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.

Receive part 4

04/30/2018 20:03

I think what I was trying to say yesterday is that it's important to receive. Because in order for you to be receiving something, someone has to be giving something. And that's not always easy for people. Reaching out makes you vulnerable. It gives someone else the chance to slap your hand away....

I don't really like cupcakes. Even chocolate ones. Shocking, I know. But at work when a kid has a birthday, he or she almost always brings cupcakes. And they usually bring them around the whole school offering them to all of the staff. And I usually politely decline. Because I don't really like...

Receiving is so important, because it gets us out of the mindset of getting. So often we spend our Three T's (Time, Talent, Treasure) trying to get the things we think we haven't got. We waste our lives chasing the very things we've always had. And we do it, in my opinion, because we don't believe...

Receive part 1

I preach about receiving and releasing a lot. Because I think its important. The secret of life, perhaps. Because the thing that we are receiving and releasing is the gift of God. Which is eternal life. Which is knowing the one true God and the One whom He sent. Knowing the Father in the context of...

Power part 5

04/26/2018 20:13

What we have been given is what we have to give. We have NOT been given a spirit of fear. A spirit of doubt, and a lack of self-confidence. That's not what we have. That's not who we are. We HAVE been given a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. We HAVE been given the gift of God, which is...

Power part 4

04/25/2018 19:50

Power, love, a sound mind. That's what we've been given. And that is a spirit. THE Spirit. The Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Truth that leads and guides us into all truth. The truth that God is love and He loves you. And that's the point. Receiving and releasing His love. Its not a spirit of fear that...

Power part 3

It takes power to do something powerful. Makes sense, right? But watch this: The word "power" in 2 Timothy 1:7 is number 1411 in Strong's Greek Concordance and it means, "force; specifically miraculous power." And since we're talking about love I want to say this as clearly as I can: Love is a...

Power part 2

04/23/2018 19:58

Real power isn't about crushing people. Its about loving people. Yesterday we saw that the spirit of fear that God has NOT given us is all about being afraid to do something. Being afraid to love. Because opening yourself up like that CAN be scary. Especially if you do it with the idea of getting...

Sometimes when I finish a Rant series it leads right into the next one. Sometimes it doesn't. This is one of the latter times. Because I had 2 Timothy 1:7 stuck in my head (in my heart), so I figured it was the right time to go ahead and explore it for a few days. First things first, the verse...

Love Letter part 5

04/21/2018 20:34

There is nothing more important than what you believe. Because what you believe is what manifests in your life. What you believe is your reality. And that doesn't mean you can say, "I believe I'm a millionaire" and then check your back account and see all those zeroes. That's not belief. That's...
