"REVIVAL"--------?

The term "revival" is a term that encapsulates all that we as Apostolics are striving to obtain. We are all guilty, I'm sure, of using this term loosely without really comprehending the brevity of it. After all, we are talking about the souls of men, women, boys and girls that are on a path leading them to an eternal destination. I am reminded on a daily basis how that we truly are in need of "revival". I look into the frightened eyes of the stranger that passes by and wonder if there is anything that I can say or do. I feel the rage and pain in the person standing next to me and again I wonder if there is anything that I can do. You drive by them as much as the next person and you see the hollow, far off stare and I'm sure you wonder if there is anything that you can do. What a question.............what can you do? I'm not sure that anyone has the answers to these gripping questions. Will a week of scheduled services change the look in their eyes and the destination of their tortured soul? Will your hour on Saturday turn the course of that wandering spirit? After all, that is "revival"...... right? If this is so, then I ask you this sobering question. Why is that man you see every day still standing on the side of the street with the same hollow stare he had last year? If this is true, why is your neighbor still guzzling his adult beverages with the same ferocity he always has? I know it makes us uncomfortable to think that just maybe someone might spend eternity without God because we only had 2 or 3 of our scheduled "revivals". God please help us with our lack of understanding.

Tune in tomorrow..................... I have some ideas.
