“Any church which forsakes the regular and uniform for the periodical and spasmodic service of God, is doomed to decay; any church which relies for its spiritual strength and growth entirely upon seasons of "revival," will very soon have no genuine revivals to rely on.

If a church is declining, it may require a "revival" to restore it; but what need was there of its declining?” IfsMenNeedsMaySpiritualGrowthChurchMoralHolyBlessingSeasonsMoodGenuineGods WillRelyDecayUniformsDoomedConformRevivalForsakeCapriceSpiritual StrengthHoly God Author:Theodore L.
