189 days until the Greenock, Scotland Revival Conference
Christians have a tendency to go to extremes. Either they are so very harsh on sinners that they drive them away – or else they are so “soft” in their dealing with sin that they make a mockery out of the whole thing.
Sinners are bad enough, but what have I done, what have you done – in prayer, in fastings, in loving your neighbor as yourself – to get them saved? Have I professed to love their souls, and then by my irritability “cut off their ears” (Luke 22:50) so that they will not at all listen to my testimony?
Do I really care for the souls of men and women and boys and girls? Or am I making some sort of a hypocritical make-believe out of my duty to be a witness for the Lord? These questions will face us at the Judgment – better get them settled now! God help us!
If we are filled with the Holy Spirit we will care for souls. If we are filled with the Spirit we will pray for souls.
As we humble ourselves, and pray, and seek the face of the Lord, He will show us the “wicked ways,” in us, the things in our life, in our conduct, in our attitudes and reactions which are grieving the Holy Spirit and blocking the way to revival.
It is so easy to find the flaw in another Christian. It is so easy to locate what we think is the blockade that hinders revival – the blockade which we are sure is holding things up – and it is almost always something in another Christian which we think is the hindrance. Oh, what a trick of the devil! -W.C. Moore
