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.

Obedience part 4

02/04/2019 20:03

Its a trust issue. Its getting to the point where we don't think, "I have to do this even though I don't want to... because I'm 'supposed to' obey." Look at 2 Corinthians 10:5, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exaleth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into...

Obedience part 3

Unless you trust the One giving the commandment--the New Commandment for the New Man, which is to love one another as Jesus loves us--you'll always feel like you have to obey against your will. And I'm telling you, its hard to go against the grain. Its hard to go against your nature. But when you...

Obedience part 2

We think obedience is doing something we don't want to do because its "good for us." But that's the wrong mindset to have. Because I've found that the two hardest things to do are 1. Doing something you don't want to do or 2. Not doing something you do want to do. Going against your nature, if I...

Obedience part 1

I think obedience is all about trust. If you don't trust the person telling you to do something... chances are you're not going to want to do it. You'll be a lot less likely to do it, at the very least. But let me string two memory verses together. And I just did a Guerrilla Gospel message on this...

Habitation part 5

01/31/2019 19:58

God has builded us together as a habitation for Him to live in. When Jesus was lifted up on the cross He drew all men into Himself, and planted Himself in all men. That's where we are. That's WHO we are. We are the house of the Lord. We don't just GO to church... we ARE the church. We don't need...

Habitation part 4

01/30/2019 20:08

Let me drop my memory verse and then try to build off of it. "For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's" (Romans 14:8). In other way, no matter what, it's all about love. Because God is love. We live...

Habitation part 3

01/29/2019 19:45

Some people come home and just crash. I get that. Its our safe place. Its where we feel comfortable. Where we can let our guard down. But its also where we can be productive. Because there are--or CAN BE, anyway--less distractions. We don't have to deal with the outside world so much when we're at...

Habitation part 2

01/28/2019 19:57

The first time the word Habitation is used in the King James Bible is Exodus 15:2, "The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him." It is number 5115 in Strong's Hebrew Concordance and it...

Habitation part 1

01/27/2019 19:56

I try to only Rant about things that I think are important, right? Things that will help us experience this life we've been given. Things that help when the rubber meets the road. Practicaly things. Which, of course, is why I always try to Rant about love. Why I always try to look at things through...

Starve It part 5

01/26/2019 18:56

I know this isn't what Jesus was necessarily saying with His proverb about the seed being sown, but look at Matthew 13:5-6, "Some fell upon stony placed, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched;...
