The following list appeared on Steve Camp's "get-under-your-skin", excellent blog, Audience One. Something to think about and act upon...
There are a few things that historically and biblically mark or accompany true reformation and revival:
- Conviction, contrition, and confession of sin
- Repentance that is more notorious than ones transgressions
- Prayer that is urgent and unceasing
- Renewed loving of, long for, obedience to, and craving of God's Word
- Uncompromised preaching and teaching of God's Word
- Recovery of boldness in proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
- Refutation and correcting of aberrant teaching, skewed doctrine, and theological error
- Worship that is unfeigned in spirit and truth
- And finally, authentic evangelism - lasting regeneration, a heavenly work by the Spirit of God
