You're not cold.
You're not on fire.
You're just comfortable.
And that's the problem.
Lukewarm faith doesn't fight sin.
It just learns to live with it.
The most dangerous place to be spiritually is thinking
"I'm fine."
I had two abortions. I ran a Planned Parenthood clinic and even was named employee of the year. But Jesus met me in my brokenness, forgave me, and transformed my life.
No one is beyond His mercy. If He can redeem my story, He can redeem anyone’s.
Social Classes Are Not Permanent!!!
People constantly say, “The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the top 1% keeps getting richer.”
But something that is often ignored is that the top 1% is a pool of people, not the exact same people sitting at the top forever.
People are constantly moving in and out. In fact, recent Federal Reserve research found that one-third of people in the top 1% leave it after just one year, and about two-thirds are no longer there after ten years.
I have seen people move out of poverty and completely change their economic position.
Look at Myron Golden. He talks about going from working as a trash-truck driver and struggling financially to educating himself about money, sales, and business and eventually becoming a multimillionaire.
That’s what people miss when they talk about social classes as if they are permanent.
And even when you get to extreme wealth, the idea that everybody at the top was simply born there doesn’t hold up. Forbes says 67% of the world’s billionaires in 2026 are self-made.
This is also where I disagree with Marx.
Marx looked at society largely through classes: the bourgeoisie who own the means of production and the proletariat who sell their labor. He writes in The Communist Manifesto that communism would deprive people of the ability to use appropriation to “subjugate the labour of others.”
But this is where I disagree: employment itself is not subjugation.
You have something of value, whether that’s your labor, knowledge, skills, ideas, or time, and someone else has something of value that they’re willing to exchange for it. And you’re not permanently stuck with the value you currently bring.
You can learn. You can improve your skills. You can change jobs. You can negotiate. You can start a business. You can invest. You can go from employee to employer.
Does everybody start equally? No.
Does everybody have the exact same opportunities? No.
Does everybody who works hard become a millionaire? Obviously not.
But that’s completely different from saying your economic class is permanent.
People move up. People move down.
And that’s exactly what the data on the top 1% shows. Don’t be a victim, learn the game!
