Revival – August 21-24 with
Bro. Ronnie Sivells
In his book I Surrender, Patrick Morley writes
that the church’s integrity problem is in the
misconception "that we can add Christ to our lives, but
not subtract sin. It is a change in belief without a change
in behavior." He goes on to say, "It is revival without
reformation, without repentance."
Charles Finney is considered one of America’s
greatest past revivalist. Church roles swelled in the
wake of Finney’s revivals. The time frame was in the
1830’s. It is said that his revival meetings transformed
entire towns and in some towns after the meetings, the
bars would close down because there was no business
for them, and churches would spring up in their place.
Charles Finney made a significant impression upon the
religious life of 19th century America, and his influence
is still evident today. Called the “father of modern
revivalism” by some historians, he paved the way for
later revivalists like Dwight L. Moody, Billy Sunday,
and Billy Graham.
During his ministry he made the following
observations about revival:
1. A revival always includes the conviction of sin on the
part of the church.
2. Backslidden Christians will be brought to repentance.
3. A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of
obedience to God. Just as in the case of a converted
sinner, the first step is a deeper repentance, a breaking
down of the heart, a getting down into the dust before
God, with deep humility, and a forsaking of sin.
4. Christians will have their faith renewed…they will
see things in that strong light which will renew the love
of God in their hearts. This will lead them to labor
zealously to bring others to him.
5. A revival breaks the power of the world and of sin
over Christians.
6. When the churches are thus awakened and reformed,
the reformation and salvation of sinners will follow…
7. Revival is nothing more or less than a new obedience
to God!
Leonard Ravenhill said this in his book Why Revival
Tarries
“No man is greater than his prayer life…Poverty–
stricken as the church is today in many things, she is
most stricken here, in the place of PRAYER.
We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many
players and payers, few PRAYERS.
The ministry of preaching is open to few, the ministry
of PRAYER- the highest ministry of all human offices
is open to all."
Let's anticipate and prepare our hearts for a fresh
awakening of the Spirit of God in us. It requires a
devotion and discipline to prayer.
Forever His, Jeff
“Revival is the people of God living in the power of an
ungrieved, unquenched Spirit.”
“Revival is the church falling in love with Jesus all over
again.”
"Simply wait on him. So doing, we shall be directed,
supplied, protected, corrected and rewarded. "

Sandra Lawson and John & Lauren Bickel in memory of
their parents John Edmund and Grace Bickel

If you would like to make a donation to our library, please come in and speak to one of our staff.
We will be having an open house very soon. Watch the Trumpet for date and details.
A truly heartfelt thanks to Bro. Gene O’Bryan and Jerry Rosner for their
visit and prayers prior to my recent heart cauterization. They were there after-
wards together with Bro. Eugene Howard who offered a prayer of thanks for the
good result requiring no stints.
Bob Downs
Dear Church Family,
Thank you for my cup and pen for graduation, but
more importantly I thank you for the prayers and support
(and just a bit of harassment) I received from you all that
got me through the hard times.
I Love You Guys,
Doug Tarrence
The family of
Mrs. Pauline W. Tanner
gratefully acknowledges your
kind expression of sympathy.
The Tanner Family
Thank you brothers and sisters for your generosity in our mission project for the
2nd quarter of 2011. The Friends Of Sinners houses will be well stocked with
necessities due to your obedience to the Lord’s voice. Thank you again and may
God bless you as you bless Him.
Ladies In Action Team
We would like to express our thankfulness for your support and love dur-
ing the illness and death of our son, Jerry Moody. Thank you for the phone calls,
cards, visits at the funeral home, food, wonderful Gideon Bibles given in his
honor and most of all your prayers that strengthen. God’s love has been poured
upon us through your faithfulness and through the Holy Spirit.
This has encouraged us to go on serving our Savior until we can see him
again. What a joy it is to serve Him here with you our Church family.
Bro. Jeff and your staff: Each of you truly are an example of Jesus,
through your kind words, your actions and love.
We have a richer understanding of the nurturing God we serve. May God
bless each of you, and may He be glorified in all our efforts.
Bro. Les & Coreta Moody
“Retirement--The act of withdrawing from one’s position or occupation.” Such a sterile meaning
for such an emotional and difficult act. A word that is NOT found in the Bible. So, while Marie and I say
we are retiring from leadership of the Senior Adult Ministry, we are not “retiring” from the Lord’s work.
We are only moving in other directions as He leads. It is our desire to adjust our life to Him and His ways.
It has been an amazing and wonderful eight years of serving along side our senior adults. And we
look forward to joining with you as we support, pray for, and love whomever God sends to lead us in the
special work God has for the seniors of WMBC.
After much soul-searching and prayer, we talked with our pastor and staff and submitted our letter
to retire from the Senior Adult Ministry as of June 30th. We will be taking the month of July off for further
prayer and reflection as to how God wants to use us in His work.
Many of you have gone through the “Experiencing God” study. One of the instructions deals with
our busyness and you know how often we have exclaimed, “We’re so busy!!!” So I share this tidbit from
Experiencing God:
“We are a doing people. We always want to be doing something!
In contrast, I think God is crying out to us,
‘Don’t just do something. Stand there!
Enter a love relationship with Me. Get to know Me. Adjust your life to Me.
Let Me love you and reveal Myself through you to a watching world.’
A time will come when doing will be called for, but we cannot skip the relationship.
The relationship with God must come first.”
So, for a brief time we plan to “don’t just do something. Stand there!” We do know that He has not
released us from teaching our respective Bible study classes.
There are no words to adequately express our love and appreciation to the seniors, staff and entire
church family for the bond of love we
have in Christ and your willingness to
roll up your sleeves and become
involved with God in His work.
We look forward to exciting
times with you as each of us
at WMBC submit to Christ’s
Lordship over our lives and to
Christ’s headship over our
church.
Serving God, serving others,
Bro. Gene & Marie
