Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one's will to God in deep humility.

When there is no offense I make no defense.

Why will God's creatures sin against his throne? Can there be such madness in beings gifted with reason's light?

He that winneth souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30) - Those are the best educated ministers, who win the most souls.

There is a fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom, which is founded in love. There is also a slavish fear, which is a mere dread of evil, and is purely selfish.

A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience.
