Isaiah 11.9 - Reformation: Revival that Sticks
The man to disciple ‘new born’ Nineveh eagerly waited for them to burn. So, as we read from what Nahum wrote AFTER Jonah, Nineveh returned to their evil ways. Nineveh’s revival fizzled. Thank God for great experiences! But only a complete and lasting re-orientation to God and His truth will change our world. Revival is like a flash flood. Reformation is when God, through His people, channels that life-giving water to make a lasting difference. Reformation Christian’s apply the Word of God to their society for Kingdom advance. “…for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11.9). Christ transforms our homes, schools, media, government, business, and the arts. Biblical love, mercy, justice, truth, and forgiveness become the currency of society. “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” (Psalm 85.6)
