From the Pastor's Desk--True Revival

from today's bulletin. . .

We hear much about revival these days, but the heart of revival is the Lordship of Christ. A mere emotional upheaval, a spurt of religious excitement, is not revival. When Christians become convicted of rebellion against the rule of Christ in their lives, confess their sins, renounce self, take the cross and let Jesus have the first and last word in everything, that is revival, by whatever name you call it.

The I AM who said to Abraham that "Sarah thy wife shall have a son" when she had 90 years old and elsewhere "Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee" when he had no parcel in this country is the same yesterday, today and forever. When the God of all flesh said something, as it is already done.
And it is written:
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12
