Revival in the Old Testament

Revival in the Old Testament

Is revival biblical? Are there examples of it in Scripture? The Old Testament, even though it precedes Pentecost, still has many instances we can look to and learn from where God wonderfully works and revives His church.

Revival in the New Testament

Revival in the New Testament

Our contributors continue to highlight examples of revivals in the Bible, this time in the New Testament. The greatest of these is Pentecost, a revival which is in some ways unique and unrepeatable, but at the same time is the key paradigm for revivals throughout church history.

Thomas Boston

Bill Hughes introduces the life of Thomas Boston (1676-1732). Ministering in the remote village of Ettrick in Scotland for 25 years, Boston is a shining example of steadfast perserverance in times of spiritual dryness, which was greatly blessed by God with abundant fruit during his latter days, and even after his death.

The Second Great Awakening

William Vandoodewaard introduces the Second Great Awakening in the United States, a movement sadly marked by more carnal excess than the First Great Awakening, but also tremendous fruitfulness, both in conversions and in the birth of the global 19th Century Missionary Movement

Charles Finney

Charles Finney

Charles Finney (1792-1875) was a 19th Century revivalist who was heavily influenced by Pelagian theology from the 1st Century. He believed that if certain techniques and methods were used, God could be persuaded to send revival and people could be manipulated into becoming Christians. His approach is still prevalent today throughout the world, and has done much harm in giving people a false sense of spiritual assurance.

The 1904 Revival in Wales

The 1904 Revival in Wales

Wales has known countless revivals throughout the centuries, but the 1904 Revival is arguably the most well-known because of its far reaching legacy, both in Wales and around the world, and because its effects still linger in the lives of godly men and women today, including Geoff Thomas. As with the 1859 Revival in Wales, there was carnal excess, particuarly in the ministry of Evan Roberts, but there was also longlasting fruit through many godly ministers up and down the land, and 100,000 were added to the church.

Revival and Revivalism

Revival and Revivalism

What is revivalism, and how does it differ from true revival? Our contributors discuss the misconceptions of revival, that it can be manufactured and manipulated or that it is primarily about more emotion and excitement, and they emphasise the importance of the sovereignty of God, the Word of God, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the evidences of true conversion.

Why has God often used Young Men in the History of Revival?

Why has God often used Young Men in the History of Revival?

Sinclair Ferguson and Gwyn Davies speak about why young men are so often used in times of revival, and why these same men who continue in godly ministry into their latter years sometimes don’t experience the same degree of blessing as they did when they were younger.

Is it too Dark Today for Revival?

Is it too Dark Today for Revival?

Is there any hope for today? Is society too far gone? We are encouraged to remember that, throughout Scripture and church history, it’s often been in the darkest times that God has poured out His Spirit in revival. Because God is the same God today as in the days of the Psalms, or Pentecost, or the Reformation, or the Great Awakening, then revival can be prayed for today with hope.

Praying for Revival

Praying for Revival

Our contributors conclude by speaking about the importance of longing and praying for revival. Why should we pray for it and how should we pray for it? Throughout church history we see that wherever God sends revival, He first sends a sprirt of prayer to His people.
