Let’s stop pretending.
This isn’t evangelism.
This is idolatry in disguise.
You’ve baptized compromise and called it creativity.
You’ve clothed rebellion in relevance,
And made God’s altar a stage for your ego.
How much more of the world must you wear
Before you realize the Gospel is naked truth
Not a costume for cultural approval?
How many times must you flirt with sin
Before you admit—you love it?
You don't hate evil.
You hate being called out.
You don’t want repentance.
You want applause.
You want to keep your sin,
But add “Jesus” to the bio
So you feel better when you sleep around with pride.
You don’t want the Man Christ Jesus
Who flipped tables and called men whitewashed tombs.
You want a soft-spoken, PR-approved,
Instagram-verified, people-pleasing mascot.
But God will not be mocked.
You chase His hand for the gift,
But spit on His face when He asks for your life.
You want provision, but not presence.
You want miracles, but not submission.
You want platforms, but not purity.
Tell me
Is Jesus not enough of a brand?
You walk like the world,
Talk like the world,
Flirt with the world,
Then cry “persecution” when it doesn’t clap for your hollow, fog-filled concert.
You made Him an accessory.
You put Him on a T-shirt,
Slapped Him in your bio,
And buried Him under ambition.
He is not your mascot.
He is King.
And He will be treated as such.
Within sleepy sheep folds
of retributive divine justice
postponed til kingdom comes
and diva queens go
to hell where we sinfully belong
like all unfaithful *******
refusing to shuck and jive
custody of 20/20 eyes
and to disconnect bicameral ears,
Discovering within these quiet unexamined folds
remains an uncreative fundamental tension
between evangelical healing justice
and bad faith zealotry,
Between good news of God's universal EarthLove
and dark colonizing missionary zeal
to overpower alien health and happiness,
compassion and gratitude for global regenerate nature
spiritual nondualism.
Zealotry of StraightWhiteMale scriptural reconstructions
in Western roots fed by colonization memories
of overpowering violence.
Evangelical multicultural good news
roots are living watered
by creolizing necessities,
communal simplicity,
non-elite sufficiency
found in multiculturing non-violent domestic herstories,
communication circles ecofeminist
compassioned philosophies
of ecologically green resonant theology,
restorative win/win EarthJustice,
permacultural health-system therapies.
Zealotry is born of punishing bad faith
in colonizing memories.
Evangelism is born of healing good faith
in polycultural creolizing visions.
Zealotry is extrinsically LeftBrain dominant
and anti-Christlike.
Evangelism is intrinsically RightBrain prominent
and EarthCreation healing.
Which version of Christianity
do you find supported
by Republican StraightWhiteMale TrumpCards?
How might this compare unfavorably
to GreenDemocrat ecofeminist compassion therapy
if you are more of a Gospel Health-Crusading Evangelical?

Compassion does not speak in judgment;
at least not before sufficient listening
on the emerging edge of gratitude.
Therapeutic sciences now speak
as one with inter-religious mystics,
That kindness
is physically and mentally therapeutic
for those who receive
and especially those who adeptly give,
facilitate,
mediate
mentor,
empower
while cooperatively enlightening.
While we readily see this bilateral correlation
of kind-therapy
and mean-pathology
when counseling couples
and quarreling kids
and mediating sometimes ancient
multigenerational family disputes,
We less often consider historical
and larger present day applications
to things like slavery
colonization
criminalization
patriarchalism
parochialism
evangelism
apartheid
white supremacy
homophobia
sexism
racism
Competitive capitalist drive to win/lose survive
without cooperative communion to win/win thrive
These utilitarian
punishing
elitist
competitive issues are all antithetical to kindness
of multiculturing communions,
to the exercise of healthy democratic communication,
to resiliently trust
transgenerational wealthy communities
Where compassion seldom speaks
in win/lose evolving/devolving judgment,
and not before sufficient win/win
deep dynamic
revolutionary listening
For compassion's integral reasons
before speaking impassioned feelings
out of fore-giving healthy hearted season.
*2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Evangelist, a Bible-label for work* of God’s empowerment
Victorious for wondrous and glorious reaching-out venture
Asserting that the Saviour anchors redemption-assurance
Nurturing faith, propped well upon rich spiritual nourishing…
Going, guided by the Holy Ghost; with divine light, glowing
Enabled to minister along joyful servanthood example
Lover of the Lord, leading others midst building lives…
I am the fruit; and now endowed with evangelism-influence
Steadfast is my commitment for prayerful winning of souls
Triumphant to tell the Gospel: “Trust Jesus Christ today.”

So I’ve got a little secret
‘bout evangelism “tracts”.
See, they load us up each Sunday,
and we all plan our attacks.
Sometimes, we hear a sermon;
sometimes, we even sing,
But mostly, it’s a Ponzi scheme
to build a brand new wing.
And when we hand ‘em out,
we get a little star,
And sometimes, we get double points
for going to the bars!
We count up all our stars;
the one who has the most
Is featured in the lobby
and gets to sit up close!
And lately, we’ve been filming
when we go to proselytize;
We’re getting wise like serpents;
YouTube lets us monetize!
The reason we encounter
is to make you feel distressed,
And to get you to throw money
in the hopes that you’ll be blessed.
Now if you think I’m serious,
you don’t know me so well.
But what is true is I believe
in heaven and in hell.
The folks I know who hand those out
believe in these things too,
Because they love with all their heart,
they’re called to see it through.
They’ve read God’s revelation:
creation, fall of man.
They’ve read of Christ’s redeeming acts,
according to God’s plan.
They’ve read the Holy Spirit’s grace,
regenerating hearts.
They want to share the news they learned:
this gospel in four parts.
The news they share is simple:
that none seek after God,
That Christ died voluntarily
a thing most find quite odd.
They know that God is holy,
a God of love and wrath,
His love poured out as blood that day
on each sinner’s behalf.
For those who would believe
His saving act by faith,
Christ imparts his righteousness,
escape due wrath unscathed.
There’s much more in the Bible,
a life’s worth there, in fact.
We want to share His life with you;
we start with little tracts.
----------
all in fun, and with great love and respect for my soup friends and their beliefs
Holy Father
Once upon midnight prayerful
The purposeful pontifical priesting
Holy Father
while I pondered, discipline and careful
I discovered the believers
I crave the evangelic, exegetical evangelism
I crave the sacerdotal, sorrowful scriptures
Holy Father
I came believing
Deep into that darkness preaching
The Pentecostals came impeaching
As of someone gently speeching, speeching
Eagerly I looked for the contemplative
The solemn sermon sidetracking
My mind always strays to unbelievers
Help me be an overcomer
And not to be a bother
Holy Father
I heard a humanistic, unrushed exonerating
I heard an apostolic, ruminative legislating
Death shall bring souls
And the individual never upholding
Deep into that darkness extolling
I felt compelled to sniff the scriptures
Much I marvelled this devotionalist partial
While I pondered, subtotal and impartial
The melancholic mammon moralizing
My mind always strays to saints
Can't help it
And so I screamed, 'Is that an eldership?'
'It's that bible,' I muttered
An echo murmured back the word, 'scriptures!'
Help me, help me
Holy
Holy Father

Does the utopian human not salute,
The ideal person, right and sensible?
Which psychologists can easily foster and describe,
In certain personality models which are not dispensable?
The utopian human stands to beg,
The question posed by psychologists,
“What is your character and personality?”
Their good models encourage an interactive dexterity.
When a business or organisation invests in people,
They’re hoping to entertain a certain personality;
One that's open, giving and receptive,
Not one that deceives by theology or has religious animosity.
Your space - your problems and your pleasures,
Must be respected in a mandatory fashion,
Not differentiated away from to illuminate,
Someone else’s spirituality and god passion.
That morality exists necessitates the virtues,
Which today can be separated away from beliefs,
But religious demands should not go unquestioned,
As a platform without judgement relief.
Christian fundamentalists are either,
Right or wrong in the head,
And it is very much apparent to me,
That today they should be being lead.
Their kids can be not loved at all,
For their intellect, past-times and emotions,
By parents who will only talk to them,
If they do their daily devotions.
When you look out on life from its precipice,
If god is there, you will lack,
The speech, the confidence and the creativity to mark,
The land upon which you will embark.
Enculture yourself in human principles -
The church’s toleration of them is slight;
I don't believe agnosticism is an option,
If you want to be in the light.
Atheism and humanism let you become a better person,
And give you moral fibre every day if you would like;
But Christianity’s focus is on godliness and evangelism,
So atheism’s a better cognition, ‘cos agnosticism’s just not right.
Oh, Wash Me
thoroughly
Jesus as it is written
How beautiful are the feet of them
That preach the gospel of peace
And bring glad tidings of good things
Beautiful, beautiful sweet feet of evangelism
Harness the glory trails beautiful
Feet of evangelism I walk for God's glory
Marching on I walk
To heal the sick back and forth
This is the story to see to sleep and rise
And do it all over again waters filled my soul
My sandals are worn filled with earthly shore
But my feet are pure
Beautiful feet
Walk on spread my toes
Place my feet on the hot desert sands to the lost
And the save like in Paul I walk
And in all directions carrying my sword and my shield
Harness the glory trails dry bones rise up
Get out of those graves
Lord help us close the division of...
the beautiful feet of evangelism
