Weblogs: The next Great Awakening?

Daddypundit: "The September/October issue of Rare Jewel Magazine features a number of stories on the Next Great Awakening. In other words, are we poised for another widespread revival in this country as we have seen in the past?

To get a better understanding of where we are as a country and where we are headed, it's helpful first to look at where we have been so far. Through the articles contained in this isue, they do a good job of laying the historical foundation of previous revivals and showing what factors were involved so that we can get a better sense of whether such a revival can occur again and what our role as individual believers might be in such a revival."

(I've often pondered when such a thing might happen again -- Lord knows we need it! Perhaps in the wake of the great Billy Graham, new persons will be anointed to speak out for America to find renewed faith in God. It seems likely that we will have to suffer more, however, until proud hearts are broken and hard soil will crumble to accept the waters of his grace. Please note that I am all for deeper faith through a personal relationship with God, which universally shows itself by humility, but I will always fight willful ignorance and religious pseudopiety manipulated for political gain, which have as their motives sloth, pride, and greed.)
