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.

Stick with me on this one. I always preach, "Receive it and release it. Receive it and release it." But I want to tweak that a little bit with this Rant series. Because, to me, there's almost an idea here where we are consciously DOING something. And that's the lie that the serpent told Eve way...

Don't let "stuff" (or people for that matter) live in your mind rent free. What you give your attention to is really what you empower. That's how you make mountains out of molehills--by focusing on them. Because what you magnify is what manifests in your life. What you feed is what will grow. And...

Your mind is like a goat, it'll eat anything. And that can be a problem, because what you magnify is what will manifest in your life. If you're mindful of all of the "stuff" going on around you--if you mind is full of it--then you'll miss out on the REAL stuff. Look at 2 Corinthians 4:18, "While we...

When you cast your cares on the Lord--which is only possible because you know He cares for you--what you're really doing is trusting Him to take care of things. Or, more accurately, trusting that He has already taken care of everything! God declares the end from the beginning. He finished the work...

You know the old saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff." Well... to God it's ALL small stuff. And I'm not saying that it doesn't matter to God. As a father myself I can tell you, if it matters to your kid it matters to you. I'm saying God-- LOVE-- is so big that there's nothing He can't handle. I'm...

Sometimes I think about growing my hair back out, just so I can say, "Long hair, don't care." I know I've mentioned that I have two lists in my life: A list of things that are important that includes God and people, and a list of things that aren't important that includes just about everything...

The Kingdom economy may be upside down and backwards. The first may be last, and the last first. You may have to lose your life to save it. It may not make sense to the carnal mind--and it's certainly not supposed to. But one thing that IS clear about the Kingdom economy is the currency used. The...

In the Kingdom, you start at the end. Which is actually very encouraging when you understand Jesus' words in Revelation 21:6, "...It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Starting at the end is...

This is one of my favorite pictures in the Bible: the former and latter rain. Or, in light of our upside down, backwards economy of the Kingdom, the LATTER and the FORMER rain. Let's look at it right side up first. "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath...

Here's why I think it's important to understand the upside down backwards economy of the Kingdom: "And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power" (Colossians 2:10). Our journey is not to BECOME complete, or perfect. We already ARE complete, and perfect. Our journey is...
