Revival Begins with the Church

Revival is not about "them" outside the church. It is about us in the church--at least in the beginning.

“Revivals begin with God's own people; the Holy Spirit touches their heart anew, and gives them new fervour and compassion, and zeal, new light and life, and when He has thus come to you, He next goes forth to the valley of dry bones…Oh, what responsibility this lays on the Church of God! If you grieve Him away from yourselves, or hinder His visit, then the poor perishing world suffers sorely!” (Andrew A. Bonar).

Are wee seeking revival?
