And, I want to read this, too. Thanks for sharing!
is that Biblical? ::: grin :::
Hi Jonathan!
You look really familiar so I know I had met you before.
He tracked and traced revivals throughout the past couple hundred years, and it seems he would be onboard with this generational/ 100 year theme. Some good listens on this site (he died in the 1980's). My favorite is about the WELSH revival, especially it's beginning.
I know, I know, it's a LITTLE off topic, but since it jumped into my mind, I thought I should share!
Blessings!

My paternal lineage is from Wales.

One thing I have a sense of is that the next 4-8 years for the United States will make the nation or break the nation and with what the book writes about.... and you broke it down to a very understandable equation.... sorta.....
Boomers--wise vision casters.... working with
GenX-ers-- Pragmatic Problem Solvers... working with
Millennial--Brave Implenters
I also think that the mindset of people within the church need to change...
ie... Layministers Vs. Ministers (Paid position)..
I think for way too long the church has caused this seperation between the ordinary person and the Pastor in leadership who's paid to be in his position.
As a result the majority of the congregation has allowed for apathy to rise up within them and then blame the Pastor for when things go wrong.
But if the members within the congregation know and appreciate that they are as valuable as the Pastor and that the Pastor is simply a man who's like everyone else and apart of the body of Christ like everyone else then perhaps the body of Christ would function better.
I'm very excited about Obama becoming President.
People tend to think that the Republican's are "the face of Christianity" because they stand for in part biblical moral standards. I say in part because I find the Republican's compromise in faith and values as much as the Democrat's do as well.
The Democratic party stands for social justice
The Republican's for the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.... Righteousness.
Yet the bible is very clear that it's both! Righteousness & Justice.
I have yet to see a political party that does not compromise with one or the other! This frustrates me to know end.
But in a time where there is such economic termoil the question is... do we really want a political party that is all about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. ?
McCain was all about him saying he's not another Bush Administration and he was all about attacking the Democratic... and yet I've seen from Obama a much stronger Christian Character even though he compromises with issues with abortion and same-sex marriage.
I personally believe that Obama not only represents the change that's needed for not only the US but also for the world, especially within the church.
The day I see a Political Party that embraces the total balance of Christian morals and values...
Righteousness & Justice
Is the day I'll party and make my allegiance sort a speak.... but until then... we have what we have and I continue to pray for the US & Canada to see true change happen and I really believe I'll see that in my day.
