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.

The tricky part is that when everything is available to you... when the Spirit and the bride ring the dinner bell and say, "Come and get it..." Well, its a lot like the rule we have for family get togethers at my mom's house. We say, "Its self serve, just like at Ma's!" The trick is, you can have...

Here's what I think it comes down to: "Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart'" (John 7:38 NLT). See, some people are content to float on the surface. And I really do think that's ok. Because we're not always...

There's so much available to us. Literally an entire kingdom. The Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of Love. And that, to me, is the whole deal of the thing. When God wrapped Himself in human flesh... when the Word of God--which is Jesus, which is love--came to earth... everything changed. Like my mom...

I'm not sure why this is the case, but it seems to me that over 2,000 years after the move of God (that most people still seem to be waiting for) happened on the cross... we have still barely scratched the surface on what that move of God was, and what that move of God means. I wrote a whole book...

My grandma likes to talk about Spiritual things with me. And I'm all about that. I say it all the time, I'm not going to try to convince anybody of anything. And I'm certainly not going to argue with anybody. But if you want to know what I think about the things of God... you know... love... then...

The Mind part 5

I know we interact with each other externally. But a LOT of our lives are internal. What we feel... what we think... so many of these things are unexpressed. At least not point for point verbally. It seems like we very rarely say exactly what we think or feel. But what's inside DOES come out....

I've been a little bit reluctant to go here, but hopefully I can get my point across without getting lost in some of the "religious" stuff. Romans 8:5-6 NLT, "Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things...

The tricky part is that you can't USE what you've got unless you KNOW what you've got. Its LETTING the mind of Christ (that's already in you) BE in you. And you can only do that when you stop trying to get something you think you haven't got, and you start knowing and believing that you've got...

The other day I was trying to decide whether or not to do something. And Amanda said, "You don't have to justify yourself. If you want to do it, go ahead." I replied by saying, "I'm actually just trying to convince myself to do it." And it turned out that I didn't need to do it at all, and it kind...

Here's where I think we get into trouble sometimes: We get our thought life all messed up. I can't stress enough how important what you think, and what you believe, is. What you do flows from what you believe. I'm telling you, behavior modification doesn't work. Because it doesn't get to the root...
