William Booth started it to drag drunks out of hell.
Now it's twenty dollars in your pocket and a broke keyboard.
"I'm gonna pop some tags."
That's what happened.
Mission creep.
Soul rescue became secondhand zebra jammies.
Young Men's Christian Association.
Bible studies in 1844.
Yoga classes in 2025.
Same building. Different god.
Nov 1, EBT might get cut.
Christians picked sides.
Half begging Caesar for mercy.
Half celebrating consequences.
Both forgot the widow.
Famine.
Widow. Flour dust. Spoon of oil.
Son starving.
Elijah: "Feed me first."
She gave it.
"The barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail" (1 Kings 17:16, KJV).
God didn't petition King Ahab.
He demanded obedience.
Acts 2:44-45.
"All that believed were together, and had all things common."
They sold their possessions.
Themselves.
No petition to Rome. No waiting on Caesar.
They did it.
The church isn't Goodwill.
Matthew 28:19: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations."
Not clothe. Not feed.
Teach.
One mission.
William Booth is dead.
His mission is a retail store.
You're next.
Nov 1 isn't coming for EBT.
It's coming for you.
