Much Is at Stake, Part 2

In my previous blog, I talked very briefly about some of the reasons my Twitter followers gave for people not pursuing God for revival.

After four decades of revival ministry, I'm convinced that the most persistent objections are not usually based on external factors, but are driven by internal matters of the heart. Fueled by various forms of pride, we decide that we just "don't want to go there." The risks associated with honesty, humility, surrender, obedience, brokenness, repentance, and confession seem to outweigh any reward. Or so we think.

Even in Wintertime, It's Summer in These Hearts

If you think hearts that have grown cold cannot experience new life, take a minute to read the following first-person accounts from a recent Life Action summit. If you are someone who prays for God to pour out His life-changing power on our nation, these will encourage you greatly!

I Can’t. It Is Not In Me.

As a child, the phrase "I can't" was taboo. My parents' intent was admirable. They simply wanted me to tackle difficult tasks, hoping the net result would be self-confidence.
