Quotes from the article:
"Often men have acted as though one has to choose between reformation and revival. Some call for reformation, others for revival, and they tend to look at each other with suspicion…. But reformation and revival do not stand in contrast to one another; in fact, both words are related to the concept of restoration. Reformation speaks of a restoration to pure doctrine, revival of a restoration in the Christian’s life. Reformation speaks of a return to the teachings of Scripture, revival of a life brought into proper relationship to the Holy Spirit…. The great moments in church history have come when these two restorations have occurred simultaneously. There cannot be true revival unless there has been reformation, and reformation is incomplete without revival. " Francis Schaeffer
“So you’ve got the corner on orthodox faith. Great. Show me how that’s going to heal my marriage. Show me how that’s going to remove depression and shame out of my life. To engage with a broken city, orthodoxy alone doesn’t cut it. You also need power.” Dihan Lee
“The Cross needs to be preached. The Cross, the suffering, is the way of renewal. It’s where man is transformed.” Oscar Merlo
“The cracks are starting to appear, though, and there is a sense of God’s redemptive movement breaking out." Joshua Ryan Butler
'Lord, send a God-centered Christ-centered Spirit-empowered sovereign revival, please! It's the only hope for Japan!'
