We need a little chaos in the comfortable places to shake shit up. May we be humbled and learn a little more about Jesus' upside-down kingdom that you so often talk about. Peace to you Dan. Bring it.

May we be humbled and learn a little more about Jesus’ upside-down kingdom that you so often talk about.

Peace to you Dan.

As we see the nations fall, we'll see the mega ministries fall and the prosperity doctrines that have seduced the masses into believing in such horrible selfish ways. We will then learn to love our neighbor as we are humbled and repent and are brought back to our senses, the Lord will open our eyes, and He will come and reign...and the world will be filled with His glory as Scripture tells us. A coming Great Depression?...we've been in one for years and it has nothing to do with economics.

My husband and I, before we were married, lived on a christian community in northern British Columbia. It was a self suffiecient organic farm, and is where we also went to college. There are many of these communities all accross the world. Sadly, many people have left due to some abuse of power, politics, etc. There is a large one in Maine where we visit, but it is not self sufiecient. These communities were started about 40 years ago for the very reasons you mentioned. People wanted to learn how to live together, to be self sufficient, work off the land. I loved it. I wanted to live there forever, but left due to some of the reasons I mentioned above. I miss living in community and trusting each other for survival. Some of those communities are left abandoned with many empty buildings, lots of fertile land, and no one to live there. My husband and I talk a lot about going back now that we have the "know how" to live with 100+ people, and live self sufficiently. Strange that now when there is the most need for this sort of thing, there are a lack of people. Dear Dan,
