In fact, having spent the last two decades studying our culture, the American people and Christian churches across the nation, I believe that within the next few years America will experience one of two outcomes that will dictate the course of events and the tenor of life for at least the next half century. One of those possible outcomes is massive spiritual revival. People are desperately seeking meaning and purpose in life. They have tried materialism, sexual promiscuity, careerism, drugs, pop psychology and hyper-leisure, but none of these pursuits have filled their inner void. Now, millions are exploring spirituality to see if perhaps the faith realm holds the key to satisfying their needs.
Nobody knows for sure.
Millions of desperate people would turn to Christ, rely on the local church to guide their growth, and be spiritually crippled as a result. Md. There is less gossip and fewer complaints, and more people are trusting God to meet their needs at the Parkview retirement center. Four Christians pray every day in front of each apartment. A Texas church grew from 34 members to 800 in three years. Amarillo South Church of Christ meets in a gymnasium, encourages casual dress, and conducts a contemporary a capella praise service on Sundays.
