Head knowledge does not lead to revival. It makes great kindling. It makes for a hoisted and ready sail. But we ask the Spirit of the Living God to be the fire and the wind. With all our efforts wholly dependent on Him, we prepare to set aside three days as a sacred assembly to the Lord.

Mercy is giving someone what they do not deserve. It isn’t weakness; it is God’s strength bending low. Mercy meets us in our rebellion, covers our guilt, and restores our lives. To receive His mercy is to be transformed into people who extend it.
