Our definition of the gospel will affect if and how we make mature disciples who can make more disciples. Here are two ways having a misinformed definition of the gospel…
Sometimes you have to know what something is in order to know if you have it. Revival is one of those things. For example, sitting through a week of church meetings does not mean you have had revival. Being in a tent meeting with special guest speakers does not guarantee you have experienced revival. However,…
Revival happens personally before it happens corporately. Revival comes to people, not churches. We simply see it better when lots of people in a congregation are experiencing the same commitments to the plans of God at the same time. This is exactly what happened in the Jerusalem Church as recoded in Acts 2. Thousands of…
