Some Thoughts on the #AsburyRevival
-
My prayer: "Pass me not, O gentle Savior. Hear my humble cry. While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry. While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by."

This is Asbury’s chapel this evening. This has been going on for over 70 hours straight.

#AsburyRevival
Correction, 84 hours.

Bill Elliff’s first hand reflections on what is happening are worth reading.

Another testimony from the #AsburyRevival:
My colleague Tim Beougher visited Asbury today and wrote this report about what he witnessed there.

Here’s another report from Day 7 of the #AsburyRevival. Thank you, @AdrianMathenia.
The President of Asbury University comments on the #AsburyRevival:

“I think it is wise to see this, at the current phase, as an awakening.  Only if we see lasting transformation… can we look back, in hindsight and say ‘yes, this has been a revival.’”

“There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

-Luke 15:7
On Day 8 of the #AsburyRevival, Tucker Carlson interviews the student body president about the spiritual awakening on campus.

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews
I’m not the only one who’s seen evidence of false teachers & affirmers of sexual sin trying to co-opt what’s happening at the #AsburyRevival for their own agenda.

Pray that the Lord would keep the wolves out of this or bring them to repentance. Their agenda is a revival-killer. Image
Wow.
Last night, Asbury professor Craig Keener said the “public phase” of the #AsburyRevival needs to end.

He said that the town is overwhelmed with people and students are no longer the focus.

There are twice as many visitors in Wilmore than there are residents of Wilmore. Image
People are flying in to wait in line for hours—in the rain and snow—to stand next to people they share nothing in common with except for a single conviction:

God is visiting a two-stoplight town in Kentucky.

President of Asbury:

“Thursday evening will conclude our last service in Hughes auditorium…”

No. All sinners (gay, straight, or otherwise) are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. The invitation is open to all.

But if the faith that saved you didn’t change you, then it didn’t really save you.

“No one who is born of God practices sin…” -1 John 3:9
“For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.”

-Ephesians 5:5
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals…will inherit the kingdom of God.”

-1 Corinthians 6:9-10

“A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.”

-Deuteronomy 22:5
“You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”

Leviticus 18:22
“The men of Sodom… called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them’…

Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven.”

“Let me say it loud and clear. Get back in the closet… We look at our sin through the crosshairs of an instrument of execution, not a selfie at the Revoice conference.”

-Rosaria Butterfield

To understand why Rosaria would give this exhortation, you have to come to terms with what "coming out of the closet" actually means in common parlance. Here's one example of how the term is commonly defined...

/2
"Coming out refers to the process that people who are LGBTQ go through as they work to accept their sexual orientation or gender identity and share that identity openly with other people."

The Bible teaches that all people are made in God's very own image and therefore have inestimable value worth.

"And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

-Genesis 1:27

/1
The Bible also teaches that God's image bearers come in two distinct genres--male and female. Genesis 1 teaches that "male" and "female" do not refer to so-called "gender identities" but to the human body's organization for reproduction.

/2
Some bodies are organized for reproduction as fathers (male bodies), and others are organized for reproduction as mothers (female bodies).

Thank you for the fulsome explanation. I do think that this confirms the profound nature of our disagreements.

For its entire 2,000-year history, the church has regarded homosexuality as sinful. This is not an “agree to disagree” issue among Christians. It is a watershed.

/1
It is the reason why Article 10 of the Nashville Statement was necessary (see below). We knew that the path to the “affirming” position would include a stop at “faithful Christians can agree to disagree about this,” as if it were a second order issue.

/2
You say that you are in some sort of a process on this issue, and yet you refer to your “LGBTQ sisters and brothers in Christ.” It sounds like your view already recognizes LGBTQ as compatible with being a Christian. That seems to be a de facto affirming position already.

I’ve thought a lot about this article since reading it yesterday. It’s hard to formulate an apt response because the author does not define what he means by racism, systemic or otherwise.

/1

nytimes.com/2021/07/18/opi…
If he means that Christians should fight against racial partiality or racial animus, then of course there can be no disagreement about that. It is our moral duty to love our neighbor and to treat them with equal weights and measures.

/2
But if he means that Christians must fight against “racism” defined as any racially disparate outcome, then there is no necessary moral obligation to do that. (More on that below)
