"R E V I V A L  I S  C O M I N G  S O O N"

By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

Some things which you could possibly tell your acquaintances about our Revival and our church are:

1) We are a congregation of simply Christians. We are not a denomination, as we do not have a human name, ordinances or creeds. We wear a Bible name only (Acts 11:26).
2) We are striving to be simply the church which was established following the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ (Matthew 16:16-18; Acts 2:47; 5:11; 8:1; Romans 16:16).
3) We have no head, but Christ. No earthly person is the head of Christ's church (Ephesians 1:22,23; 5:23).
4) We have no book, but the Bible. The Bible is the inspired Word of God which is sufficient to reveal what one needs to do to become a Christian and to give direction as to how to live a Christian life (II Timothy 3:16,17).
5) We have no plea, but the Gospel. The preaching of the Word of God is capable of converting mankind. It is a divine message and must be carried on by the church (Romans 1:16; Matthew 28:18-20).
6) We strive to have unity with others that are willing to accept the prayer of Jesus for His followers to be united. However, we contend that refusal to have unity on the grounds of man-made doctrines is sin (John 17:20-23; I Corinthians 1:10-17).
7) We strive to live Godly lives and to minister to one another. Jesus taught that Christians are to be "salt" and "light" which will influence the world greatly, by giving flavor and direction (Ephesians 4:17-32).

Thus, you are being asked to personally invite some of your acquaintances to our REVIVAL. IF you would offer them a ride or to meet them at the door, and to sit with them - it would probably give them confidence to attend. ALSO, you might assure them that no one will embarrass them, by forcing them to read, pray, sing, or by "dragging" them to the front.
