And this is where the church comes in; modeling a new kingdom of hope and peace amidst the failing powers around us, who will constantly fail humanity. A market based on consumption like ours is bound to fail.

Unfortunately I don’t think we can depend on our leaders (or expect them to) make decisions for our benefit. We don’t live in a society where people are put first but rather money. Money and the market ends up being all that determines value. Which is why these forerunners are going to be people who do lead groups of people who start to value people and things on kingdom values.

I think the church has a rough road ahead because they depend too much on politics for the goodness of God’s kingdom to flow through instead of being the force of goodness themselves.

Comment on Housing Crisis or Transfer of Wealth? by Hartley Smith

My comments are shallow at best for I know very little of what is really behind the increases in the price of oil. I do appreciate your dedicate research and the time you have invested in bringing us the information. I am not questing your findings nor the conclusions that you have arrived at. I too believe that the world will be under great stresses as we come near to the return of Christ. I am not sure if the present crises with oil and food costs escalating really means the end of the ages has come, but it could be the catalyst for future suffering that will come upon all of humanity. Truly our full redemption is getting closer. Praise God! Thanks Paul for sending this info to me. I have thought of you a number of times of late.

You know that when beer is cheaper than gas, I would rather drink myself silly than drive myself silly.

During the depression (The Dirty Thirties), the bars filled up with people who were out of work, despondent and felt they had no hope. We have no control on these economic issues while fat cats get fatter. It is unfortunate that we have few leaders who are willing to step up to the plate and “actually make a difference.” Our bars are full and our pocket books are empty. Is this a warm-up to depression or just a recession. Economic Crisis.

I applaud “The Forerunners” in this area for at least helping us with access to information about what is really happening. I encourage everyone to stop buying Shell and Esso gas. An action we can all take is to buy our necessary gas from the little gas stations so that we can at least hurt the big ones. If everyone did this, it would make a huge difference. The ripple effect.
