When I hear a pastor go on about revival; wanting to see God move, wanting to see multitudes saved, wanting the excitement of genuine revival, it makes me feel like he doesn't care about us who are there already. Maybe, if you want to see the exciting days of revival, you should go pioneer a new church and start over.
When we were born again we were changed. God made us new creatures in Christ. Since then our human nature has kicked in and we find that once we are saved, we become resistant to change. We want things to stay familiar. We reminisce about how things used to be. We miss the good old days. And we resist change.
God promises to make all things new. But that is in the future. A new heaven, a new earth, new Jerusalem, and new existence with Jesus in eternity.
I go to church to hear what the Lord might say to me. Sometimes hearing is easy. Other times I have to work hard to hear anything.
Enduring to the end is where some of us are today. It's not always exciting, but nevertheless, we endure.
