God's solution may not fit our ideas.

REFORMATION - NOT Just REVIVAL by Andrew Strom

Of course, I have written on this theme before. (My first book in
1996 was "The Coming Great Reformation"). But recently I have sensed God reminding me again that unless there is massive "shaking" and change in the church - then any 'move' that comes will not achieve what He desires. Some people simply want a return to repentance preaching and holiness in the churches. They just want an old-fashioned 'Revival'. That is a laudable aim - and one that I personally love - but it is not enough. In fact, it is nowhere near enough.

The fact is, Reformations are far messier, more contentious and
immensely more "shaking" than Revivals. They tend to target pet
doctrines, ingrained cultures and structures that the church has
been clinging to for years. They bring massive disruption and
division. They force people to "choose sides".
