The coming of revival
The coming of revival in our time will demand personal preparation among God’s people. Jeremiah said, “Thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘Break up your fallow ground and do not sow among thorns’” (Jer. 4:3). We must sow our seed in anticipation of a harvest. We must sow with […]

When Revival Comes
Revival may come through weeping and wailing, tears and praying, sackcloth and ashes, but the ultimate result is joy. “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” (Psalm 85:6). When revival has come, the people of God rejoice in their God and there is renewed joy in worship, work, and […]

Misconceptions Concerning Revival
As we look at the critical subject of revival, we must consider some key issues and address some common misunderstandings if we are to understand what Scripture teaches about revival. We will identify some of these here, but we will take the remainder of the book to address them in greater detail. Revival Can Be […]

We don’t want revival
We don’t want revival. The churches don’t want it; the members don’t want it. Very few pastors even want a genuine, heaven-sent revival. We like things the way they are. After all, revival means change, and we don’t want change. We’re too comfortable with the way things are at present. By revival, I mean an […]

Self-centered worship
If the focus shifts onto our giving to God, instead of His giving Himself to us, one result is that subtly it is not God who remains at the center but, instead, the quality of our giving. Are we singing worthily of the Lord? Are our instrumentalists playing with quality fitting a gift to the […]

What is revival?
Seeking to understand revival is like attempting to comprehend the Trinity. We cannot fathom the triune nature of God because He is divine and we are not. People display supreme human arrogance when they insist they will not accept the gospel claims until they understand the nature and work of God to their satisfaction. Such […]

Do we want revival?
IN THE 1970s we almost saw a sweeping revival in our land. The revival at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, impacted not only that school but also hundreds of churches across the country. We stood on the precipice of what could have been another awakening. Bible conferences and revival meetings were extended, sometimes lasting three […]

Revivals in the Bible
We have now put four things in place: God has a people, God has certain expectations of his people, God’s people have every reason to live up to his expectations, and God’s people often fail to live up to his expectations. If we had to leave it there, we would be enveloped with gloom. But, […]

God has incarnated himself again
When it was time for him to leave the earth, Jesus said that his friends were lucky, because then the Holy Spirit could come and form a new community. Although his bodily presence was leaving the earth, this new community would become Jesus’ new body—“the body of Christ”—through which his presence would get extended. Because […]

The Evidence for the resurrection
The seventh and final reason I believe in Jesus’ resurrection is that the evidence for it is convincing and reasonable. There is intellectual, historical, verifiable evidence. I will not throw my brains in the trash to believe, and you do not have to either. In a courtroom, for a case to win, it must be […]
