Revival Of Death Chris Gaba

"The Church is in an incredible dilemma." That was the comment of an old Evangelist being interviewed recently on a TV programme. In her eyes, the church was irrelevant and lacked any real influence in our society. One prominent minister went so far as to say that the church as an institution was dead. For those of us who regard ourselves as part of the church, such statements should stand as an open rebuke. Why has the church lost its influence? Where is that dynamic power that once characterized the people of God? It is no good pretending that the state of the church is in a healthy condition. Some churches are growing, for which we praise God, but the overall picture is one of decline and fragmentation. Such a situation calls for drastic action.
