ALTERNATIVES TO REVIVAL

One of the most frequent questions asked me these days is this: "What changes do you see in our evangelism today from what it was when you went into the field twenty-five years ago?" There are several changes that should be obvious to even a casual observer. For one thing, there is a percentage decr... Read More

IT'S REVIVAL WE NEED!

If revival is renewal of right relationship with God and man, if revival is quickening of the Spirit in the hearts of Christians, if revival is replenishing the passion for the lost, if revival is refreshing from the Lord -- then what need could possibly be more urgent than the need for revival? 1. ...

OUR HERITAGE AND OUR HOPE

PREFACE If it is true, as a famous writer has said, that "life becomes a futile thing when it lacks a faith in the high meaning of its origin and the high meaning of its goal," then it is time for Nazarenes everywhere to rediscover the glory and grandeur of their heritage and to rededicate themselve...

PAY THE PRICE OF REVIVAL

Some teen-age boys were tinkering with a car that would no longer run. One said, "I believe the trouble is in the carburetor." Another said, "I believe it's the spark plugs."

REVIVAL AND EVANGELISM

The need to more carefully define what we mean by the words revival and evangelism was never more urgent than now.

THE CRISIS -- IT IS INEVITABLE

I said in my introduction that we were approaching a profound and inevitable crisis in our evangelism. I have mentioned a few of the reasons why the crisis is profound and have suggested a few dimensions of the crisis. Now to the reasons why the crisis is inevitable.

THE PLACE OF REVIVAL IN NAZARENE EVANGELISM

If we can agree, then, that revival is spiritual renewal in the hearts of Christians, and that evangelism is the natural and inevitable response and expression of that renewal, we may discuss more knowingly, I trust, the place of revival in Nazarene evangelism.
