Many dear saints are perplexed and even discouraged at the seeming
indifference of Jehovah after all the highly organize efforts being put
forth to promote revival.
Denial of the Personality of the Holy Spirit
This is the day of denial of the personality of the Spirit. There is a
grave danger in our high-powered evangelistic machinery that we may
organize the blessed Spirit out of the church.It is easier to organize than to agonize!
Unless the Holy Spirit is given the prominent place in the seat of
authority, there will be only false fire, no matter how big the
financial budget may be. How many evangelistic campaigns I have known
in which the executive member of the Godhead was completely ignored!
Ignorance of the Mystical Body of Christ This is a day when men like to
magnify their denominations. Many evangelistic efforts seem to be
conducted for the sole glory of the denomination. How often in
evangelistic campaigns is a good gospel message offset by an invitation
that implies that denominational membership is equivalent to membership
in the supernatural body of Christ! Denominational membership can never
be a substitute for the new birth.
