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.

Family Business part 4

04/05/2019 19:42

I think the story of Jesus--even as a boy--being about His Father's business is the best picture of what I'm trying to say in this Rant series. Let's look at it in the Message Bible. "He said, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be here, dealing with the things of my...

Being about our Father's business. Which is love. Receiving and releasing the love of God that He has already given to us. That's how we experience this everlasting, eternal, abundant, Resurrection Life of love that is the gift of God. Let me say it another way, "And all things are of God, who hath...

Family Business part 2

Once upon a time, when Jesus was little, He got lost. Or rather, His natural parents didn't know where He was. There's a big difference there. But look at what happened when they found Him. "And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with...

Family Business part 1

I preach, and teach, and Rant a lot about how we are not supposed to try to follow in Jesus' foot steps, but rather to let Him make His own foot steps in our feet. That's kind of what this Rant series is about. Because when talking about being an heir, we're talking about inherting something. The...

The Heir part 5

04/01/2019 19:09

I don't want you to think that this Rant series has been about getting something. Because love is never about getting. Because love IS giving. But you can't give what you don't have. And you can only give what you do have. So we need to KNOW what we have in order to GIVE what we have. Look at...

The Heir part 4

03/31/2019 19:01

The point of being an heir is getting an inheritance. Right? And that has nothing to do with what you do, and everything to do with who you are. An inheritance is given (in this case) from Father to Son. God wanted the best for us, so He gave the best to. He gave Himself to us. He gave His Holy...

The Heir part 3

03/30/2019 19:46

This picks up on our key verse for this Rant series. How we are heirs, but until we gain that maturity we still act like servants, or slaves. Galatians 4:7, "Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." See, its almost like a self-fulfilling...

The Heir part 2

03/29/2019 19:46

I'm not sure I got to where I wanted to get to yesterday. But my main verse for this Rant series is Galatians 4:1, "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all." I think this is such an important concept. Because you can have...

The Heir part 1

03/28/2019 19:43

I hope this Rant series will clear something up for us. That's why I Rant--to try to help us understand things. To try to help us experience this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God. The GIFT of God. Which is what I'm kind of planning to talk about for the next few days. I want...

Live and Let Live part 5

03/27/2019 19:50

Here's where we get into trouble, "You let the world, which doesn't know the first things about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2 MSG). We try to conform to the world. We listen to what the world is screaming at...
