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.

In part 4

What got into you? That's such an important question. Because so many times in our lives we let things get into us. We go through things, yes. In this world there WILL be tribulation. But we don't have to let things go through us. Let me quote my passage of Scripture, "He said, "Come ahead."...

Let me drop my memory verse right at the top and then dive into it. "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you" (John 14:20). Its knowing who we are in. Who is in us. That's the key. Knowing and believing. The truth is the truth no matter what. Always has been....

Who we are "in," or what (WHO) we know and believe is in us, is so so so important. It defines us. Because what's inside comes out. It has to. Its too big not to. Whether it be good, bad, or ugly. We are not meant to hold things in. Think about it. When you bottle up your anger... it eventually...

I try to touch on this truth every once in a while to keep it fresh in our minds, because I think its really important. Who you are "in" defines who you are. Look at Romans 5:18 in the Message Bible, "Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us into all this trouble with...

We're all in this together. That's what I've been trying to say in this Rant series. We're not the same, and that's ok. That's on purpose. We're different. Because we're supposed to be different. But we fit together in a way that my strengths can cover your weaknesses and vice versa. 1 Corinthians...

Let me throw my memory verse down and then spend the rest of the Rant trying to explain it. Because it takes a little explaining. Ok? Good. "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be...

We're better together. Different pieces of the puzzle that make the whole picture. Look at Matthew 18:19 in the Message Bible, "When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action." To me that's powerful. To me that completely...

This is all I'm trying to say in this Rant series: "So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another" (Romans 12:5). We're all in this together. We're different--and that's a good thing. Because while there are some things I can't do, those might just be the very...

Together part 1

I say this all the time: We're all in this together. Unfortunately, we seem to want to draw lines in the sand at every and any opportunity. Me on one side, you on the other. We--especially religious folk--always seem to want something to fight against. Like we think we're not doing our part unless...

Refuge part 5

06/05/2019 20:07

Knowing (and believing) that God is our refuge--our hiding place, safe place--is important. But equally as important is knowing what that safe place empowers us to do. We hide behind love. Yes. But that means love goes before us. We aren't cowering. We aren't isolating ourselves. This isn't hide...
