This is such an important analytical question abt the #AsburyRevival /#asburyrevival2023: Why are both left-leaning & right-wing Evangelicals eager to endorse it? I’ve been puzzling over it & have a few thoughts (@BradleyOnishi & @StraightWhiteJC can speak for themselves). 1/
Truthfully, I was invited to write a 1000-word OpEd on the #AsburyRevival that I mothballed on Friday, bc I realized I don’t have a “take” yet on it. Or, rather, I have endless *takes* but no thesis. The events at AsburyU the past 2 wks have been an Evangelical Rorschach test. 2/
When I was still Evangelical, I inhabited left-leaning Evang spaces (InterVarsity & Fuller Seminary google.com/books/edition/…) & also many right-wing env’ts. We have to remember that left-leaning Evangs are still Evangelicals, & *revival* has a mesmerizing quality for Evangs. 3/
Feel Good Friday! 😃Here's some #GoodNews stories to encourage you -- not all news is negative. 💙

My experience at #asburyrevival2023
Revival is something I have prayed about more than anything else I can think of.
So when I heard one was happening NOW and so close, I had to go.
I’ll be honest… I was expecting A LOT! 🧵

I was ready to see fire from Heaven, drunken in the spirit, limbs re-growing themselves, addicts pouring drugs out on the streets.
And man do I ever want to see that and yes I believe it can happen, because it has happened.
Still praying for that.

But if you’re expecting ”magic” at Asbury, it’s not that. That doesn’t mean it’s any less of a revival.
It’s clear, abundantly clear, obtusely clear, that this is an outpouring of love from God to us and us to God.

Having preached here in Asbury chapel leading 100s of Asbury students in prayer late into the night, I am thrilled to hear the credible reports of a new, powerful work of the Spirit breaking out there over these last six days, and now beginning to spread to other universities
I am particularly grateful to those who seem to be stewarding this humbly, wisely and well. Some of them will be joining me tomorrow night for a time of impartation at an online seminar organised by #ReviveEurope and @247prayer
Let me also say that I understand the cautious questions being asked in some quarters. These are natural and sensible.
But after a quarter century thinking and praying about such things, and with much on my heart, for now I simply want to say just two things 👇
