We certainly need to stand against Tyranny once again and defend our freedoms in this nation and the world. There is a need as well for revolution in the church. I would like to share an excerpt from E.M. Bounds Guide to Spiritual Warfare Chapter 6 entitled Satans Subversion in the Church from the section Creating a REvolution. Disguise it as we may; reason about it as we will; apologize for it as we do; the truth is, we have lost the intensity of our personal spiritual experiences. We have lost the deep conviction about eternal things that is an evident feature of all great spiritual movements. Many preachers and others have fallen so low in their spiritual experience that they do not cherish these distinct and strongly spiritual methods. Instead, they are devising plans and organizations to gratify their non-spiritual desires, which are midway between Christ and the world. (I would insert here this is the definition of lukewarmness.) While these desires are not necessarily wrong, they do not possess one grain of spiritual power and can never be the channels of heavenly communication.......Let the revolution begin with the preacher. Let him wrestle with God until his ordination vow becomes revitalized so that everyone can feel the pressure of his goal, the intensity of his zeal, the singleness of his purpose, and the holiness of his life. Let the people catch the fire and purpose of his heart until all press on to the regions of perfect love, panting for all the fullness of God. Under this united, divine inspiration, worldly entertainment will be forgotten and become stale. God is the Alpha (A) and the Omega (Z) the first and the last and everything in between. He is the language of true revolution.
