It is not goodbye, just good night.

I began the Revival Blog as a place to publicly declare what I thought the Church should become.  It seemed to me that the voice of Pentecost had been overshadowed by fruit collection in the Spirit-Filled Church and I wanted other voices to be heard.

In that time, The Revival Blog has become a gathering place for people who are contending for revival in their fellowships, people walking in revival and want others to do the same, and mockers who want others to reject the Bible as they have done.

Three and a half years ago, I began this journey as a man who had just resigned his position in a church plant, grew as a youth minister, and now find myself a church planter and aspiring itinerant revivalist.

As this latest season is coming more into focus, the last season is fading from view.  And The Revival Blog is part of that season.

I will not say that I won’t post here any more, but at this time I do not plan to.

I have begun a new blog at Carl Thomas http://www.carlthomas.net.  This blog  will be less abstract in theology and more of an account of my life as a “Father, Christian, Preacher, Husband (not necessarily in that order).”

I am going to leave this blog up.  I am not going to edit the content and plan to leave the comments open as is. I have a post or two I still have unpublished but other than that, this is the end.

It is possible that this will come to life again, I just can’t see that time from here.  I have made a handful of genuine friends through this site including David (who I consider my pastor and is on my board), Michael, Mark and others.  I have made a few folks fairly mad.  And hopefully I have encouraged folks though my successes and failures while seeking after God.

I pray that each of you are experiencing the seasons of God and are equally open to lay down something that you love and cherish to follow the call of God on your life.

Thank you each for your friendship and encouragement.

Carl Thomas

No doubt you have noticed that I have not blogged here very frequently as of late.

I would like to promise you that I will begin blogging more frequently but I don’t know that I can keep that promise.

This blog began really as a ministry. It was my goal to shed light on the revival that’s happening across America and across the world.  God is moving today and his spirit is being poured out in America and around the world. I would always hear people talking about their desire for revival yet it was revival that they could control.

I frequently wrote about ministers who declare their desire for revival yet what do everything in their power to keep the Holy Spirit from messing up their service.  Now I find that I’m the one who’s running the service and much to my delight I let the Holy Ghost mess it up all the time. But with this new ministry I have less time to blog about things abstract.  So going forward with the revivalblog, I cannot guarantee you the posting frequency or the direction and the time may come a day may cease posting altogether and starting a new blog about my personal ministry.

If you have any revival related posts you’d ever like to see here on revivalblog feel free to e-mail them to me at revivalblog@gmail.com.

If you have time please consider praying for my ministry and for the people of The Mission at Delray.
