I came to America at the age of 17 as an exchange student, and a year later, I was a student at Dartmouth. I would say that the rather weak foundation of my Christianity was effectively battered at Dartmouth. I've had mostly a secular career. But I became intellectually interested in Christianity again in my mid-30s.
A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.
Prayer for revival will prevail when it is accompanied by radical amendment of life; not before.
Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy.
I walked away from going to church when I was 8. I didn't set foot in another church until I was 28.
America has begun a spiritual reawakening. Faith and hope are being restored. Americans are turning back to God. Church attendance is up. Audiences for religious books and broadcasts are growing. And I do believe that he has begun to heal our blessed land.
Khomeini has offered us the opportunity to regain our frail religion ... faith in the power of words.
The reason why congregations have been so dead is, because they had dead men preaching to them. O that the Lord may quicken and revive them! How can dead men beget living children?
I read all the speeches of the pope, his commentaries, and if the pope continues this way, I will go back to praying and go back to the church, and I'm not joking.
