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.

Team Player part 4

11/16/2018 17:23

It can be tricky, being a team player. Because while love IS for everybody--freely we have been given love, freely we ought to give love--you really shouldn't put yourself, or keep yourself, in a bad situation. On a bad team, if I can say it that way. So it takes a bit of wisdom to decide whether...

Team Player part 3

I want to switch tactics a little bit today. Because in order to be a team player... you have to be willing to do for others. I know I've been talking about being a team player... and also knowing your worth and not settling. I think that's valid and important. But there's also this: "Let nothing...

Team Player part 2

11/14/2018 19:41

Love is giving. I hope if I've established anything through these Rants... its that. But you can't give what you don't have. You can only give what you do have. So when you give and give and give... when you love and love and love... sometimes it feels like you give all you've got, and you have...

Team Player part 1

11/13/2018 19:47

I said this today, "If she keeps pushing me I'm gonna light her up." And this was the response--given by someone who knows me very, very well-- "That doesn't sound like you. You're too nice for that." And its true. I like to think of myself as a team player. I like to think that I try hard, not...

One Mind part 5

11/12/2018 18:19

To end this Rant series I want to connect the two verses that I think speak most about the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16, "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." I think that's so important. So important. Because people always want...

One Mind part 4

11/11/2018 19:49

The thought is singular: I love you. But the method in which the thought is expressed is unlimited. There are so many ways to love people. Something as simple as a smile can brighten someone's whole day. And I've found that the little things ARE the big things. It doesn't always have to be some...

One Mind part 3

11/10/2018 19:40

One mind means one thought, right? And the thought is, "I love you." What else would the God who is love think towards us--we who He created in order to have something to love. But there are lots of different ways to express that thought. Charity is love in action, right? And, really, actions DO...

One Mind part 2

11/09/2018 16:16

The mind of Christ is the heart of God. Because the only thing on the mind of Christ--the only thing in the heart of God--is love. God is mindful of men. Of us. His mind is full of us. He's thinking about us all the time. Just like we think about the people we love. That's one of the best ways to...

One Mind part 1

11/08/2018 19:37

This one might take a little while. Which, as I always say, is why I started doing a series in five parts for these Rants. It lets me dig into things a little deeper. So, to set the foundation, we're going to talk about the mind of Christ. THE mind of Christ. Singular. Which is why the title says,...

Priorities part 5

11/07/2018 19:37

Faith. Hope. Love. Peace. Forgiviness. Grace. Mercy. Did I mention love? Those should be our priorities. But... well... watch this: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy,...
