Church Revival - Just Do It!

Dale Wise, the Preaching Minister at First Christian Church in Sullivan, Indiana has written this article after completing a revival at his church. Here is an exerpt from his article:
I began to hear rumors about how revivals were no longer effective. "People are so busy," preachers would say. "If we tried to have a revival, the church would be empty. It would be embarrassing."

But I really like the book of Acts. "The Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved" (2:47). "Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ" (5:42).

I have been praying for revival for the global Church and for our local church congregation, but sometimes the old fashioned way is just what the Great Physician ordered!
