H.B. London Jr. Charles G. Finney once offered a list to help determine when a church needs a revival. The list from his revival lectures is timeless. Seldom have great spiritual awakenings come to pastors, churches or countries without intercessory prayer.
Real revival restores an individual and a church to spiritual health and well-being.
For an individual, genuine revival enables him to live out his faith in the daily details of life. It stirs a congregation and challenges and empowers us to live out the radical demands of Christianity in every phase of life inside and outside the church. Well-known author and speaker Charles Colson has an idea. With eloquent language and compelling illustrations, he reminds readers of basic biblical principles that are easily obscured in our materialistic society.
