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.

One Accord part 4

It's about unity. A threefold cord is not easily broken. You and me and Jesus makes three. Wherever two or three are gathered, He is in the midst. Love is in the midst. Because where two are gathered there is the opportunity for relationship. Connection. Unity. We don't have to agree on everything...

Here it is, as simply as I can put it: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isaiah 26:3). When I line up with God (Jesus, love), and you line up with God (Jesus, love), we will automatically line up with each other. And the only way to...

Our God is a happy God. I believe that this is because He is love. And love is not sad. Jesus said that we WILL have tribulations in this world, but that we CAN be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. All throughout the Old Testament of the Bible the cry of God's heart was that He...

One Accord part 1

I like this because I like a good turn of phrase. Let's link Philippians 2:2, "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind," with Ecclesiastes 4:12, "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly...

Remitted part 5

02/05/2020 19:55

Remitting and retaining is kind of like binding and loosing. Let me explain: "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). But...

Remitted part 4

02/04/2020 20:00

Our key verse for this Rant series, John 20:23, "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained," is the only verse in the King James Version of the Bible that has the words "remit" or "remitted" in it. The only time Jesus mentioned it....

Remitted part 3

02/03/2020 19:55

If you remit someone's sins, they are remitted. That's the good news. Jesus has set us free and made us free. Now we can let people know they are free by treating them like they're free. On the flip side of that coin, if you retain someone's sins... they are retained. If you can't let it go,...

Remitted part 2

02/02/2020 19:55

Forgiveness is a done deal. Jesus took away the sin of the world. Cried out from the cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Put us in a place where we don't have to fear God. We can run TO Him instead of running FROM Him. The problem that we seem to find ourselves in is that...

Remitted part 1

02/01/2020 19:52

This one takes some getting into, but we've got a few days for each Rant series so that works out. I want to start with the end and then work backwards. 1 John 2:12, "I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake." Realistically, that's all I need to say....

The Mystery part 5

01/31/2020 20:05

Let's do a little Message Bible to end this Rant series, "God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest--what God determined as the way to bring out his best...
