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.

Throne of Grace part 4

10/26/2020 17:22

We kind of touched on this in a previous part of this Rant series, but I really want to drilll down on the "coming boldly" part of coming boldly to the throne of grace to find grace in time of need. Because I think it's really important. And that's why I write these things every day--to help...

Throne of Grace part 3

Let's be real: What else but grace could the throne of the God who is love be built out of? Grace is so amazing. So important. Look at 2 Peter 3:17-18, "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own...

Here's the thing--the throne IS a judgment seat. But you have to understand what that really means. Four times in the book of John Jesus spoke of the judgment of the world. "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be...

Every once in a while you need to go cow tipping, right? Knock over those sacred cows, or those twisted ideas that somehow take root and take hold. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty...

The Anchor part 5

10/22/2020 20:01

God's promise--made from Him to Him, with us included in it--is the anchor to our soul. The hope isn't that something will happen. It is the assurance that something has happened. We don't need anything because we have already been given everything. For God so loved the world He gave His only...

The Anchor part 4

10/21/2020 20:10

So let's talk about what our key verse for this Rant series actually identifies as the anchor for our soul: "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil" (Hebrews 6:19). The hope we have in Jesus. But let's get even a little bit...

The Anchor part 3

10/20/2020 20:03

This is where it can get a little bit tricky. Because while an anchor keeps you from going off course, it can also keep you from certain things that aren't good for you. Keep you in your lane. Keep you in place. Look at Acts 16:6, "Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of...

The Anchor part 2

10/19/2020 19:59

Sometimes it feels like you're a ship tossed on the ocean. The winds are blowing, the rain is coming down, and you don't know what to do. But guys... that's just life. It's not always smooth sailing. You can't control everything in your life. But what you can control... is yourself. What you can...

The Anchor part 1

10/18/2020 20:26

Saw this on my pastor's Facebook today and told him I was going to use it. Hebrews 6:18-20, "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor...

Dead Man Walking part 5

10/17/2020 19:00

"And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:7-8). That was Jesus's mandate to His disciples. And right there in the middle He talked about death. As if it was...
