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.

Knowledge is Power part 5

Knowing is half the battle. Believing is the other half. Because you can't believe something you don't know, and because faith without works is dead. What you do absolutely one hundred percent flows from what you believe. If you say you believe something, but don't act on that belief, then you...

What it really kind of comes down to is this: If you know what you've got, you can USE what you've got. If you don't, you can't. And when we're talking about Spiritual things then we're talking about the gift of God. And if we're talking about the gift of God then we're talking about eternal life....

Knowledge is Power part 3

Today I want to talk about the concept of putting off the old man, and putting on the new. But, specifically, I want to talk about the truth that we HAVE put off the old man and we HAVE put on the new. Because, see, the finished work of the cross is... well... finished. It's a done deal. And when...

Here's a saying that I like a lot: "Don't worry about mistakes. Learn from them. When you know better, you can do better." And when we apply this to the finished work of the cross it takes on even a deeper, more powerful meaning. Because when we know better WHO WE ARE, we can more naturally BE who...

I think G.I. Joe had it right: Knowing is half the battle. And I think the other half is believing. When you know and believe something (specifically, the love of Christ), that's when it becomes REAL to you. And I think that's the proper order too. Because you can't believe something you don't...

Instead of living from the outside in--trying to conform to the world (even though you'll never "fit in" that way anyway) by following a set of external rules--we need to understand that we DO live from the inside out. What is inside is what will come out. Or rather, what we believe is inside is...

I'm telling you, I love this "inner man" truth. Because even though there IS a lot of surface stuff, there's something deep inside called love. And that is our true identity. 1 Peter 3:3-4 puts it like this, "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of...

The part of Ephesians 3:16 that I want to focus on today is the part that goes like this, "...strengthened with might through his Spirit..." And my main thought is this: When we know who we are--who we REALLY ARE, who we are in Christ, which is who Christ is in us--that's when we are the strongest....

Inner part 2

One of my favorite truths is found in Ephesians 3:16, "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man." There's a lot here, but specifically I like that term: Inner man. Because I one hundred percent believe there is...

I can't stress how important it is that we begin to focus on what's inside. Because, as I said in a Guerrilla Gospel video not too long ago, we DO live from the inside out, whether we realize it or not. What's inside comes out. Period. Because you can't give what you don't have. And you can only...
