Don, thank you for the points you outlined. For many years I had looked at 1974 as the pivotal point for the Recoveries descent. During these years I was a young child so I lacked the information you are now disclosing. I only knew how I was directly impacted.
Fast forward a good 30 years to our recent past in the last five years...in some local churches the question has been raised how come there hasn't been an increase?
What these points you mention contribute to why there hasn't been an increase among the local churches thus far in the 21st century?
Or has the ministry become such an emphasis for fellowship that it precludes Christians from meeting generally and practically?
