RENEWAL

Charles Finney, one of the greatest of all of God’s men throughout the years, testified that in the midst of his labors and endeavors in bringing men to Christ, he would at times sense a coldness in his own heart.

Finney did not excuse it. In his writings he told of having to turn from all of his activities, seeking God’s face and Spirit anew in fasting and prayer.

“I plowed up until I struck fire and met God,” he wrote. What a helpful and blessed formula for the concerned children of God in every generation!
