That was our golden opportunity and for the most part we missed it. I believe we are on the edge of that again. That same dissatisfaction. Certainly, it is God working. Perhaps it is indicative of younger generations in general, but Gen-Xers seem to be much more prone to admitting that they are carrying a tremendous load of emotional pain and disillusionment.
Wounds are very deep and healing is necessary.
Revival alone doesn t bring that, and preaching holiness alone doesn t bring that. Cultivating intimacy with God and knowing the heart of the Father both earthly and heavenly must be recovered, otherwise they will be tough soldiers, but they won t be whole. Jesus did not come to establish religion. Take away Sunday morning and all the things we are accustomed to and ask yourself what does it mean to be a follower of Jesus in this society . Recover things to the extent that following Jesus could cost you everything because you are at ultimate conflict with the spirit of the age.
