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.

Easy Does It part 4

If you push someone, one of two things will happen. 1. They will fall over. 2. They will push back. Neither one of those choices is probably what you were looking for. So my point for today is, "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but greivous words stir up anger" (Proverbs 15:1). To me its about...

Its ok to disagree. In fact, I won't argue with people. I simply agree to disagree. If you don't want to pick up what I'm laying down... that's ok with me. I have no interest in forcing my beliefs--about anything--on anybody. I'd rather take it easy. Because easy does it. And guess what else: just...

I know I claim almost all Bible verses as my favorites, but this is one of my favorites: "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9). Now for a lot of my childhood I was the middle child. Then my mom had the second set of kids and I became one of the...

I've never understood why people find it so important to make other people agree with them. I've always thought it was ok to agree to disagree. Like with all of my favorite things--they are MY favorite things. They don't have to be yours. You don't even have to like them. And we can still get...

Put On part 5

This is my favorite one, which is why I saved it for last: "And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." Because this verse tells us HOW to put on the new man that God has already put on us. Because, again, the Bible says we HAVE put on the...

Let's talk about the armor of God today. Ephesians 6:11 says, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." And you all know I don't preach or Rant about the devil very much. But to put it simply, he is the accuser, right? Coming at you with lies. Or...

Tonight I want to link three memory verses together under the umbrella of put on the New Man--which, as I hope we're starting to see, doesn't mean changing into the New Man. It simply means putting on what God has already put on us. Getting comfortable in our new (true) skin, with our new (true)...

"Are you putting me on?" You know, like when you're trying to fool someone. Trick them. I guess these days its called trolling people. Or at least that's what my seven year old son tells me. But that idea of being fake in order to get one over on someone is the exact opposite of what we're talking...

I'm not trying to put you on. I'm trying to get you to see that we have already been given everything we need, and all we have to do is put it on. Look at Colossians 3:9-10, "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is...

I started this Rant series with this verse in Genesis 2:24, and its where I want to end it too. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." And the word "wife" is number 802 in Strong's Hebrew Concordance. It means,...
