Revival


This is just a thought i have been working through. We sing we pray and hope that revival will come or maybe that one day the church will become revived. But i have been thinking about is by searching from revival are we trying to restore christendom.
But can christendom be restored and if should it. The church was more dynamic before it was taken over by Constantine.
But with this in mind the 'established' church has seen population numbers drop but as numbers drop within the church and it feels like the established church is dying. There is an increased desire in spirituality outside the church.
So is it possible that we are experiencing post christendom revival but we just don't recognise how its unfolding?

What is it all about?


When you are a kid you can play for hours and hours with everything from fairy liquid bottles to left over newspaper. And from these simply beginnings complex and imaginary items can be created, formed and evolved.

But how come the news paper that once made up part of the boat that sailed the seven seas suddenly becomes a news paper. Or the Washing up bottle that took action man to the moon just becomes a washing up bottle. 
Why must we loose our imagination? 
Surely we must be able to dream and we must be allowed to a let those dreams become reality? And for me my dream is to see young people empowered and released to follow their dreams! Every way is different but every way starts with the same thing a dream!
