Like Charles Finney Said, the Pulpit is to Blame for America's Fall ? Charisma News
The message above authored by Shane Idleman, lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship in Lancaster, California begins:
"I looked throughout America to find where her greatness originated. I looked for it in her harbors and on her shorelines, in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and in her gold mines and vast world commerce, but it was not there. It was not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her success. America is great because she is good, and if America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." (Alexis de Tocqueville, 1805-1859)
Revival in the body of Christ requires pastors to return to God in prayer, holiness, worship and preaching. Idelman's message:
"Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty." (Zechariah 1:3 NIV)
