The real revivals in the past produced more change than just the typical speaking and tongues and slain in the Spirit stuff they’ve come to mean today.

They resulted in unbelievers getting saved and as a result society changed very much for the better.

These *revivals* of today are just feel good emotionalism. I have yet to see any real lasting change in the lives of any who have attended them, no matter how many times they’ve been knocked over.

There ya go! That's exactly right. That's why I put almost no stock in preachers like the one being being talked about in this thread. If you compare his rantings to the preaching of Billy Sunday, there's no comparison. Even though Sunday's preaching was animated, he spoke the truth of God and people got truly saved.
