We need people who are ready to ‘go everywhere preaching the Word’ and to ‘turn the world upside down’. We need serious, practical Christianity. We need revival.

And may it start in my own life! God keep me from ever implicitly living some kind of “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism”. May Christ live in me.”

I couldn’t agree more.
Amen!!!!!

I must be slipping…

Actually, though, I am not an anti-Calvinist, just a non-Calvinist. The thought didn’t occur to me.
