One of the fastest ways to incur God's displeasure is to fail to pass on His forgiveness. It's a bigger deal than you think.

We cannot adequately explain the hardest moments of our lives. We cannot soothe all the sorrows that regularly beset us, or the sorrows of those whom God has placed around us. We cannot wave a magic wand and fix the distresses we see besieging those we love, those we work with, those we know. In our hardest moments, our best efforts are feeble...our best words are hollow.

Though there are terrible struggles in the world today, it is important to remember there are other times in history when the world has been equally distressed--perhaps even times that were worse. Because we don't know when God's marvelous grace and patience with humanity will end, it is imperative we remain hopeful--primed and ready for revival and renewal if God allows it. to happen. With history as our guide, we find evidence for how best to prepare for those revivals and awakenings. Here are ten keys--3 beliefs, 4 traits and 4 actions--Christian history shows are necessary for anyone to be agents of renewal in our cultures. How many do you possess? What are you prepared to to let God accomplish in and through you?

Our small Christian Writers' Group had members from all parts of town. We needed a centrally located place to meet. Most places charge and we couldn't afford to pay. Then I remembered that a long-time prayer partner was a member of a church downtown. I placed a call and received permission to use her name. That's all it took. Doors were graciously opened at no charge. I was grateful and amazed. There is power in a name.

Even my hero, Oswald Chambers-the mighty spiritual giant who authored the bestselling Christian book of all time (other than the Bible), My Utmost for His Highest-even my hero Oswald Chambers struggled over not being able to pay his rent. How could God not answer Oswald's prayers!?!
Same with Tom. Before, when he was still answering the phone, Tom endured the steady mix of soothing promises and abusive threats. Confident God would answer his prayers, he patiently worked through the telephone calls, making promises where he could pay and trying to explain when he couldn't...
