Sounds like there is some "collectivist" mindsets we need to separate ourselves from...this "gotta get it done through the group"
Makes you wonder if when the scripture says,"Lord didnt "we" do this in thy name?"
If the "we" being referred to is referencing themselves personally or a group they identified with that they just said "Since I belong to this group that does such and such Im automatically credited for doing those things even though I never really personally did them myself...."
Same with "revival"...
You can sit around waiting on the right sermon to be preached...the right song to be sung...the right youth leader to be hired...but what really matters is what we do as individuals...God doesnt grade on the curve...it will never be about what someone else did or didnt do but what YOU *me* did or didnt do.
