Let's be thankful for courageous Bible teaching and pray it stokes these embers of a remnant into a revival

Over recent years, we have witnessed entire religious denominations fold to the left. Just this past year, more than 7,000 congregations split from the United Methodist Church, with more regularly opting to cut ties.

While some churches have allowed the left's agenda to infiltrate their congregations completely — as exemplefied by houses of worship that have hosted drag shows — other churches have chosen to navigate around the controversy by avoiding any timely topics that could land them in hot water.

Despite many churchgoers actively seeking it out, and likely much to their frustration, they aren't hearing a biblical perspective on the political or social issues facing our country today, from so-called "trans rights" and males dominating females in women's sporting events to critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion being taught to our children in schools across the nation.

Should the church not provide a biblical perspective on current events out of fear that some topics are just "too political"? Is the battle not always between God and government? After all, the Bible is living, active, and timeless.

Earlier this year, we witnessed what certainly seemed like the start of a true Christian revival when students at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, began praying and worshipping around the clock for over two weeks. The chapel witnessed an outpouring of roughly 50,000 people seeking a deeper connection to God and the community. In September, students at Auburn University gathered in the hundreds to give their lives to Christ, with more than 5,000 people in attendance.

At some point, you'd think it would become clear: Many Americans are hungry for courageous Bible teaching. And arguably, this could be especially true for potential new believers who may already align with a more conservative lifestyle but haven't yet been successful in finding a church home where they feel God's presence.

As I reflect on this past year, I am grateful for those pastors and rabbis in churches and synagogues where God's word is boldly and unapologetically taught despite the continuous, unrelenting pushback from the left-leaning agenda that seeks to silence them.

We've allowed fear of offending to take over nearly every aspect of our culture, including many churches. While fear is contagious, fortunately, so is courage. Fearless, courageous Bible teaching will stoke these embers of a remnant into a roaring revival.
