Description
Revive Us Again is not only the name of this book, but it is also the name of an old hymn written by WM. P. MacKay and J.J. Husband. The title and song were taken from the scripture Psalms 85:6, where the Bible reads, ""Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?"" It is an unfortunate circumstance that there are Christians who are spiritually weak in the body of Christ. Either they are still living in sin or they are complacent in their Christianity. The Psalmist is calling on God to make them vibrant and alive like they once were, so they can rejoice in the Lord. Maybe Christians should start asking God to revive them, considering we are commanded to ""Rejoice Always In The Lord"" (Philippians 4:4). This collection of sermons were preached and written by brother Holloway for the sole purpose of helping God's children see why they ought to be revived by the Lord and rejoice in Him. When we hear the words of the song, it is both admonishing with a triumphant language suggesting we are to be revived because Christ was resurrected. Hear the words: ""We praise Thee, O God! For the Son of Thy love, For Jesus who died and is now gone above. We praise Thee, O God! For Thy Spirit of light, who has shown us our Savior, and scattered our night. All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain. Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed every stain. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen! Hallelujah! Thine the glory, revive us again!""
