Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15. The title of today's post,

Let's Do It Right This Time. I've been releasing posts on the subjects of Revival and Reformation,

They're very different, and understanding those differences is critically important.

to disciple nations, enabling them to steward, manage, and govern the earth in accordance

with God's ways. When this occurs on a broad scale, we call it Reformation. We've analyzed the

differences involved in these assignments in posts one, two, and three. And now for today,
