Thought for the Day by Phil Moon (Vicar)

The power of the love of God, come and                      stand in awe
 

​The last revival on the UK mainland happened 100 years ago this month, in Lowestoft. And when we lived in Lowestoft we had people in our church who actually experienced it. Their memories were vivid, and quite extraordinary! So do read what follows from Christopher Wilding:

Revival: a sovereign move of God wherein individuals and whole congregations are brought to repentance and renewal, resulting in the spreading of the Gospel with great power out into society, bringing many to Christ and effecting radical changes for good within that society.
​
I long for revival. Revival in Hove and Brighton, Sussex and out to all corners of the UK.
Revival being a sovereign move of God means that we ourselves cannot bring it about. But we can pray.  Historically revivals are preceded by seasons of prayer, by individuals, groups and congregations.

We can start by first asking God for our own personal renewal and revival. Cry out, 'Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths'. In seeking God this way we are treading a path that many great saints have taken before us.
Should you decide to follow the call to pray for revival, I would like to suggest one starting point, (one of many), that I have found most helpful.

The modern hymn, Come O Sinner, is a hymn that brings me to my knees. It shows me again the great depths of love the Father has for me and for each one of us; for surely His only Son 'was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.'                     
Verse 1
Come, O sinner, come and see
Christ the Lord upon a tree
See the crown of thorns adorn the King
Who labours to breathe in agony
Come, O sinner, come and see
What our God became to set us free
Verse 2
Come, O sinner, come and mourn
For He calls your sin His own
Do you feel the weight of justice served?
He suffers the wrath that you deserve
Come, O sinner, come and mourn
For He bears the curse for all you've done
Chorus
Oh the wonder of this awesome scene
Where our Saviour bleeds
Oh the power of the love of God
Come and stand in awe
Verse 3
Come, O sinner, come rejoice
Mercy fills this place of scorn
For He dies to save His enemies
That all who draw near may know His peace
Come, O sinner, come rejoice
Through the death of Christ death is destroyed
