To American Preachers
Every person who is called a “minister of the gospel” in this nation — this is your line in the sand. You have watched the rise of fascism in your own backyard. You have seen immigrant families torn apart, asylum seekers pepper-balled, protestors beaten, the poor crushed beneath corporate greed — and you said nothing.… Continue reading

Faith on the Spectrum!
I didn’t choose this kind of faith — it chose me. I didn’t learn it in a classroom or from a pulpit. It was burned into my chest the first time I heard Christ speak and I knew — He wasn’t being poetic. He meant it. “Take no thought for tomorrow.” He meant it. “Sell… Continue reading

A Clarion Call in the Dark: A Manifesto of the Light
Hear me, you brave souls—this is not a prayer, not a sermon—this is a summons. Not to violence, not to partisanship, but to that primal, sacred power within: conscience. Stand. Withdraw your consent. Unbind your hands. Refuse your complicity. Part I: The Times Demand Witnessing We live in a time when the old boundaries tremble,… Continue reading

Recently, I have attempted to take a step back from my life and to rearrange it in a way that maybe could make me feel better. So, I decided to start with a very simple question. “What do I have to live for?” That was four days ago… The only answer that I’ve come up… Continue reading

This peddled as the very faith of our fathers in direct lineal descent from Christ and the apostles. We spoon-feed this insipid pabulum to… Continue reading

Revolutionary Papers: June 28, 2019
The Inheritance of the Meek Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 So we understand that meekness is not a submissive attitude that is easily imposed on. Rather, it is to demonstrate power without undue harshness. Quite a difference there. Christ’s promise to those that are meek is incredible; they… Continue reading

Revolutionary Papers: June 27, 2019
The Meekness Conspiracy Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 One of the very best things to me about Scripture is it’s limitless depth. When you get to the point of presuming that you have mastered a section, scripture has a way of quickly humbling you. Take this single verse from the Beatitudes, it has been translated so improperly that it beggars belief. It’s seriously almost offensive, we have… Continue reading
