Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of our post today is Revival and Reformation Part 3.

We've been looking at the concepts of revival and reformation, and the fact that they are linked to Yahweh's assignments to Adam and Eve,

and therefore to all of us, in Genesis 126, 28. Each post builds on the next. So if you

haven't listened to or read the first two, please consider doing so.

In Genesis 1, 26, 7, and 8, Adam and Eve were told to multiply God's family

and to manage, steward, govern the earth.

Christ recommissioned the church to these assignments in Mark 16, 15 through 20,

and Matthew 28, 18 to 20. In Mark's gospel, he told us to preach the gospel in order to see people

saved. In other words, multiply God's family. When this happens with great

momentum and large numbers of people coming to Christ, we refer to it as revival. In Matthew's

commission, Christ instructed us to teach his commandments in order to disciple nations. In other words,

steward, manage, govern the earth. When this occurs on a broad scale, we call it Reformation.

The fact that we did not focus on both commissions in the charismatic and Jesus

people movements caused us to lose much of the fruit and was devastating to America's well-being.

Devastating. I'll discuss this on Thursday. to America's well-being devastating.

I'll discuss this on Thursday.

In yesterday's post, I listed a few comparisons between revival, Mark 16, and Reformation,

Matthew 28, to help us understand the differences.

I want to give several more today and tomorrow,

breaking down the differences into three categories.

These are great teaching for pastors, teachers, home group leaders to go through this study, break it down, spend a little more time on it.
