A Revival?

In light of the recent Charlie Kirk Llamapalooza there are any number of people chortling that we are either in a revival or are on the cusp of revival. I however, do not agree in the slightest. I mean, I wish that were true – it would be a decades long prayer answered if it was true, but it’s just not true.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I have no doubt that there are folks genuinely being confronted with the claims of Jesus Christ and for that I rejoice. However, revival or Reformation or renewal, or whatever one might want to call it is clearly not in the cards.

How do I know this? How can I say this? I can say this by looking at some leading indicators which would communicate and signify that we are in the midst of Reformation.

A few key signs of Reformation really occurring;
 
1.) Existing conservative Churches are emptied out. Since the bureaucracy of the Institutional Church will never allow Reformation one sign of Reformation occurring is the disappearance of the modern putatively conservative Reformed, and Lutheran denominations.
 
2.) Larger numbers of people pull their children out of Government schools. Reformation means that people are done with false religions (see #1 above) and the largest false religion in these united States are the Government schools which serve to indoctrinate and catechize America’s children into a anti-Christ way of thinking. 
 
3.) People quit voting for the uni-party. Reformation would mean that converts quickly learn that the Republicans and Democrats are a uni-party that only intend to give lip service (if even that) to Christianity.

4.) Large numbers of people would quit sending their children to the current Universities and Colleges … especially the Christian colleges. These are places where people go to lose their faith or to have their faith reinterpreted through an alien grid.

5.) Divorce rates would plummet. Families would be strengthened. The Christian faith and worldview would be passed down from generation to generation.

6.) The end of seeing putatively Christian Magistrates going to the Bagel wailing wall in order to be caught on camera “praying.”

7.) The end of the Welfare-Warfare state — the end of the “Invite the world, Invade the world” policy. Soon following the Kirk Llamapalooza Trump announced that he was going to sell the Bagel’s six Billion dollars of war ordnance. Further Trump announced that he thought the Ukraine would win the current war and he has committed sending arms to NATO so that NATO can send arms to the Ukraine. Also, the numbers that the Trump administration are touting in relation to their “success” on repatriating illegals are completely bogus.

I could go on and on but the point here is that the Kirk Llamapalooza event is no indicator that we are experiencing “revival.” What it does prove we are experiencing is the proverb that “there is a sucker born every minute.”

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

One thought on “A Revival?”

  1. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
    6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

    We are in no condition to be visited by the Lord.
