Revival - or 'Power Shower?'
Adrian's Blog: Spurgeon on Revival
There is much talk on revival. But the word revival implies something different to what we (Christians) mean. It is so true, that our 'revival' is coming, but what does the word really mean? The word revival literally means "an improvement in the condition or strength of something" (Oxford American Dictionary), but what do Christians mean? It becomes much more the idea of thousands of people coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Thousand of NEW people coming to faith. That's not the same. Improvement? REvive? This is a reawakening of something that has lain dormant, not a new faith, new believer joining a once dying church. Revival isn't a powerful enough word. Revival says that backslidden Christian will realise their mistake, the error of their ways and return to the family they belong. We need something so much more powerful. That's right...full of POWER. The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of EVERYONE. That's everyone. Salvation is the greatest miracle, because God commands light to shine in a heart which is full of darkness. God commanded light to shine in the dark when I became a Christian, so a Revival of my heart would say I once was in the position I am now.
Let's lose the word. But keep the attitude.
"And now, at this time, we want to have the old truths restored to their places. The subtleties and the refinements of the preacher must be laid aside. We must give up the grand distinctions of the school-men, and all the lettered technicalities of men who have studied theology as a system, but have not felt the power of it in their hearts; and when the good old truth is once more preached by men whose lips are touched as with a live coal from off the altar, this shall be the instrument, in the hand of the Spirit, for bringing about a great and thorough revival of religion in the land." (Spurgeon; From Pyromaniacs)
What is the difference between a young professional and an OAP if they are both going to the same place? We all belong in the New Jerusalem, our happy home, not the burning sulphur so maybe the revival we need is one of where we all belong, not of one that is a lost and found faith. Let's lose the word but Keep The Attitude. God is the one who saves, and it's time for some of us to forget about words, and concentrate on Him who Saves.
I don't belong here.

I was all about sticking it to the man...Now I am the man...I don't think I can be the man
Famous words of Jack O'Neil. I've been spending the majority of my time watching science-fiction dramas; Heroes and Stargate SG-1. Why? Because I have nothing more important to do. Or I do, and find time in my busy schedule not to do them.
The word of the week is qua. I don't care to divulge what it means.
What I noticed on my way to University this morning was the two rainbows in the sky...hence the picture. What I didn't notice was the thumb in the bottom of the picture. God has a tendency of doing everything just right. At times He will be at the forefront of our lives leading us on into new ventures and complete ease at knowing He is by our side, at others He will step back, and look at how we do without His hand moving us in the right direction. We look back only for Him to reassure us that, regardless of whether we go left or right He'll be right behind us. He has faith in us, which many people miss, and all we have to do is act wanting to please Him and He will honour us because He loves us. Why do I say all this? Because in a year of choices, you want to make the right one. I graduate soon and I have no idea where I should be going (except of course heaven), but God definitely likes to keep me on my toes.
Back to the word of the week, qua means 'in the capacity of'. See if you can use it once this week. I dare you.
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Nobody
Nobody who?
Nobody who?
