Relief Prevents Repentance

By Dr. Jim Grant

​In our chaotic world today of trying to find some sort of stability, we often settle for relief rather than remedy.

I have found in people as well as churches many just want some sort of relief from the crisis or current dilemma.

Some things to note about relief:

• Relief is not revival
• Relief is not revitalization
• Relief is not reversal
• Relief  Prevents Repentance

If there isn't repentance, and only a relief [more comfortable condition] then there isn't a basis for God to work. Some situations people and churches are content to have a "manageable crisis"  mentality instead of real reform or restoration.

People and Churches need both revival and revitalization - call it revival-ization.

Revive the People, Revitalize the Church!
