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.

Heaven part 4

08/27/2020 19:50

Let me drop my memory verse first so I can work on it for a little bit. Matthew 5:20, "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteouesness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." On the surface, like a lot of stuff Jesus...

Heaven part 3

What God wants for us--what He HAS for us--He has already given to us. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." And I know that's like THE Bible verse. But really think about that for a...

Heaven part 2

If heaven is available to us right now--the days of heaven on earth, the mind of Christ--then we don't need to wait for it, and we don't need to try to earn it. Look at Matthew 4:17, "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." The Kingdom of...

Wow. Kind of ambitious, huh? A five part Rant series to say what needs to be said about one of the biggest, deepest, widest topics in all of the world. Easy peasy, right? Come on. I'm just going to say a little bit about how I feel about "heaven" right now. Which, by the way, is the point. Because...

If you want to live... you have to love. Period. Because to live IS to love and to love IS to live. They aren't just connected, they are the same thing. Look at 1 Peter 4:8, "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." Above all...

Priorities part 4

I once had someone tell me, "You don't really take anything seriously except for your son and Jesus, do you?" (At the time I was a single parent and it was just me and the boy.) And I thought about it for a minute... and then agreed. Because what else matters? Family and love. Loving your family....

Priorities part 3

08/21/2020 19:43

When we focus on what is really important in life... we experience life. Because love is what is really important, and to live is to love. To love is to live. They aren't just connected, they are the same thing. When we tend to miss it is when things kind of start to spiral out of control. Look at...

Priorities part 2

08/20/2020 19:33

There's a term in our key verse for this Rant series that I want to spend today exploring. "Put on." As in, "And above all these things PUT ON charity, which is the bond of perfectness" (Colossians 3:14). But, on the surface, that almost looks like you're adding something external. So look at...

Priorities part 1

08/19/2020 19:34

What you feed is what will grow. What you magnify in your life is what will manifest in your life. In other words, priorites are important. What you give your three t's (Time, Talent, Treasure) to is what, in a very real way, defines your life. That, to me, is why so many people are so miserable....

Stand Fast part 5

08/18/2020 19:34

Standing fast in your liberty means holding onto it for dear life. Look at 1 Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." And this is how I look at that--we have already been...
