Mike, I am so with you on this. Dualism is a distortion that eventually bites us in the butt. Delbert Wiens writes, “By now it is becoming possible to see that the most unfortunate result of revivalism may not have been its excesses and distortions. The deeper problem is that frontier revivalism could not be one or two of the means used by a developed church to express aspects of its faith and life. Revivalism did not serve a church that knew much more. Instead revivalism itself had to create and sustain the Christian community. And this meant that the church thus created tended to remain fixated around the emotions and the doctrines of its beginnings. The most demonic result is that the success of the movement has tended to limit its descendants to that level of human need which it was designed to satisfy. Its victory acted as a brake on Christian maturity. Churches created by revivals have found it almost impossible to break free from the moods and the ideas appropriate to adolescents.” I see restorationist and "kingdom now" movements as essentially revivalist. I see the same hype.. I see the same charismatic personalities leading.. and often distorting the truth to generate commitment. Sadly, so much of the emphasis is put on what is out there.. yet to come.. the future great things God is going to do.. and neglecting what God is doing now. And i see the same results.. emphasis on emotion.. reduced interest in theology and the cognitive elements of growth in grace... reduced interest in finding God in the ordinary day by day .. often difficult and costly.. .discipleship. Recently I read in Oswald Chambers.. “Those who wait on the Lord . . . shall walk and not faint” —Isaiah 40:31 There is no thrill for us in walking, yet it is the test for all of our steady and enduring qualities. To “walk and not faint” is the highest stretch possible as a measure of strength. The word walk is used in the Bible to express the character of a person— “. . . John . . . looking at Jesus as He walked. . . said, ’Behold the Lamb of God!’ ” ( John 1:35-36 ). There is nothing abstract or obscure in the Bible; everything is vivid and real. God does not say, “Be spiritual,” but He says, “Walk before Me. . .” ( Genesis 17:1 ). When we are in an unhealthy condition either physically or emotionally, we always look for thrills in life. In our physical life this leads to our efforts to counterfeit the work of the Holy Spirit; in our emotional life it leads to obsessions and to the destruction of our morality; and in our spiritual life, if we insist on pursuing only thrills, on mounting up “with wings like eagles” ( Isaiah 40:31 ), it will result in the destruction of our spirituality pax len
