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.

Condemnation part 4

01/15/2019 19:46

You all know I don't like to start a Rant with a memory verse... so I ramble a little bit about how I don't like to start with a memory verse, and then start with it. This is that. "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that...

Condemnation part 3

Condemnation never helps. It only hurts. Remember the example we looked at yesterday with the woman caught--in the very act!--of adultery. Jesus didn't condemn her. He gave her mercy and grace. And that's what empowered her to go and "sin no more." And, yes, its true that we don't know the rest of...

Condemnation part 2

If there is no condemnation in Christ, why do we go around condemning everything and everybody? It makes no sense to me. And I mean, we want to condemn EVERYTHING. Its like we look for things to fight against. We make mountains of out mole hills, and then complain about how high our mountains are....

Condemnation part 1

01/12/2019 20:33

There are certain themes I like to revisit often, because I think they're important. Like receiving and releasing. I think that's important. Or how the light of the world--the light that Jesus is... the light that WE are--shines so that we can see things clearly. I think that's important. Or how...

Peace with God part 5

01/11/2019 20:15

God has always been at peace with us. He always has, and always will, love us. He created us in order TO love us. The God who is love created us so that He could express Himself--express His love--to us. The problem was... we weren't at peace with Him. We didn't know who we were, because we didn't...

Peace with God part 4

01/10/2019 20:08

I started this Rant series with Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Today I want to add the next verse, Romans 5:2, "By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."...

Peace with God part 3

01/09/2019 19:57

Here's what I think I'm trying to say in this Rant series: God has made us to be at peace with Him, and because of that we can be at peace with each other. We are AT peace, so we can MAKE peace. And I say God has made us to be at peace with Him because He has always been at peace with us. This idea...

Peace with God part 2

01/08/2019 20:10

Peace isn't something to chase. Because peace comes from within. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). Its HIS peace. Being at peace with God is being at peace...

Peace with God part 1

01/07/2019 19:48

This kind of goes along with what I was Ranting about last night. That double mindedness that so many people see to have. Thinking God's against them. "Why does God hate me?" Or, at best, that its the flip of a coin. He loves me, He loves me not. We think its behavior based. We think God deals with...

My Favorite part 5

01/06/2019 20:24

It saddens me to see that people still struggle with duality. With good and evil. Because, as James 1:8 says, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." Like we have "Christian times" and then the idea--and I saw this in a movie, so I'm pretty sure its a common idea--that sometimes "God's...
