One cannot deny that the Church is in dire need of revival. But the emotionally driven invitation that most Churches advertise does not take hold in the heart of each Christian.What does true, Biblical revival look like?Like Elijah, many people in the church today look for God in earthquakes, fire, wind, and the shattering of rocks. They believe themselves to be the only ones not defiled. They are too busy looking at the loud and flashy things in the church to notice they have not given up themselves to God.Whisper Revival evaluates the state of our times and the attitude necessary for a Church community to truly experience the moving power of God's mercy. It is only in the quiet of each person's heart that the transformation so desperately needed in the Church can take place.
It is easy to call oneself a disciple of Jesus, but quite difficult to take his directive to Peter seriously: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross." (Mt. 16:24)Churches today often preach a gospel of self-fulifillment, or, just as dangerously, they prescribe intense lists and regulations for denying self. These only produce false humility, self-righteousness, or despair.True denial of self is simply giving the lordship of our body over to Jesus. 101 Ways to Deny Self offers practical suggestions for anyone who wishes to become a disciple of Jesus. While these biblical ways to deny self are written here for your practical consideration, it is only the Holy Spirit who can truly guide one to properly deny self.
"Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2:11It is easy to sit in the comfort of one''s own righteousness and bemoan how every other revival, denomination, and ministry is preaching the wrong gospel. But who, then, is doing it right? Perhaps we are asking the wrong question. God allows delusion in the church so that each of us can be truly humble. Unless we repent by hating our own life and suffering with Christ, the comfort of our righteousness will never save us.Insanity in the Church takes an honest look at the church today, shifting the conversation from blame to self-reflection so that we can truly hope for salvation.
