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.

Ultimate Truth part 4

I kind of like the Law of First Mention. You know, how in the Bible where the first time a word or concept is used, it sets the tone for how it will be used thereafter. So, with that in mind, the first time the King James Version of the Bible uses the word "truth" is Genesis 24:27, "And he said,...

The truth is the truth. Always has been, always will be. The truth is immutable. Nothing can change it. And that truth is, "God is love and He loves you." God has always been love. And He has always loved you. He always has and He always will. Like Logan and I say every night before bed, "One more...

Ultimate Truth part 2

God is love and He loves you. That's it, man. That's what I've endeavoured to build my whole ministry on. My whole LIFE. Because to live is to love and to love is to live. They aren't just connected, they are the same thing. A life of love is the only life worth living. Living is the only way to...

Ultimate Truth part 1

I was perusing the Bible today, as I often do, thinking about what I was going to Rant about. Because sometimes when I finish a Rant series it rolls into the next one, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I need to be still and know that He is God. Let HIM say what He wants to say. And sometimes it...

Disciple part 5

03/12/2019 20:08

To end this Rant series I want to talk about Luke 6:40, "The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master." And, listen, I don't want to get stuck on the first part. But I will address it. Being a disciple is NOT about elevating yourself. Because its a...

Disciple part 4

03/11/2019 19:48

I think this goes along with what I've been Ranting about as far as not denying yourself, but embracing yourself. Being who you really are by finding out who you really are. Learning how to love by learning how God loves you. "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath,...

Disciple part 3

03/10/2019 20:00

Here's what we seem to think--especially in "religious" circles--we seem to think Matthew 16:24 is the secret recipe to being a disciple. "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." But if you notice, Jesus said...

Disciple part 2

03/09/2019 10:44

Being a disciple of Christ is being a student of love. Learning how to love as we learn how we are loved. And, really, as simply as I can put it is 1 John 4:18-19, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love....

Disciple part 1

03/08/2019 12:27

I touched on this yesterday, but I want to really dig into it for the next few days. What does it mean to be a disciple? Well, we kind of need to start with answering the question, "A disciple of what?" Or who? So let's make it plain. "A new commandment I give unto you, That yelove one another; as...

In Knowing part 5

03/07/2019 19:59

To know, and to be known. That's what this life is all about. To know that we are loved, and to be known of love. To be known BY our love. That's literally what Jesus says in John 13:35, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Because, let's be honest,...
