We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.
Seven years ago, Jose's home nation of Venezuela, a wealthy and developed nation, fell apart suddenly. It failed economically, politically, militarily, agriculturally, socially and culturally. Jose had to move into the mountains just outside the border to survive.
He's writing about the experience because most of us in functioning societies don't know how quickly it can happen, and what a collapse is like.
He says: "Today, where the only law is the fear imposed by AK-toting guys, in unidentified vehicles, crime has increased in the countryside and in the cities. Restrictions on importation were lifted and those using foreign currency made huge fortunes importing from abroad."
"It saddened and alarmed me to learn from a farmer in the Los Andes Mountains that people would come from the town, walking kilometers uphill during the night, even when raining, to steal potatoes. Crops that have not yet matured are being dug out of the ground. Farmers have to sleep in their potato fields to avoid being stolen from. Unarmed, roving bands of four or more thieves have caused the farmers to arm themselves with machetes and pikes."
The April 12, 2026 election in Hungary may be even more eventful than the American midterms. Foreign interference, foreign money, and foreign propaganda have been focused for years to unseat Prime Minister Orban, the longest ruling leader in Europe. Why? Because Orban figured out how to transform a nation destroyed by Soviet secular socialist anti-Christian terror. He led Hungary back to longstanding Christian foundations of faith, reverence for Christ and obedience to the Scriptural duties of fathers, churches and civil magistrates. The Epstein elites of global governance, programmable currency, transhumanism, anti-Christian technocracy, and secular social engineering have all united to destroy Orban before his example of courage and Protestant Reformation brings hope and a Christian counter-revolution to other nations. Orban is dangerous because he is showing the West how to restart the international network of Christendom, the vast network of Christian nations.

Note date and time. Mr. Trump just threatened to blow up Iranian power plants if the Strait is not opened within 48 hours.
Apparently Iran responded, indicating a willingness to do so if Mr. Trump agrees to these conditions:
America will end the war with
— Guarantees of no future wars
— Closure of US military bases in region
— Compensation/war reparations to Iran from both US and Israel
— ’End wars on all fronts in region’
— Establishment of a new legal regime for Strait of Hormuz
— Prosecution and extradition of individuals affiliated with ‘hostile media’ to Iran
In February, America cut off negotiations just prior to a sudden missile barrage. Will that happen again? The world is watching the countdown.
Are people of the twenty-first century too messed up to love one another, sacrifice for one another, or to mature in the presence of difficulty?
For modern marriages, three decades of therapeutic counselling trends are bearing destructive fruit. It's an ongoing revolt against maturity. Sanctification is today a foreign concept, even in the Evangelical world.
What do people count as relational wisdom today? Fighting for your own personal "rights"...and winning in the process. Perfecting clever snarkiness. Outdoing one another in selfishness. Juxtaposing personal dreams and ambitions against another's personal dreams and ambitions.
The way forward when life together gets unbearable? Grumble to a "counselor." Or, if you're tech-savvy, crowd source your therapy. Pour out all your grudges and aversions on the internet, in the guise of "getting a little perspective" [and advice from the mob.]
Today the internet mob is a feedback loop which has become a death spiral -- a chorus...
