By: Dr. Terry Ellis Executive Editor & President "Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?" (Psalm 85:6) Our theme at Rock of Ages Ministries for 2019 is Revival. It is the great need of the hour for our generation. At the request of my staff and pastors where I have preached “Hindrances To Revival” I am publishing an outline of the message in this quarter’s magazine. I pray God uses it to challenge you concerning our nation's need for revival. May God use it to change your personal walk with the Lord. HINDRANCES TO REVIVAL REVIVAL - Return, recall or recovery to life from death or apparent death; return or recall to activity from a state of languor, neglect, carelessness; awakening of men to spiritual concerns (1828 Webster). C.H. Spurgeon, “The word revive is from the Latin, and may be interpreted thus to live again, to receive again a life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished.” The term “revival” is not used in the Bible, but “revive” is used many times - Revival is not an evangelistic campaign; it is the restoring to life of believers and churches that have previously experienced the life of God - but who have become cold, worldly and ineffective - Revival will later affect unbelievers. Revival cannot be organized, for it is given by our Sovereign God when He sees fit and in answer to prayer.” (Word of Life Encyclopedia) America has more Bibles, churches, and preachers than any other nation. So, why are we not experiencing Revival? 1. DISTRACTIONS And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. 1 Corinthians 7:35 Attend – To set well towards, diligent service. This is the only place where the word is used in the Bible. Distractions - Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) defines distraction as follows: … a drawing apart; separation. 2. That which diverts attention; a diversion. 3. A diversity of direction; detachment. (obs.) 4. State in which the attention is called in different ways; confusion; perplexity… This generation of Christians are busier than ever. In fact, they are so busy that they cannot seem to fit God into their schedules. We are Distracted by our… a. Hurts (Absalom & Amnon with Tamar) b. Family issues (Joseph and his brothers) c. Feelings d. Worldly cares (Man who purchased land, another bought five oxen, and one married a wife) e. Money (Rich young ruler) f. Opportunities g. Media of all types h. Relationships (Aholah & Aholibah) i. Hobbies and Activities j. Sin For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:16 Fall 2019 | Rock of Ages Magazine | Page 3
