How can you have a revival

True revival is of God, not of man.

The first great awakening was brought about by a squinty eyed Calvinist reading Sinners in the hands of an angry God in a squeaky monotone voice by candle light.

The second great awakening, which called for manipulating people through new excitements resulted in Mormonism and other cults and huge swathes of burnt over areas that have never recovered.

AMEN!
