REVIVAL PLANS
:* Any resloution for renewing one’s life in the Spirit re
quires a plan of action. Such a plan must be carried out
both individually and corporately if it is to take effect.
The method used in making u a reality will vary, but if
you belong to a church group that you feel needs re
viving in a religious sense, then here are four areas that
should recieve due consideration in the process of your
planning.
(1) Worship is the first. It must be at the very heart
of Christian action, providing the spirit in which acti
-1 vities are carried out. It is absolutely necessary if we
are to receive the benefit of the guidance of the Holy Spi
rit. Meetings opened with prayer, meals preceded by the
grace, and days begun with prayer, have a much better
chance of receiving the great benefit of His guidance than
others.
(2) Reading and study is the second. This is neglected
f probably more than the first. The joke about the man
| remarking about the book found in hotel rooms by Gideon
bears a significant message. Very few people really know
anything about the message in the Bible, the Old and the
New Testaments, or the relevance of the Holy Writ for our 1
time. We must read and study if we are to- know what
God is really like, not only of the experiences of the He- j
brews as xound in the Old Testament and the early Chris
tians as found in the New Testament, but also of the other
great religions of the world. They too have achieved
significant insights as to what God is like and his pur
> poses for us. For the human being there is a great connec
v tion between the mind and religion. God expects us to use
our minds in loving Him.
T V (3) Participation is the, third. We cannot worship by our
selves, read and study by ourselves, and expect as great a
benefit as we can from doing these things with others
who also seek a renewal of the Spirit, a mending of their
broken relationship with God. Sonde say that they would
rather associate with a few good people outside the Church
rather than to associate with people in the Church, be
cause the latter are so corrupt. This is true in many cases
and I understand such an attitude, but it is in the Church,
where persons seek corporately to know God, that the Holy
Spirit the Comforter as promised by Jesus Christ, is at work.
(4) Action is the fourth. Action must always be the re
sponse of the Christian. After worship, after reading and
study, and after participation, there must be action if
we are to revive our life in the Spirit, renew our broken
relationship with God, create and make new our hearts
and minds.
, It is only when Christian individuals and groups of
Christians corporately work diligently in these areas that
a dynamic Christian fellowship comes into being. This is
the creative process for which our Lord intended us." it is
in this way that we fulfill His purooses for us.
Let us, seriously, ask ourselves three questions:
What is the Church? • '
What does it mean to me? ■■ *
What am I going.to do about it?
God grant iul “the spirit of wisdom” in answering these
questions as He would havens answer them, that we may
be true to ourselves, and true to Him, through Jesus Christ.
