Chapter Seventy-Five: Determination

The missionary is like a pebble dropped in a calm lake, and the pebble is inconspicuous to the wide surface of the lake. However, the ripples caused by the stones will gradually spread with the help of the wind on the surface of the lake and the swimming of fish under the lake. When one looked at it again, the ripples had covered the entire surface of the lake.

Odro's understanding of the church is clearer and more profound than that of his brother-in-law. He was unmotivated and spent his days mingling with ordinary people, but he knew better than the noble consuls what the people at the bottom of the world needed.

That's change!

Nothing remains the same, and even gold, which is thought to be eternal, fades with time.

For countless years, this world has been lifeless, and this divine war is not so much a reshuffle of the power of the gods, but a reshuffle of the dignity and humility of all things in this heaven and earth.

Ordinary people's anger, which has been suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years, has finally found a breakthrough for catharsis, and once they confirm it, it will be a torrent to wash everything in this world!

Gutling was unimpressed, and his life of dignity and luxury made his mind paralyzed, and in the benefits of all kinds of benefits and power, he became a different person, the opposite of ordinary people.

Before the Divine War, this dichotomy was not obvious. People elect consuls to serve the public, and it can be said that consuls represent the will of the people. However, after the war of the gods, the emergence of the state system and the white-hot war made this power from the people lose the reins that it should have been put on, and it broke out of the reins, spreading its power endlessly.

In order to better resist the invasion of Jeruth, the appointment of consuls was no longer elected by the people, but directly appointed by the supreme ruling body of the country, composed of archons. In order to safeguard the interests of the front line and the country, the country advances and the people retreat, and everything must make way for war. In the process, the will of the people was violated.

The most prevalent problem is in food.

Many cities have begun to issue bans, and the consumption of this food will reduce the transportation of front-line supplies, and it is imperative to ban winemaking. It is difficult to say whether this directive is right or wrong, it is extremely correct from the point of view of a country, the war on the front line is anxious, the soldiers need supplies, they need to be able to eat and drink. But for ordinary people, it is an unpleasant command, because they have lost one of the things they have in life.

Coupled with a series of influences and monopolies brought about by a high degree of centralization, a volcano is quietly preparing to erupt!

Just down the street not far from this house, Austin, who sells fruit for a living, drags her chin and looks at the unpredictable clouds in the sky. He was still thinking about yesterday's meal, and in addition to the delicious food, what kept him more focused on what the missionary Agar had said.

This is just like what Rossi said when he taught these missionaries in the city of Lookout, the core of the church is only two points, the first is to emphasize the right of ordinary people to pursue happiness, and the second point is to give ordinary people a kind of confidence that they can create happiness themselves.

The first point is easy to understand, the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of beautiful things is not something difficult to do, the real death lies in the second point, that is, to create happiness. What is the creation of happiness? We can understand that we can build something that conforms to our own values with limited resources, and then there is an antithesis in this matter. Anyone or anything that hinders the creation of happiness will become an enemy.

The enemy will eventually be the object of defeat, because everyone has the right to pursue happiness.

Austin wonders what her happiness is.

What's that, exactly?

Enough money for him to squander?

A variety of delicate beauties?

Unparalleled supreme power?

An invincible peerless force?

Or ...... Peace of mind and contentment?!

He sighed abruptly, as if it was all he wanted. He hopes that he can be clothed and fed, that he can hug left and right, that he can command the world, and that he can be invincible.

But he suddenly found that even though all this could make him feel happy, it could not make his heart feel satisfied!

I may be a greedy person!

He thought so.

He glanced over at the tallest, most elaborate and luxurious building in the city, and in that house lived the most noble man in the city.

I want to be a big guy like that, too.

Inadvertently, a seed quietly sprouted in his heart.

He patted his cheek, and suddenly it occurred to him that Pastor Agar would have a dinner today, and he would have to tell some stories and solve some people's doubts. I don't know why, he immediately had an anticipation and an urge to go to the appointment again. This time, his purpose was not to drink delicious food, but to listen and feel everything that Agar had to say.

He felt that Agar would unravel his confusion for him.

There are actually many people who are haunted by Austen, there are not many fools in this world, and many times they just "didn't think of it", not "didn't think of it". Agar is like a key that opens a door to their spiritual world.

Before the appearance of this key, Austin had never thought about so many things, the only thing he had to think about was how much money he could make and whether he could fill his stomach.

The elites have a monopoly on education and knowledge, and sometimes there is nothing wrong with looking at this matter from their standpoint, and it is extremely correct.

Education gives people ideals, and knowledge gives people desires.

A storm is quietly brewing!

This has happened in many places, where fanatical believers have become missionaries whose ideal is to shed the glory of God the Father on the earth. For this, they even risked their own lives!

Over the course of several days, more and more people attended the meal, and Agar slowly turned these people who came to "eat food and listen to stories" into believers, from simple stories to profound teachings.

On the seventh day, Austin stood up.

"We shouldn't be silent!", he looked at everyone in the meeting, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him, and he was slightly excited, "The greatness of the Father should not be limited to each other, but should be understood and known by more people. Before that, I had never thought of anything else, and every day was spent in a state of confusion, like a dead but alive corpse, living insensitive to this land.

It was God the Father who made me know the value and meaning of my existence, and I felt like a new life! But when I looked back and saw that there were countless people who were the same as I used to be, I suddenly felt that the moment I came into this world, I had taken some responsibility. These responsibilities did not make me aware of the burden on my body before, but now that I am awake, I understand my responsibilities and obligations, and I need to wake up more people!"

The participants of the dinner party were all solemn, and Agar also smiled and nodded repeatedly, which gave Austin more strength and courage!

He looked at Agar, "I heard that a cathedral has been built in the city of Wangri, which is the home of all believers, the place of the soul, and we should also build a church, right here, in the middle of the city!", he waved his arms and raised them high, "This is our duty, and it is our right, and no one can stop our determination!"

Odero's face changed slightly, and he returned to his original state, and he also nodded, "I will contribute to it, Pastor Agar, what do you see?"

How could Agar, as a missionary, refuse to build a church?

Odro was vaguely aware that something was beginning to get out of his imagination and control.

He sighed silently, everything he did was for this moment, in the face of monstrous power, to protect his family. It would be nice if it was possible to gain some more power.

The storm is finally coming!
