We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We say we want revival…but on our terms. Sadly, we pray: 1. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if You promise in advance to do things the way we have always done them in our church.” 2. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if I have some sort of prior guarantee that when You show up you won’t embarrass me.” 3. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if Your work of revival is one that I can still control, one that preserves intact the traditions with which I am comfortable.” 4. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if Your work of revival is neat and tidy and dignified and understandable and above all else socially acceptable.” 5. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if You plan to change others; only if You make them to be like me; only if You convict their hearts so they will live and dress and talk like I do.” 6. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if You let us preserve our distinctives and retain our differences from others whom we find offensive.”

Sam Storms

1. A losing our first love – When iniquity abounds, the love of many waxes cold (Rev 2:4; Mat 24:12). The affections get dull and blunted. 2. Losing the edge of our conscience – The conscience ceases to be sensitive and tender. It does not shrink from sin as it used to do. 3. Callousness as to truth – We get so familiarized with truth that it ceases to affect us. It loses its power over us. 4. Insensibility to sin – Our own evils are not felt as they used to be; sin itself is not so hated and shunned as formerly.
