Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from page 89:
“God is always wide awake to the needs of His people, especially when they seek Him, depend on Him, declare His grace and truth, and live within His laws and by His power. Over the two millennia that Christianity has graced the earth, great seasons of revival have occurred in which, against all probability, God seemed to have awoken from His slumber and come to His people’s aid once again.
“In their time of need, the [psalmists] looked back to the conquest of Canaan and called upon God to deliver them from their enemies as He had done then. In our time of declining interest in Christian faith, a lack of the reality of faith on the part of church goers, and a practice of Christianity that has been taken captive to forms and philosophies more of worldly than of Biblical origin, we need to call on the Lord to wake up from His slumber – and wake us up from ours! – and revive His people once again.”
For a limited time, you can order Revived! together with a companion book, The Church Captive, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. And you can download a free discussion guide for both books.
