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.

Creation part 1

12/17/2014 12:01

I hear people talk about God speaking the world into existence, but according to the Genesis account, God created the heaven and the earth in verse one and didn't speak until verse three. And when God spoke He said the only Word He ever says. He said, "Let there be light." He released Jesus--He...

Knowing it all--the ultimate truth of the universe that Daddy loves us and has given all things into our hand--doesn't mean much unless you understand what you know. That's why even though we have an unction from the Holy Spirit and we know all things... it is that same Holy Spirit that leads and...

It's not what you know... it's what you understand. It's not what you know... it's what you believe. Because what you DO flows from what you believe. And it's not what you know... it's what you DO with what you know. Look at Matthew 9:29 in the Message Bible, "He touched their eyes and said,...

Know It All part 3

12/14/2014 13:04

Just because we know it all doesn't mean we are know it alls. Everything we know--the truth that God is our Father and that He loves us unconditionally--is not to pump us up. It is bring forth the manifestation of truth: God loves us, and because He first loved us, we love Him. We love Him by...

Know It All part 2

There's a huge difference between what you KNOW and what you UNDERSTAND. It's the difference between head knowledge and heart knoweldge. It's the difference between knowing ABOUT God, and KNOWING God. It's when what's true--and always has been true, and always will be true--becomes true for you....

Know It All part 1

12/12/2014 12:49

1 John 2:20 tells us that, "...ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." This has always been an extremely important revelation to me. Because we seem to go about this life from a place of lack. We are always trying to get something--as if we haven't already been blessed with...

The Dance part 5

12/11/2014 13:10

We dance because there's a song in our heart. A love song between a Father and His Son. A love song between the Lamb and His wife. We live because He lives in and through and as us. Life's a dance, we learn as we go. The Holy Spirit leads and guides us into all truth--the truth that God loves us....

The Dance part 4

Here's my advice: Dance your own dance and don't worry about what other people think about it. God made you... and He made you YOU. He put a song in your heart. He created you for a purpose. You have an EPIC destiny. An Eternal Purpose In Christ. I read somewhere that the two most important days in...

The Dance part 3

12/09/2014 12:57

God is dancing over us. God is dancing with us. God is dancing IN us. That's what this life is all about. It's not about dancing FOR God, with a constant fear that if we miss a step He's "going to get us." It's about relationship. It's not laws you keep, it's a life that keeps you. It's not about...

The Dance part 2

12/08/2014 13:15

Here's the thing about dancing: It takes two to tango. And I know that you can dance all by yourself. And I know that if your friends don't dance then they're no friends of mind. But, as we saw yesterday, it is God who dances over us. It is God who dances IN us. That's so key. Because it takes away...
