Neither is it the result of sensational advertising. Here is the vast difference between our modern evangelistic campaigns and true revival. In the former, hundreds may be brought to a knowledge of Christ, and churches experience seasons of blessings, but as far as the community is concerned little impact is made. The taverns, dance halls, and movies are still crowded, and godliness marches on. In revival, the Spirit of God sweeps through the community like a flame.
Divine conviction grips people everywhere.
