The Asbury Revival… and the Book of Acts

It’s been going on for over a week now, and shows no signs of letting up: a spontaneous Christian revival at Asbury University, Kentucky. People are there from all over the world.

One party that is not there is our Free & Independent Nooze Media Inc., a subsidiary of  Democrats “R” Us. There’s been some nooze coverage, but not much.

Wit you well: if this kind of response were made to some Drag Queen escapade, the media would be yapping about it 24/7.

I’m surprised CNN, MSNBC et al have not risen up in mockery. The revival seems like it would be the natural target for them.

Maybe they don’t know what to say or do.

I am reminded of Gamaliel’s advice to the Temple rulers, in Acts 5: 34-40. They were trying to decide how to suppress the apostolic church in Jerusalem, the first Christians; but Gamaliel, a man of great reputation among them, advised them to let it alone. To paraphrase: he mentioned two false prophets who came utterly to nothing, and told the rulers that if Jesus of Nazareth was just another nobody pretending to be somebody, His movement would fail and die on its own; but if not, if it were the work of God’s Spirit, then opposing and persecuting it would be to be against God Himself. “If it’s from God, you can’t stop it. And if it’s not, it will stop itself.”

We see in later chapters that the more the worldly authorities persecuted the Church, the faster and the greater it grew.

Will they interfere with what’s happening at Asbury?

We can only wait and see.
