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

An audience of one
In 2005, I preached a three-day revival at a big church in Houston. The meetings started on a Friday, and afterward I took any interested church folks out on the streets to learn real ministry. That night we headed down to Westheimer to talk to the runaways and gutterpunks who lived out there. I arranged… 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

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

When Prophets Sell the Flag as the Cross
Mario Murillo is publicly claiming that God Himself is confirming Christian nationalism with miracles — that divine power is endorsing empire. That’s not revival; that’s blasphemy with a sound system. And it demands more than debate. ⸻ Stand-Out Truth: You Don’t Argue With Counterfeit Fire — You Confront It If this were an honest disagreement… 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 Law That Kills vs. The Grace That Restores
Charlie Kirk’s “Perfect Law” Meets Christ’s Perfect Love 1. The Scene They Both Quote Charlie Kirk invoked Leviticus 18 and 20, where the ancient law declares: “If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death.” He called this “God’s… Continue reading
