I am fascinated by how communities of faith that have endured persecution have dealt with it.
Amish. Mennonite. Mormon. Hebrew. I may not be using the correct words; my study has scarcely begun.
Anyway it seems these communities DO NOT rely on governments to save them nor do they think that a good life is untenable whilst evil/fearfulness/degeneracy persists.
They seem to focus on those things that they can affect and leave the other stuff to God.
Do you think there are lessons for living well during difficult times? If so what? Thanks.
I agree this is an interesting point to consider. I had thought about what it might be like to join a Mennonite community. I think it would be simple, blissful living, but physically difficult.
That said I love tech and just don't know if j could give it up. I would also want to teach my kids tech and about the world rather than limiting them to the Mennonite traditional views.
