Concerning Revival and Awakening

sermonindex Mar 22, 2005

Hi Saints at SI, I recieved this email and thought I would share it with you all for your purusal as the Spirit of God leads you, I have not had time to review it fully so I am not in full agreement with the pdf article attached but I am sure there is alot in it that will be a blessing:Dear Sermon Index & WRT Books,Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones, widely acclaimed as one ofBritain?s greatest preachers in the 20th century, putit this way: ?The concealing, and neglect of certaintruths, and certain aspects of Christian truth, hasalways been the chief characteristic of every periodof declension [decline] in the long history of theChurch.? He went on to say, ?No revival has ever beenknown in the history of the churches which deny orignore certain essential truths. While these truthsare denied, or are neglected, or ignored, we have noright to expect the blessing of revival.? Out of concern for true revival and to awaken thesleeping dead within the Church and to hopefully bringabout a more complete understanding to what genuinebiblical salvation is, I wrote the article ?Do WeTruly Understand What Biblical Salvation Is?? Itcould just as well have been entitled ?BiblicalSalvation and the State of the Church?, because of thewarnings I felt compelled to add at the end of thearticle. Already, it has been well received by several people. One example comes from a staff member of a radioministry who wrote me and said, ?Nancy (Leigh DeMoss)deeply appreciated your article on genuine salvation. She asked me to express to you that she greatly sharesyour burden, and does address this from time to timeon 'Revive Our Hearts' (ministries). She hasn?t atthis time ever done a whole series on it, but plans toat some point. Would you be willing to give herpermission to possibly quote from your article at somepoint, either on the radio or in print?? I gladlygranted her permission. I only wish that there weremore Christians that felt as Nancy does about thisissue.I truly hope that you would be interested in reviewingthis attached article and sincerely considering themeaning of the message and blessing within its pages.Humbly in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ,Terry Johnson--- To download the attached salvation file click below:Do WeTruly Understand What Biblical Salvation Is??

Tripped over this in the travels this morning and, along with Greg, haven't had a chance to fully explore it...yet.But it did grab my attention as thought's and expressions of late have been drawing back to and getting back towards revival. Something in the chewing of the cud...Why I am praying for revival?Because for a blessed change it would be entirely without the creature help even if He choose to use them, just purely God Himself.In the words of Duncan Campbell;"When God stepped down...What was that? Revival? Revival!Not of evangelist's, not of special effort, not anything at all organized on the basis of human endeavor. But an awareness of God that gripped the whole community so much so that work stopped.God was at work."Mr. Campbell something wonderful has happened. Revival has broken out." My dear people do you good folk understand what revival means? Have you a conception of what it means to see God working? The God of miracles. Sovereign, supernatural.Moving in the midst of men and hundreds swept into the Kingdom.Oh that we might see it, that we might see it.The Revival Hymn (high-quality)
