When the Poor Rise, the Altars Fall
Revolution doesn’t start in a think tank — it starts in a grocery line when the card runs dry. It starts in a break room where somebody whispers I can’t do this anymore. It starts when the people who built the machine realize they’ll never be allowed to own it. France had its Third Estate,… Continue reading

The MAGA Confederacy
How the Old Empire Found Wi-Fi They didn’t lose the war — they just changed uniforms. The plantation class traded gray coats for pinstripes. The overseers became sheriffs. The pulpits got bigger, the theology got meaner, and the flag turned corporate red. Power never dies — it rebrands. And the Confederacy didn’t vanish; it metastasized.… Continue reading

The Lies of the Right
In 2008–2009, I was a small-town pastor. I’d grown accustomed to watching Fox News because they seemed friendly to what we called “normal” Christian values. 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

This is why we must stand against false prophets like Mario Murillo, and their antichrist religion. 1.

The World and the Believer
When Jesus warned against “the world,” He wasn’t talking about nightclubs, gay neighbors, or secular music. He was talking about systems of power — empire, exploitation, and the machinery that crushes the poor. In Scripture, “the world” is shorthand for Mammon’s operating system: debt, hierarchy, and respectability built on fear. But the American church—especially the… 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
