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.

Blind Faith part 4

01/21/2020 19:47

Don't roll your eyes, but this is one of my favorite Bible verses, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). And I like it because it not only tells us...

Blind Faith part 3

I'm going to kind of squint my eyes a little bit to make this work. Come on the journey with me. I could only find one Bible verse with the words "blind" and "faith" and it is in the Message Bible. Hebrews 11:27, "By an act of faith, he turned his heel on Egypt, indifferent to the king's blind...

Blind Faith part 2

Faith is not blind. Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of things not seen. Faith is not hoping God will do something. Faith is knowing He will because He has said He would... and because He has done it before. We have faith in God because He has proven Himself faithful....

Blind Faith part 1

This is one of those ironic titles to get you to think about the term. Because I don't believe there is any such thing as "blind" faith. I believe faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is knowing that your heavenly Father has your back because He's been...

Manifested part 5

01/16/2020 20:13

What you magnify in your life is what will manifest in your life. What you feed is what will grow. What you allow is what will continue. So, to me, what you ought to do is magnify God (LOVE) in your life. Feed the love in your life (remembering, of course, that love feeds on love). Allow love in...

Manifested part 4

01/15/2020 20:01

God manifested His love for us by giving us His only begotten Son. Jesus manifested His love for us by dying for us--and as us--on the cross. By giving His life for us and to us. Love is giving. That's how it was manifested to US, and that's how we manifest it to EACH OTHER. Jesus said there is no...

Manifested part 3

01/14/2020 20:04

Love manifests in your life when you give away the love that you have. When what's inside (what's REALLY inside... which is the love of God) comes out. That's the whole deal with receiving and releasing. God fills us up with His love and then we fill ourselves up to overflowing with what we've...

Manifested part 2

01/13/2020 15:42

The word "manifested" is used 10 times in the King James Version of the Bible. Half of those are in the book of 1 John. We looked at one of those yesterday (1 John 4:9). Today I want to look at 1 John 1:2, "(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that...

Manifested part 1

01/12/2020 21:07

I'm sure you've heard me say this, "What you magnify in your life is what will manifest in you life." That's what I want to Rant about for the next few days. Because I absolutely believe it. And here's the key: It has to BE in your life in order for you to magnify it. Magnifying something is...

Extravagance part 5

01/11/2020 19:35

God has (and will, and is, and does) lavished His extravagant love on us. He filled us up with it when He filled us up with Himself. When He filled us up with His Spirit. When He gave us a heart transplant--and underwater surgery in the waters of baptism, if I can say it that way--and put His heart...
