“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.
I think most Christians would agree that what our country most needs, what it’s most lacking, is true spiritual revival. But it’s easy to say our country needs revival. The reality is harder to come by when we understand that revival in our nation won’t happen until it begins in our communities, our churches, our homes and our hearts.
