Some Thoughts on the Asbury Revival

This episode contains some thoughts about an extraordinary church service known as the Asbury Revival of 2023. This episode contains some thoughts on criteria which could be applied to seek to determine the genuiness of this revival. It also contains discussion of some parallels between what is happening in Asbury in 2023 with a series of revivals which swept the English-speaking world starting in 1857.

Much of this episode is an exploration of an article found in the January 2007 edition of the Evangelical Review of Theology. The article, entitled “Prayer Revivals and the Third Great Awakening” can be found here

The Read Scripture Reading Plan

Week DayBookChaptersPsalmVideo
52SunRevelation21-2248Heaven and Earth: THM

STRUCTURE

This plan takes you through the entire bible in one year. The scriptures are divided up into sixteen “parts” and organized in semi-chronological order. You’ll read two or three chapters a day, and sometimes skim through larger portions that contain genealogies, census information, etc.

PSALMS OF PRAYER
One Psalm is listed each day for you to slowly pray through, making its words your own. By the end you’ll have prayed through the book of Psalms 2.5 times.

VIDEOS
Each day you come to a new biblical book there will be a short animated video on The Bible Project website about that book’s design and message and what to look for as you read. You can also sign up to have those videos emailed to your inbox. In addition to videos regarding books of the Bible, you will find theme videos relating to several topics that appear throughout Scripture.
