3:26
guinness oz so great to see you tonight and have you with us tremendous
3:32
privilege to me rob thank you Osby had so many great plans for you this weekend Friday night and Saturday
3:39
and you were so gracious to be flexible enough to come to us from your home this
3:45
evening are your most welcome I have happy memories of many visits to Carl
3:50
Ridge I was just thinking I’d much prefer to be with you than stuck here in the rain
3:57
in mcclain there was one time I spoke at the prayer breakfast in Fort Lauderdale and your
4:04
Irish met the mayor kindly gave me freedom of the city which he told me was
4:11
a key to about 1 bar on your Beach and that was it I remember that I was in
4:17
attendance I think that was Mayor Jim Naugle I think at that prayer breakfast that’s great know somebody not to be
4:24
with you but what a privilege to be with you absolutely well I can’t think of a better speaker
4:30
to come to us via livestream to talk to us the core rich community and people
4:36
that are tuning in from all over the country tonight to discuss what it means to be an agent of the kingdom of God so
4:42
please take it away and we look forward to hearing from you tonight thank you well you said just a few remarks on the
4:49
pandemic so just a very very few because as I see it the pandemic struck at the
4:56
same time as lint and Passover and both are seasons in which either Jews or
5:04
Christians are challenged to self-examination and I think that’s one good thing that the pandemic has done on
5:11
all sorts of levels and we must really think through a lot of things so just some very quick remarks in that
5:17
connection first modernity the heart of
5:23
the modern world is control reason science technology mastery control
5:31
self-reliance and emic reminds us we are not in control and we need to go out of
5:39
this with far greater humility secondly all of our lives as individuals here we
5:46
are in the most comfortable wealthy prosperous country in the tie history
5:52
and we’re surrounded with what Pascal used to call diversions weapons of mass
5:58
destruction as the psychologists call them and I think the pandemic reminds us
6:03
life is short life is fragile life is vulnerable and
6:09
we got to live a short life wisely and well and think that through thirdly
6:16
globalization you can see in the pandemic a genuinely global Titanic
6:23
problem and many of the modern problems sex trafficking and things like that I like that so they’re gonna take much
6:30
greater prayer and effort for us as followers of Jesus to tackle these grand
6:36
global problems that’s the world we’re in and we need to
6:41
act locally but think globally and of course pray globally fourth point the
6:49
West you can see as many the ethical issues have been raised the West is
6:54
increasingly shown up as a cut flower civilization the West has cut its
7:01
biblical is Jewish and Christian roots we’re living off the whiff of an empty
7:07
bottle as is being said and we as follows that Jesus our gotta fight to
7:12
restore the roots of our Western culture things like truth words human dignity
7:19
freedom justice if these things don’t have roots we’re in a very dangerous
7:26
world Tesla maybe most importantly of all the church the scandal of the American
7:35
Church is that we are the one Church in the Western world where were a huge
7:41
majority of the country and yet we have less cultural influence than tiny groups
7:47
are far smaller than we take say our Jewish friends less than two percent of
7:53
America but they punch well above their weight and we have called to be salt and
7:58
light a culturally impotent and ineffective and we got to say why we
8:04
have been shaped far too much by the world and not by the gospel and this
8:10
should be time for a radical re-examination of the church in modern
8:16
America to come out of this praying to the Lord for an awakening revival
8:21
restoration that we may be the salt and light that he called us to be but enough
8:28
of those quick remarks about reflections in the light of the pandemic you could
8:34
talk for an hour on each of those but let me switch to the one I was going to address have I been with you in
8:40
person and that is the American crisis itself as here we are as followers in
8:47
Jesus at a very crucial pivotal moment for the American Republic
8:54
the climax of the Revolutionary War was Yorktown 1781 and if you know the story
9:02
legend has it that when the British troops were forced to come out to surrender they were ordered to play the
9:09
tune the world turned upside down now that tune went back to the English
9:16
revolution in the 1640s and it had Christian roots obviously the deepest
9:24
route was act 17 and you think how God
9:29
creates order humans create disorder through sin and so as the gospel comes
9:36
and we become partners with the Lord we work to be subversive to turn the world
9:42
upside down which is turning it the right way up and that was the idea in
9:47
the English revolution and of course the English revolution was the first of five
9:53
great revolutions the English 1642 the French 1789 the Russian 1917 the Chinese
10:06
1949 and of course I’ve missed out big one the American 1776 No why does that
10:15
matter well if you look at those five revolutions the first two are very
10:20
similar the English and the revolution and the American the only difference was
10:26
the English revolution failed and the American Revolution succeeded but what
10:33
United them was that they were both the child of the reformation and truths from
10:41
the Bible rediscovered through the Reformation for example conscience and
10:47
covenant and calling were critical to the American Revolution which succeeded
10:53
now when we go to the French and the Russian and the Chinese they were
10:59
against religion anti-christian and diametrically opposed to everything that
11:05
was biblical so they’re quite different now why does that matter I said just to
11:10
sort little historical nonsense that is the key to the present American crisis
11:17
why America today is as deeply divided as at any moment since just before the
11:25
Civil War but why some people say it’s the president now he’s the consequence
11:33
of the division not the cause some people say it’s the social media and I think they’re the reinforcements of the
11:39
division not the route others say it’s the Coastal’s California in New York
11:45
against the hot Landers that’s partly true some people say it’s the
11:51
Nationalists and populist over against the globalists in a borderless world and
11:56
all that that has something enjoyed too but actually the deepest division is
12:01
this and it’s very important for the gospel the difference between those who
12:06
understand America and freedom from the perspective of 1776 and the American
12:13
Revolution and those who understand America and freedom from the perspective
12:18
of 1789 and the French Revolution because if you take ideas like
12:24
post-modernism multiculturalism social constructionism the sexual revolution
12:31
political correctness all those ideas which are flowing through America in the
12:37
last 50 years they all go back to the heirs of the French Revolution and they
12:44
have nothing to do with any ideas that come from either the Bible or the
12:49
American Revolution now why are we facing those now well if you take the
12:56
French Revolution it only lasted in France 10 years 1789 to 1799 and then in
13:05
came Napoleon the revolution he said is over so we’re not talking about France
13:11
today but the idea is Liberty Liberty the none
13:17
of the things that have flowed from the French Revolution did much for liberty fraternity Brotherhood in the 19th
13:25
century that created what was called revolutionary nationalism the
13:30
unification of Italy Greece and even the rise of secular Zionism behind Petzl and
13:37
the creation of the State of Israel in the 20th century because I think it’s
13:44
like Marx in the 19th century the French Revolution flowered in revolutionary socialism in other words egg le Tay and
13:53
that’s been the problem for the last century both in the Russian Revolution and in the Chinese Revolution but here’s
13:59
the point in our time we are faced with what’s called cultural Marxism or
14:07
neo-marxist more the technical term is critical theory how did that happen well
14:13
actually a thinker called gremsky Antonio Gramsci sat in jail in the 1920s
14:18
under Mussolini figuring out why Marxism didn’t work as Marx thought he said you
14:25
don’t need a proletarian revolution you’ve got a win the gatekeepers people
14:31
in charge of the cultural ideas now these ideas of his flowed down in the
14:36
60s in California people at Herbert Marcuse oh my first visit to this
14:43
country was 1968 anyone old enough to
14:48
remember 1968 the older members of your congregation you remember Martin Luther
14:54
King assassinated Bobby Kennedy assassinated 100 American cities were
15:01
ablaze but here’s the point the radicals realize that through civil
15:08
war on the streets they wouldn’t win it didn’t bring the government down
15:13
anywhere in the West so they called for what was a long march through the
15:20
institution’s 50 years ago 1967 and 68 in other words when the colleges and
15:26
universities when the press and media win the world of entertainment and
15:32
Hollywood and then you win America fifty years later they’ve done it and those ideas I
15:40
mentioned like political correctness and so on they’re rampant in the American colleges and universities in many many areas and
15:47
you can see that’s what’s at stake today now the great difference between the
15:56
1850s and today in the 1850s the arguments of course were over slavery
16:02
there was an Abraham Lincoln and he addressed what he called the better
16:08
angels of the American character and he called America back to the Declaration
16:14
of Independence and so on the better angels nobody literally nobody that I
16:21
know at the highest levels are speaking about the better angels today so you
16:26
have the forces that have flowed down from Paris in 1789 are very very
16:32
powerful in America and obviously totally against the Christian Church and there’s no one at the highest level
16:39
arguing for the better angels including an understanding of the American Revolution and above all of its roots
16:46
now of course if you look at what came from France and what came in the
16:53
American Revolution you have some fundamental differences they’re incredibly important for us as followers
17:01
of Jesus standing for the gospel in the church let me just mention a few of them
17:07
quickly first you have two different sources the source of the American
17:15
Revolution was the Bible it was the Reformation Sola scriptura the invention
17:23
of the printing press which meant the rediscovery of the Bible launched biblical ideas which shape the 17th
17:30
century which historians call the biblical century the Hebrew Republic in
17:36
the book of Exodus and so on so the sources are different the source of the
17:41
French Revolution was the French enlightenment Voltaire jean-jacques
17:47
Rousseau an absolute hatred of religion and the
17:52
Christian faith and the church that’s important to understand you know as Deidre rod said back then we will never
18:00
be free until we strangle the last king with the guts of the last priest and you
18:06
can see that anti religious element open hostility in the Russian Revolution in
18:11
the Chinese Revolution in the progressive left today for example if you read the sexual revolution back in
18:19
the 20s so helm Reich the architect of that he says quite openly they will never win until they prevail over two
18:28
enemies one parents got a knock out parents in families through sex
18:34
education at three and four and two the Christian Church so we got to see the
18:41
sources are absolutely different then secondly the understanding of humanity
18:48
is profoundly different the American Revolution coming from the Scriptures is
18:54
realistic checks and balances separation of powers actually have separation of
19:00
powers in the Old Testament but the point is it comes from the notion of sin as Madison says being taught by John
19:07
Witherspoon great presbyterian you have to have ambition to counteract ambition because we’re sinners checks and
19:14
balances separation of powers the French Revolution the Russian Revolution the Chinese Revolution utopian the worst
19:23
evils in history are done by utopians they think humans are perfect you’ve got
19:29
bad political structures change them a bit in all would be well they don’t have a realistic view of sin always you have
19:36
a gap between the ideal and the real you fill the gap obviously by force violence
19:42
and so the utopian revolutions had been murderers in their consequences because
19:49
of their lack of realism about in the nature one could go on to things like
19:56
the Constitution many Americans don’t realize that the Amer a notion of Constitution is a national
20:05
somewhat secular version of the Old Testament covenant that’s where it came
20:11
from Calvin’s bingley bullying her Knox Cromwell the Mayflower Compact John
20:19
Winthrop and so on covenant ilysm um one can go a lot deeper in terms of that came across from
20:26
the Reformation and became in the 18th century evident in other words the
20:32
Constitution is never your in-law a contract a covenant is deeper and
20:39
depends on things like freedom and trust and trustworthiness and all sorts of
20:45
things that you see in the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy so you have huge
20:50
differences over that it’s not just a matter of law now when you go down the
20:55
line and bring up all sorts that I mentioned one more addressing wrongs in
21:02
this case both revolutions understand there are wrongs in Justice’s great
21:09
offices but how do you address them well in the French way through what’s called
21:15
critical theory you look at power equations whose the majority who’s the
21:20
minority who’s got the power who’s winning who’s the victim who’s the oppressor and then you shape your
21:26
politics based only on power after all there’s no truth there’s no truth there
21:32
is only power and as Nietzsche says when God is dead truth is dead all you have
21:38
left is power and so the progressive left has through critical theory this
21:46
idea of always looking for the victim or victimized them Dow and using the victimized people as pawns to push that
21:54
political game and when you look at something like say the Cavanaugh hearing you can see a raw naked expression of
22:03
power and that’s incredibly dangerous because it’s dehumanizing and it really
22:09
will undermine justice in the long hand now while those are Jesus
22:15
we care about wrongs too but we have a way of addressing them as real wrongs
22:21
before the Lord and then we call for repentance a genuine turning around
22:28
there is forgiveness and there is reconciliation and you move towards the
22:34
place where you have a future that is free from the past now if we go on the
22:40
way we’re doing in America today the cycle of wrong and retaliation and
22:45
revenge and reparation this will never end and the Republic itself will be
22:52
undermined but we’ve got to go as people who love the gospel because the gospel
22:58
brings peace in a deeper far more radical way and in some ways that
23:04
difference over how we address wrongs is the deepest difference of all and very
23:10
close to the heart of the gospel so what does this mean I’m not political and I’m
23:17
English not American I admire this country enormous ly but America is at a
23:26
crucial turning point today if certain forces go one way America will turn her
23:35
back forever on the biblical roots of the American Revolution with disastrous
23:41
prospects for freedom and justice and human dignity and various things in the
23:46
future so we’re an extraordinary important moment in in this decade I
23:52
couldn’t put it too strongly behind me on my study if we’re looking the other way
23:57
I’ve got twenty or thirty my favorite writers and autographs among them I’ve
24:03
got WB Yeats the Irish poet who in 1917 wrote the famous poem the second coming
24:09
remember the line what rough beast is slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
24:16
there are ideas at birth in this country at the moment which are disastrous
24:22
remember the old line that the worst is the corruption of the best
24:27
how could the best educated most civilized culture in Europe produce
24:34
National Socialism and the death camps that was Germany Reformation Germany and
24:40
I would say Americans cannot rest in their role and think that all will be
24:46
well Erica always models from the end and so on no there are there are factors at
24:52
work in this country which could produce the most profound evil in some ways
24:58
maybe the world has seen one of the other people behind me on the wall is Alexander Solzhenitsyn
25:04
and you remember these great speeches in the seventies and say don’t you Americans realize you’re gambling you’re
25:13
civilization and that’s right the roots of the American Republic are
25:19
being torn up and unless we stand now it may be too late
25:25
as I said the challenge and scandal of the church is the way the biggest community here and yet wonderful groups
25:34
like our Jewish friends and groups we disagree profoundly ways like say the LGBT community each of them say 2% of
25:43
America and yet they have far more influence than we were a huge majority
25:48
and yet we’re called the result on light so this very year is a critical year and
25:56
I know Carl Ridge has always been in the forefront of stressing the importance of
26:01
the kingdom and standing for the lordship of Christ over the whole of life and if ever there was a moment this
26:10
is critical it’s now thank you rob thank
26:18
you oz I truly appreciate that I love your perspective this evening one of the
26:24
things we’ve been talking about a core Ridge particularly during that this Kovan 19 situation is that there’s there
26:32
really is as you said tonight a deeper crisis in our in our country there’s a deeper crisis a deeper and a greater
26:40
pandemic that we need to pray that we can be rescued from but we’ve also been praying
26:45
that during this season that the people of God would be more reflective they would really begin to rethink their
26:52
priorities and their values and that through this the people of God would be
26:57
the ones who repent and turn away and really are responsible for leading a
27:03
revival maybe unlike this generation has ever seen I have a few questions I would like
27:09
to ask you just as follow-up to your talk tonight these have been questions submitted by
27:16
leaders ministry leaders in our region and I think they’ll follow up nicely
27:21
with your exhortation tonight for us to really think about what matters the most
27:28
as the people of God but the first question is this many in our society
27:35
today say that in order for our society to flourish we need to focus less on the
27:42
absolute exclusive truth claims of Christianity and instead focus on the
27:48
things that we all have in common what would you say to critics like that it’s
27:54
a half truth in other words there are times when all the ways share in common
27:59
with everyone humanity is the thing that we start with for example in the
28:05
pandemic it’s not the place to be arguing apologetically people need love
28:10
and care and compassion but at times when we’re talking about say some of the
28:17
big issues the truth claims of the gospel incredibly important you just start with truth Jews and Christians
28:25
people of the Scriptures we have a high view truth which America doesn’t have
28:31
you have on the one hand relativism your truth my truth is truth or truth and you have the emotivism what feels good is
28:38
good what feels bad is bad those things are nonsense we believe in truth and that’s only one of 10 things
28:45
we need to say takes a human dignity or freedom itself America’s the land of the
28:50
free we’re now seeing outside the Bible there is no grounding for freedom and so
28:59
the exclusiveness of Christian and Jewish truth claims because we’re one on those sort of things I absolutely
29:06
crucial so you got to know what’s appropriate when if it’s the love and compassion of reaching out to people are
29:12
sick or hungry or whatever of course is a commonality and we are all people know
29:19
why we love our neighbors as ourselves but there’s equally a very very important apologetic battle today
29:25
because there are crazy there are muddled there are evil ideas
29:30
around and we’ve got to combat them in the name of truth oh that’s good now you
29:38
you alluded to it in your talk this evening you talked about the foundations of religious freedom can you unpack that
29:46
a little more the question that came in specifically was what role does religious freedom play in a flourishing
29:54
society now we’ve got to be clear religious freedom for us is secondary
30:00
our love and faithfulness to Christ is primary and we will die for that
30:07
religious freedom is secondary very very important it’s the freedom to be faithful so it’s very very important and
30:15
it may be denied us and we will still be faithful even if we’re not allowed the freedom to be faithful just as martyrs
30:22
down the centuries have died for our Lord but let’s think of freedom our religious freedom the trouble is we have
30:29
an ambivalent record as Christians we are first the pioneers the first
30:34
reference you could trace it back to Exodus but the words not used there but
30:39
the first reference is to Italian the second century the second intriguingly
30:45
is lactantius who was the tutor to the son of the Emperor Constantine so
30:52
Christians are at the forefront of pioneering religious freedom but then we
30:58
got to say with sorrow but the church was the perpetrator of the worst evils against religious freedom in history
31:05
take the Inquisition or the pogroms or the notion that error has no rights horrendous things
31:14
thank God the Catholic Church has now renounced those things and confessed
31:20
them before the Lord and the world but we were perpetrators of the worst then
31:25
of course the Reformation Martin Luther Martin Luther had a pretty bad record diatribes against the Jews and so on but
31:33
it was Thomas Howells Roger Williams John Leland and people like that who are the pioneers of modern
31:40
religious freedom and the rise of human rights and freedom of conscience so
31:45
we’ve got a mixed record but we heard evangelicals and most of the Protestant community we have a much much stronger
31:53
record than most so we’re in the forefront of this now if we look
31:58
globally there never will be peaceful just Breeze societies without freedom of
32:06
conscience it’s the first Liberty it’s the key to civil society and it’s the
32:13
key to national harmony the tragedy is that after 300 years of America having
32:20
the greatest record in history on religious freedom in the last 20 years
32:26
there’s been a sea change I call it the three Dark Arts
32:31
you’ve got the reducers who reduced religious freedom to freedom of worship
32:39
no no it’s far more than freedom of worship then you have the removers who
32:45
after 9/11 wanted to remove that messy business of religion from public life because it was dangerous but the worst
32:51
of the three is the last one the rebrand is we’re now saying that religious
32:57
freedom is a code word for bigotry and discrimination and therefore we should
33:02
get rid of it so we’ve seen this terrible sea change so we have to be apologists for saying
33:10
why religious freedom is so crucial it’s the freedom to be faithful but as I said its secondary the faithfulness itself
33:20
when you think of the North American church today what concerns you the most
33:27
well I say you know the scandal is its weakness now why is that as I understand
33:37
it and I’ve written several books on this like impossible people expressly on
33:42
that we’ve probably caved into ideas I mentioned relativism well you could take
33:49
the sexual revolution evangelicals never caved into Protestant liberal revisionism thank God
33:56
Protestantism in its liberal form undermined itself through revisionism
34:01
evangelicals stood firm but with the coming of the sexual revolution we’ve caved in all over the place so
34:10
partly we’ve caved into alien worldly ideas but as you know Rob my argument is
34:17
long beam it’s not just ideas we’ve caved into the structural shaping of our
34:22
modern world and that’s someone different and so to take one example heaven Jellicle says when I was a
34:29
student when I came to faith fifty years ago evangelicals were people of
34:35
authority the Bible was our authority we were under Authority Jesus was Lord look
34:43
at have angelica’s and today people can believe any whatever somewhere we’ve got
34:50
very soft on authority why our culture shifts us from authority to preference
34:56
through consumerism everything’s a matter of what you choose your preference and so on and not only
35:02
cereals not only relationships and cars and things like that but now churches
35:09
like the music go down some ones are too long too short to this to that we shop
35:16
around as we do so everything becomes a matter of my preference church of my
35:23
choice and so on authority is gone so American evangelicalism has a profound
35:30
crisis of authority which is the child are being shaped by American
35:36
culture by the world and not by the word now that’s just one example we could
35:42
look at and others we need Reformation profoundly amen to that as a follow-up
35:51
to that question on the flip side what gives you as you look at the landscape
35:57
of the church here in North America what gives you hope well I often put it people say I you a
36:04
optimist or a pessimist and I doubt that one because often a matter of psychology is the glass half full or empty or
36:11
matter of Li the market is it alittle bearish and I think as Christians we
36:16
should be realistic but always hopeful and so what I often say is that and my
36:23
background is partly in sociology many of the generalizations are negative
36:30
look at this look at that you can see all sorts of rather sorry pessimistic
36:37
generalizations of the shape of the church but it’s the exceptions that are
36:43
wonderfully hopeful note was the islands of difference and that’s what we need to
36:49
be concentrating on so just take two examples and one of the great movements in the last 25 years is say the
36:56
international justice mission which grew from the heart of our local church in Washington Falls Church Anglican or you
37:04
take another thing I mean the growing passion for prayer which is a wonderful
37:11
thing so I look at all the exceptions which are terrific and say we’ve got to
37:16
strengthen these exceptions to really gain a passion for justice typically
37:21
understood for prayer not just personal prayer but intercessory prayer dealing
37:28
with nations and empires and so on but there are wonderfully encouraging things
37:33
happening today and of course the crisis is so deep it’s forcing us to see things
37:39
like this but we can’t just you know I read books about the coming awakening
37:44
crisis itself bring and awakening only if the People
37:50
of God in the crisis turned to the Lord with a new urgency and seriousness that
37:56
we may see under the mercy of the Lord and awakening repentance leads to
38:03
revival let me switch gears briefly here before we wrap up as you’ve written and
38:10
spoken for years about Christians finding their purpose the calling of the
38:16
Christian one of the things we talk about here at Coleridge is being equipped to go out and be a gospel
38:23
centered culture shaping Christian what encouragement do you have for any Christian whether it be here at Coral
38:29
Ridge or the Christian that’s listening what encouragement would you have for them to go out it particularly in this
38:36
post Christian world and go out and make a difference by being different but but
38:41
going out to shape the culture in which they find themselves in what encouragement do you have for them what
38:48
will you say post Christian Rob I understand you a lot of people take that in the direction of the Benedict option
38:54
in other words they say we’ve reached the point of no return it’s post Christian and nothing can be
39:00
done we’ve got to concentrate in our own deliberate Christian communities and I’m not sure that’s right and one of the
39:07
biblical truths which is against that is the notion of calling now calling is the
39:14
truth that is the most personal and the most public because we call to engage
39:19
with all the lives in which our jobs and worked take us and calling of course
39:25
from Abraham right through to our Lord it’s at the heart of God’s calling at
39:31
his people in history so I think myself the calling is second only to the cross
39:37
in being a truth which when rediscovered has an incredible power early powerful
39:45
shaping impact on society and you can see the Reformation rediscovered calling
39:52
in other words instead of the Catholic notion where vocation was pretty good no
39:59
the Reformation the lordship of Christ it was everyone everywhere in everything and the salton light was everywhere and
40:07
that’s what’s created the northern European Reformation reading capitalism and hundred other things so I don’t
40:14
think it’s all over so yes but you are thinking is
40:20
post-christian our public square is increasingly against us but only because we’ve opted out and there’s no need to
40:28
run for the hills and build the monasteries yet the Reformation but its
40:34
emphasis on the lordship of Christ over everything through calling as I wrote my
40:40
book the call I found my most popular book and that made the difference rather
40:46
than the monastery so st. Benedict ins and Francis and the rest of them known
40:51
as the Reformation was a return to the scripture and a reversal of the
40:57
monkeying of the world amen I love your
41:03
hopeful optimism Oz last question and this can be a short answer but from what
41:10
I hear you saying tonight is revival still possible in the West of course of
41:18
course but we’ve been discussing that here in Washington a lot recently I grew
41:26
up in China as you know and in those missionary circles there were many
41:31
revivals but I grew up later in the West I only know one place and it’s instantly
41:40
connected with Donald Trump’s mother I only know one place where there was a
41:46
community-wide revival in the sense of the Welsh revival of the Irish revival
41:52
or the great revival of the 1739 and so on in England in America and that was in
41:57
the island of Lewis and since then we’ve got to be honest revival has been in
42:03
local churches or in certain colleges like Wheaton it’s never been much wider
42:09
now I haven’t noticed what the media would do if there was a nationwide revival today but we’ve got to trust the
42:18
Lord that he is sovereign and bigger than modernity and the revival even
42:25
under the conditions of modernity would not be impossible but I’m totally
42:31
against those who say we’ve had the first from the second awakening we’re now on the verge of the third one I’m
42:36
reading a lot of stuff currently as if it’s the crisis produced the resurgence
42:42
of faith and revival no no revival is not what the Baptist’s call their
42:48
week-long mission no no revival is an outpouring of a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit convicting of sin and
42:57
convincing of truth and we have not seen that in a powerful way
43:02
in the last century in the heart so can it happen absolutely am i praying for it
43:09
daily with others daily but is it automatic no it’s a sovereign work of a
43:16
gracious us thank you so much for all of
43:22
your perspective tonight one of the things as I mentioned earlier that during this season during this current
43:28
crisis the people of God would gain perspective on what they value and what
43:33
they hold dear and you have just continued to help us in that thinking
43:39
and in this conversation and in this season giving us great perspective as the people of God I just want to remind
43:46
