Where are we failing?

 A few weeks ago I saw a video of some children crying in a ministration and the video was going viral on Instagram and Facebook and as is obvious from people who do not know what it is and in their life (not even in decline) have read anything about revival They were already talking about revival, Yes, again, but now starting with the children.

Before continuing, it is good to make it clear that today there is no person who can call something a revival or talk about a revival on a basis without having to refer to the past. Charles Finney, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, A.W. Tozer among others, were the ones who left the parameters to know a true revival, if you don't know what they established, what you say has no value.


Returning to what I want to emphasize in this publication, I must say that there is something that has been killing me with pain for days and that is that just like those children, I saw my nieces, but I saw them six months ago and what they were worried about was making money and boyfriends, one had already had several non-Christian boyfriends by the way and she was only worried about her current boyfriend who is also not Christian and making money. -Be careful, I have no problem with making money, I like it too-


For me, the video of those children has nothing new, but my concern is: Where is the problem? What mistake do we make with them while they are growing?

Because it's not just my nieces, I myself was a Christian child and I have seen many who were in church as children and experienced the same thing and today have lives very apart from God. I have a horrible pain to know what is happening or what happened, where was the mistake?

I remember commenting something like this that I write here in one of the videos that are on Instagram and the responses to my comment were the majority: "This is a revival believe it or not", "Praise God, this is a revival you have to believe it" and that was more than three months ago and everything has already disappeared.


While I was reading the responses to my comment, I said to myself: Are they stupid or do they understand my arguments? Sometimes people believe they have more faith or more spirituality or more discernment. They don't understand that I speak from pain. I do want a revival, that's why I have read every book I could read about revival, so I started collecting books for the Library that I believe.


I want my family to be saved, I want revival, but we cannot close our eyes to the truth of the arguments because we have a supposed faith, which in reality is fanaticism and lack of understanding instead of true faith.

What I propose here must be addressed; It is necessary to see what is being done wrong with the children of the church. What happens between the ages of 12 and 16 that makes even the most dedicated children cool down.


And please let's not come out with the "God is in control of everything" thing.

Parents, pastors, children and youth leaders have to get their hands on the matter.

I hope what I write makes us all reflect and act.
