The No. 1 battle is ‘between the serpent and the Lamb’
By Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, Real Clear Wire
On Sunday, May 17, I had the privilege of kicking off the Rededication 250 gathering in Washington DC by declaring the following “America is not done with God and God is not done with America.
God is up to something. Hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered together, not for a protest or a political rally, but to pray. They gathered to give thanks and to rededicate this nation to the God who blessed it when it was founded.
The media may not have seen it coming. The polls did not predict it. But people of faith showed up anyway.
The idea that spirituality is dead in America is a misnomer. I don’t believe America is in a spiritual decline, but rather, that we are right on the precipice of awakening. We are seeing Generation Z turning to Jesus in record-breaking numbers. Bible sales continue to increase, and church attendance is rising.
But we shouldn’t be entirely surprised.
Young people are exhausted from doomscrolling. Celebrity culture is dying. I’ve talked to many members at my church who confirm that the vain pursuit of wealth is unfulfilling. When people reach these epiphanies, they begin to search elsewhere, and for something more wholesome and eternal.
