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.

Refuge part 4

06/04/2019 19:43

I want to take a little bit of a different point of view tonight. Instead of talking about hiding behind love--which I still think is the safest place we can be--I want to take a little time to talk about HOW we hide behind love. HOW do we let love go in front of us? How do we stay in our refuge,...

Refuge part 3

06/03/2019 19:38

There are so many good verses in the Bible about hiding. About God hiding us. Protecting us. Keeping us safe. Here's the one I chose for tonight: "Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings" (Psalm 17:8). And I chose this one because it links up with Luke 13:34, "O...

Refuge part 2

06/02/2019 19:40

Our life is hid with God in Christ. That is our hiding place. HE is our hiding place. Look at Psalm 32:7, "Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah." So let's track this. God is our hiding place. LOVE is our hiding...

Refuge part 1

06/01/2019 20:08

This Rant series kind of picks up a little bit where the previous one left off. Talking about our life being hid in God with Christ. Deuteronomy chapter 35 speaks at length about cities of refuge. Places where a person could go to be safe after comitting a crime. Because our tendency, when we mess...

You're Dead part 5

05/31/2019 19:14

We are dead... BUT... our life is hid in God with Christ. So while we are dead to everything that came before (the cross, or our knowledge and acceptance of the finished work of the cross) we can live. But the key is finding what has been hidden. Look at Proverbs 25:2, "It is the glory of God to...

You're Dead part 4

05/30/2019 19:50

If you're dead, you don't have to keep dragging around the corpse. You can let it all go. You can be free. You can move out of death and into life. And I know I quote these two verses a lot, but I'm going to do it again. Because one of the things my dad taught me is that repetition is a powerful...

You're Dead part 3

05/29/2019 19:45

You are dead, and your life is hid with God in Christ. New Life. A life of love. Being loved and loving with that same love. Receiving it and releasing it. That's a big thrust of my ministry; trying to help us understand the Divine Order of things. But tonight I want to focus on Revelation 2:11,...

You're Dead part 2

05/28/2019 19:42

A dead man can't be punished for a crime. Once you die... that's it. Game over. Nothing that had a hold on you can continue to have a hold on you. You're free. And, as we saw in our key verse for this Rant series (Colossians 3:3), "For ye are dead, and you life is hid which Christ in God." You're...

You're Dead part 1

05/27/2019 19:50

This is kind of a tricky subject, but sometimes I like to tackle tricky subjects. Rant about them for a few days. Really dig in and try to give (and get) some insights. So let's go. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God....

The Measure part 5

05/26/2019 20:10

I want to quote my memory verse up top so that we can really dig into it. Luke 6:38, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you...
