Objections to Revivals

Question

Why do people object to revivals?

Quick Answer

Without pretending to know people's motives, one cannot help but wonder if inconvenience, the danger of unhealthy emotions, the desire to keep spirituality at a comfortable level, all play a role in bringing objections to revival, to say nothing of negating theological understandings that come into play.

Scriptural Answer

Luke 2:34 “Behold, this Child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against. . . that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."

Further Answer

Some speak out of ignorance. They have never experienced it and don't know anything about revival.
