There was an IBM ad in recent months in which employees of a corporation passed around bingo cards during a large company meeting. Their objective was to mark all the meaningless “buzz” words that business leaders used to generate hype among workers for their product. Watching that commercial, I realized that often in Christian circles there is very little difference. We jump and scream and shout over “buzz” words (e.g. revival, anointing, infilling, impartation), though we scarcely have any idea of the meaning these words possess.
This Friday, I want us to Biblically explore the concept of “revival” from the story of King Josiah in 2 Kings 22. We will look to answer some real questions and experience a real move of God.
So I want to invite everyone to come out to Victory AG this Friday, 7:00pm. Here’s the info; hope to see you there:
Date: Friday, April 23, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:15pm
Location: Victory Assembly of God

Great topic and illustration... glad you brought it up.
I might as well say it's interesting how now this applies not only to the older generation... Now it seems we have fallen into the same pattern in a different form.
I think it's things done with good intentions that are the hardest to fix... so we just need this kind of Bible-based reality check.
Also, there's another side to this topic that concerns me all the time... spiritual apathy. But another day for talking about that. Glad you'll be back in town!
