The Hope of Revival

It really is revival or we die. The good news is revival is a very real hope stage for the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown friends want to encourage you today want to stir your hearts today want to help you pursue God more earnestly and for those who are tuning in, who do not have a personal relationship with God.

Don't know exactly where you stand in terms of Christian faith or the Bible maybe on hard to be stirred.

Maybe you'll recognize something in your own life where you know you need more there something missing, something not right you recognize that the help is not inside of you. It's outside of yourself. Listen as well. I believe you will be minister to you be helped. 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 87884 OSB broadcaster and a lot of fire have been sobering. We have talked about the reality of the situation here in America and it is a dire situation on many fronts and please understand this is not chicken Little St. skies following the skies. Following this is someone sober and clearheaded saying where mass and and you don't need to to have spiritual insight to recognize that were in a mess again. There is no guarantee that America will always thrive that America will always be a superpower. I believe with God's help, it's very possible that that we could be on the verge of a massive awakening they could transform the nation in many positive ways.

I also know we could be on the verge of a massive collapse so that the country that we know is is one that is no more. And I mean the country. We know in its best qualities, so that brings me back to something that's been a perennial seem of a lifelong theme in the Lord, namely revival, renewal, awakening. I didn't know that was a major theme in my life is that it know what revival was is a new follower of Jesus coming to faith and in what's known as the Jesus people movement of the Jesus revolution, which began in rev 67 in San Francisco events literally spread across the world and maybe reached its height nearly 70 that's right came to faith as a heroin shooting LSD using hippie rock drummer and and I didn't know that around America around the world that people just like me were coming to faith in radical dramatic ways.

If it's at. So I came to faith that so that was normal was only as years went by that I realize what a phenomenon it was in then somewhere in the late 70s I saw a video about revival. James had been, or doing a lecture about revival is one of these things you just remembers very, very methodical and methodical's presentation and ET's scholar. These, in his bright red jacket as I remember he just talked about revival in Wales talked about revival here in revival the Aaron and the stories were absolutely stirring in our church that there was part of, even though it was, not charismatic or was not like a heavily praying church or we were sturdy to pray and and and that's when something began to ignited me more deeply about the hope of revival about how revival in the church can spread into awakening in society how critical it is and it's one of these things that you could say every so often.

America has a serious heart attack and and is on the verge of death, and in a spiritual awakening comes in turns us back in the right path delete crash again week we descend again and it's not a matter of try to make the whole nation called Christian.

It's never been the case with us. We understand that it's it's a matter of the Holy Spirit moving in such a way that the tide is turned to hear what I'm saying that that something happens. It's different in revival in its essence is a season of unusual divine visitation God coming in the midst of his people with great power and conviction, and transformation and and believers are renewed and backsliders come back in the lost or saved and then it raises a certain spiritual consciousness, and that along with the conversion of sinners has an impact on the national level can have an impact on the local level I know is as a leader that served in the browser revival from 96 to 2000 begin a 95 at a service leader 96 to 2000.

I can tell you first hand that the potential that the impact what happens. How overnight things that just couldn't be changed are suddenly changed that that problems in situation. It seems so stubborn and immovable. Just bone something happens with the intensity of God moving in.

We have to have it begin with the church. I tweeted this couple days ago and it got got a lot of response in a in our twitter feed us of this bottom line either. America turns to God or America collapses that turning begins with the church of America turning to God. And I mean really, truly, deeply turning in prayer and repentance and surrender and obedience. If that doesn't happen were toast.

I got an overwhelmingly positive Aman response.

People feeling the same thing people getting struck the same way.

People coming to the same conclusion and look if you say to me heard morning so my life will just ask yourself the question is, is American worse shape now than it was the moral condition the spiritual condition. The condition of much of the church or just the national scene are we in better shape now we are in better shape before we boarded more than 60 million babies were we in better shape before the sexual revolution we in better shape before the disintegration of of the family. We had better shape before there was so much vulgarity and pornography and trash saturating that the airwaves and we are in better shape now or or before 12-year-old kids were was texting each other and notice that there's a reason we been sounding the alarm and and the bad news is many keep on sleeping.

The good news is, many recognize when you God we need God we need help. One of the authors whose books really straight male revival years ago was Charles Finney and Charles Finney lived. Let's see, 1792. The 1875 I believe and he was one of the great revivalists and evangelists of the 19th century.

Now I've had people challenges theology and call him a heretic. I have always been deeply stirred by Finney. I understand where people took exception to the way he said certain things, but for sure he absolutely believed in the necessity of God helping and God working in God moving you just emphasize human responsibility as well.

He reacted against those adjustable gobble dude. He's going to do it all after evangelizing up to pray for revival, causing the do is going to do and he said no. We must participate we must do our part but everything was about the glory of God necessity of God. The turning from sin and the looking to Jesus and I want to share a few things that Finney wrote these are actually sermons. He preach that were then taken down in longhand and edited is this whole fascinating history to that. So I want to share with you some things that Finney wrote it and he describes what real revival is, and any he says this and this is in his lectures on the revival of religion .2 what revival is. He said it is the renewal of the first love of Christians resulting in the awakening and conversion of sinners to God in the popular sense revival of religion in the community is the arousing quickening and reclaiming of the more or less backslidden church in the more or less general awakening of all classes and ensuring attention to the claims God faces this, it presupposes that the church is sunk down in a backslidden state and revival consists in the return of the church from her backsliding's and in the conversion of sinners, so it starts with repentance for the people of God.

It starts with repentance in our hearts as we turn this. We asked for forgiveness and then it spreads out the conversion of the lost then the awakening of the lost and it is there is there any other hope for America. What is intertie utility Whatcom attorney Todd.

This can happen for the White House down here tell me that for years Adele Trumper for your schedule.

By this, is to turn the tide positively America seriously are you to tell me that well. Social media just can't be so intense all others stuff their fingers in young people that it would appear professional. This is going the way this can happen of the Hollywood is is going to raise its bar of morality and messaging and that is going to happen people you stop hating each other. Racism was just gonna decrease just this can happen. Maybe we need more protests in the streets asking change market knowledge of what other choices there. While these things are cyclical.

Yeah nations rise and fall that cyclical. That's what happens nations rise and fall a few years back 2017 published a book called saving a sick Americas prescription for moral and cultural transformation, and I was in prayer one morning and I felt I heard the Lord say quietly so it was like allowed convictional thing write a book on the fall and rise of America and I thought known on the rise and fall that that they were better now. Obviously we had a bit of history was segregation slavery.

We and treatment of Native Americans. We understand that I've I've always said that whenever refer back to her past is not some new little cliché. I'm adding the voice of the butt in so many ways America was better in the past. If you put aside those ugly ugly aspects of our history so many ways in terms of morality, family values and faith and I thought okay II could write a book on the rise and fall of America rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Whatever the fall and rise.

I felt the spirit urging me that there is real potential for revival awakening that there is potential for the nation to determine right now I feel like writing a book on the last days of America and its revival are awesome and that's what it comes down to it's it's awakening arouse always the America we wake up to us when we will not recognize the good news is, God will move if his people cry if will get earnest enough, your Finney oddly said revival is partly the work of man what he meant was, we have our role. That's what he meant God has to send it, but we have our role in if we will do our part and cry out and seek his face and be earnest, he will answer from heaven and come back with some very stirring quotes and then a powerful clip from Leonard Ravenhill.

From 1989 to 1994. He was born in 1907 died in 94 the age of 87. I never knew a man of prayer like him. A man is broken in heart for revival, it deeply intimate with Jesus and I was in meetings where he spoke here in old and frail, and every so often loses train of thought and had a series of strokes and things of interest we can to him a little something he DB speaking maybe just starting a quote from him that he had memorized and then, this is Martha Martha just called to his wife Martha to fill in the vitamin that could happen that often, but he could have it all on same was he was just dynamic. I commanded us to preach up a storm and run up and down and jumping up and down he was. He was a frail old man and he was so full of the spirits are gripped by Dobbins prayer like so deep that sometimes when he preached he could finish the message. I remember being in one meeting and and II got tied up.

I arrived there late was in early 1990, California, the meeting building.

The building held about out of 4500 I believe that was number and he couldn't speak. He had finished his message well.

He had gone to the end of his message and the place. This broke out weeping and wailing and ever everyone laying on their faces to the whole building crying out repentance, so I just want you to hear this clip of Leonard Ravenhill talking about revival. I believe it will stir your heart is the author of why revival tarries another classic books and were still riding the wave of some of his prayers listen to what he said, not man's all about all the one thing that men America and not allowing using automatic ranges and selling them and then is this nothing as he was addressing the same name and many judges and unbelieving, holding donations is I meeting you and I don't get anything in my job and you don't need to hold a five euro house during the no line is I yeah the words of many Ravenhill still stir me as I hear them, especially with the busyness of life and the call to get away and pray that that was produced by remnant ministries online.com very powerfully produced listener Charles Finney said terms of point when his revival needed cold revival of religion necessary referred to what is revival needed.

Listen with Freddie said one when there is a want of brotherly love and Christian confidence among professors of religion with those who profess faith, then a revival is needed, then there is a loud call for God to revive his work. When Christians have sunk down to low and backslidden state. They neither have nor ought to have their is there reason to have the same love and confidence toward each other's when they are all alive and active in living holy loss of a lack of brotherly love is a second symptom of an revival is needed when there were dissensions and jealousies, and evil speaking's among professors of religion, then there is a great need of revival is that the state were in today.

I think Finney would be shocked if he could seek three Christians created a social media today. Number three when there is a worldly spirit in the church, then it's manifest, the church sunk down the backs of the statement number four when the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to wake and cry to God for revival five and there's a spirit of controversy in the church in the land revival is needful. We live with controversy 24 seven number six when the wicked triumph over the church and revile them. It is time to seek for revival of religion were several and when sinners are careless and stupid and sink into hell unconcerned.

It is time the church should bestir themselves and then he says revival of religion is only possible thing that can wipe away the reproach which covers the church. Mr. religion which means the true faith to the place it ought to have in the estimation of the public when I've ever this stuff before friends been looking at it now think of myself is this more relevant than it's ever been a minimum my number I'm writing books on each of the subjects as I'm reading stuff to select.

This is unbelievably relevant in terms of of symptoms. Symptoms of a church that is revival and then when Finney did a message on how to promote revival is how Gouda stir hearts to go after God for revival to create an atmosphere revival is as welcome. He says this and I just get will skip down here.

Hang on the SOS as you are laying things out you break up the fallow ground. Hosea 1012 break up the fallow ground, seek God until he rains down righteousness Reese's.

Okay here are some of things you focus on it in. In analyzing the need of the church, so he starts with sins of omission in gratitude. That's 12 want of love to God. Three. Neglect of the Bible put on the cases when for days and prep for weeks.

It may be even from must give you had no pleasure in God's word prep to do that, read a chapter. If you read it was in a way that was still more displeasing to God and for unbelief number five neglect of prayer. The sixth neglect of the means of grace. Number seven, the manner in which you perform those duties want to feeling one of faith. Worldly frame of mind so that you words were nothing but the mere chattering of a wretch that did not deserve that God should feel the least care from number eight.

You're one of love for the souls of your fellow man. The 91 of care for the heathen is not nine number 10 your neglected family duties.

11. Neglect of social duties.

12. The click of waterless overall life 13 neglect Waterview brethren. 14. Neglect of soft and the half roll those decisions of all mission didn't get the sense of culmination say what's a guy trying to do a guilt trip. I will know awaken us to our condition. It's like you go to a doctor you not feeling well and they circulate slits, take your blood and and let's do this and let's do that. Let's give it his full physical and they want to see what the real problems are so that they can make sure they diagnose the cure properly many of us don't realize that was spiritually sick. Many of us don't realize our need. Many of us think our condition is fine. Look, I have worked out with folks young guys in their 20s just assumed is there in their 20s are in good shape and partway through that workout they they gotta stop in and run in the bathroom and throw up.

And then there they can't walk for all they have to just sit there lightheaded didn't work out that I that I do and then once there back together. It's like a limit of the fittest and the work on my own inputs to sit rested.

They thought they were fine until they subjected themselves to some type of rigor and it's the same way. We may think refined to we look in the mirror in intellect we get gray. Little by little we gain weight. Little by little we we change little by little and often we don't realize it, and then some of starts, go through the checklist or we look in that mirror we get on that scale. Whatever the thing is mythical all my I'm in worse shape than a respite. This is not because God wants to condemn us, it's because he wants to turn our hearts.

We seek him so that we recognize the need.

What did Jesus say when when he was dealing with the religious self-righteousness that I can come for the healthy before the sick.

That's who I came for, and the realities while sick without him, but those who recognize their sickness are the ones that get help. So we think everything is great were doing fine. Then we will really have revival in visitation will just slowly and then with ever-increasing rapidity descendent to moral and spiritual cultural chaos but with awakening the talking turn this high can turn right back in open phones.

866-34-TRUTH filename the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by going 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown does matter. 866-34-TRUTH 78845 new article up on the stream and elsewhere always on our website Esther to Brown.Oregon on stream stream.org: Humpty Dumpty writes the dictionaries and yeah you know I want to go through little Twitter exchange I had with someone yesterday and at go through the earlier calls right and the Humpty Dumpty reference was from Alice in Wonderland. I remember there was a quote to glyphosate quote was so the exact words he says when I use word means just what I choose it to me. Neither more nor less than a second, make words mean whatever I want. So I I had tweeted this out. Just a simple statement to say look, there is a new definition of racism and with this new definition of racism. You can you can hate people despise people of another race. But if you're in the minority is not racism and and I said no if if you hate and despise people because of their race or mistreat in consideration or racist circuits both ways.

So there was a gal.

Desiree is how what her name was on Twitter. She didn't agree with and she said nope.

What you are describing is prejudice, racism equals power plus prejudice. I answered nope that's the new definition people arbitrarily change the meaning of a word to sue the political viewpoint come up with a different word to describe real problem. Don't change the historic meeting of another Desiree wrote back all in caps the definitions of words change all the time.

Go ask a linguist.

I replied I am a linguist. She answered if you say so and then you should not at all be speaking on this, considering that you are clearly showing that you know so little. There's nothing wrong with taking the time to better educate yourself. I answered PhD in near Eastern languages and literatures.

The issues that people feel free to engage in all kinds of racial hatred. If they're the minority, they say, but I can't be racist to cover up for sinful attitudes. She replied now I'm not interested in what you will have to say I unfollow the account and put your ignorant dribble on my timeline good day and then added and I muted this conversation so have fun speaking to each other in your circle jerk of knowing nothing. That's the type of lovely open-mindedness that's out there. By the way, Merriam-Webster dictionary make their their adding to the definition of racism because they got some pushback as I didn't say that racism is systemic oppression, etc. so, in other words, if if someone says to me we need to defund the police buy sell agreement that we are racist when on the racist. I want fair equal treatment for everyone, but I think we should defund the police we are racist. But now, as you can now construct something socially brand people certainly don't agree with it. For example, if you say ought if there is injustice in America want to fix it it if there is disproportionate placement color-pollution how I want to address it. If one group of people decide a fair shake. I want to address that. But you know I don't believe there is systemic racism in America. If you can show me more fix it while they are racist because you don't agree with that. Not a word it becomes weapon iced.

In any case, this is the lovely time GOING with family was one there right get educated. I have an education. Your ignorant jerk. Goodbye. But what can you do you give it a shot right you give a shot, 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to the phone. Starting in New York, Diego, welcome to the line of fire. Hello Dr. Brown again line of fire.

Yeah, good talking to you again buddy what's up. My question is on people. God and God can really dwell on earth that in first Kings chapter 8 verse 27 so can Jesus really be God says that the highest heaven can contain God if he ever entered start yeah so what what it's saying is that all the fullness of his being cannot be contained in one place. The deacons of the manifest himself in one place. For example, his is the cloud of his glory with was over the tabernacle of the fire by night the cloud by day. There are different times we know in scriptural people saw goddesses they saw God axis XXIV. They saw the God of Israel. In one example is a six I saw the Lord so he can be seen, he can appear, but he can't be contained.

So when when Jesus walked the earth. Why was it described in John 114 that that he pitched his tent among us. He tabernacle the most. The word did with the fullness of God. Even though manifest in the human body still fill in the whole universe, so God sits enthroned in heaven in a localized place and get his presence fills the whole universe solids dealing with the idea of an ancient temple in the, the, the worldly idea that that would now be God's house and he would live there, and that's where he was, of course, and you can't localize and contain God but God can appear in a localized way for a second or for year for hundred years whatever he wants is just not fully contained there okay. But isn't that like a contradiction when no one God and man, but yet people think God will know that's the Trinity.

Those that's the answer because the same Bible the same Old Testament that says no one can see God and live.

For example, Exodus 33 God tells Moses. No one can see my face right would say nine chapters earlier. Exodus 24 they saw God of Israel in Genesis 18 Abraham is extensive conversation with Yahweh. And when he's done. Yahweh, the Lord walks away when they're done talking. So I had explained that I'd explain Exodus 3, where Moses realizes that the angel of the Lord, the burning fire is actually God. He's afraid to look at God, so the contradiction is explained by the Trinity that the father is hidden in his glory. No one seen or can't see him look. John 114 says that we beheld the glory of the Father through the son.

And yet John 118 says no one is ever seen God so that's that's the exhalation we have for those reading the Bible for the Jewish world that the sun reveals the father. The father is hidden glory never seen the sun reveals the father. He says if you seen me you seen the father.

Oh, and Daniel Admin ancient of days on Daniel anything thing… Yeah, that's the father of but obviously he doesn't seem his full glory or see his face, and it's the Son of Man that think is is the one who reveals him the epithets that the ancient of days would clearly be the father and the Son of Man. The sun, so there can be some type of visionary experience, but to actually see him in in fullness or see his face forces glory that that's never happened. First Timothy six.

He dwells in unapproachable light, no one seen or can see him and yet he seen how to explain the apparent contradiction father-son spirit that's that's the explanation of total comes together. If you think of it, and in fact Diego good.

Hebrews 1. Meditate on Hebrews 1133 all right and you'll find that very helpful as well. Appreciate the questions that all right 86634 let's go to Jonathan in Jackson Mississippi. Thanks for calling the line of fire. Shalom. Dr. Brown also it's very good to be on your show again, thank you. I just wanted to recommend a book everybody talks about the history of the revivals, but nobody has a book except one that I know of, but Mario Marilla called critical mass to tell you exactly how to get a robot and I think you America. Unfortunately, after it like I got a prophetic word before the scope of the 19 thing happened years ago the judgment and were bobble would hit around the same time and been disappointed in the level of repentance by the church in some quarters.

I think there's rid righteous remnant that is really repentant, but I think there's a lukewarm part of the church that may be going in the opposite direction and it is considered nation. It's a critical moment. I share the concern I share the burden I share the grief that there is so little earnestness.

I hope it will increase me for months now a been shouting as live as I can, through all that the mediator given the to say that we got a wake up now and this was before things got his bed as they did with the upheaval in the nation and the division in the greater division and that the shaking of the protests in the riots and and so on are just in the midst of the virus in the economic shutdown that what's gonna take for us to really cry out. You hate for it to get that bad in that sense for the nation to have a heart attack before the nation radically changes its diet to use the metaphor, but you hope it will just be hungry. Desperation for God it and and love love for neighbor that that pushes us to pray, so make us to the hearts of his people to pray, to repent, to cry out and out yet.

I appreciate the call Jonathan thank you, 866-34-TRUTH. These are these are earnest days very serious earnest days of next year. Gobbling next September.

Hope to have a book out on the theme of revival or we die.

It's it is the reality. It is the reality of our current situation. Let's go to Chapel Hill, North Carolina Mark, thank you for calling the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown, I wanted to weigh in on the election. I hear a lot of collared Culligan and there either thing that they can't vote for Trump moral in the way but they seem to like the pro-Christian agenda per Christian administration and then I hear side. Well, I can't vote for your bite and because of policy and the culture of death. So I've got an idea for voting way with Mark can vote for a man that is God impeccable moral there.

Trump using by voting Compu voting for Pentz yes you got it. I is yet one more thing to say stay that will finish on the inside of the place and get as many of you because as stated fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks Ransford running us on truth is number to call friends.

So go to Amazon.com her own website Esther to Brown.org evangelicals at the crossroads. Okay, so Mark you want to make one more point, go ahead sir, thank you for getting a break the neck point with direction of the country and thoroughly got white rape. Usually what the Democrats wanted to revive capitalism and conservative wanted to keep it thing where one party, which stored actually a really quick victory is important to go back to the Mayflower compact than Barry Piatt individual. The Puritan letter before they all get on Mayflower sale across the Atlantic may all find compact were going to the link of the collective. Pretty much socialism outward in all groups. Put it in a public bar and you take what you need.

There ordered a few years and it completely fall apart because you got people that are taking being there because they don't have but I want to work it actually happened the way that they were able to floundering protocol point them out when they privatized the farm and all of the incentive to produce more corn than I needed became a net exporter audit so so the socialistic ideal was tried and failed to could say in early American history. Now I wonder how many new goes the details yet. There's a great idealism to share with its all common good and then you lose certain work incentive and ethic with that and then people take advantage of it and then it becomes forest and then it ends up with something gonna take from the rest and keep you down in the process.

Said really him or thank you for calling. I appreciated 866-34-TRUTH.

Let's go to Andrew in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Welcome to the line of fire hall Dr. Brown how are you doing well. Thank you Mark Parker ran Dr. Brown. I tried to telephone people are trying to telephone people about what you were saying earlier.

There was even a time when I trust him right about about her crisscross comment about about how God didn't help people about not working for God, but looking towards all of them. I cursor the thinking of you. But at the course are gone from it was not from nonbelievers, but from a Christian than it was messed up because some of them worth it even went on the fate. He was spitting it out for some of them even further. He was struck on the artwork you being not the church. Leave them alone and was struck on following and the thinking is that a lot of believers are noticing our kind of weeping for this time and not what makes me appreciate you and what your help. When she sank. Thank you.

This is would you keep sounding the alarm and it is unsettling when people we expect to be on the same team turn and attack us. Here's the deal.

If we honor the Lord.

If we speak the truth with love and wisdom, then let the consequences be what they are. We serve the Lord by life or by death. Our lives belong to him. Paul said in Philippians 120 and 21. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed will have sufficient courage that now is always Messiah be glorified in my body whether by life or by death.

So is who we are. This what we do. We don't want to be hated and resisted for foolishness or for our lack of wisdom or are mean-spirited.

This or judge mentalism or self-righteousness or hypocrisy. But if we are hated for the Lord's sake, for the true sake that we rejoice with our hearts break brothers to rejoice, so let's continue to sound the alarm and more people are listening and saying amen and we might realize. So thank you sir. We will continue to do what were doing, 86634 to let's go to Susan in Maryland. Welcome to the line of fire. I Dr. Brown hey thank you for taking my call. Mike I ordered day I remember more art later will that I worked for your book and then they were partly earlier The title with white ability light fell apart like people talk about right for them by and allowed and that second title I with anti-anti-great. I'm sorry out to be an anti-] and that by EEPROM intake. Yep, and after listening to your little actor that you played on many I title kind of bothered me and I think you'll like it. You replied that blank ability light apart for blank people to talk about right that them, but any other in outbreaks other than wine which probably happened at the book but I don't like that.

Yeah, and the author you dance… This was yourself so two things on that and in homage the candy book. There is an article that I wrote about no need for wife or children. In other words, hey, I'm stable and secure in the Lord as an American, and if there's some needs to be fixed. We fix it and if it's a false accusation we refuted so check out my article. If you search for my name and the words or just go to Esther to Brown.org and type in white fragility. You can get my response again and was told about this book so let's solve the problem by letting fragile simple right and Ben Shapiro has a video where he dissects the book and because of the worst book ever right. So take my attitude of hey fragile about where there's a probably fix it if it's imagined we expose it and then watch this video where he demolishes the book okay, that's one thing is as far as candy. I've actually been reading his book staff in the beginning which you dear colleague and friend recommended to better understand how deeply embedded in our society. Racist ideas were from early on, you know the dehumanizing of slaves of Africans are having theological reasons for them being lesser or whatever so it's it's helpful to know that, but you don't then have to agree with his social solutions or what it means to be quote an antiracist so I would read these just to understand what other people are thinking at a out in you notes it to know what's out there, but then to have solid questions to ask because what we're seeing now is is is racism fighting racism that you have a hatred and denigrating of Blacks, which is then replaced by hatred and denigrating of whites use a nominal, but only the majority group to be racist that's that's just the changing of the meaning of words for social purposes.

So again have the attitude of no fragility here. Whatever the history is whatever the presidents were doing our best to move forward in a righteous and good like good with that you know and and it was just like you present your artwork to your professors like this is really good. This needs change great thank you because I want to be the best artist I cancel hey I want to be the best citizen I want to be the best follower of Jesus.

I want to be the best neighbor, friend, so let's do this then let's deconstruct some of the myths, and in some of some of what's out there that can be very very dangerous and destructive. So out what I get what I wanted what he resolvable at school said item in the place. But what level of education metal middle school and this is for your entire district. This is required reading. I got now. I would I have bad out here that bad at putting out you get out the beloved plot that I was unable to have it but it would look like, whatever it might get there. The big push for that kind of thing like but many start with beautiful Anthony that the only answer out of that is revival now yeah yeah it is very simple and and enlisted with the recognition of the importance of loving God and loving our neighbor is a fruit that comes out of it and in other words, the key not saying it's either revival or social change were saying. True revival is the only way to lead to real positive lasting social change because it will bring an awakening of morality.
