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.

Knit Together part 4

02/19/2020 20:02

I want to take a little bit of a different tact here. We've been talking about knitting ourselves together. And how that can really only happen when it is love binding us. How we are knit together with, and in, God (LOVE), and that is what equips and empowers us to be able to knit ourselves...

Stop me if you've heard this before--actually, don't. Because you have heard this before. Just roll with it. Because this is one of my favorite passages from the Bible, "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all...

It's about unity. It really is. About us working together. Because we're all in this together. That's what being knit together is all about. Because we aren't just knit together in any common cause. We are knit together in love. That's the key. To everything. Certainly to unity. To connection. To...

This Rant series kind of dovetails off of the last one, and really just continues on with the theme that has been heavy on my heart. I say this at work all the time, "We're all on the same team, right?" It doesn't have to be us vs them. When we stop focusing on what separates us and start focusing...

Comforted part 5

02/15/2020 20:08

I started this Rant wondering why people are against a good, happy, comforting gospel. The gospel is the good news, right? The good news about Jesus? The ultimate truth of the universe that God is love and He loves you. That's good... and happy... and comforting. What's wrong with that? Why would...

Comforted part 4

Weakness isn't weakness. If that makes any sense. Because weakness is an opportunity. Both for someone else to help you, and for you to LET someone else help you. Not being able to do something yourself is ok. You're not supposed to do everything yourself. At the very least you're supposed to rely...

Comforted part 3

When you need it the most... that's when you need it the most. I know that seems to be common sense. Pretty obvious. But for some reason we don't seem to really be able to make that manifest. Sometimes it seems like it's easier to kick people when they're down, rather than reaching down to help...

Comforted part 2

02/12/2020 20:12

I believe in a good, happy God. I'm sorry. I just do. God is love. And love isn't always easy, but it (HE) always believes for the best. Works for the best. All things work together for our good, right? So why do we have this "I was made to suffer on this earth but maybe, some day, pie in the sky,...

Comforted part 1

It always kind of blows my mind (and not in a good way) that people have a negative reaction to a positive gospel. Like there could be anything BUT a positive gospel. The word "gospel" means "good news." So let's get real. We have a happy God. And He wants His children to be happy. What father...

One Accord part 5

02/10/2020 19:46

Let's end this Rant series where we started it. Philippians 2:2, "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of on accord, of one mind." One mind. One accord. One love. The SAME love. The love of Christ. Filling ourselves (and each other) to overflowing with what we've...
