[It's still legal - and always God-honoring - to air messages like the following. (See Ezekiel 3:18-19.) In light of government backing of raunchy behavior (such offenders were even executed in early America!), maybe the separation we really need is the "separation of raunch and state"!]

In Luke 17 in the New Testament, Jesus said that one of the big “signs” that will happen shortly before His return to earth as Judge will be a repeat of the “days of Lot” (see Genesis 19 for details). So gays are actually helping to fulfill this same worldwide “sign” (and making the Bible even more believable!) and thus hurrying up the return of the Judge! They are accomplishing what many preachers haven’t accomplished! Gays couldn’t have accomplished this by just coming out of closets into bedrooms. Instead, they invented new architecture – you know, closets opening on to Main Streets where little kids would be able to watch naked men having sex with each other at festivals in places like San Francisco (where their underground saint – San Andreas – may soon get a big jolt out of what’s going on over his head!). Thanks, gays, for figuring out how to bring back our resurrected Saviour even quicker!

I found your Web Site by Google
And I wish you the best you can get,
the peace of God through Jesus Christ.

The most important prayer request for all Christians must
now be the restoration of God’s temple, the Body of Christ.
Nothing on the earth is more important than that
God’s temple becomes built up according to the pattern
of God’s word, so that we all are ready when Jesus comes.

Why does the revival tarry? It is because God’s
people tarry to obey the powerful command of
the Lord in Rev. 18:4. This is the most powerful
revival message of the Lord to his people in our time.

As in the days of Lot, it is now. Lot was not interested
to leave Sodom. God sent two angels to rescue him,
and they must persuade him to leave Sodom. When
he yet lingered, one of the angels said to him:
“Flee for your life sake …”
Just like as Lot, God’s people are not interested to
leave the great Babylon, but finally they must flee
for their life from there.

Many of the things in your list we should work to change, in hopes that it would result in the revival many are praying for. If we spread the gospel more than fought the culture war, we would be building the kingdom. If we hungered for Biblical unity, if our desire was for the lost; these should be the goals of the church now rather than waiting for revival to light a fire under us.

Dear Dr Reid: Thank you for this article, and I would hope that every Southern Baptist would read it and consider what you say. I know that I will.

I would only add that I join with you in prayer, and pray for a revival of holiness amongst God’s people — and may it begin in the pulpit. The men you mention here, Whitefield, Wesley, Edwards, the guys in Wales, these were men of holiness, who took God and the things of God seriously.

Thank you my brother, and may God bless your ministry.

I for one am ready to take this opportunity to challenge the status quo and simply preach the Gospel. I am ready to give up all the comfortable things in our assembly of believers that truly do not matter. I am ready to see the walls of denominations crumble and see God’s people come together in REAL unity in Christ Jesus. I am ready to quit looking at the outside of all those around me and focus on the heart inside. I am ready to see my God make a profound statement for Himself in the world right now. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will rain down in the hearts of multitudes with power and raise up laborers beginning with me. I for one am praying for revival. May God’s Glory shine with wonderful brillance back to Himself as we reflect His Glory.

Thanks Doc
