Amen, bro. Raven....
I love the Huntley boys. Great men of God. But, this message fell very short of its promised objective.
There was a heavy emphasis on WHAT WE NEED but frustrated expectations of HOW to have that revival...unless of course, the idea is to juke and jive.
It appears to me that more and more preachers are not so much interested in zeroing in on substantive objectives but more to draw forth enthusiastic responses from appreciative audiences with spiritual rhetoric. It is a shame that so many have now become addicted to audience response. Reminds me of cotton candy...a lot of fluff but very little substance.
He spend almost the entire message in underscoring what he felt the NEED was after defining the differences between Evangelism and Revival but never really answer the question concerning how to have a REVIVAL.
Few would disagree with what the NEED is. I think we all know THAT. But hey...I like to juke and jive too, even though the old bones are a little rusty. There is a certain kind of preaching that will get 'em going everytime...for sure. Some are masters at it.
I just felt you needed another touch from the Lord.
