As an effective church in the Western world, THE REVIVAL FELLOWSHIP isn't looking too good. Many people now in their 40' who have been around for 20+ years are starting to question the legalism and control and are realising they are not the only Christians around.
Places like Sth Australia and Victoria have groups where leaders are not liked at all, but many people are still afraid to make a break.
Diotrephes in 3 John stopped the brethren from getting together and took it upon himself to put people out of the church. Sound familiar?
Of course the drying up of converts in the Western world will be interpreted as a symptom of "the last days". The RCI, Geelong Revival Centres, and the miniscule CAI will also be saying the same thing.
Four superiority complex ridden groups, all declining, none of them talking to each other, all rubbishing each other and all other Christian groups.
DONG.....DONG....DONG.......for whom the bell tolls.

I know what you"re thinking....did I put 5 people out or 6?... I guess in all the excitement I kinda lost count myself...so the question is, do you feel lucky?...well do you, punk? - Clint Eastwood
