Anyone who has listened to my radio and television broadcasts from the late 1970s through the late 1990s, and anyone who has heard me preach in person, knows that a singular theme runs through my ministry. That theme is “revival.”
Revival means a coming alive again, or breathing new life into a person, a church, a nation, or the world. Such times have been well-documented throughout history. Today, we desperately need another great outpouring of God’s Spirit to heal our land.
It’s my belief that if pastors all across America would read accounts of past instances of revival, they would become motivated to urge the people in their congregations to begin praying for revival. And, that’s the subject of my most recent Podcast No. 214.
If you would like to hear more and capture the flavor of what I’m suggesting, then I invite you to click the link on this page that will take you to my Sermon-Coach.com website. Once your web browser arrives on that site, I invite you to click the link to listen to this particular Podcast.
In the past, I’ve sometimes been accused of being a “Johnny One Note”—someone who persists in talking about the same subject over and over again. I am willing to plead guilty to that charge, as long as my accusers are willing to admit that the subject of revival is a topic worth repeating until people genuinely capture the vision of what such a movement of God might be like.
After you listen to this Podcast, see if you don’t agree with me at how important the subject of revival should be to the people in our churches.
For quite a few weeks now, I’ve shared with you about my new book entitled The Sermon Sucking Black Hole—Why You Can’t Remember on Monday What Your Minister Preached on Sunday. This book is scheduled for release in early May. In the meantime, you may pre-order the book at Amazon.com by clicking here.
This book gives information about how to make your sermons memorable. And, it also gives some solid tips to the people sitting in the congregation to help them remember what you’ve said.
