    5/17/08: Can We Live Without Revival?

    The topic of revival continues to be very hot in the Church today, and having just returned from a day in Wales at the end of my England trip, I am freshly stirred about the power and possibilities of revival. But there are some who say that revival does more harm than good and that, in the end, revival is not really worth it. We take up that topic today! After you listen to the broadcast, I’d love to hear your thoughts here.

      Can we live without revival? God forbid. The first two lines of the Lord’s Prayer make the quest for revival an imperitive. “Revival” is the forsaking the life the world for the life of God and ought to be the major characteristic of the regenerate beleiver.

      Doug, how do the first two lines of the Lord’s prayer connect with revival?

      Also, I’ve never really been involved in a corporate revival, does anybody have testimonies of what it’s like?

      Hi Marcus,

      Thanks for asking.
      Our Father who art in Heaven, halllowed be thy name.
      This is a petition to God the Father that his name be hallowed. An unrepentent person cannot in truth “hallow” the name or person of God. This can only be done with a regenerated heart. If it is being asked of God that his name be hallowed in the life of the petitioner there is also the universal character of the request that The Name be hallowed in the whole earth.
      The same principle is applicable in asking; Thy Kingdom come. This prayer in earnest is a prayer for revival.

      Matt, As for discovering “A Christian Ditty,” I’d suggest going back and reviewing my entry in this blog, listed as of Oct 2nd at 1:04
      AM. Truth does not need defending, it stands in its own regard. It can be commented upon, for certain, but does not require constant reinterpretation by oral tradition to be, in fact, truth.

      The beauty of the Messiah’s truth is that it is tempered by grace, until That Day.
