The Underbelly of Revival? – Desiring God: “We wrote to D.A. Carson and asked, “Do you find that the thrill and euphoria of being part of something that feels like revival may serve to dull the senses in some?

Has the perceived fruitfulness clouded the vision of some (many?) to the things that matter most?”

We both want it and despise it.
