Mar 22, 2024 · Revival is the glimpse of a hot flicker of light called paradise. It is the first note of a song called heaven. Revival is beautiful because it is the briefest image of life under King Jesus. Revival can also be ugly because there are other powers that do not take kindly to our gentle Lord’s strength.
Mar 2, 2024 · It’s the Source of revival we really want. We long for the Life that gives us life, sustains our life, and renews our life — that in Christ, by his Spirit, we might “be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19).

John Piper. Founder & Teacher, Desiring God. Many have heard of the Great Welsh Revival of 1904-1905. It touched all classes and ages. Newspapers kept tally as the churches swelled with new converts—over 100,000 in one six-month period. In Cardiff police reported a 60% decrease in drunkenness and 40% fewer people in jail at the New Year of 1905.
