Revival
Eve of Destruction?
Baby boomers in particular remember the Barry McGuire tune “Eve of Destruction” which became a theme song of the 1960s and early ’70s. It referenced the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations, the hippie movement against faith-based morality, and the danger of nuclear weapons.
The world wasn’t destroyed two generations ago, but Western civilization arguably began its descent into moral and social disintegration.
Destructive forces have been unleashed this week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago mirroring the mayhem of 1968. There’s upheaval in the streets and very seductive messaging inside the United Center.
Is the Democratic Party trying to bring back an eve of destruction?
Following God Through Tennessee
If you take a road trip vacation this month, you might want to visit Tennessee (though it will be hot). God is on the move there and wants to multiply his work into every county of the nation.
Legislators in the “Volunteer State” have called for a month of fasting and prayer during July. Here’s the exciting story from Dutch Sheets of “Give Him 15.”
See What God is Doing and Join In
I recently attended a local pastors meeting to share a burden on my heart. I wanted the leaders to be inspired by God’s current work in our nation/world and get involved.
I specifically encouraged them to promote the Baptism Revival in our area. A “Summer of Baptisms” is exploding throughout the USA in answer to prayer. So far, the largest expression (possibly in history) took place a month ago in Southern California when 14,000 people gave their lives to Jesus and were baptized in the ocean.
The water’s too cold in the Northwest for that, but I told the pastors that lakes, pools, and hot tubs would work fine.
I wanted them to experience the current move of God’s Spirit.
