“Can’t God bring revival?” Yes, He can. However (I’m no prophet nor the son of a prophet) it’s not going to happen. I hope I’m wrong. I want to be wrong. But based upon how God, in the Bible, dealt with nations in the past, I don’t see a different outcome for us.
God's Sovereignty
Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats
Why is it that believers these days don’t know the names of some of the greatest preachers and missionaries of previous generations? Because… these men’s preaching and writings would condemn much of what passes for preaching today. If these men came back today and heard the average preaching in most Christian and Messianic congregations, they would toss the preachers out of the pulpit. Then, after everybody recovered from that, they would commence to preaching in such away that it would clear out the chaff from the wheat!
Quit You Like Men
In this verse Paul (who is politically gender insensitive by today’s standards) is telling the Corinthian men to … act like men of God, God’s men. How do we define what it is to be a man of God? What is our mind suppose to envision? Wonder what examples Paul would have used when reenforcing his call for men to be God’s men?
Perhaps … Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Joshua?
