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 Measure of the Stature part 4

05/29/2020 20:25

Jesus is God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. That is the meausre of His stature. Love. And when we measure Him... we are really measuring each other. The whole God in OUR flesh, love in OUR body aspect. Because... as He is, so are we in this world. His measure is...

When you take the measure of the man, you're kind of sizing him up, right? Seeing what he's all about? What he's made of? And I'm sure you've heard the old expression that Christians are like tea bags. If you want to see what they're made of you have to put them in hot water. Which is to say, it's...

Here's our key verse in this Rant series, Ephesians 4:13, in the Message Bible, "Until we're all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God's Son, fully mature adults, fully developed within and without, fully alive like Christ." Man, there's so much...

Knowing and believing is the way this "Christian" life works. And I put that word in paranthesis because I don't think I use it the same way most people use it. To me, "Christian" simply means Christ-like. Which you can't experience unless you know who Christ is. We can say, "As He is, so are we in...

Inter-personal part 5

05/25/2020 20:11

Longsuffering is a very important, vital part of any inter-personal relationship. Because nobody matches up with anybody in every way all the time. Even the people we love most in the world... can get on our nerves. People aren't robots. They are GOING to do things we don't agree with, or don't...

Inter-personal part 4

Dealing with people can be a lot sometimes. Because people can be a lot sometimes. The thing we need to really remember is that everybody is going through stuff. Everybody is fighting a battle that you might not know anything about. And even if you know about it, you might not know the whole story....

Inter-personal part 3

05/23/2020 19:58

How we relate to each other is so important. Because we're all in this together. We can't do it by ourselves. No man is an island. It is not good that man should be alone. We need each other. So we need to be able to build those relationships. Look at 1 Corinthians 3:11, "For other foundation can...

Inter-personal part 2

Relationship. The way we relate to each other. That, in large part, is what this life is all about. And here's the key: Our relationship with each other flows from our relationship with God. We have to have the one (with God) figured out before we can succeed in the other (with each other). And let...

Inter-personal part 1

05/21/2020 19:57

I think I talk about relationship a lot. Probably because I think it's important. Because we are all in this together. Because we need each other. We are all connected. And because of this connection, it is important that we spend our three T's (time, talent, treasure) on what really matters--each...

Endure part 5

Life doesn't always go the way you want it to. Or the way you think it should. That's just a fact of life. That's just the way it is. So you basically have two choices: You can either let life wreck you... or you can live life to the fullest. And what that comes down to... is your attitude. Life is...
