It was quite interesting and makes a lot of sense.

It really hits home, though, when you look at numbers like that and realize the massive kingdom-shift that's well within our grasp. We just have to act on it, ya know? I think everyone likes to make excuses why it's not practical, or why these scriptures are "not for us today", or that only *some* are called to live so sacrificially... but just imagine if we all took that leap of faith, made the decision, started walking it out, living differently as of tomorrow, the change that could take place in one single day is insane. Think about the effects of this lifestyle in one whole month... Amazing!!! Ohav Shalom, Jamie Ariah,
