EXTREME MAKEOVER – – – REVIVAL EDITION

Real Revival does not just reform or refurbish or repaint.

Real Revival Renovates.

Renovation starts with identifying necessary changes and tearing out everything unfit for the extreme makeover.

Past Revivals—Great Awakenings—were marked by unmistakable, permanent changes in individual lives.

Churches were changed, not on the surface, not by temporary revivals, not by organizing and planning, but by moves of God and prayer.

Crime dropped dramatically in times of Great Awakenings.

In America today, what would extreme makeover – revival edition look like?  What would be the authentic verification of change?

REPENT OF SIN = RELEASE OF STUFF

When we see Christians and churches getting rid of their stashes of stuff and money saved for the uncertain future, then we will know true revival that renovates.

Nothing less will do much good.

AMERICA FORGIVES

Can you find any country in history or around the world today that has repeatedly defeated evil in other countries and then turned around and helped them rebuild, with nothing in return?

Can you find any country that has done that like the United States of America?

No.

America is unique in all human history.  America is exceptional in this area, profoundly and inexplicably.

But wait a minute.  It is explainable.  America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.  That makes this country, more than any other, ready to help any place on earth in trouble from disaster, if they allow us.  And when aggressors threaten us or our allies, we vigorously defeat them, and then just as vigorously help them after they surrender.

The world is certainly better off with American leadership.

AMERICA FORGIVES, INDEED.

Don’t lose it, America.

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH ?

A little more.

And then,

A little more.

 

Especially true in the government.

A little more government.

A little more taxes.

And then,

A little more.

And a little more slavery.

 

I would like to see America be the exception of history.
