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.

Settled part 4

Its a peaceful, easy feeling. And there's nothing in the world like it. When you have the issue of God's love settled... you can rest. And I'm not talking about sleeping--but there IS truth to that too... there's nothing like a good night's sleep when you know that you're safe and loved--I'm...

When you've settled the love issue--when you know (and believe) in your heart of hearts that God is love and He loves you--that's when everything else begins to flow. When you're standing on that foundation--that Rock--that's when you can start building. Look at Luke 6:48, "He is like a man which...

When you have the big issue settled, everything else flows from there. Look at Proverbs 4:23, just so we're clear on what we're talking about: "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Love is the issue of life. Love is the desire of our hearts. Love is why we were...

This is what I preached about tonight in my Guerrilla Gospel video, and its what has been on my heart for a while now, so I'm going to take my pastor's advice and preach it until my heart is empty on it: When you're settled... things can flow. When you're running around like a chicken with its head...

Hidden part 5

12/12/2018 19:44

I've been hinting about this, and kind of turned it on its head a little bit yesterday, but to end this Rant series I want to focus on what Jesus said in Luke 8:17, "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad." In other...

Hidden part 4

12/11/2018 19:44

I've mentioned a couple of times that what is hidden will always come to light. Its kind of the same idea as how what is inside--or what we believe is inside--WILL come out. It has to. Because whatever it is, good, bad, or ugly, its too big to keep inside. But look at 1 Corinthians 4:5, "Therefore...

Something being hidden doesn't make it of less value. In fact, that usually increases the value. Buried treasure.Every pirate's dream. Which is, by the way, exactly what we're talking about in this Rant series. Only without the parrot and peg leg. Look at Isaiah 45:3, "And I will give thee...

Hidden part 2

12/09/2018 19:53

I mentioned yesterday that our love is sometimes hidden underneath all of the stuff that the world--and we ourselves, if we're being honest about it--pile up on top. But look at Proverbs 25:2, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter." So let's...

Hidden part 1

This might take a little getting into. But that's why I spend a few days on a single subject. So let's start with one of my favorite verses (and yes, I know they're all my favorites), 1 Peter 3:4, "But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a...

Self part 5

12/07/2018 17:45

To end this Rant series I want to go back to where I started it. Jesus saying, "I can do nothing of my own self." To me that's so powerful. Because even Jesus Himself, God in the flesh, didn't try to do anything on His own. Let me say it another way, "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily,...
