Everything God had to say TO man, He said THROUGH a man. And that's why we (with Jesus living in us, with the Word being made flesh... in our flesh) are God's love letter to the world. And I really want to try to hit home today that my concept of "the world" doesn't mean...

The Love Letter part 3

11/04/2014 15:11

2 Corinthians 3:1-2, "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered to us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart."...

The Love Letter part 2

11/03/2014 13:22

Think about this for a second: Jesus is the Word of God. Everything God ever wanted to say to the world He said through His Son. That's what John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting...

The Love Letter part 1

11/02/2014 13:40

Before I really get this Rant series started I want to say: Everybody has a different part to play. There are some things I don't feel qualified to speak about, or write about. And there are some things I do feel qualified to preach. One of those things is love. I don't know why, but God has really...

Delight and Desire part 5

11/01/2014 13:26

Here's the key to "getting" the desire of our heart (which is to be loved)... realizing we already have it! Letting the Holy Spirit lead and guide us into all truth; all truth being, "The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into His hands." And all truth being, "You are His beloved Son...

Delight and Desire part 4

10/31/2014 11:50

What we desire is what we delight in. And I'm not talking about "stuff." Stuff is the substitute we use in order to try to fill the God-shaped, love-shaped void inside of us. The truth of the matter is, though, that there is NO void inside us. Look at Genesis 1:1-3, "In the beginning God created...

Delight and Desire part 3

10/30/2014 11:32

Yesterday we looked at desire. Today we're looking at delight. Because it seems like one of the biggest questions in the "Christian world" is... HOW do I delight in the Lord? HOW do I worship and praise Him? HOW do I love Him? And the short answer is: You love God by loving people. Jesus said, "And...

Delight and Desire part 2

10/29/2014 12:17

The Kingdom economy does not work on an, "If then" statement. It's NOT, "IF you delight yourself in the Lord, THEN He will give you the desires of your heart." The truth of the matter is... the Lord IS the desire of your heart, and it's only by delighting yourself in Him that you can experience...
