The last shall be first
The Kingdom runs on an upside-down logic the powerful can’t stand. The ones overlooked, overworked, underpaid — the ones this world treats like background noise — God calls them first in line. The last shall be first. Not someday. Not in some far-off heaven. But whenever justice breaks in, whenever mercy takes the wheel, whenever Continue reading

THE TRUTH DOESN’T NEED HYPE — BUT PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HEAR IT
I’ve never been a hype man. I don’t do theatrics. I don’t do smoke machines, countdown clocks, or breathless “you won’t believe what happens next” manipulation. I grew up allergic to all that. Hype is what you use when you don’t have truth. Hype is the sugar-coating you smear on something that can’t stand on Continue reading

JAMES 2:5 AND THE DANGEROUS FAVOR OF GOD
“Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom He promised to those who love Him?” — James 2:5 James didn’t whisper this. He thundered it across the early church because the people needed to hear a truth the wealthy hated Continue reading

WHEN THE LIGHT THREATENS THE DARK
Some of y’all don’t even realize this yet, so let me say it plain: The reason the darkness keeps swinging at you is because your light won’t shut up. You love people when the world says abandon them. You help when the system says hoard. You forgive when bitterness would be easier. You stand with Continue reading

AMERICAN SKIN & THE SOLIDARITY OF GOD
How Being a Traditional Skinhead Shaped My Christianity Recognition — The Roots Run Deeper Than the Rumors Let me say it plain, without apology: I came up in the traditional skinhead world — the real one, the working-class one, the anti-racist one, the boots-on-the-ground brotherhood that predates the hijacking of the look by fascists and Continue reading

American Sodom
Luxury and Selfishness Have Defined the American Church Principle Luxury has become our liturgy. Selfishness, our creed. The American church, once the outpost of mercy, has become the mall of self-congratulation. What we call “blessing” would have been called idolatry by any prophet worth his sandals. We have built a nation of sanctuaries lined with Continue reading

Forgiveness Isn’t About the Offense
Forgiveness was never about the weight of what someone did. It’s not about scales of right and wrong. It’s not about who deserves what. Forgiveness is about reciprocity. It is the gate you open so mercy can reach you next. Jesus wasn’t poetic when He tied your forgiveness to how you forgive others. He was Continue reading

Honey in the Carcass
I became a believer in 1990.The day after I converted, I walked into the streets and never really left them. From 1990 to 2017 I stood on the margins, calling the church to repent.I yelled for reformation and revival in tin shacks with a single bulb swinging overhead.I screamed the same message in mega-churches that Continue reading

Why is the Gospel good news to the poor?
Because it was addressed to them first. Not spiritually ever-after. Not metaphorically broke. Not “poor in spirit” as a poetic euphemism for everyone. The actual poor. The overlooked. The overworked. The underpaid. The stepped on. The always last. The first exploited. The first blamed. The last resourced. Jesus didn’t open His ministry in Rome, the Continue reading

This is why we don’t see revival.
The problem isn’t Heaven. It’s follow-through. Jesus didn’t begin His ministry in secret or symbolism. He began it in public, in His hometown, in front of people who assumed they already knew Him. Nazareth got the first sermon. The carpenter became the Christ, stood up, unrolled Isaiah like a legal decree, and read, “The Spirit Continue reading
