This is a good start, but it would help your case for you to talk less about what you think, and show what God thinks. For example: James 2:5-7 states that. . . 5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?" Also, what's at the heart of this blog? What drives it? A prophet (using Brueggemann’s language) always leads one from despair, frustration, or anger to hope. Always to hope! Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." The Grace of Jesus allows us to see the positive in the negative. I read last semester that, "the best form of criticism is to offer a better solution." I can't recall where I read it, and I'm quite sure that I butchered it, but that is the gist of it.
"It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, but it takes strength to be gentle and kind." Morrissy
