Anyone who believes the poor are “parasites” violates the clear teaching of Jesus-and a political movement based on such beliefs puts a nation in jeopardy of God’s judgment.
That’s the politics of woe, of the world's wealthiest man, the politics of MAGA.

If you are preaching this Sunday, follow Karl Barth’s dictum: read the lectionary then read the news.
And let your sermon write itself.
Blessed are the poor. Woe to the rich.
