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.

True You part 5

The true you is the you that feels at peace. For me, a writer, its when I'm writing. For a musician, when they're playing music. For a teacher, when they're teaching. But in order to BE the true you, you have to get past all the surface stuff. All the stuff that the world tells you you're...

When the inner man comes out... when the hidden man of the heart is revealed TO you, and IN you, and THROUGH you, and AS you... that's when you BE transformed (into what you've already BEEN transformed into). By the renewing of your mind. By letting the mind of Christ--again, that's already in...

When you know who you are, you can BE who you are. Because when you know who you are you don't need to try to be someone you're not. And that's why the affirmation and acceptance of the Father is so important; the affirmation and acceptance of the Father equips and empowers you to be who you really...

You are not what people call you. But you ARE what you answer to. That's why its so important to know who you are. Who you REALLY are. Who you are in Christ. Which is who Christ is in you. Its basically what Jesus was saying in Matthew 6:24 (NLT), "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate...

True You part 1

There's a lot of stuff on the surface. A lot of stuff that life has piled up on us. And a lot of the time that's all we see. Because its on the surface. Right there in our face. Staring at us. Mocking us. Daring us to defy it. But there's also something deep down inside. Ephesians 3:16 refers to it...

Remain part 5

06/09/2017 17:16

All I want to say today is: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love" (1 John 4:18). And specifically all I want to say is, "There is no fear in love." Love is a safe place. And it seems horribly ironic to...

Remain part 4

I think one of the biggest--if not THE biggest--keys to life is showing up. Life is a participation sport. And a lot of the time it seems like we miss it. Because we're too busy trying to earn a gift... or because we're afraid to experience the gift we've been given. We think its too good to be...

Remain part 3

The Kingdom of God (the Kingdom of LOVE) is upside down and backwards to the natural mind. Things that seem too good to be true... are actually so good that they MUST be true. But a lot of the time it seems like we refuse to believe our eyes. We lose the simplicity that is the Gospel; God is love,...

Remain part 2

06/06/2017 17:13

We remain in God's love by loving people. That's the commandment--the NEW commandment for the New Man--that Jesus gave. And He didn't just give the command, He also gave us the ability to obey that command. Love one another... as Jesus loves us. We don't have to--and thank God, because we can't--do...

Remain part 1

06/05/2017 17:55

I think this is an important concept, because it seems like people think love is conditional... like there's a flower and we're picking the petals off. "God loves me... He loves me not..." And we think those flower petals are our actions. "I mess up... and He loves me not." And its like we're just...
