We close our journey through Occupy Till I Come where every faithful reader should end: with hope, strategy, and a compelling historical example of what a small band of committed believers can accomplish when they faithfully occupy together. In eighteenth-century England, slavery was not only profitable—it was widely accepted as
In the last blog, we began applying the command to “Occupy Till I Come” to the different spheres of everyday life. We first looked at the family—the first culture we are called to disciple with care. Then we considered our understanding of the Church and how a biblical paradigm shapes
