REVELATION, NOT EXPLANATION
As I said, if our faith is conditioned on understanding everything, we’ll never believe. God often provides no explanation for his ways. Instead, he gives us a revelation of his character. God let Job know that his Redeemer lived, even in the darkest days of his suffering, and assured Job that he would stand victoriously […]

Asbury revival in 1970
Many revivals have been orderly and free of excessive affectations. During the Asbury revival in 1970, college students testified and worshipped for 185 straight hours, but the services were orderly, and students politely waited their turn to testify. Charles Spurgeon experienced almost continuous revival in his church, and yet services were peaceable and focused on […]

Does God Change?
They tell us that the Bible is the Word of God—a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. They tell us that we shall find in it the knowledge of God and of his will for our lives. We believe them; rightly, for what they say is true. So we take our […]

Asbury set the pattern
I am thoroughly convinced that a great spiritual awakening will come to this benighted world if the people of God will deny themselves of sleep and seek God in the peaceful hours of the morning. It is my firm conviction that the great Asbury revival set the pattern to be followed in order to have […]

What Does Revival Look Like?
Many people have preconceived ideas of what revival looks like when it comes. Here are three examples: Some people see revival as a well-planned series of services. After much prayer and personal preparation, God’s people gather to hear anointed preaching. Under that preaching, conviction comes, and people respond with broken and contrite hearts and return […]

THE ANSWER BEHIND ALL OTHER ANSWERS
Job was another man of faith who had a lot of questions for God, questions he thought deserved answers. And God eventually answered him, just not like Job expected. He answered by asking Job some questions of his own: Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? . . . What is the way to the abode […]

Henry Blackaby on Asbury Revival
God said, “Return to Me, and I will return to you” (Mal. 3:7). How can you know when God is bringing revival? You will know you have truly returned to God when God draws near to you (James 4:8). The Asbury revival was described this way: “It was as if the campus had been suddenly […]

Asbury Revisited
On the surface, Wilmore, Kentucky (population 3,200), is still a sleepy little college town tucked in rolling farmland fifteen miles southwest of Lexington. Yet many of its people are said to have changed in the past year. As Dr. Clarence Hunter, professor of religion and philosophy at Asbury College, puts it: “We just feel the […]

Do we come to God to get or to give?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR WORSHIP? The modern revolt against old-fashioned Christian Hedonism has killed the spirit of worship in many churches and many hearts. The widespread notion that high moral acts must be free from self-interest is a great enemy of true worship. Worship is the highest moral act a human can perform; so […]

Historically What Role Have Young People Played in Revival?
A fascinating issue related to revival is the involvement of young people. Many of the revival preachers, such as John Wesley, George Whitefield, Charles Finney, and Evan Roberts, were young men when God used them. Numerous great movements of God occurred on college campuses such as Yale, Howard Payne University, Wheaton College, and Asbury College.26 […]
