Many Want a "Dignified" Revival

Many want a “dignified” revival or no revival at all. They do not want
anybody’s feelings hurt or people’s sense of orderliness insulted. That
blessed man, Duncan Campbell, told me once that after speaking to a
ministerial group concerning the mighty manifestations of God in
Hebrides, one pastor declared, “If that is revival, I for one, do not
want it!” What a tragedy. As E. W. Mills has so beautifully stated:
“Revival has to do with life and more life; rich life, abundant life, zestful life, spacious sparkling life, overflowing life, victorious life, colorful life, and many-splendored life. There will be nothing tame and dull when the Spirit works. It will mean goodbye to deadness, to dullness, to boredom, to complacency, to sophistication, and all the other features of second-rateness.”
The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. – Isa. 60:13.
