In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered… Continue reading Quoted: Oswald Smith on Revival
Month: December 2008
Quoted: Andrew Murray on Revival and Prayer
The coming revival must begin with a great revival of prayer. It is in the closet, with the door shut, that the sound of abundance of rain will first be heard. An increase of secret prayer with ministers will be the sure harbinger of blessing.
Quoted: Leonard Ravenhill on Great Revival
I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G.

Finney and… Continue reading Quoted: Leonard Ravenhill on Great Revival

Quoted: Nancy Leigh DeMoss on Playing Church
We are playing church. We are so busy trying to be relevant to the world that we have become just like the world….. AND the world is not impressed.

Cultivating a Missions Focus

For some time, I had been trying to think of a way to bring a stronger focus on missions in our church, and one evening a new… Continue reading Cultivating a Missions Focus
Quoted: Leonard Ravenhill on Revival
