My guess is that our next Great Awak\u00aden\u00ading will begin among col\u00adlege stu\u00addents. Col\u00adlege stu\u00addents today are (spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly speak\u00ading) the dri\u00adest tim\u00adber I have ever come across. Most\u00adly they know lit\u00adtle or noth\u00ading about reli\u00adgion; lit\u00adtle or noth\u00ading about Amer\u00adi\u00adcan\u00adism. Most\u00adly no one ever speaks to them about truth and beau\u00adty, or nobil\u00adi\u00adty or hon\u00ador or great\u00adness. They are empty\u2013spiritually bone dry\u2013because no one has ever both\u00adered to give them any\u00adthing spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal that is worth hav\u00ading. Plat\u00adi\u00adtudes about diver\u00adsi\u00adty and tol\u00ader\u00adance and mul\u00adti\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal\u00adism are thin gru\u00adel for intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly grow\u00ading young peo\u00adple.<\/p>\n

Let the right per\u00adson speak to them, and they will turn back to the Bible with an excite\u00adment and exhil\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion that will shake the coun\u00adtry. In read\u00ading the Bible they will feel as if they are going home\u2013which is just what they will be doing. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
