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.

Day Star part 4

Why is the light so important? So that we can see where we're going. So that we can stop stumbling around in the dark. So that we can see clearly. Look at Luke 1:77-79, "To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the...

Day Star part 3

The day star is literally the star that shines during the day. The sun. The SON. Jesus. Arising in our hearts to shine forth in us, and as us, and through us. So that WE can shine. Let me link two Bible verses together. "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that...

Day Star part 2

Jesus is the day star. The bright morning star. The sunshine (SONshine). And that's important to understand because Jesus is God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. So when the day star arises in our hearts, when we see things clearly, we see that its all about love....

I'm kind of obssed with love. Y'all knew that, right? I'm convinced that love is the be-all, end-all. The Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end... and everything in between. And God is love, right? You can't talk about one without talking about the other. But there are a few other...

Relationship part 5

11/22/2018 16:24

I think what I've been trying to say is that life is better when we understand, and cultivate, and take care of, the people in our lives. When we are in relationship with each other. Direct relationship. Loving relationship. Look at Titus 3:7 in the Message Bible, "God's gift has restored our...

Relationship part 4

11/21/2018 16:08

What if we were honestly, truly, more interested in giving than getting? Think about how much better that would make our relationships. Because that would pretty much do away with expectations. And I believe expectations are the best way in the world to set yourself up for disappointment....

Relationship part 3

11/20/2018 19:44

True relationship--direct relationship--is about trust. If you can't trust someone, you can't do anything with them. That's why, as we say yesterday, it is faith in Christ that puts us in right relationship with God. Trusting in love is what allows us to live a life of love. Knowing and believing...

Relationship part 2

11/19/2018 19:49

I'm gonna put this as simply as I can: "By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God" (Galatians 3:26 MSG). And that relationship is a Father/Son relationship. Jesus is our true identity. God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. That's who we really are....

Relationship part 1

11/18/2018 12:07

Fun fact: The word "relationship" is not found in the King James Version of the Bible. But it is in the Message Bible quite a bit. I want to start with 2 Corinthians 5:18, "All this comes from God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with...

Team Player part 5

Its finding the balance between giving it everything you've got, and knowing when to say when. That's what's important. Because if you stay too long in a bad situation you might never forgive yourself. And, listen, I'm a loyal guy. I always say, "I've got your back." And I always mean it. So if you...
