@lukegeraty@Vagabonder77 Revival and the Spirit is something to be received as the Father chooses. Not something we can control or manipulate…and that’s okay.
@lukegeraty@Vagabonder77 Everything Luke said but I’ll add that “Revival Culture” takes revival and the work of Holy Spirit and systematizes it into a product that can be marketed and controlled, often at the expense of formation, accountability, and embodied community.
@BethMooreLPM The author’s journey through the idea of divine retribution is fascinating and formative. The idea that God would give us such a book to process this idea is amazing. Solidarity in our questioning and grief.
@Goatmuse77@dreknowball@Real40vol@kent_swanson Sure, let’s compare Lemon to a top 5 receiver in this league. Bailey and Faulk have dominant traits. Your opinion on Lemon is just as much a mystery as mine on Bailey or Faulk. They just play a premium position and have traits we never get to draft at the back of round 1

@PaulAnleitner@adamleerussell decline. But I think there's several things here that we areobserving and - I would argue - coming to the wrong conclusions about based on some limitations in our ethnography/definitions
@PaulAnleitner@adamleerussell Paul, I am curious. Would you separate "post-modernism" from the decline of church as two separate things? I do think there is a spiritual openness to Post-religious culture that is not true of the new atheism that I think evangelicals have largely assumed is behind church…
