    About this ebook

    ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR REVIVAL?

    Erwin Lutzer exclaims, "We may glibly proclaim that we want this nation to have another chance to recapture the meaning of 'In God We Trust,' but if we knew what such a transformation would personally demand, we just might prefer to leave things as they are. We may have become too comfortable to pay the price."

    As Lutzer examines past American revivals, he reveals how God worked through diverse personalities and circumstances to ignite thousands of souls and lives. But is it too late for America? American culture increasingly embraces secular humanism and relativism, while neglecting the basic moral standards our country was founded on. This culture has begun to permeate evangelical churches and has eroded many principles and doctrinal positions that were never before questioned.

    In Will America Be Given Another Chance? Erwin Lutzer challenges you to prepare yourself for another Great Awakening. He, however, reminds Christians, that God "is not obligated to rescue us from our moral and spiritual decline." In either case, you must be ready, through faith, prayer, and involvement.

      Will America Be Given Another Chance? - Erwin W. Lutzer

      Revival

      Introduction

      If this is not the bottom, then how deep does this pit go?

      This was the question of a distraught parent whose child is daily indoctrinated in the socially left curriculum of a New York public school. Although the school system claims that it is bankrupt, it did find enough money to publish a new curriculum that teaches the acceptance of homosexuality in the first grade and mutual masturbation in junior high. Condoms, say some parents, are given to the students instead of textbooks; and classes in how to practice various forms of immorality have become a substitute for the three R’s.

      Little wonder former education secretary William J. Bennet gives our nation a failing grade. In his Leading Cultural Indicators research, he has shown that during the past thirty years there has been

      • a 560 percent increase in violent crime

      • more than a 400 percent increase in illegitimate births 

      • a quadrupling in divorce rates

      • a tripling of the percentage of children living in single parent homes

      • more than a 200 percent increase in the teenage suicide rate

      • and a drop of almost 80 points in SAT scores

      No matter how much the government spends on pathologies, he says, the situation is only becoming worse: Many of the most serious social and behavioral problems we now face (particularly among our young) are remarkably resistant to government cures.

      Never before have our children been less cared for, less emotionally healthy, and less prepared for life. When novelist Walter Percy was asked what concerned him most about the future of our nation, he said, "Probably the fear of seeing America, with all of its great strength, beauty and freedom … gradually subside into decay through default and be defeated, not by the Communist movement, demonstrably a bankrupt system, but from within by weariness, boredom, cynicism, greed and in the end helplessness before its great problems."

      Helplessness before its great problems! Resistant to government cures! When a Chicago newspaper asked its readers for suggestions on how to stop the alarming crime rate in the inner city, the response (even from church leaders) was largely silence. How ironic that our nation with its mighty resources is unable to restore respect for human life, commitment in marriage, and care for children. Even secularists are beginning to realize that our problems are not educational, not cultural, and not even moral, but spiritual. We have lost our way.

      If we could speak to our Founding Fathers, they would tell us simply, You have forgotten God. Historians can debate the details of what each of them believed, but all of them firmly agreed that faith in God was the foundation of
