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.

Being Human part 4

03/30/2020 19:49

Being human is about being. Yesterday we looked at the beattitudes. The attitudes you be in. Today I want to focus on rest. Being still and knowing that HE is God. Knowing that we don't have to do everything. Which is good, because we can't. I can't do everything. I can do all things through God...

In Matthew chapter 5 Jesus gives what is commonly known as the Sermon on the Mount. In this sermon He talks about what we call the beattitudes. I'll just drop a couple of them for reference here. Matthew 5:4-6, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for...

What does it mean to be a human? Well, in a nutshell it means to be loved by God and to love other with that love. To receive and release that gift we've been given, and in that way enjoy it. Experience it. We always get so caught up on what we are doing. When, in truth, what we do flows from who...

As promised, I want to continue on my theme of what it means to be human. To BE human. Not to DO human. Because it almost feels like sometimes we are robots, or aliens, trying to pretend to act like humans. Like we're so interested in finding ways to fit in. To appear human. To conform. But, as we...

I want to end this Rant series with about half of a memory verse. Luke 4:1 says, "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness." What I want today is the phrase, "being full of the Holy Ghost." I think I want to keep this theme going...

We are human beings, not human doings. Which doesn't mean we don't do anything. Rest is not inactivity. It is Holy Spirit directed activity. And the only thing the Holy Spirit--the Spirit of truth that leads and guides us into all truth... the ultimate truth of the universe that says God is love...

Human Being part 3

Yesterday we looked at the first time the word "be" was used in the KJV. Which, if you believe in the law of first mention, also sets the tone for how it will be used going forward. And that was God saying, "Let there be light." Today we're going to look at the last time the word "be" was used in...

Human Being part 2

03/23/2020 20:27

You guys know I like the law of first mention. So here we go. The first time the word "be" is used in the KJV of the Bible is way back in Genesis 1:3, the third verse of the Bible. "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." I like the light. I have preached and Ranted about it a lot....

We are human beings, not human doings. That's what I want to focus on for the next few days. We think we need to rush around all day every day. We think if we're not doing something we're not being productive. And if we're not being productive... then we're wasting our lives. That's the common...

Peace Out part 5

03/21/2020 19:53

I want to end this Rant series with a simple, but clear and powerful, message. Jude 1:2, "Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied." I kind of think that says it all. It comes in threes, right? Faith, hope, and love. Mercy, peace, and love. (Notice the key there? Love is always included.)...
