Breaking the “pseudo-revival” of Christian nationalism

John Fea   |  February 13, 2023 Leave a Comment

I believe the only thing that can break the hold of pseudo-revival-Christian Nationalism- is an authentic move of God's Presence. The former is all about power; the latter is all about Divine, Holy love. pic.twitter.com/OdGdR8aQj2

This tweet comes from Pentecostal theologian Cheryl Bridges Johns and it speaks volumes. The Christian nationalist revivals that we see. for example. at Robert Jeffress’s First Baptist Church every Fourth of July are full of hubris and the celebration of American exceptionalism and power.

Compare this to the confession of sin, humility, and the international flavor of the Asbury revival:

If there is an American flag in the chapel, I don’t see it.

I do see significant international interest in this revival:

O cético olha pra Asbury e diz que não passa de histeria coletiva, o emocionado crava ser um avivamento.

A verdade é que temos poucas informações, e tudo é muito recente ainda, mas é importante olharmos com bons olhos, não porque é um avivamento, mas porque nós precisamos!

¡Gloria a Dios! Es lo que también leía aquí, que no es el único avivamiento que ha habido en Asbury, han sido varios a lo largo de los años!! 🙌🏼❤️‍🔥https://t.co/Y7E51bHDOL

Word of the revival at Asbury Univ has reached some of us here in S. Korea

praying the recent revival @AsburyUniv in Wilmore, KY spreads like a fire across the nation

I know my alma mater, @UnionUniversity in TN would love to share and spread the love of Jesus to #allnations

Il y a 50 ans, un renouveau éclata sur le campus d'Asbury.

Cette semaine, une chapelle a débuté mercredi à 10h00 avec 1 600 élèves.

Ce réveil n'est pas axé sur les grands orateurs, les groupes célèbres, mais sur la repentance, les témoignages, la présence manifeste de Dieu. pic.twitter.com/Jlrs5I7Mjy

Welcome back! I don’t expect you to remember this high school teacher from Canada…met at Evolving Faith in NC. I’m watching what’s unfolding in Asbury, you’re back here, our HS chapel has seen new life, local church is growing/learning. Something’s up, Jonathan! 🔥
