In my reading today, I came across the following that I wanted to share with you;

The unrevived church is a powerless church. All the results it produces can be explained in terms of natural ability, effort, and energy. The late Dr. J. Edwin Orr, a historian of revival, pointed out, "In the unrevived state of the church, saints go racing to find sinners. But in the revived state of the church, sinners will come racing to find the Savior!"

A lost world cannot help but feel the impact of genuine revival in the church. In fact, virtually every social reform movement, evangelistic thrust, and missionary movement in history have been born out of revival ... The revived church is a church endued with supernatural power from on high. That's why the oft-heart cry of the Welsh Revival was, "Bend the church to save the world."

The book I am reading is Ablaze with His Glory; A Plea for Revival in Our Time. Authored by Del Fehsenfeld Jr., the book jacket says, "But be warned: This isn't just a book that you read — this is a book that reads YOU!"
