The Integrity of His Intentions
We all know the Lord’s Prayer, right? Jesus begins with, “Our Father…” Not a Father. Not the Father. Our Father — personal, intimate, direct. The whole force of the prayer starts with belonging. That matters, because a lot of us were raised on the idea that Jesus loves everyone in general, which somehow made it 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

The Kingdom of God is treason.

He begins with a declaration — “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel”.

But when Obama was elected, Fox started screaming about the “Socialist threat” and the “godless Muslim in the White House.” I began tuning in to Glenn Beck, who claimed to Continue reading

The Church Forgot Its Base
The working class once formed the living backbone of the church — farmers, laborers, single mothers, service workers, the people who built and maintained the world. But over time, the establishment church traded solidarity for spectacle. It moved from the neighborhood to the suburb, from the table to the stage, from the people to the Continue reading

Pentecost for the poor
Principle: The Spirit Confirms What Is True Divine power still exists. It has not retreated from the earth — it has withdrawn from hypocrisy. God does not inhabit corruption. He confirms truth. Heaven’s power has never been random. It falls where faith meets justice, where love meets need. From the beginning, this was the covenant: Continue reading

The Basin and the Towel
The Basin and the Towel In John 13, on the night He was betrayed, Jesus did something no king, priest, or prophet had ever done — He took off His outer robe, wrapped Himself in a towel, poured water into a basin, and began washing the feet of His disciples. Feet covered in dust, sweat, Continue reading
