“The story of the very first outbreak of theRevivaltraces it to the trembling utterance of a poor Welsh girl, who, at a meeting in a Cardigan village, was the first to rise and testify.
“If no one else will, then I must say that I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart” “…

“The philosophy of Eric Voegelin offers insight into the causes of the twentieth-century nightmare, causes, he suggests, bound up with the very nature of “modernity” itself.
According to Voegelin, the great modern ideological movements—communism,fascism,national socialism— are neither random and inexplicable outbursts nor solely the products of particular material and historical conditions.They
should be understood instead as the extreme manifestations of a form of spiritual disorder or psychic disorientation that springs from certain tensions inherent in human existence.
For Voegelin,the crisis of modernityis inessence a spiritual crisisrooted in adeformation of the truth of reality”…

“Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval.But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat:
‘Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened’”…
