REPENTANCE;
CHURCH: CONCEPT OF GOD; GOD: HIS AWESOMENESS

Why is it we no longer find any sorrow, any tears of repentance in our church life? It is because we do not get the right start as Christians. We do not begin with a vision of the awesome God.

We do not start right because we are jockeyed, cajoled, coaxed, kidded and sometimes pushed into the kingdom of God. We do not have tears because we do not have true repentance. We do not have a higher spirituality because we did not begin right.…

All of our Christian church denominations that have had great ministries for Christ began with the recognition of God’s greatness. God’s might and His wise sovereignty were the bedrock upon which their effective Christian witness was founded. Humbled by that concept, they became great.
