The Confession · Mt 6:24

Judge first.
Comfort second.

This is not witness-wear. These are confessions sewn into black cloth — hard verses, cut in the manner of the old engravers, for those who know that every coin has a master.

We do not sell you peace. We print the sword, the whip of cords, and the axe laid at the root of the tree. Wear it as an accusation. Begin with yourself.
