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 Letter part 4

11/21/2019 16:58

God wrote a letter to the world. A letter of love. Unconditional, unstoppable, inseparable love. And He didn't just write it TO us, He wrote it IN us. THROUGH us. Because WE are that love letter. He wrote it, and we publish it. Look at 2 Corinthians 3:6, "His letter authorizes us to help carry out...

We are God's love letter to the world. "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart" (2 Corinthians 3:3). Written by God. Ministered by...

We are God's love letter to the world. That's what I'm trying to say in this Rant series. Our lives are a letter read by all men. Everybody is watching you. Judging you. Especially if they know you're a Christian. People hold Christians to a higher standard. "You're not supposed to do that." "Isn't...

So we've been talking about the Three T's, right? Time, Talent, Treasure. The way that we express love to each other. Giving what we have, and who we are, to each other. I want to continue on with that theme for the next few days. And I want to use 2 Corinthians 3:2 in the Message Bible as my key...

Time part 5

11/17/2019 20:06

There's not enough of me to go around. Too much to do and not enough time in which to do it. That's a hard thing to accept, especially in my case where I want to do as much as I can for as many people as I can. Which makes priorities even more important. How we choose to use the time we have is...

Time part 4

11/16/2019 19:06

The most important, valuable, priceless thing we have in life is our time. Because once it's gone... it's gone. So we should be careful about how we spend it. Or use it. We should make sure that what we do with our time is useful. And, listen, that doesn't mean you have to push yourself past the...

Time part 3

11/15/2019 19:33

Mother Teresa said, "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." I couldn't agree more. The most important people--the people you have the most influence over and connection with--in your life are the ones you live with on a daily basis. Those are the people you can really pour...

Time part 2

11/14/2019 19:58

I don't think I've ever heard this verse I'm about to quote used in this context. So stick with me. Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Now it seems to...

Time part 1

11/13/2019 20:10

Of the Three T's (Time, Talent, Treasure) I think this is the most important one. Because I think children--and really people in general--spell love "T-I-M-E." You can always make more money. And talent is something that eveybody has (it's just a matter of using it). But time, once it is spent,...

Talent part 5

11/12/2019 20:10

Time, Talent, Treasure. The Three T's. The way we express love. The way we express GOD'S love. To Him. By letting Him first love us and then loving Him back by loving each other. So when we're looking at "Whatsoever you do, do it unto the Lord," what that really means is... love people. Because we...
