We are on the verge of a revival that would make the First Great Awakening look like child's play.
i don't know anything about the "First Great Awakening", but I highly highly doubt we're on the verge of a revival.
You should read up on it, jmfcst. I'm not saying that to be snide or something, I genuinely think it would interest you a lot.
ok, just browsed the Wiki article. I’ve never been much interested in church history, aside from the letters of early church fathers such as Justin Martyr. Not sure why I’m like that, but I’m not even interested enough to parse through the reasons of my own lack of desire to know.
Guess it’s because I don’t find relevance in it for me. Even though I attended a Catholic church in my early years and went through communion, I didn’t come to Christ through a church, and I’ve been going to a inter-denominational church for the last 19 years. I don’t like church politics. Heck, I don’t even like work related politics – which is one of the reasons why I’m a contractor.
In fact, from the time my family stopped going regularly to church (probably when I was around 8 or 9), until the time I was saved in my apartment in Oct ’92, I probably went to church less than 10 times.
I don’t like to hear about “church”, per se. But I do like coming together as a body of believers to worship Christ and hear the word.
