Restoration, Revival, and Revolution! Written by Wendell E. Hutchins II Saturday, 14 April 2007

http://www.newchurchorder.com/images/stories/w_hutchins_104.jpgThe Church is designed to be a place of restoration, because restoration is a prelude to a manifested revival and revival is the change element of revolution – it’s the enginery by which the wheel becomes the middle of the wheel through apostolic order and apostolic government.

Wow!

And no comments? I was just going to start a similar thread, but I didn't have an article to include. This says it better than I could have.

Well the article is talking about....ok yeah I see it. Without what was inside my brain it kind of drops dead.

I was going to start a thread about restoration. What does it mean, how does it work, scriptures. This article kind of touched on some of what I was thinking. Specifically restoration as a prelude, or part of, revival.

I've decided restoration must mean something a little different to each person, but there has to be a universal meaning too, doesn't there?

I'm not doing too well at putting my thoughts in here. I'm mostly just completely overwhelmed thinking about restoration and all of the implications of that. Maybe I should have stuck with my own thread vs bumping an old article.

Actually, I confess that I read more of your post than I did the article above, thank you for the Reader's Digest version.

I agree with you that because everyone's situation is different, then the method of restoration also has to be different. Being restored to a park bench is awesome for the man who started there.

I think also because of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we can only know restoration through that avenue. No one on the face of the planet can look at me (well maybe my wife) and make a definitive estimation the extent to which I have been, or conversely NEED, restoration.
