When Do We Need Revival?

• ... when we do not love Him as we once did.
• ... when earthly interests and occupations are more important to us than eternal ones.
• ... when we would rather watch TV and read secular books and magazines than read the Bible and pray.
• ... when church dinners are better attended than prayer meetings.
• ... when concerts draw bigger crowds than prayer meetings.
• ... when we have little or no desire for prayer.
• ... when we would rather make money than give money.
• ... when we put people into leadership positions in our churches who do not meet scriptural qualifications.
• ... when our Christianity is joyless and passionless.
• ... when we know truth in our heads that we are not practicing in our lives.
• ... when we make little effort to witness to the lost.
• ... when we have time for sports, recreation and entertainment, but not for Bible study and prayer.
• ... when we do not tremble at the Word of God.
• ... when preaching lacks conviction, confrontation, and divine fire and anointing.
• ... when we seldom think thoughts of eternity.
