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

The Kingdom of God is treason.
In Mark, the first chapter, Jesus arrives on the scene and begins his ministry. He begins with a declaration — “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel”.

But context is covenant. What was written to liberate the exploited has been twisted to enslave the free. Acts… Continue reading

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 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

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
