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.

What Shall We Do Then? part 4

09/16/2020 19:49

We make things so complicated sometimes. And I think it comes from the simple fact that you can't give what you don't have, and you can only give what you do have. Or, more accurately, what you believe you don't have or do have. Remember, either way Christ's love controls us. Either we know and...

What Shall We Do Then? part 3

This is a pretty commonly known story, I think. Jesus was ministering to the multitudes, and then this happened: "And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get...

What Shall We Do Then? part 2

When asked, "What shall we do then?" John the Baptist answered with, "...He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise" (Luke 3:11). Which to me is pretty simple. Pretty basic. See a need and, if at all possible, meet it. Live out of your...

What Shall We Do Then? part 1

In the last Rant series we kind of looked at the age old question of, "Why do bad things happen to good people?". And we came to the discovery that life is life. It rains on the just and the unjust alike. We came to the conclusion that instead of asking "Why do bad things happen to good people?" we...

Bad Things, Good People part 5

The question is not "Why do bad things happen to good people?". The question is, "What do you do when things happen?". And my answer to that is always the same: Love. When you don't know what to do... do what you know. Stop focusing on the why and put your Three T's (Time, Talent, Treasure) into...

Bad Things, Good People part 4

09/11/2020 20:11

It's that snapshot mentality that I talk about so often. Thinking that where we are right now is where we will be forever. Thinking that what is happening right now is what will be happening forever. We get stuck in our current circumstances, is what I'm trying to say. Which can be pretty good, if...

Bad Things, Good People part 3

09/10/2020 19:46

We always want something (or someone) to blame. Have you ever noticed that? The days of personal responsibility seem to have gone by the wayside. "It's not my fault." That victim mentality. "I didn't do anything wrong." And my question to that is, "Ok... did you do anything right?" Because Jesus...

Bad Things, Good People part 2

09/09/2020 19:35

Why do bad things happen to good people? That's the age old question. That's what we're discussing. And here's the deal, as simply as I can put it: "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just...

Bad Things, Good People part 1

09/08/2020 19:46

Why do bad things happen to good people? This is the age old question, right? People thinking that God should keep things from happening--which, by the way, I believe He does a lot of the time. I think we have no idea what all goes on behind our backs or above our heads--or make things happen. Or...

Prisoner part 5

09/07/2020 19:48

Let's do our memory verse first. Not my favorite thing to do, but I really want to build off of it today. "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles" (Ephesians 3:1). Not a complete sentence, or even really a complete thought, but it has the idea that I want to close this...
