Back in the 1940's, before we had television, churches would have revivals that lasted every night for two weeks.  A visiting evangelist would come, preach every evening, and everyone would come to the meetings.  This happened twice a year.

TV changed all that.  People didn't want to miss their shows.  Two weeks were shortened to one week.  Twice a year was changed to once a year.  One week was shortened to a three day weekend.  Later shortened to a visiting preacher on an occasional Sunday.  And since then, well, I haven't heard of a church having a revival at all in a long, long time.

We are a people that have to be entertained.  And whatever the newest entertainment is--that's what we want.  The Circus.  Drama.  Music.  Happy Days.  Downton Abbey.  (Which I loved.)

And little by little the interaction between people who are searching for the voice of God is squeezed down into sound bites.  Because we have filled up our time with busy activity and no priorities.  Ken used to say, "People are afraid of silence."  I think he was right.

Join a group who is studying scripture.  Don't stay ignorant of the plan that God has for you.   When you do this, you will find a richness in your life that entertainment can't provide.  Fuel for your brain.
Churches of all denominations are moving toward "small group" study.  Find one.  It could change your life.  It changed mine.

I joined a small group in 1963 taught by a friend--whose husband later retired from the Marines to go work as Billy Graham's personal assistant.  Betty and Henry Holley.  Ken and I both learned a lot from them and treasured their friendship and teaching through the years.

Just think, you might end up one step removed from someone like Billy Graham.  What a blessing.
