=== Radical Hearts Needed (01:24) ===

[00:00:00]  Why was the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation not enough to bring peace and harmony in your estimation?
[00:00:09]  Yeah, the problem was twofold.
[00:00:12]  The sin of America was so great and grave with slavery, and so much of America embraced it that they were not willing to accept the change.
[00:00:24]  In other words, hearts were not sufficiently changed, and there had to be a bloody civil war to settle this.
[00:00:31]  But Charles Finney, who was an abolitionist, was a revivalist first.
[00:00:36]  And Finney warned that if we did not respond rightly, if we did not have revival first to change the hearts of the nation, that we would have a bloody civil war.
[00:00:48]  And right now, there are factions in America rising up on all sides that there could be literally a bloody clash coming from all different sides, from the radical right, from the radical left, that will endanger all of us.
[00:01:04]  The only hope is the changing of hearts through a massive awakening.
[00:01:09]  Look, we can have the right justices in the courts.
[00:01:12]  We can overthrow Roe v. Wade and throw things back to the individual states.
[00:01:16]  That would be a big breakthrough.
[00:01:18]  But then hearts have to be changed.
[00:01:20]  Minds have to be changed.
[00:01:21]  And that's something only the gospel can do.
