With this piece, Revolutionary Paideia launches a new weekly feature, “Pop-Up Sermon.” What is “Pop-Up Sermon”? From one sentence to a full-length piece, this feature, “Pop-Up Sermon,” will offer you a sermon that you might not receive from your church’s pulpit. Uncomfortable truths will often be submitted to you. As spineless, milquetoast, equivocating, and self-serving preachers are becoming more prevalent, I commit to being that preacher for you who will deliver what you might not want to hear but need to hear. The central goal is to speak some relevant, useful words into your life at least once a week. Be sure to check out Revolutionary Paideia each day, considering a “Pop-Up Sermon” could emerge at any time.
Today’s Pop-Up Sermon:
Learn to appreciate people. When people fail to appreciate you, then you have a responsibility to teach them how to appreciate you. This may, unfortunately for them, mean ignoring them. Know your worth; then govern yourself accordingly. Don’t let folks use you, and don’t be their fool.

Great post
Thank you, Jay! I very much appreciate you for reading.
Awesome post. This is true. As for those preachers. They think the Bible is a bag of trail mix. They pick out the pieces they like and ignore the rest. Don’t let them use you. They’ll bash you from the same mouth they beg from.
Thank you, Tim! The bible teaches them tell the whole truth and not just the pieces of it they desire. They bash and beg because they are broken on the inside.
