I've been thinking a lot about how this period will be written about, 20, 50 years from now, and the level of governmental collapse is pretty hard to fathom in the moment, but will be crystal clear from that future vantage point.

“Their hearts hunger and thirst; they are aware that something of God’s eternity and truth should be revealed in us, but they don’t quite know what to do about it.” – Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
Interior page from Action in Waiting showing page number 2 with a running header at the top right. The page is filled with justified black serif text and reads as follows: “A tremendous misunderstanding has come about wrich. regard to God's kingdom. Much has been said abour the church. Much has been said about the teachings that are preserved in the church, about the various denomina cions that have become a sacred good within the body of Christianity. Too much emphasis has been placed on forms by which we express ourselves as Christians. Thus today wre cannot deny that many people no longer really find the living qualities that our Father in heaven wanted to give us in Jesus Christ. They have neither seen nor experienced the life that comes from God, and so they are in a fix. On the one hand they cannot deny that they too need God, God's word, God's revelation, in their hearts. On the other hand they no longer quite believe in the means through which God's word is being proclaimed, and thus many of them no longer know what to do with themselves in regard to God's kingdom. Their hearts hunger and thirst; they are aware that something of God's eternity and truth should be revealed in us, but they don't quite know what to do about it.”
