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.

Dead Man Walking part 4

10/16/2020 19:04

I want to quote a bit of the passage where our key verse for this Rant series is found. Romans 6:11-14, "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts...

The old has passed away. The new has come forth. We don't need to be held back or held down by our pasts. Or by anything else, if I'm being perfectly honest. It's my favorite verse, "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory...

I remember very clearly being at a camp meeting in West Virginia and the preacher saying, "If you've ever sinned raise your hand." And, of course, everybody did. Which was the point. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, right? Well, when I say "everybody did" I'm exaggerating....

I thought I was going to Rant about Jesus (love) as our safe hiding place, but then my Spirit got filled up with two verses that I feel are important to explore. The first one is Colossians 3:3, "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." Which does actually fit with the hiding...

Clouds part 5

10/12/2020 19:53

This is one aspect of the cloud that I didn't have a chance to really get into in this Rant series. When the people of Israel left Egypt, "...the LORD went before them by day in the pillar of acloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:...

Clouds part 4

10/11/2020 20:23

We all know I like the law of first mention, right? When the first use of something in the Bible sets the stage for how it that term or concept will be used going forward. The first time the word "cloud" is used in the KVJ is Genesis 9:13. This was after the flood, right? God talking to man. Let's...

Clouds part 3

When it's dark out you can't see clearly. I think we can all agree with that. And for a long long time, a world existed where everybody DIDN'T have a flashlight in their pocket at all times. The night was a very different time and place. But even during the day sometimes it can be dark out....

Clouds part 2

So there was a drought, right? No rain falling. A very dry season. Which has all sorts of Spiritual connotations. Then this happened, "And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain" (1 Kings 18:41). Skip ahead a few verses, "And he said to his...

Clouds part 1

10/08/2020 20:21

One of my favorite sayings is that every cloud has a silver lining. Because I believe you can always find the good in a situation if you look for it. What you seek is what you will find. What you magnify in your life is what will manifest in your life. Everything--EVERYTHING--can fall into either...

Vocation part 5

10/07/2020 19:58

I like to quote Romans 8:28 a lot. It's one of my favorite verses. Today let's start there and go a little further. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according ot his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to...
