Most Americans worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.

Christian Life
A Spiritual Awakening – Lewis Drummond
A spiritual awakening is no more than God’s people seeing God in His holiness, turning from their wicked ways, and being transformed into His likeness.

The Irish Revival of 1859 – Oswald J. Smith
In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God. … To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.

The Great Sweeping Revivals of the Past – Leonard Ravenhill
I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” and I said, “No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!”

No Change, No Revival – Al Whittinghill
We want Him [Jesus] as long as He doesn’t change what we like. But any person not open to change is NOT open to revival.

Jesus Set Us An Example – Matthew Henry
Though he had so much work to do with others, yet He [Jesus] chose sometimes to be alone, to set us an example.

The Loyalty of the Soldier is Proved in Battle – Martin Luther
If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.

My Hiding Place – Corrie Ten Boom
