Trail Mix - 9.23.19

September 23, 2019 – “When you revive something you make it live again for that is the meaning of this compound word. Revival makes the church live again! What is the key to real revival in the church? R. A. Torrey's first rule was."Let a few members of any church get thoroughly right with God themselves." Then they can go after others, but not until then. God wants us to humble ourselves, deny ourselves, and give ourselves completely to HIM. Until we are willing to do this there can be no revival. "Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people might rejoice in thee." S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is that you could experience a time of personal revival in your life.

Acts 3:19  Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; KJV

A minister was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners. The churchgoer was known for being a terrible housekeeper. When the minister sat down at the table, he noticed the dishes were the dirtiest he had ever seen in his life. "Have these dishes ever been washed?" he asked the hostess, running his fingers over the filthy dishes. She replied, "They're as clean as soap and water could get them." He felt a bit apprehensive but said grace and started eating. It was quite delicious, despite the dirty dishes. When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside, whistled and yelled, "Here, Soap! Here, Water!"
