End time Revival

I don't know about an Endtime Revival. I think its something to hope for and to shoot for, but until we find the key to an outpouring of the Holy Ghost, Pentecost or Azusa style, we'll come up short.

The fact is... lets be honest now, who among us really want it enough? I've said it on here before, and I'll say it again. To have an Acts 2:4 experience, we'll need an Acts 1:14 experience. Before we can get to Joel 2:28, we'll have to experience Joel 2:12.

And, going back to Acts 1 and 2, the disciples were united before, during, and after Pentecost. Folks, we just ain't there yet. Unity is the key. Mention "unity" and you're branded a "heretic", a "compromiser" and an "ecumenentist" (sorry for the spelling). I know... I've been called all that and worse. But "unity" was the gist of Jesus' prayer in John 17, and if we are to survive as God's church, "unity" must be what we strive for.

Ok if unity is more important than truth, faith, or holiness exactly WHAT should we be unified around?
