Revival? Revive Us!

Ah, revival. There have been moments in history where entire cultures came back to God at once. During John and Charles Wesley's era, for example, or via revivalists like Charles Finney. Even recently, we saw Billy Graham awaken the hearts of people all over the world.

It's like a pendulum swing as culture turns their back on God, then returns to him. The ancient Israelites are a great example of this back and forth, back and forth.

Nowadays, we Christians find ourselves in this situation. Churches all over the country have closed their doors, and those which remain open are dismally empty.

“Will you be angry with us forever?” This question resonates with me. What will be the impact of our culture's decision to turn from God? When will he put away his indignation, and when will he bring revival back to our land?

The ‘fear’ of God, the respect and awe which causes a person to approach Him with humilty and reverence, well this is something sadly missing today.

Let's join together, let's turn our hearts back to God! When we do, we'll see peace come upon our land! We'll see our land become prosperous and good!

Let's unite in purpose! Let's become the church again! Not full of judgement, anger, selfishness, seeking after wealth, but instead seeking first his kingdom. Then the Lord will give what is good and the land will yeild its increase.

Amen?
