i don't like the fact that you disguise the fact that at the end of the day, you guys are religious fanatics behind positive messages such as in this song. There is no doubt western societies faces serious moral dilemmas in their everyday lives and in the greater picture involving our relations with the rest of the world, however subordination to religion is not the answer. it is indeed dangerous as religion, as illustrated in the middle east, fractures society causing hatred, violence, even war

If you bother to dig a bit deeper you'll find we're not peddling just another religion, but trying to provide answers to some of the big issues of the day. And yes, these answers come through the life and teachings of Christ. I'm glad you like the message in the song, as this is a starting point: if you like the 'fruit', maybe the tree ain't so bad after all!

Malcolm, it's significant that you chose a username based on a demonic "gatekeeper" in Ghostbusters. The public should know that your post is a slanderous lie. Malcolm left our community 25 years ago and has had no contact with us since. He hides in South Korea to escape legal action for his slander. Our work in Kenya continues; no sales of body organs, no mandatory quotas. But, yes, legal action against a family that almost killed one of our members. Get a life, Malcolm.

Great song, excellent message! How often do we end up slaving away for a life that we know won't make us or others truly happy?

Wow! What a fantastic song! Reminded me of Saint Francis leaving his worldly life and walking out of Assisi.

Thought the clip was good at showing the emptiness of living a selfish life. Made me want to go to Africa! Thanks JCs!

Hey, there's my friend Jeremy. I dig you guys. You guys walk the walk.

I have talked to Jeremy in this video a lot. I like what the Jesus Christians do. Some call you guys a cult, but I have never met a JC who tried to convince me to join.  I am not a christian but find Freeganism fascinating as an anti capitalist. Also I have even taken to dumpster diving.

Hi, I am Grace, former JC. Your allegations of abuse are completely false and I will have nothing to do with this slander.

I dont agree with any christianity at all,but its not a terrible song. The lyrics are well thought out.
