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.

Preparation part 1

12/27/2014 11:24

I've heard it said, "If you fail to plan then you plan to fail." And never is this more accurate than in the Kingdom. See, we have so many immaculate gifts available to us. But if we don't know what we've got, then we can't do anything with it. If we don't know that the work IS finished, then we'll...

Meat Head part 5

If you're a meat head you think you can do it yourself. You think you please God with your behavior, with what you do for Him. But according to Hebrews 11:5, "...without faith it is impossible to please him..." Because faith is knowing and believing that the work is finished. Faith is trusting in...

Meat Head part 4

If the carnal mind isn't subject to the things of God (and CAN'T be subject to them), then why are we spending so much time trying to modify people's behavior? If it comes from the outside-in, from an external list of laws, then it will never produce real, true, lasting change. Because it's not...

Meat Head part 3

Wanna know why forcing Jesus down people's throat doesn't work? They'll choke on Him. "Because the carnal mind is enmnity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be" (Romans 8:7). You can't force Spiritual stuff on a meat head. You can't MAKE somebody believe...

Meat Head part 2

12/23/2014 12:02

Yesterday I said a meat head was a dummy. And here's why: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God..." (Psalm 14:1). Or, if you take out the italicized words, "The fool hath said in heart, no God." See, a meat head, a Biblical fool, tries to do it on his own. In his own power. He works out...

Meat Head part 1

12/22/2014 12:23

I heard a pastor friend of mine use this phrase years ago and I absolutely loved it. A meat head is, in the natural, someone who is kind of dumb. A meat head, spiritually speaking, is someone who is using the carnal mind. And that's the trouble we find ourselves in so many times. There is something...

Creation part 5

12/21/2014 12:01

The power that lies within us--the death and life that is in the power of the tongue, the ability to define or create our reality--is nothing compared to the power of confessing (or agreeing) with the true reality, the true creation, of God. Because when we confess the truth, then the truth...

Creation part 4

12/20/2014 13:20

Here's what I think I'm trying to say with this Rant series: We create our own realites by what we believe, and by what we say. Let me link some verses together: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..." (Proverbs 23:7). "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth...

Creation part 3

12/19/2014 09:50

"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31). God doesn't make mistakes. He created the heaven and the earth and it was very good. The heaven is the mind and the eath is the body. He created YOU and you...

Creation part 2

12/18/2014 13:04

Here's my thought for today: There was (and is) nothing wrong with creation. In the Genesis account, every time God created something He saw that it was good. And the first thing He saw that was good comes in Genesis 1:4, "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the...
