What Could Change with Revival?

The list reads like a modern-day soap opera: a parent's adultery, haunting doubt, a spouse's string of affairs, addictions, womanizing, loneliness, depression, bitterness, spouse abuse, divorce, failing in leadership, mental and emotional abuse, failure to meet personal responsibilities, lust, temptation, unforgiving spirit, marriage and family out of control, victimization by murder . . .

The above isn't the product of some secular writer's keyboard; it's a list of genuine, specific concerns written down for one of our teams recently as they opened a summit . . . in a church that's probably a lot like many of ours.

Fifty Express Need for Genuine Salvation

Why would a person who has never come to salvation through Christ bother to keep up the outward appearance of being a Christian? Why would such an individual serve as a Sunday school teacher, deacon, pastor, or pastor’s wife?
