Every day, there are examples of Americans pushing back against the agenda of the radical left. And every day, there are more signs that there could be a major political reaction against the leftist agenda in the midterm elections. But even with the best possible electoral outcome, without sweeping revival in the church, America could still collapse.
That's because America's greatest problems are spiritual and moral first, leading to the larger societal, political, and economic challenges we face. But unless the heart is cured, the body will die.
One of my colleagues is an astute Christian attorney who has been on the front lines of the culture wars for decades, from the local courthouse to the Supreme Court.
He recently tweeted this to a small group of leaders: "Unless something dramatic happens, the midterms will be a blood bath for progressives. VA was the first canary in the coal mine. The San Fran recall shows the train is picking up steam. Biden's appearance on J Kimmel was an embarrassment, and Kimmel had to intervene to rescue him from rambling and losing his train of thought."

And purple ink on our thumbs.
This is so true!
In fact, it is probably the only reason our Revolutionary War was successful.
Just previous to the Revolutionary War, America went through a large-scale Revival driven by the preaching of preachers like George Whitefield.
Read up on what Benjamin Franklin had to say about the affects of his preaching.
Amen. None of the issues that occasion wailing and gnashing of teeth in these forums is the issue. Occasional victories are transitory. Nothing short of a heart transplant can save America.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.…
(Ezekiel 36:26-27)
This is so true. Remember during the Trump administration when Republicans had a majority of the House, the Senate, the Executive Branch and the Supreme Court?
So what. Democrats were still in charge.
Over the past year, I've seen a shift in our Pastor and our church leadership with them preaching in no uncertain terms that Christians must oppose, defeat and remove anti-Christians and anti-Christian laws/policies from government. Seeker-friendly has been replaced with preaching the TRUTH in love. This is encouraging and refreshing.
ok, so, once again, a whisper is printed ...America needs ‘revival’.
my question ....”What do you intend to do, with all the Ba’hai, Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhs, and others, who may be approached, smile, and say politely, ‘screw you!’
Remember, it is not only your 1st Amendmment right, but theirs, too. Murder, blasphemy trials, and ostracism won’t fly very far.
I have asked this question to some other folks before.
The author of the piece did so in all seriousness.
So do I.
(and for every respondent that replies with ‘he’s nuts’, or, some other retort questioning my sanity, some day, somebody might ask you how you answered my question, and unless you are a Calvinist ....)
What religion are you?
I believe that there will be revival in America. A big one.
I just happen to think it will come after the destruction of the current political system here.
Dude...
With every.report of bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts losing, we win..
These so called “ people” . only want to silence and imprison us...
Why???
Because we threaten their way of life..
My personal opinion...
They can take their money and go...
Or put their backs against the wall..
I don’t care either way...
Just go
Revival does not mean abrogation of the Establishment Clause.
And I am not fond of the never-Trumper author, JFTR.
Pride month? Maybe we need a “Christian Day”?
Not only those belief systems, but there are many Christians who hold eschatological views that differ from those presented here ad nauseum as if they were somehow “more right” simply because the poster believes they are.
It’s not by Might, nor by Power, but by His Spirit..
The Church may find itself like Sadducees and Pharisees in the end during a revival..
They may find themselves denying their own eyes if a rag tag sect starts to show the power of His Spirit by healings, miracles, prophecy..
“I believe many Christians who once bought the lie that politics and religion should be separate are waking up.”
For years the left pushed that so they could have politics as their exclusive domain. Pat Robertson’s campaign and political org was what started the reversal. He pulled a lot of people to get into politics at the lower levels.
Need to get rid of the homosexual Heretic Pope!
For many years, Hollywood produced “morality plays”, movies that depicted immorality and amorality as balanced against morality and virtue. But they never did a good job of it, for the simple reason that the people in Hollywood were themselves immoral, amoral, and spiritually corrupt.
Bring that idea forward to today. Most every major Christian denomination in America has been taken over by leftists who reject traditionalism, morality, and virtue in favor of trendy leftist ideas. In some cases this has resulted in major schisms, the conservatives and traditionalists no longer able to tolerate the corruption and perversity of the “liberal” wings of their churches.
The bottom line is that half or more of churches cannot be redeemed in “revival”, because they have volunteered to be destroyed or fade away. Their sacraments are not the Seven Heavenly Virtues or the Seven Capital Virtues; but are instead the Seven Deadly, or Cardinal Sins.
They have no real blessing, the grounds of their churches is no longer Holy, they no longer abide sacred ritual, just secular and atheist ritual. In many cases they effectively even renounce God.
