But you mean that some things wither and die and others sprout up when the Lord blesses them, and maybe this is necessary?

Becuz i know from personal experience. Things are so rough to do on your own. The lord has been blessing our ministry left and right, but will it lead to a revolution across America? The Lord must be performing much inter-working, under the scenes, cutting out the weeds and waiting finally for the grain to grow and flourish. Perhaps he's waiting to weed out all the institutions that we worked so to build and rule ourselves so that finally he may be able to move in when the people of this nation need him most. Kinda makes me think of the Meeting House, just the fact that they rebel against the traditional steeple church, is bringing in pagans! And the fact that christianity has become so weak up there, people began to see an ugliness in their hearts from being so depraved. I think the Lord is definitely moving in our younger generation, on the outside it looks shitty that the students are leaving the church, but maybe that's what needs to be done to break down the established form of Christianity today? I could be way off though, that just seems to me what it looks like. As long we have hope in the Lord, and continue to take our identity from Him. The Lord will work in our hearts and our ministry. i agree. which is pretty shitty i think. Becuz i know from personal experience. Things are so rough to do on your own.

So yes, it's up to you.
