This Breakpoint was originally published on February 21, 2023. ___ Two weeks ago, what started as a routine (and, according to the preacher, “lackluster”) chapel service at Asbury University became something remarkable. Instead of heading off to classes, students stayed to pray and worship. Services have continued ever since, with people traveling from near and far to join in prayer, repentance, and song. What is being called a “revival” by some and an “awakening” by others has now spread to other Christian colleges.   The past few days echo the revivals that were experienced in the recent past on other Christian college campuses, including one at Wheaton College in 1995, and those at Asbury in 1970 and 1950. In each case, there were seemingly spontaneous expressions from students of prayer, confession, and praise. The revivals of the past are an indelible part of Asbury's historical memory, and many who experienced the 1970 revival have prayed ever since for it to happen again.  Revivals have been, in fact, a consistent, distinct feature of American religious life since before our nation's founding. The First Great Awakening, in the early 1700s, was part of a larger, trans-Atlantic spiritual renewal centered on personal conversion, an emphasis that had a transformative effect on the emerging American consciousness. The idea that a genuinely converted, common ploughboy was spiritually ahead of an unconverted bishop contributed to a growing anti-hierarchical attitude in the colonies. This, in time, contributed to a growing anti-monarchial mood, setting the stage for revolution.  The Second Great Awakening, which swept the nation decades later, coupled a similar focus on conversion with postmillennial eschatology. Among the results was a drive for social reform. Abolitionism, temperance, and efforts against prostitution became calling cards of what came to be known as evangelicalism.  Other revivals followed, and most included an added focus on foreign missions. The Prayer Meeting, or Businessmen's Revival, of the 1850s was followed by revivals in the camps of both armies during the Civil War, the urban efforts and revival preaching of D.L. Moody of the 1870s and 80s, and the theatrics of Billy Sunday's revivals at the turn of the century. Soon after came the Azusa Street Revival in California, which led to a massive growth of Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement worldwide, and then eventually led to the Jesus People of the 1970s.   And those are only the “big” ones. Simply put, revivalism, with a focus on a personal faith with public implications, dramatically shaped American life and culture and is a major reason that America remained more religious than Europe for so long. At the same time, revivals and revivalism have always faced a good deal of criticism, including charges of excess, hyper-emotionalism, manufactured techniques, and anti-intellectualism.   Jonathan Edwards, a major figure of the First Great Awakening, understood the dangers inherent to revivalist fervor, but he also believed in these unusual times when the Holy Spirit moved among a people. Perhaps America's greatest intellectual, Edwards prayed and worked toward revival, and he offered criteria for evaluating it. According to Edwards, a true work of the Holy Spirit elevates Christ, opposes sin and Satan, prizes the Bible, distinguishes truth from error, and manifests love. He also understood that in the midst of such a movement, there would be things to oppose as well. All of this is helpful as we try to grasp what has happened at Asbury, and now beyond, over these last two weeks. We'd do well to remember Jesus' warning that there will be tares among the wheat, and that the remarkable times in which the power of God and goodness of Christ are made manifest are ways in which God graciously prepares us for life off of the mountaintops. Though, like Peter and John, we may want to remain in such times and places, He will eventually have work for us to do elsewhere. Critics would do well to recall the history of God working through awakenings and revival, both in this nation and elsewhere, as well as the faithful who sincerely believe that God has answered their years of praying for revival to return to Asbury.   What we can all be sure of (and thankful for!) is that God is constantly at work in His world, sometimes in extraordinary but most often in “ordinary” ways. God is constantly speaking through His world, through His Word, and ultimately, in His Son. May we have the ears to hear Him. And may He grant us the hearts to pray that an awareness of sin and a passion for God and His people would grow in the hearts of these students, long after the mountaintop high of the revival has faded in their memory.   This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Glenn Sunshine.

As we discussed on the previous episode the fate of the Republic may lie in the hands of the Supreme Court. Seven out of the nine justices voted to not hear the Texas case. The refused to protect the Rule of Law and the Constitution. There is a report that Chief Justice Roberts excuse for not hearing the case was out of fear of riots. https://www.rightwirereport.com/2020/12/16/is-chief-justice-roberts-afraid-of-the-leftist-mobs/ Perhaps America loving citizen Patriots ought to take a page from Antifa and BLM. Apparently riots and intimidation work. The evidence is overwhelming. The election is being stolen from the American People. The fight must continue.  The Epoch Times reports: ...state Sen. Eddie Farnsworth, a Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said at the conclusion of the hearing. “I recognize and I will state that the chairman has been very clear in saying that he supports an audit, but as long as the constraints exist because of ongoing or additional litigation, they don’t feel like they can perform an audit, which continues to leave our constituents feeling like, maybe this election was compromised. So with that said, it is therefore in my intent to exercise my authority as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and, with the full support of the Senate president, to issue subpoenas in an effort to audit the equipment software and ballots.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/arizona-senate-chairman-to-subpoena-audit-of-dominion-machines-software_3619138.html Bards Logic is the Grassroots, We the People show.  

Bennie Smith, Shelby County, Tennessee elections commissioner and programmer who discovered a major flaw in voting machine software is not ruling out a deliberate hack favoring Joe Biden as part of a compromised election. Also, law professor Tim Canova, once a Democratic party primary challenger found evidence he lost two races he shouldn’t have, perhaps as a result of voting machine software being manipulated by party operatives. Meanwhile the media twists itself in knots with “nothing to see here, folks”.   Objective experts have been warning about voting machines for years but nothing ever changes. Perhaps America’s establishment politicians don’t really want it to.    

Today's first headlines: Rome musician Lee Shealy joins legendary Atlanta Rhythm Section. ‘We all get along great. It’s just neat to listen to all their stories from years together.’ Business: As first half of 2020 ends, some big minuses but also hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment across Northwest Georgia despite the pandemic. State-record 2,226 new COVID-19 cases since Saturday; Georgia sees 11,282 additional positive tests in 7 days, a 17.1% surge. Reports: Woman dead, man shot Sunday evening near Crump Road in Cartersville. Business: Second downtown Rome studio on the way as Playa Azul Media moves in above Jamwich. Rant of the Day: A different way to celebrate the red, white and blue. So how do we celebrate Independence Day this year? The spirit certainly is willing but the options for what helps make it all magical -- the time spent with family, friends and neighbors, from parades to fireworks to picnics and trips to the lakes and rivers -- are limited. Ridge Ferry Park will not be the base for the community celebration we're used to although Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation and sponsor Redmond Regional Medical Center promise to light up the sky for a good 20 minutes that night. (One of the best seats in the past? Atop the parking deck by Town Green). The day-long celebration in Cartersville is on hold this year as is Calhoun's star-spangled extravaganza. The Rockwell-like community parade in Cave Spring is a go, with social distancing precautions and all, but will people turn out to march or watch? And will the homemade ice cream be served? A three-hour event is planned in downtown Rome -- including prayer, songs and a citizens parade -- but who will show up, especially in 90-plus degree heat and a thunderstorm threat? Will everyone be wearing masks? Will we social distance? And, if not, will we pay a price with more positive test results in mid-July? On the day we celebrate our freedom, we're likewise supposed to be observing vital health restrictions to limit the spread of coronavirus. Perhaps America in 2020 has to learn about new types of sacrifice. But that doesn't mean we can't come up with new ways to celebrate as well. After all, look what a Cave Spring parent did to both educate and entertain her young sons 35 years ago. Today, it is perhaps the most nostalgic thing we do in Northwest Georgia. It doesn't matter how you celebrate; just remember what we're celebrating. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

Perhaps America's greatest peacetime President, Theodore Roosevelt was a man of contradictions: a sickly child who came to symbolize strength and virility; a child of wealth who fought the wealthy on behalf of the common man; A New Yorker who made himself a cowboy; a hunter who built the national park system; a man who enjoyed war but accomplished peace. Connecting the dots between these seeming contradictions is a fascinating story, the story of Theodore Roosevelt.

Perhaps America's most famous landscape, Monument Valley and its fantastically shaped red-streaked buttes have starred in countless films and television shows. But its story truly hearkens to the people who have lived here for centuries: the Navajo, and before them, the Ancestral Puebloans. In this episode, we'll discuss how the Ancestral Puebloans rose and then collapsed, victims of social breakdown in the face of climate change, and how the legacy of colonial oppression lives on in the dish most commonly associated with the Navajo: fry bread and the Navajo taco. But despite those setbacks, the culture of the indigenous southwest lives on strong to this day.

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America was formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December 2012. The group, which now has approximately 5 million members has focused its energies on handgun laws and safety. While it has had success at the state lever (even here in Louisiana), it appeared to be fighting waves of public indifference to the hundreds of mass shootings that have happened since those pre-Christmas days when 20 children and six adults were gunned down at the school in Newton, Connecticut.The murder of 17 people — 14 students, one teacher and two coaches — last week seems to have broken through the numbness brought on by mass shootings between Sandy Hook and the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last week. The very public outcry of survivors of the shootings touched off waves of anger among young people which, in turned, appeared to shame adults whose inability to convince their lawmakers to pass laws to prevent further mass shootings allowed the mid-February murders to take place.Rhonda Gleason is a teacher and parent. She’s been active in the Louisiana chapter of Moms Demand Action for more than two years, playing mostly defense in this state where the NRA is actually a designated business partner of the State of Louisiana.As Gleason explains in this interview, Moms Demand Action’s successes in Louisiana have come through putting human faces on gun violence victims. In 2017, the group defeated a bill that would have eliminated the need for a concealed carry permit (and training) for “anyone who could show that they legally possessed a gun.”The Parkland, Florida, shootings have given the movement for common sense gun laws here and in other states new momentum. Perhaps America’s conscience has been re-engaged on the gun violence issue.Propelled by the new energy and outrage of young people who are tired of being targets, those opposing the NRA and their gun manufacturer patrons might now have the chance to pass laws that will break the current cycle of mass shootings that has seemed unending at times.

Darrell Castle talks about President Trump's broken promises and the tragedy of what could have been. Transcript / Notes BETRAYAL Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. Today is Friday, September 22, 2017, and on today's Report, I will be talking about promises made and promises broken, and what might have been from President Donald Trump.   President Trump campaigned on a promise that he would end DACA on his first day in office, but 8 months later he makes a feeble attempt but then reneges. Last week I said that he sent Attorney General Jeff Sessions out to announce that he was going to issue an order withdrawing President Obama's executive order establishing DACA, but then the President invited Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to the Whitehouse for dinner.  Ms. Pelosi issued a statement summarizing the discussions and stated that there would be legislation re-establishing DACA by law, which the President had agreed to sign.  There would be serious discussion about border security “less the wall.” The Whitehouse Press Secretary said that, yes, border security was discussed, but no discussion about not building a wall, there was no agreement about that.  That would make Nancy Pelosi either an idiot or a public liar.  That's possible but highly unlikely.  No, folks, it sure sounds like the promise which first got him noticed in the polls,  i.e., “I'll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it”, has been abandoned. Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan told a group of Republicans that “only one person wants a wall”.  Well, Mr. Ryan, I beg to differ because 63 million Americans voted for that wall, but hey, who cares about them.  Everyone in Washington not only wants no wall, they want amnesty.  Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, along with all Democrats,  want it.  Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and all the liberal Republicans, want it.  The tech company billionaires in Silicon Valley want it, and it looks like they will have it because the only ones who don't want it are the ones with no power and no influence.  Tens of millions of tax paying Americans don't want it, but they do not count. So no repeal of DACA, and no wall, along with the destruction of the Republican Governors' lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of DACA , those are what President Trump has delivered instead of fulfilling his promises to the voters.  This President likes the deal.  He is the consummate deal maker and he likes the deal more than the Constitution and the rule of law.  He worked out a deal with the Democrats and they got everything they wanted, but what did we get?  I just don't see the quid pro quo. It is a very sad reminder of what could have been.  This is what happens when you elect someone with no ideological motivation.  He had the power to withdraw President Obama's unconstitutional Executive Order on his first day as he said he would, but he chose not to.  What a message that would have sent around the world, but instead, he chose to send a message of betrayal. I remember President Reagan's amnesty bill in 1986, which was supposed to be the last one, and was supposed to include border security.  What amnesty did instead was to deliver California to the Democrats forever.  That's not enough for the Democrats though, they want the entire country forever. This all brings two questions to mind; what is the value of citizenship, and what is the value of coming to America legally?  American citizenship has always been the golden prize, the brass ring that millions around the world desired, but was obtainable by only a few.  Five cities in Maryland have now passed laws making it legal for non citizens to vote. In Philadelphia, a city Councilman recently stated that hundreds of non citizens vote there.  So once again, what's the point of legality?  Perhaps America is now a “failed state”.  I looked “failed state” up in the dictionary and it said “a state that deteriorates to where conditions and responsibilities of a sovere...
