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.

Wifey part 4

I ended yesterday's Rant with this verse, "Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun" (Ecclesiastes...

I think my main focus of this Rant series is that a wife is a blessing, and it is important to treat her as such. 1 Corinthians chapter 7 has a lot to say about marriage. Today I want to focus on 1 Corinthians 7:3, "Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife...

I'm gonna get into this aspect of the husband/wife dynamic and (hopefully) get it out the way. 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." The man, or the husband, as head of the household. King of the castle. But let's be real. To...

I want to talk about the wife for a few days. And this is easy for me, because I have an awesome one. But I want to focus on how important that husband and wife relationship is both in the natural and in the Spiritual. Because WE are the bride of Christ. That's important to understand. But also,...

Have you ever heard the concept that you have to help someone else build their thing before God will give you your thing? Well, I'm not sure this is one hundred percent true. Especially when--unless you're specifically talking about building a church--it can be hard to find someone who is building...

Steward part 4

04/10/2019 19:56

Here's where it can get a little bit tricky: We've been talking about taking care of what we've been given, right? As always, there's another aspect of this. Because our relationship with God is manifested in our relationship with each other. Taking care of the love that God has given us means...

Steward part 3

04/09/2019 17:25

"Take care of this for me." That's one of the biggest things you can ask of a person. And it doesn't matter what you're asking them to take care of. It could be a plant... a pet... or the most powerful force in the universe--love. It doesn't matter. Because asking someone to take of something for...

Steward part 2

A steward takes care of what he's been given charge over, right? A good and faithful servant multiplying his master's investment. Well, when we're talking about the family business, we're talking about love. When we're talking about what we've been given charge over, we're talking about love. Its...

Steward part 1

04/07/2019 20:10

I'm really trying to hammer home the point that we don't do anything--anything!--on our own. Even way back in Genesis 2:18, "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." We're social creatures by nature. (Even an antisocial hermit like...

Family Business part 5

04/06/2019 19:21

The thing to remember--and we might get into this even more in the next Rant series... maybe--about being involved in the Father's business--the family business--is that we stewards. He created it. He gave it to us. And all we have to do is take care of it. All we have to do is receive it and...
