🌍 Ways of the World

There’s a picture that’s been forming in my heart: people as coal and systems as machines.

Think about it. The train or the boat—the system of the world—keeps moving because someone is shoveling coal into the furnace. That coal is people: the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and the prisoners. Their suffering is the “fuel” that keeps the machine running.

The Illustration: People as Coal, Systems as Machines

  • The Train/Boat (System): represents the systems of this world—governments, economies, prisons, corporations, politics, even media.

  • The Coal (People): the poor, brokenhearted, captives, and prisoners. Their struggles are consumed to keep the machine alive.

How the Fuel Works:

  • Poverty fuels cheap labor, consumer debt, payday loans, welfare dependency (which justifies government expansion), and charitable industries that exist to manage—not cure—poverty.

  • Brokenhearted (mental health, trauma, addiction) fuels the pharmaceutical industry, therapy industries, and cycles of dysfunction that create new “patients.”

  • Captives (addiction, oppression, debt) fuel entire economies—credit cards, predatory lenders, rehab centers, even entertainment industries that profit off escape and distraction.

  • Prisoners fuel the prison-industrial complex—cheap prison labor, billions in contracts, probation/parole systems, and even political narratives.

This is why the “fix” never seems to come. Because if people are the coal, then curing them would starve the furnace.

Jesus and the True Cure

When Jesus stood up and read from Isaiah 61, He declared good news for the poor, healing for the brokenhearted, liberty for the captives, and freedom for the prisoners. He spoke directly to the people who had been reduced to “fuel” in their system.

The people of His day longed for Him to overthrow Rome, their system of oppression. But Jesus didn’t come to patch the system or to play into its logic—He came with the cure. He came to stop people from being thrown into the furnace in the first place. He came to restore dignity, to heal the mind and heart, to give freedom where the world only offers cycles.

The Grasshopper Mentality

But here’s the challenge. When Israel’s spies looked at the Promised Land, they saw giants and said, “We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them” (Numbers 13:33). They looked at the land God had given them and said, “This is a land that devours its inhabitants.”

Isn’t that the same today? The systems of the world look so big, so unstoppable, that we see ourselves as powerless. We see ourselves as grasshoppers—small, weak, incapable of making change.

But the truth is the opposite: we are not fuel for the furnace. We are the solution God created. As long as we stay focused on the obstacle, we’ll never see the opportunity to become the cure.

The Call

Jesus has already declared the cure over us. The poor are not the world’s coal—they are heirs of the Kingdom. The brokenhearted are not permanent patients—they are comforted and restored. The captives are not commodities—they are free. The prisoners are not statistics—they are set at liberty.

The system survives on our pain. But God’s Kingdom thrives on our healing.

So the question is: which one will we feed?

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַעֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...
