I won't identify any of the people in this anecdote but you would recognize the names. The well-known Pentecostal preacher decided to see for himself.....and attended a Christian concert of the most popular Christian singer of the day.....(this was in the 80s....and I had been to one of this Christian entertainer's concerts back then....and remember the preachers testimony as accurate)....somewhere in the middle of the dancing and wild 'praising' the preacher was so distressed at what he was seeing that he ran down the aisle yelling...."Ichabod....Ichabod"....'the glory has departed.'
Today....Fox News reported on it....65,000 18 to 25 year olds are gathering in Atlanta for a three-day praise and teaching conference. I caught a few of the videos so far and it was typical of any concerts today with some laser lights and pyrotechnics and giant screens....but I would say to these young people.....'that's not where it's at.'
The intent is certainly there....and there were some good speakers on the agenda. The news reporting so far is anything but in-depth so I'll continue to read up on it in the week ahead....Lord willing....and I may have to retract some of this opinion....but if there was not a warning there for these young people.....a warning on what America has become....on what we have become....and what lies ahead....then it's probably just another.....'show the world how cool Jesus is.....and how well we can rock.....even though it's a different 'Rock.'
It's a coincidence....18 to 25 years olds at the Christian conference....but if we have war ahead of us and the draft has to be reinstated then it will be these same 18 to 26 year olds called up first. At the very least this generation has the right to know what is in store for them! The bottom line is that we are in TrumpWorld now.....he just predicted a great year ahead....we're not worried.....we're not concerned.....we're just rockin' on....trustin' in Jesus....but unfortunately not trustin' in His warnings.
