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.

Steadfast part 4

The only thing that never changes is that everything changes. Except for one thing. God's love never changes. Now, when I say that I mean it never changes from yes to no. It is always there. Never ending. Unconditional. But it CAN change what it looks like. It has to. Because people express love in...

Logan asked me what I was going to Rant about. I told him, "Being steadfast." He said, "What's that?" I said, "Standing strong no matter what." He said, "Oh, cool. I like that. I like that." And I hope he likes it because he's seen it. I hope he likes it because he's experienced it. A consistent...

I think this memory verse says what I'm trying to say: "There it was--the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person" (John 1:9 AMP). The genuine, perfect, steadfast light that illuminates every person. That's God. That's love. A...

There are two ways I want to go with this Rant series. Which is pretty much the Divine Order of things, as I understand it. First there is the God aspect, and then the human aspect. One way of saying this is: God made the way of grace and we respond with the walk of faith. His finished work, and...

God wrapped us up in Himself. Clothed us with Lamb skin. And He also wrapped HImself up in us. In order to show us how to live. In order to show us what it means to be clothed with His life. His love. Look at Colossians 2:9-10, "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are...

Clothed part 4

We have been clothed in the Lamb skin of God. The life of God. The very love of God. And because of that we will never be exposed. We will always be covered. We have what everybody needs. So we don't need to worry about getting anything. We can simply give what we've got. Share it. Spread it...

There's this idea that we need to change. To stop being who we are and be someone else. To somehow make ourselves better than we are. But the truth of the matter is that anything that needed to happen... happened. 2,000 years ago on an old rugged cross. That's why Colossians 3:9-10 are in the past...

I try not to do this very often, but I have a decent sized passage of Scripture I want to use for tonight. Bear with me. 2 Corinthians 5:1-5, "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens....

Not too long ago I Ranted about nakedness. About how being naked it being vulnerable. Uncovered. Open and honest. Starting today I want to Rant about what it means to be clothed. So let's start with the beginning. After man realized and became ashamed of his nakedness--MAN was ashamed, not...

Do Unto part 5

We all want to be loved. That's the basic human desire. The desire of our hearts. So treating others how we want to be treated is just loving people. That's as simple as I can make it. It's not about, "I like cookies so I'm going to give people cookies." Because not everybody likes cookies. And...
