A trend that had first been observed in the early part of the Twentieth Century. If you wanna pay for journal access, knock yourself out. Online, the only contrary stuff I saw was media based.
Lazy citation for the Great Awakening.
And, because I actually had the Second in mind, here's a brief citation on it.
I see better evidence that the end times might be near. But frankly, if Jesus didn't know the day and hour, I sure don't. Giving up on everyone because things look bad is just not defensible in Scripture.
If we're in the end times, that's just more reason to try harder to reflect Christ to a world that so badly needs Him. If not, then it's even more important that we leave the best legacy we can for the next generation to find and themselves reflect the Savior.
Those idiot kids will grow up. Some will even do a good job of it. Our job is to show them what it means to follow Christ and to be grown ups. I think a better way to do that is to confront the already desolate areas of Earth that deny Christ and martyr His people. Because it's already worse than you're imagining - just not here. We just have a bunch of idiots that are trying to relive the Sixties, minus the tie dye.
Now is not the time for defeatism. Now is the time for truly following Christ.
*EDIT: I didn't realize we were in the Eschatology Section. Sorry.
