Preacher’s Point: Christians need revival The church needs revival. Before shouting, “Amen!” to that comment, “Oh my!” may be more appropriate. “Amen” to the statement about revival is a stamp of approval, yet it implies that everyone else needs fixing. The “Oh my” indicates that the hearer understands they are also part of the problem. The church and possibly every Christian need to grab a Bible and lock themselves away with God for a time and do not come out until the heart is changed. There are seven indications the church or an individual Christian requires revival. I. When brotherly love is lacking.
