The Awakening We Need: Why the Reformed Pray for Revival by Ray Ortlund Jr. 

"The word revival speaks of life renewed. It’s about depletion lifted to restoration, refreshing reinvigoration. It’s about weary you and me reenergized with new sparkle in our eyes, new spring in our steps, new steel in our spines. And isn’t that very renewal our constant need?"
       So begins Pastor Ray Ortlund Jr. in this insightful and encouraging article. The subtitle of this article is "Why the Reformed Pray for Revival". And oh my friends we have such encouragement to pray, wait for, and eagerly long for revival in our hearts, families, churches, and nation.
      Ortlund defines revival as "ordinary Christians experiencing extraordinary power from on high, so that the gospel gets traction in us and through us with astonishing impact."
Let us pray to this end!
