And that Hope, is in children, in Awakening, in REVIVAL, in Asbury! Praise GOD for The Children, Praise GOD for Worship, to Bring Thee GOOD NEWS of our Lord JESUS, our Saviour, our Salvation! Amen and AMEN! Can't wait for JESUS Revolution movie opening in theaters 2/22! Come LORD JESUS Come!
Beck A. Taylor, president of Samford University, emailed students Friday, thanking God for the revival. The revival at Reid Chapel on the Samford campus had been going on for 48 continuous hours as of Friday morning, he said.
Samford is located about 400 miles from Asbury's Wilmore, Ky., campus.
"This is spontaneous, organic, student-led worship," Taylor wrote. "Having spent some time yesterday with those worshipping in Reid Chapel, I can testify that the Holy Spirit is at work in and among our student body. What's happening isn't contrived, programmed, or scripted. Nor is it performative or disingenuous. Students and others see it as an opportunity for the Samford campus to find unity in Christ, to encourage one another to faithfulness, and to extend the love and grace of Jesus to everyone."
Taylor urged students to "resist the temptation to label what's happening, or to put it into some kind of a neat box."
"I'm convinced that God is doing a new thing here, and all we're asked to do is to remain faithful to God's calling," Taylor wrote. "Our theme this year is HOPE. Our hope can be found in the person and work of Jesus Christ. As we worship Jesus today, let's allow hope to abound in us so that we can spread God's hope throughout this campus and the world."
Amen. Beautiful.
