Ruins from the Temple of Artemis in Sardis

A dead church is one that LACKS IMPACT. It makes NO DIFFERENCE.

Spiritually dead churches: Have lost their sense of MISSION to those who have not heard about Jesus Christ and do not pant after the Great Commission.

Renewal seems to start with a “discovery” or “re-discovery” of the WORD OF GOD..

Awakenings and missionary movements have two things in common: PRAYER and the HOLY SPIRIT.

…… they were claiming to have acquired both by their OWN EFFORTS. The lukewarm need to re-establish FELLOWSHIP with Jesus.
