Revival in Atlanta

From a journal entry on 11 February, 2007

Revival in Atlanta - it's never happened - not in a city-wide scope. Why is this? Why, in the capital of the New South, one of the centers of the Old South, and the island of capitalism in the heart of the Bible Belt, has the majority of the population never been moved to faith by the Spirit of God at one time? Maybe this is something that the Spirit has simply not intended to happen - and that would be a fine enough answer, suggicient to answer the question. However, I would also have no problem believing that people have largely not prayed for it, and, worse yet, have not truly seen revival as a possibility in this post-modern time. We have passed the days when a message of repentance would really gain traction with people. We have left behind us the days when people would respond to one, absolute message, no matter what its contect. Are we?
