The End of a Season, The Revival Blog Hibernation

November 25th, 2008 by Carl Thomas.

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 I have a post or two I still have unpublished but other than that, this is the end.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

    Hi Carl,

    I’ve come to appreciate your thoughts and opinions that you’ve shared here…I discovered you during the Lakeland Outpouring and have read up on other topics from the archives. I’ve learned a lot and I believe my growth as a Christian and one that loves and prays for revival has been impacted in a large way by what you’ve shared. I look forward to reading what you share about your journey with God on your new blog. God Bless!

    Carl,

    Thanks for all the great messages, for the help and friendship over the last several years. Obviously the Lord is leading you in another direction and I truly respect that, but I will miss your reflections of that journey here at Revival Blog.

    I’ll continue to check up on you at your new site and on Facebook,
    Blessings,
    Michael
